Acura has a fire sale

[Ja Rhule]

So wifey and I walked into Acura dealership today and it was like walking into Black Friday store. Dealership was packed with people... Come to find out that Acura is about to get 2016 models and they need to get rid of 2015 models so they sale everything at cost. Brand new MDX is going for as low as 44k... Dealership was so packed that they could not sale us a car today, we picked a car and Acura reserved it for us and we have to come back next week to finish paperwork.

If you looking to buy a brand new Acura, I suggest you do it now.

'Buy' and 'brand new Acura' do not compute.

Why that?

 

You can get old model 2012 Acura with 40k miles for $34k or brand new model with 6 miles for 44k...  Which one would you pick?

All 3 of my cars made in the late 90's are all paid for. They run great and I pay very little for insurance. I sleep good at night.

I have a 98 jeep Cherokee

2 yes 2 2000 Chrysler Town and Country minivans they run great. The upkeep is real cheap as well.

Something a few years older for about $35K less. In all seriousness though, if a new Acura is the onlt option then it does sound like now's the time.

i have a 96 laredo, I wonder about it sometimes but it hasn't died on me yet.

There is something to be said for driving a disposable vehicles.

The older I get, the less I want to spend on a car and the less I care about what it is.

i just like to spend my money on other things, for example I'm in the middle of planning a month long trip to Europe this summer that is going to run me at least $4000.

And when my tattoo sleeve that I'm finishing in March is complete it will be worth twice what the tax value of my vehicle is by the time I'm done.

Priorities!

i was driving a '92 cutlass ciera until 2013 and it was a tank.  it still runs like a champ but i had a chance at a family friend's lightly used toyota that i couldn't pass up.

 

i mean yeah it was literally bought off somebody's grandma who exclusively drove it to the grocery store and church but it had easy upkeep and it was dirt cheap to insure.  i liked the 3300 engine too.

lol I'd never spend more than 20k for a new car. No reason to, you don't have to. It's jsut there to get you from point A to B...brand new cars are such a waste of money, 5k miles can give you mind numbing value it baffles me people don't care.

 

that extra money can go to sooooo many better things.

 

You can get a Camry/Accord brand new for right under 20k, a Civic/Carolla brand new for 14k, a used Rav4/CR-V with under 20k miles on it for jst under $20k.

 

And other brands are even cheaper but those are the most reliable. Why would you need anything else/more expensive? Unless you use a truck for your job or have a 6+ person family, you don't need...you just want.

 

Just silyness to me but hey, this is America.

I would certainly like to able to fit into an Accord, or a Toyota or any other smaller, more efficient sedan. But there just aren't that many vehicles which accommodate 6'6" and a touch over 260lbs.

 

My wife's Infiniti G is a badass car, but after 30 minutes behind the wheel I'm already uncomfortable...

You can tell who got a new job around here. Lol

love my Acuras....had an 04 TL that I put almost 200,000 miles on it trouble free.

 

wife has an 08 MDX with 160,000 miles with zero issues and my 14 TL A spec with 15,000 miles in less than a year....love them all

When I bought my used TSX, acuras were depreciating faster than Hondas. You could get a tsx for thousands less than a comparable civic. Given those choices, which would you choose?
