 | 	- This was my first Acura- ever. My eye was set on the TSX (Silver Moon) with technology package, but I was hoping that I could get it with the budget I had in mind. Not so much, I wanted have it OTD under $30K, but they couldn't do that. Understandable I guess, but that would have been an incredibly sweet deal for me. The husband and I have done extensive research on Acura and Honda (my other choice of cars), and were ready to talk to people.
Dealership was very clean and full of people when we walked in, it was a sure sign that they weren't having a problem selling.. atleast that's what it looked like.
Since Keith and Wade (the people in contact through email and phone in the beginning) were busy at the time, so Patrick was helping us out.
He was friendly, and upfront about all the costs early on, which is nice, but I was hoping for a little more room for negotiating the price down. We took it for a test drive and I really enjoyed it, we both agreed this car was could handle turns and had good response.
I initially hoped that the only Silver Moon that they had on the lot didn't have all extra accessories (window tint, side body molding, and wheel locks), because they could just add it onto the price of the car and just charge me for it without saying anything. Which they did say they couldn't remove it, but are willing to discount it, so I was okay with that. 
We said that we would look at other dealerships and come back, and Patrick didn't pressure us, another associate ask us if there was anything else they could do, and that was it. As we test drove the Honda Civic down the street, we realized we were willing to pay a little more for an Acura, so we went back to Patrick.
We told him our thoughts and went into more detail about payments, and they were willing to work with us. They also threw in a $250 voucher to help me get my monthly payments done a tad, so that was a nice gesture. Paperwork was fairly painless and quick, since we knew exactly what we wanted, we declined all the extended warranty and extras.. Overall experience was pleasant and I LOVE my car!
