Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I'm looking for a brand new one.
Unless there's a buy-it-now price posted, which there isn't, we have no idea how much money it would take to buy the car, since the seller's reserve price is not disclosed.White92 said:there's an 02, the exact same car, on Ebay that's alot cheaper.
Meeyatch1 said:So...I just have to know...is it the amazing lease deal that is provoking the acquisition of a new 2005?? :smile:
Since the first 2005s are just starting to reach dealers (Greenwich's is the first NSX built for the U.S. market for the 2005 model year, VIN 5S000001, and Niello has a 2005 yellow automatic that is 5S000007), it's possible that most other dealers haven't received any yet. And, of course, not every dealer will receive any (let alone the color combination you're looking for).RyRy210 said:Greenwich has a blue '05.

RyRy210 said:Does anyone remember whether the '04 deal was still in effect during the month of May '04?

Does leasing allow any mods?
I could swear an earlier post in this topic said almost the exact same thing! :biggrin:CChung said:Downey Acura has an '04 silver/onyx in stock at this moment.

I think they'll give you a good deal so negotiate hard.
whwnsx said:Can someone explain the great "lease deal"? Is it really better to lease than to finance? Finance people usually don't recommend leasing since you are restircted as to milage and have to worry about the condition of the car when the lease is up. I like to own my car. That way I can do anything to it , like change it's look or performance. Does leasing allow any mods?
A lease is not really much different than a purchase, its the turn in/sale that hurts you.
If you buy a car and stretch the payments out(long term- 60months+) then go to sell it in 3 years you may or may not be ok. Resale/residual value depends on mileage/ condition etc etc. You will probably be upside down value/loan amount wise if you have driven the car a lot or not taken care of it. In a lease all you are actually doing is paying the finance charges and the depreciation over the lease term. If you drive the car more it depreciates more, you need to pay more.
Leasing has other benefits as in tax right-offs etc.
Most people lease for the tax benefits/write off or they know approximetely the use they will get from a car and dont plan on keeping it past the lease term. A lot of people want a new car every 1,2,3 years so they lease and dont have to bother selling it.
If you plan on keeping a car a long time the only benefit to leasing is taxes/ possible lower finance rates for the lease.
Most important thing about doing a lease if you plan on keeping the car is to make sure the buyout is set before you finalize the lease.
Mods- if you are keeping the car then spraypaint it if you wish, just make sure you have all your ducks in a row. The end of 3 years in an NSX lease you need to come up with ~55K.
BRIDGEWATER ACURA said:We havent recieved our 2005's yet and they dont even appear on our allocation. I have 3 05's slated to come in and they are open orders. Thats means we can still order any color combo's we want. That lease deal is simply unreal. The lease deal is always available presuming we still have cars that have not been "burned" or reported as being sold. The lease deal is actually worse for 2005 than it was for 2004 but it is still unreal. My opinion for leasing is no matter what the MSRP is; i'll pay 1.5% of MSRP. Thats a good rule of thumb and normally a reasonable deal. Anyways the last new 2004 we sold was for roughly $83k. I would love to see some PRIME member get a great deal on a new 2005 so PM and we can chat..
I believe Superior Acura in KC has an '04 silver/onyx on their showroom floor right now.RyRy210 said:and the dealer told me its going to get here May of 2005!! That's half a year!

Doc C said:Pike's Peak Acura had a Silver/Silver 2004 with 1,500 miles on it. It was awful nice. I know it's not exactly what you want, but the deal might be decent.
Many dealers around here will put exorbitant prices on stickers on the window, but will sell cars for much less. I guess they hope that some idiot will walk in and buy it at the price posted on the sticker...wagyshag said:I looked at this car - the sticker on the window.....is $93k
