New car
OK, it may be dealing time.
My preferred dealer just got a new car in tonight, in one of my preferred colors, and are gunning for me. Unfortunately, it's got carbon ceramics and a CF rear spoiler (i.e., what I've been referring to as frou-frou), but it's otherwise got exactly the specs I'm looking for.
MSRP is $178,600. Dealer has already told me of the $30k "down payment assist".
My plan is to right away ask for $50k off (ie $30k "discount" and another $20k). Does that seem reasonable as a starting point? If not, I've heard about the cars offered in the high 120's to low 130's and can obviously easily travel to get a better deal.

Bob, call other dealers
You are not gaming sufficiently by focusing on a single store

Remember the rules of the game
The more optioned out the car is the more discount possible
A mid optioned car $180K + or - may not have $50 of discount in it
Also, a car that just hit the ground hasn't cost the dealer so much in carrying costs and may not be as motivated to push it out

I doubt very seriously if he will entertain an offer that low (does not hurt to try though), best I could do on a $178K car non program/ demo was $140K...FWIW

Thank you both kindly for the words of advice. I've cast a wide net, looking at cars within a reasonable (read: 10-12 hour drive, I'm the road trip king) distance. I've given my preferred dealer the time of day because I've gotten decent deals from them in the past on more plebeian Acuras, and have a nearly 20-year relationship with them. Can't hurt to ask for $140k, I suppose.
You mean $7k off in addition to the $30k price support? And on a low to mid optioned car? Just asking for clarification.
They don't or won't move much from there, I had talked with 8 to 10 dealers, when I found my bottom..JM2C

Yes in addition to 30. Ranged. I've seen it on a $201k msrp and also on $180k.

Thanks. I figured as much, but didn't want to assume. I'm finding the same in my talks with dealers.

not much more.
You can if you really shop it.
Thanks, [MENTION=33982]Taxdr1965[/MENTION], I picked up the one from Elite Acura today. $180.8k MSRP, came home at $135 - $45.8 off.
Actually, thanks to everyone on Prime for sharing your experience.
Still on the fence on what to do - if anything - with the 03.
Did you sign on the dotted line...
In the works, just deciding on a couple options out there..got till the end of the month :smile:. My biggest debate is carbon brakes or not...
No I’m only looking for either white color color.

Hey guys. I'm new here but looking at second gen NSX due to the recent price incentives.
What's the lowest price you guys have seen this car go for?

October NSX sales showed a strong rebound. 26 were sold in September and 67 in October. The discounts are starting to move cars and inventory is being cleared. If Acura limits production and doesn't flood the market next year, prices should rebound. Now seems to be the bottom!

If you were responding to me, then yes it’s the Valencia Red. Thanks for leaving it for me to buy.
I wonder what the calculus was for the $30k incentive. Why not $20k instead?
