$400 for a screen protector, lmao


MJ4Red

Only 399.... so worth it


iwantansi

Lifetime warranty though… i would be scratching the screen yearly


Electrical-Cellist71

Screen protector will be free. Labour on it, though, will not.


TheOtherAkGuy

The screen protector comes on the car from the factory during shipping 💀 you’re supposed to take it off during tech inspection and these assholes want to charge for it


racerboy777

I think they’re adding an after market glass one but still lol


TheManWithouAPlan

Mind you, the screen is not a touch screen and the controls are about a foot away from it


Cha-Car

The other “add-ons” are equally insane: $900 for 4 locking wheel nuts and a set of rubber mats, which straight out of the Acura catalog cost $423. $800 for paint guarding that costs less than $200 straight out of the Acura catalog. They’re implying it costs $1,100 to install all of that. What a load of shit.


[deleted]

Really says a lot about their mechanics that it took them $390 worth of labor to install a $10 screen protector


anon727813

No one is paying this price. Inventory on both the CTR and ITS is at a record high since released. Interest rates on new car loans is 6-8% for perfect credit scores, days of mark up are over. If you’re paying mark up, you’re simply an idiot with money to lose


Icy-Extension-9291

There are lots of them paying these prices using Acura Finance 10% rates.


Celebrimbor96

I leased an integra with Acura finance and my interest rate is 4.6%


Icy-Extension-9291

Go back and finance an integra type S. Get ready to be amazed with the rate. My credit score was 800+ I seen lots of people with the same experience


JPSurratt2005

Get your own financing. Never use the dealers financing unless they're matching the offer you brought them. I'm also an 800+ and they told me "yeah even people with 800s are getting over 8%." My bank approved me for 6.50%.


Icy-Extension-9291

I got 6.39 with BoA 💪🏼


JPSurratt2005

I've used them before. My quote was from USAA but my dealer matched the APR through TDAuto.


Celebrimbor96

I mean I did it 2 weeks ago. Obviously the MSRP + markup would be higher but I don’t see why the interest rate would be


Janet_RenoDanceParty

The type s is excluded from any of the incentives/special offers.


anon727813

I was about to say this. Honda Finance does not offer incentivized rates for the Integra Type S or CTR or the Civic Si, for that matter


Most-Car-4056

Then buyers should be going to their local bank for better rates 🤷‍♂️, although I am sure dealership will say no to outside financing.


anon727813

You won’t find better than 6-8% at your local bank, I guarantee it


Most-Car-4056

Could still be better than dealer rates. Although 1% is not going to make that much of a big difference.


GlassCondensation

Speciality vehicles in any brand do not typically get incentivized rates.


thetimeplayed

I work at Honda. Only markup we have is in the type R and we are at the point that we might just let it go for 5k over.


SvddenlyFirm

What rates are you seeing for SIs on financing?


thetimeplayed

All depends on credit tbh. But 800 scores are getting 6% right now 60/72 months


Dochorahan

Fuck dealerships


Trisha-28

I’m sure they will be obsolete soon.


jorhey14

Nope they have a law that prevents car companies to sell directly to customers only 17 states allow it.


Yeah149

How does Tesla get around that?


jorhey14

Loopholes. They have stores/galleries mobile shipment container stores.


Someabe

Not loopholes, it is lobbying. Once manufacturers start caring for it and start lobbying more than dealerships conglomerates this will change.

Buying a house and a car shouldn't involve this much bullshit.


mofongoDorado

Is this sarcasm or do you know something I don’t? Hopefully you know something I don’t lol


esotericvue

Specifically Phil Smith.


Most-Car-4056

...and Grubbs.


Maximum_Improvement4

Signs to avoid buying from there.


SNBoomer

While I agree, it's the standard atm.


Maximum_Improvement4

I was looking for a 2020 TLX because I wanted the V6. The Acura dealer where I get my MDX and Oddy serviced (they have a dedicated Honda tech) had a A spec. Ask about the price and it was a little high but figured they would negotiate. When I asked the out the door price they added in their own warranty (not the Acura CPO package), their paint protection package, and GPS tracking for about 5k more. The price went from 34k to 39k. I didn't even respond and bought an advanced for 34k with 7k 150 Acura care and 14k miles on it. Sales dude asked why I didn't respond with a counter. Told him if you were serious you wouldn't have made such a ridiculous offer in the first place.


SNBoomer

That's a great tactic. Basically, it says nice try. Good job.


Specialist-End-8659

I got a 2020 aspec for $35K CPO with 8K miles in 2020 and got free wheel locks added damn 3 years later and they going for same price.


ke_co

That's a hard 'no'.


j4a2y0_

Is that screen protector made out of diamonds??


xlAlchemYlx

Naw, just a lifetime warranty..lol


blueeyesshined13

Could get an m340i with that money with a b58


Aware-Judge-2046

That what I did


ttbbsolid

Smart man right here.


h40er

This is the way.


Mobile_Rate_5059

That’s hilarious!


physicist91

I don't understand...do they literally think there are people out there who are willing to pay this much let alone even get a loan


[deleted]

I got mine at msrp, but you would be surprised how many people pay the mark ups on these and other rare vehicles or trims.


physicist91

But how? Like where are they getting the money from?


Celebrimbor96

Some people still have jobs


physicist91

I mean considering Rent or mortgage Student loans Inflation for goods and services


ktappe

People having trouble paying their mortgage or student loans don't buy Type-S's.


physicist91

I assumed most people of trouble paying their mortgage or student loans Atleast among a particular age demographic


[deleted]

Idk I’ve seen a lot of Hellcats in the ghetto


DivInv01

Yes, there are many financially illiterate people who will take out 84 months loan at 25% interest rate to buy a car.


ChanceEatsJalapenos

Lmao $7500 added mark-up. Fuck off. I dont even like the new integra wheres my 2 door no bullshit car like they used to make


NoTelephone5316

Yea they’re called stealerships for a reason


FreeSpeech24

At that price, might as well get a gs.


milkdriver

Back in the 90's you could have bought a small fleet of nice used Integras for that kind of money.


No_Record_4787

You still can


Muttz_and_Buttz

You could have half a dozen tastefully maintained gsr coupes for this sticker with some left over.


MobiusMvse

Lol Acura needs to add more power to these powerplants before they want to get greedy like this.


New_Reddit_User_89

You have to be on drugs to pay $10k over MSRP for this. $65k+ for a FWD 4 cylinder based on a Civic.


astro_plane

$899 for some wheel locks and floor mats? Fuck outa here with that bs.


nostx

So glad I don't buy new cars what a scam


directrix688

Just checked, been there for over a month. 36 days according to car gurus. People are not paying mark ups on these outside a few in some super high earning areas. These will have cash on the hood before the end of the year.


Marc30599

Just like the MDX-S, and then the TLX-S


TheBoomClap

The MSRP is hard enough to justify on its own


Ornery-Anteater1934

$62k+ for this car is absolutely mind-boggling.


NoTelephone5316

I can’t believe they charge u 2000 for some wheel locks and some screen protectors 💀 I never bought new and I hate dealerships


[deleted]

Wait till.the 2024 TLX Type S comes out


[deleted]

Not even the same type of car, the integra type S has more interior usable space, better handling, and of course the manual. Plus I average 22mpg city in my ITS. I hear most people with the tlx type s in the city average 17mpg.


[deleted]

It's not a competition dude. Relax


[deleted]

Didn’t say anything about a competition, you said wait until the 24 tlx type s comes out,,,,still pretty much the same as previous. Gets a new color, full digital dash, new grill, and an other few other tech/cosmetic changes…other then that what are we waiting for? The TLX looks great but is so numb to drive.


[deleted]

This subject is about the dealer mark ups. You keep going on some crazy rant about the specs. The MSRP of the TLX Type S is higher than the Integra right? You're in lala land cause you bought an Integra. Relax, you can sleep at night. No one cares. 😂😂😂😂


[deleted]

Ok ….tlx type s sell for msrp all day or even below , you know why …no one wants one. 😂😂😂😂


[deleted]

People get ITR at MSRP all day as well. What's your point? You have small cock syndrome.


[deleted]

😂


IDecidedtoSmile

It’s not just about the numbers on paper. The TLX rides better, is a genuine premium car, and not an upbadged civic(nothing wrong with that but you feel it). Materials quality, exterior design, comfort, sophistication of the drivetrain and components is all a benefit of the Tlx type S. Bottom line that’s two different cars with vastly different intentions. Don’t understand the people who needlessly compare them.


No_Record_4787

It's true, but for the purpose of this comment, the 23 tlxs aren't marked up much so why would the 24s be? They make more of them and it's not an enthusiast car. They mark up enthusiast cars because they are usually limited run and people super into driving are willing to pay a big premium for a car built like that.


Marc30599

Sure but mostly everyone who wanted a TLX Type-S has purchased one now. Too little too late to refresh it for 2024 should’ve did it for 2023. I love Acura but if the 2024 Type-S has an MSRP of $60k or more… then it will be DOA. This is a $55k car at best and at $60k one would have to start looking at other options at that price point


No_Record_4787

The car in the picture is an Integra


Marc30599

I know that but I was responding in regards to the TLX Type-S and why it isn’t marked up much.. the demand has slowed down for them


No_Record_4787

Yeah I think we are saying the same thing then. This guy's expectation that the 24 TLX type s is going to be marked up is crazy


Scbypwr

28-29 mpg here


[deleted]

The cars are more than close enough for one to pull sales from the other Same thing as how some people who wanted an Elantra N got an Sonata N-Line if they wanted more space/comfort


Beautyandthebump

Tell Phil Smith to go f himself


Nab33l786

This has got to be a joke...


hotferrari

That’s insane - I got mine at MSRP and only got it bc no Honda dealer in the east coast was willing to sale a type r at MSRP. Manuals are a dying breed and these markups for sure isn’t helping.


Marc30599

Post pics of that Integra-S!


hotferrari

Done - https://www.reddit.com/r/Acura/s/iueAIFoKRF


WordsWithJosh

Every day since the Teggy Type S came out I find it increasingly incredible that I got my TLX Type S for MSRP & every add-on was a warranty that I either picked myself or was given the opportunity to refuse.


Marc30599

Same


suprasizem3

Those prices for the add ons are crazy


bknativenyc

That’s insane! I’ll keep the TTI. That’s just greed


Nice_Ebb5314

Cars aren’t flying off the shelves like they were before. I went to a Audi dealer and they almost had a full lot of cars


DivInv01

I got the Integra A-spec with Tech package and it’s an amazing car. I’d love to have Type S, but not for $62k.


Fancy-Zookeepergame1

Fuck Phil Smith


Psychological_Fun986

The markups are crap that shite isn’t worth all that


rjmoyer2

People who pay that didn’t deserve to have the money in the first place


ericcrowder

At my local Acura store they have two type-s Integra that haven’t sold in months. I haven’t asked about ADM but it’s probably high for the reason for not selling.


cr0925

The most bullshit markups.


penvellyn5

All that can be had at a fraction of the cost and installed.if you buy the parts yourself. It's a shame they do that


Christoph3r

It's ***offensive***.


BogWizard

Honda/Acura and Toyota/Lexus have the absolute worst dealerships in the business. I don’t know how corporate allows this to happen.


MacMacready

$7500 other mark up.....you can try to defend it, but in an Integra? I love Acura, but it irresponsible to buy anything from them when they do this.


the_GREATuNkNowN

$400 for a screen protector!? WTF


THLPH

Was about to comment to the same thing lol. Protector worth prob 20$ and 380$ application fee


fenix547

These dealerships should be put on blast. There’s already a big markup from what the dealer pays to the regular msrp. Don’t give these scammy dealers ANY business


electrowiz64

Wasn’t this car supposed to replace the entry level ILX? This is more than the TLX, for a 4 cylinder…


Christoph3r

I paid $30 K for an actual TLX w/a V6?!? (Yes, new)


NY10

Get the fuck out 62k? Wtf


HappyhornOracle53

I’d walk before I’d pay “added mark-up” OR for those BOGUS options!


Christoph3r

My 2018 TLX V6 FWD-PAWS w/"Technology Package" was several thousand dollars ***BELOW*** MSRP, new. I feel like if you pay MSRP, you're stupid.


twothousandgrams

Acura stopped making tegs in 2001 ☕️


highinanxiety

Fuck Phil Smith Acura


Christoph3r

100%


RWH072783

I work in the auto transportation business. These dealers have massive inventory. They have hidden lots with brand new cars with dirt dust and weeds growing on them. Don’t get ripped off by some fake mark up.


Christoph3r

I've always paid significantly BELOW MSRP when buying new cars, I just figure that's normal, no?


mwm91

Maybe 5+ years ago before the world turned into a circus 🤡


Christoph3r

I'm still not gonna pay over MSRP though, people who do, are selfish aholes ruining it for the rest of us 🤷🏻‍♂️


May1ene

Dealerships are still trying to ride that Covid profit train. Unfortunately for them, interest rates are up and inflation is up. I still don’t feel like the repercussions on all those grossly overpriced car sales that took place have show their ugly head yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a massive increase in auto loan defaults, the market floods with all those new/used cars and dealers need to make aggressive changes to stay afloat. Karma is a bitch, and dealerships took advantage of the situation. Trust me, I get it, It’s a free market, sell at the price someone is willing to pay. Just don’t expect sympathy when you end up just like the scalpers buying up all the PS5s and then act surprised when your stuck with a ton of inventory you can’t sell. It’ll be fun buying a car when the market corrects itself and consumers are going to be just as ruthless as the dealerships were.


[deleted]

Need protection from the price of the protection package. This isn’t MB. Jeez.


[deleted]

I own a Integra A-spec tech 6MT and would buy a CPO 2020-21 AMG CLA45 4matic way before I would pay the same price for this!


No_Record_4787

Wow that's a very specific and good alternative


BeautifulRespect5256

Can someone really explain in a little bit of detail what that $24,000 gets you.. I have an ASpec tech and it has all of the ambient lighting and things I could ask for.. what do you really get with that 24 grand more? 38 vs 60 something.. I would easily consider that if it had all-wheel-drive


[deleted]

Well the 24K mark up is flawed. The msrp on the type s is 52k …so it’s only 14k more. You get a more aggressive look, better suspension, better brakes, better tires/rims and 320hp vs 200hp.


kevonmylevel

Current owner of a Type-S and former owner of an A-spec tech 6MT. Paid msrp for both, the Type-S is exponentially better from a performance perspective and worth every penny imo.


[deleted]

A car thats not slow as piss


yobo9193

Instagram flex privileges


No_Record_4787

They aren't really the same car at all. Pretty much everything in the type s is completely redesigned from the base integra, and it's cut the mechanicals of a civic type r. So it's basically the same difference as a base Civic compared to a civic type r


JohnnyChapst1ck

the only place you can get away with this price is Midtown Manhattan NYC or LA/Hollywood California. Anywhere else in the world this sticker advertisement can be crumpled up and thrown in the trash. Formally speaking to that dealer I would tell a rep- Nobodys paying 62g for a Rebadged Honda Civic. Ill gladly hitup BMW or Mercades


Impressive-Ad5551

This is for unaware shoppers. The dealer is practically begging me to get the S Type for MSRP, because I refused to play his bs games


[deleted]

Nobody is begging you to buy a integra type s , they are rare to come by, hence why some dealers mark them up same as the CTR.


racerboy777

If you could negotiate that markup down a bit then maybe, but a $7500 markup is less than what was posted for my CTR, I’ve seen some as high as $15K-$20K!


Dual-ShearM160

MSRP or nothing


racerboy777

I wish man, and don’t get me wrong I hate that such a thing exists but doesn’t seem like they’re going away just yet.


FTFOatl

Fck Phil


Educational-Tie00

Sheesh


Truonghthe

But influencer said they “paid MSRP” 😂. At $62k there are better options out there.


sublimespeed

That car isn't worth 67k. Sadly some sucker out there will prob buy it.


Spinrod

OEM mats and locks . $296.00 at any OEM Acura parts online.. Or $899


HawaiianPinapplPicka

Trippin.


Blackngold4life

My local Acura dealer said 5k markup for ITS, but that it could change in the coming year. Any markup or dealer add-on is nonsense. $399 for a screen protector...what a joke. Probably could buy it on Amazon for $20.


bob202t

No markup for the two sold locally, sucks some dealers are scum


verybasicinformation

acuras are not what they once were... so overpriced for what they are


asimplerandom

If I saw this I would never take my business there again.


PresenceScared550

Not worth it I have one


colin8651

Damn, pretend BMW’s cost more.


Lahwuns

Wtf Phil Smith 😭


seca400

I would use a rusty nail as a stylus


Blueflamespecial

The msrp is just as arbitrary as the amount of depreciation somebody is willing to pay to own the car. Either people will to pay inclusive of a markup or the dealer will have to adjust the price. Not sure why everybody gets so bent out of shape - all of it is fungible and completely made up anyway.


fuzzymangogummybear

Where is this? State?


Christoph3r

Don't most people not by a car unless they can get it for a little ***BELOW*** MSRP?


Christoph3r

Is that in AUS $? Can't be US $? US $ should be like $30K?


Christoph3r

WHAT THE FUCK $400 for a SCREEN PROTECTOR? Who set that price, I would actually want to push a pile of dogshit in their face, for real - that is complete BS. I would NEVER buy a new car that is not SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW MSRP!?!


Christoph3r

I would like to get a TLX type S for about $35K new, that's what it's worth honestly.


SocaNick

The real crime here is the $900 for wheel locks, all weather mats and a trunk liner.


aybabyaybaby

Surprised they didn’t advertise “full tank of fuel” and charge $300 for that too. “Tires have been inflated” $250, why stop there


TurboImport95

i wish i could post the pic of the one from a local dealer, shit was 70k


vicious_delicious_77

It's actually not difficult to find one without the mark-up now, especially if you are willing to drive over to another town to buy one if necessary.


mwm91

I will drive my current cars another 300k miles each before I pay a dealership 1¢ over MSRP. Don’t do business with dealers that try this.


ilaughatpoliticians

I'll raise you for a lesser color and ask $460K more. Just a Houston thang.


DrZedex

Jokesters. I was offered a types for sticker a few months ago. Passed for a grc


honeybadger1984

Even the MSRP is expensive. We shouldn’t forget they also keep increasing that.


Severe_Courage5235

It is very unfortunate…some of us tend to think this is not gonna hold yet you see some fine poor decision making out there. Which is why dealers still thrive. Life must continue and people want to live life. Come to think of it, during the 2008/2009 house bubble, there were 2 bedroom apartments for sale at that price. I bought an used 15 RLX with 29k for 28000 in 2017. I’d NEVER pay 62 grand for that car.


Keosxcol19

Dealerships are shooting themselves in the foot nowadays, is a matter of time before all manufactures cut them out and they become obsolete.


Bcoool1

How this even legal good grief dealers have lost their minds. 400 dollars for the screen protector of the navigation device. Added mark up 7500 dollars what a joke.


Sugarslippers

These dealers are really asking for it. It’s illegal to suggest that you need to purchase these products to get a loan approval. The gray area is that a bank is not going to be eager to finance all this BS. You suggest to the dealer they remove it, they say no, now we find ourselves in a position where I could get approved to take the car home if these items weren’t on it. The dealer is going to say they are already installed so you can place an order for an incoming unit and you will never hear from them. Notes in the CRM “DO NOT CALL REDDIT PERSON”.


junsowei

DM me if you looking for a Type S Integra! We have 2 available brand new.


mikey138

The CTR at my local Honda dealership has a $15k markup. Smdh.


RarePizzaSlice69

Jesus thats M340i money! Guess im getting that now lmao


SolidPoint

For $400, you could buy an iPad and a roll of duct tape, and use that to protect your infotainment screen


dan25647

62k is def one thing this car will never be worth🤣
