I've had many dealings with dealers for many reasons, even consulting for a few. There is no way they made a mistake putting the $3000 as $300 and not noticed it......NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Run fast from that dealer. You should be out the door price of $48,456.60

And I get many compliments on the red interior. Good luck.

My 14 RX is that same color which back then they called it Stargazer. I prefer it over solid black. It looks like a million bucks when clean. If you keep your paint polished I've found a product from Adam's Polishes called H20 Guard and Gloss. It comes in a spray bottle and you spray it onto the wet car before you dry it off. It makes the paint pop like I've never seen.

Two weeks ago, I bought a 2017 GS F- Sport with a sticker of $59,600 for $54,000. I agree that the GS model is not moving quickly so believe that dealers are motivated to move the remaining '17's without having to wait until December to get a more attractive deal. Looking back, I know that I scored a fair deal but after reading some posts on this forum, I could have saved another $1,000 or so. Be aggressive and be willing to walk away if you don't get your price. You're likely to be pleasantly surprised.

Is $54,000 the out-the-door price or the sale price of the vehicle before taxes/license/fees?

Never thought this will happen to me. This Acura RL was my trusty daily driver. 139K miles of trouble free transportation and still drives like new. Full service record from the Acura Dealer. I seriously planned to keep her for as long as economically feasible. All of this ended yesterday when an incoming driver tried to make a left turn at an intersection and failed to yield. I had the green light and nearly T-boned his Subaru at 50mph. The important thing is no one got hurt. Be careful out there and always practice defensive driving. The RL is a very safe vehicle, I walked away completely unscratched. I was travelling at 45mph. Get yourself a dashcam, it'll pay for itself for events like this.

This messed up all of my plans of waiting till December to buy the GS350. On the bright side, I'll get to drive the new GS350 two month sooner? LOL

i read these pricing posts and amazed people post info about their deals when trades are involved.
the trade totally effects the numbers of the net of the deal
so my point,
when your asking a question like original poster take some of the information as a grain of salt when reading about deals 13 k or more over list

The 54k is inclusive of license fees but excludes sales tax. The deal was stand alone in that there was no trade involved.
