that may be the price it says on the honda website, but try going to a dealership and get one for less the $27,000 ill give u props if u can. the ones in the local dealership are $31,000 this guy i know drove 3 hours just to get to a dealership that was down to $28,000. and yes im speaking american dollars. i talked to another guy that paid $29,000 for his. and like i said all the ones in the dealership say $31,000 on the stickers.

and IF u could get one for msrp and not the dealer markup, that puts it in the same price range as the wrx, which is still faster. plus there is NO dealer markup on subarus, they HAVE to sell for msrp.

where the hell you shop'n???? HOLLYWOOD or something?? GEEZE THAT'S A RIP!!! I've been to 3 different Acura Dealers in two different states even, look'n at RSX Type-S's...2 in Phoenix. AZ and 1 in Las Vegas, NV and test drove one in phoenix... and the most expensive one I found was $25,500 cuz they put on the full OEM body kit and some aftermarket racing hart rims and some other extra options... Maybe if yer on the East Coast the dealers are fuck'n you guys over cuz i've never bothered to look at the prices on that end, but here on the West Coast, they're sell'n at MSRP, NO DEALER MARKUP, and yes, that's on the sticker.. I mean, shit, they weren't even mark'n up the S2000's that much, and they're sell'n like mad crazy.. the dealer markup on those is about $6k.. I've hit the official website of about 8 other acura dealers in cali and utah also, and they list their inventory and the sticker price, and NONE of those were over $24,000... mind you that's not include'n TT&L, but neither is the WRX that you seem to be so fond of.. Sorry to hear yer buddy got ass raped on an RSX.. that really sucks...

Acura Mission Viejo Cali is selling the RSX Type S for under 24K. They also have a beefed up version for 30K, but it includes alot of extras.
If you're in Arkansas I really hope they get straightened out for price gouging.
So if you think about it you should do one of two things. Contact your Better Business Bureau or buy from out of state like the dealers are most definitely doing. Cali's got great prices.:bandit:

honda is definately ripping us off around here. when the s2000 came out they were all about $10k above sticker but when i traded my 93 civic i only got $1200 for good condition with a few aftermarket parts. 99 civic si's are just now down to around $18000 here. so u pay more than u should to get one, then get no trade in value when youre done with it.

oh and my "buddy" who got screwed on the rsx, he threw a rod THROUGH the block, warranty didnt cover it cuz he was racing, he didnt have any insurance. so now he pays $450 a month for a lawn decoration!

Ya I've heard of a few people doin that with the Type-S's cuz the Type-S has no Rev Limiter and people would be cruize'n on the freeway in 6th and some little 89 CRX fly's by them so they downshift and punch it and accidentally downshift into 1st or something and POOF no more engine cuz no rev limiter.. damn that sucks.. When I went and testdrove the Type-S the first thing the salesmen told me BE CAREFUL DOWNSHIFTING, there's no rev limiter on the Type-S's... hehehe.. my "buddy" has a 99 Si, and he let his insurance lapse on it for a week, and in that week, it got stolen, they found it 2 weeks later, completely trashed and stripped of everything, even the honda emblems... so now he's pay'n $380 a month for the same thing.. a lawn ornament.. cuz he had no insurance to pay for it... man, glad I'm not them...

Honda doesn't rip you off. It's the dealership that rips you off. Honda get's none of those mark up money. Honda sold each S2000 at a loss to dealership. They were given to dealerships at a price of 29K. Some people bought their 2000 models for 41K. Which means a 12K profit for dealership.

hmmm... actually I don't doubt it... if he pushed his turbo to about 20psi, you'd be look'n at a 500+hp RSX... depending on what kinda turbo he's got mind you.. damn that'd be fuck'n sweeeeeeeeeeeeet..

Do you think a Turbo Charged RSX could beat this 2003 Viper?
