Introducing the 2024 Acura Integra Type S! On Sale in June

[RUNN1N]

Did you
Did you buy an Aspec?

Oh no--I'm not paying over MSRP for a Type-R, but I do have an A-Spec + Tech Integra.

Did you get yours from Columbia?
Are you upgrading to the TypeS?

I did buy with Columbia, Greg was my salesman, if I'm not mistaken. I'm planning to get the Type-S, barring any bombshells between now/release and providing I can get a preferred color combination. What about you?

Solid guy, no pressure, no markup dealership, and he's completely up-front as to what he knows and what he doesn't--he'll share his opinion, but only if you ask and he's clear when it's just a hunch.

I felt the same way. Have been in contact with them about a Type S?

Yeah I'll buy with them again if I can--I've never asked how big of a list they have, but I remember him saying last year that they're a very high-volume dealership, so I imagine they're expecting to sell quite a few.

I am supposedly #2 on their list. Hopefully they will have more info here soon. He said they shouldn’t have any problem getting me one.

Nice! Now I'm curious how many they're expecting to get... I suspect they know as Acura Columbus insists they know they're getting 9 Type-S' this year, but Acura Columbus seems more like a "tell you what we think you'd like to hear"-type operation.

My dealer called me this AM. Rep expects online ordering and deposit placement and will notify me when that process starts. He says initial allocation of 4 units through 2023 separate from the order system, but that more will be shipped prior to the end of the year if they are specifically ordered by a customer. They are getting a demo unit next month which he offered to sell me after 30 days if it is in my preferred color combination.

I wonder if it's a "look at it demo", a "look/sit in it demo", or a "drive it demo". I imagine it's one of the first two. Seems like test drives are hard to come by for a lot of models lately.

I got mine from there as well. Worked with Brian who was great.


@jchall30 I'm supposedly #1

I wouldn't buy a demo performance car unless it was significantly reduced. I'm sure everyone at the dealer will take turns abusing it. Worst part is those sales guys redlining it going to lunch while the engine is cold.

Probably only slightly better than buying a former rental car--I wouldn't do it either.

This is the exact same info i have heard as well.
