I was undecided between The Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring and the Integra with tech package. If I was going to buy The Honda I wanted boost blue and with the Integra I was undecided between 3 colors: blue, red, or black.
I went to The Honda dealer in Los Angeles because the person that I talked to [Natalie] said that they had a Sport Touring that only had a few add ons that totaled $950 dollars. So I went to see the car and it was 40k. Not 32k + the $950 add ons. They wasted my time. I arrived at 3:30pm and by 4:30pm I still had not seen the numbers. Once they finally showed me it was over $700 for a Civic!! I was in shock. I had already seen numbers at Acura in Torrance and Tustin. I told the guys at Honda that I could find a better deal at Acura. They didn't believe me and even made fun of me. lol. They said no dealers are selling at MSRP. The Honda manager came out and said if Acura didn't have any mark ups or add ons he would buy one himself. I told him I would show him and we both walked away from each other at the same time.
Acura was so different. I was looking at stock online at Car Gurus. I went to Acura Torrance first and the estimate was $575 in total including tax. I went to Acura in Tustin and I asked for numbers and they said $580. I thought ok, the numbers are very similar. Now I had to make a decision on color. Torrance only had white and Tustin had red. I kept checking CarGurus to see if there was new stock and yesterday a black Integra had just arrived at Acura Torrance. I asked the sales guy [Manny] if it really was in stock and he said yes! I test drove the car and saw the numbers again. After they checked my credit score the numbers were a bit lower compared to the estimate, so I ended up leasing an Acura Integra with tech package for $550 with only the drive offs! The car only had 3 miles when I test drove it. Now it has 75! I have really enjoyed driving the car. I don't want to drive it to avoid all the miles. Don't want to wear it out. haha. It's the first time I have a new car.

I'm thinking of buying the car at the end of the lease, or that's what I say now. haha
