ADM’s are gone for the ITS. Pohanka Acura in VA has 10+ sitting on their lots at any given time. When I bought mine last November they had 22 sitting there. Many have been scooping ‘25 models for 2-5k under.

I really wanted a white ITS mainly because white is so easy to live with and it looks good on the ITS with the black accents and dark wheels (not all cars work with white). But the white car I showed up to buy had peeling paint on the bumper corners and I wasn't about to take delivery of that. Paint peeling is not good on any car, but really not cool when it's still new on the lot.I think with the blue, red, and TEP you should really see them in person before buying. I really wanted blue/orchid until I saw it in person and it just wasn't the blue for me. It's nice, but a bit too electric for my taste. Also maybe it was just the one I saw in person, but the orange peel on the blue was really bad and noticeable from 15ft away. That's not to say my red is tremendously better. The orange peel on it is still atrocious and the clear is stupid soft. I gently bumped a door on a piece of oak board in my garage while putting my kid in the car and it immediately took paint off the edge... I regret not ppfing the doors or at least door edges too now...
I appreciate your realism and sincerity.I really wanted a white ITS mainly because white is so easy to live with and it looks good on the ITS with the black accents and dark wheels (not all cars work with white).

So I switched out to blue, but as you say, it shows the orange peel much more and many other clearcoat defects stand out too. Once you see it you can't unsee it. I've even seen blue ITS cars in Youtube reviews and you can see the awful orange peel ripples and pitts in regular 1080p videos on a laptop screen. That's how bad it is. Not a color for nitpickers like me. I'll head back to white next time around.
I wish that were true. Piazza Acura in West Chester PA has $20k added - didn't seem to care if they sold it or not. The next nearest AWD is Charlotte NC, that I've found so far.ADM’s are gone for the ITS. Pohanka Acura in VA has 10+ sitting on their lots at any given time.

So about $49ish before TTL?Chicago area dealers have plenty of ITS stock sitting around. Vehicle prices can be pushed south of 50K. Just picked one up recently for 52.9 OTD.
I would assume these are '24's?Chicago area dealers have plenty of ITS stock sitting around. Vehicle prices can be pushed south of 50K. Just picked one up recently for 52.9 OTD.

Wow. Here in PA, I think that would only be a dream. These folks are nuts.2025
Do you mind me asking what sort of options were part of that 52.9 so we all get a better context as to what the price includes?Chicago area dealers have plenty of ITS stock sitting around. Vehicle prices can be pushed south of 50K. Just picked one up recently for 52.9 OTD.
I should have clarified or used better words, factory options for me = accessories. For me here in west coast Canada, the dealers around like to throw on extra factory accessories and other things like ceramic coating etc to jack up the price. I felt pretty lucky only having to pay 2k extra for stuff i didn't care for. (talked my way out of 2k worth).There aren't really any factory options for the ITS. If you mean dealer add-ons....it had dealer installed full tints and wheel locks. Apex Blue.
I used my own financing, didn't get any discounts like Military or Recent Grad. Just negotiated the price, which included everything like tax, title, license, plates, etc.
