Vandergriff Arlington (Michael) and Hiley are at this time the best ones that will negotiate with you. Park Place Plano, Goodson, Grubbs and the remaining all feel these cars are high value and sell themselves...
i know this post is from the beginning of this year, but do you know if that was for the '25 or '26 model? I just spoke to Acura SF yesterday and the guy was trying to tell me they got a $5k ADM. I was in the market for an ITS back in 2024 (didn't get one) and am back in the market again. I remember SF being a little difficult and my phone call yesterday felt like the same old song.
It was a 2026 in double apex blue. I want to say they were willing to go as low as 3500 off. But I felt it was still not a great enough deal.
Damn these NorCal dealers.
I had a completely different experience with SF. On the phone, “Ryan” told me they added $5,000 to the car. I told him ADMs were a nonstarter for me and he proceeds to tell me how it’s a rare car and everyone’s adding markups. Anyway, I ended up going in to check out the car since the location is super close to me and not a single person acknowledged me while I was in there. I was in there for maybe 15 min? I took a pic of their asking price on one of the ITS’s in the showroom. F that.

I ended up picking up my ITS from Niello Acura yesterday in Roseville, CA. It was worth the 2 hour drive to get the car at MSRP with no bullshit added. Bashir (goes by Bash) was super easy to work with. I was able to handle so much over phone/email and was able to put a deposit down earlier in the week. I spent 90 min or so at the dealership.
I literally said “what the fuck?” Out loud in the show room. The entire label is laughable. $10k “optional” add-on along with another $5k add on. All the other add-ons are ridiculous. $400 for a glorified screen protector? $2k for the mats, trunk tray and wheel locks? Those are less than $500 standard; and even that is over priced.I like that the 10k market adjustment is an optional dealer add on
Gotta wonder how these people stay in business, honestly. That's 24k more than I paid for my car, and mine actually came with accessories like the carbon crap, all weather liners, rim and tire protection, Alcantara wheel, wheel locks (first thing I removed), and mudguards
I've removed mine as part of the dealer add on too. Not sure about Victor but for me, a dealer over torqued it once on my other vehicle and I broke 3 keys before forcing the dealer to fix their mess. Normal normal nuts should be way stronger than the key fingers.
Reasons to have wheel locks:
