Oh Wise LJ Peeps, I Have a Question…

Does anyone have experience with CarsDirect.com?

As I've hinted, I'm going to drop a dime on a new Acura TSX (6 spd w/ navi). They seem to have a really great rate (not far above dealer invoice, and well below MSRP), but I've not used them, so I don't quite know how it all works.

I've already test-driven the car, so really, the purchase shouldn't be any different than buying a $30k book from Amazon. However, *shouldn't* is often different than *isn't*.

Does the car come FedEx Air or UPS Ground? ;-)

In a way, I am similar, although I have a much better relationship with my mechanic than I want to have with a dealer. If there is a manufacturing defect, it's all taken care of via the warranty, so having a relationship with a dealer doesn't really matter. A car is just a commodity purchase to me.

The real relationship is with my mechanic/dyno guy/tuner, and I *always* make sure he's doing well. You don't fuck with someone who is going to change your drive-by-wire system to a traditional throttle.

Wouldn't that depend on how hot and willing he is?

I'd wait until *after* it was finished ;-)
