If those sky-high “market adjustments” -- aka “dealer markups”
-- on hot new performance cars make your blood boil, know that balance
exists in the universe, and at the moment, that balance is taking the
form of brand-new 2017 Acura NSX models with chopped prices.
For example, here’s a $204,500 car offered for the low, low price of $189,500.
That doesn’t exactly bring the price down to used Accord territory, but
the price difference is more than enough to get you a few sets of tires
and a couple tanks of gas. Other NSXs have smaller discounts -- one or
two thousand bucks off the sticker. The rare car might even offer more
of a bargain; Jalopnik managed to find one for $44,800 off the sticker at a dealer in New Jersey. That's almost enough to get you the new car
and a classic NSX to park next to it!
Still, the majority of the cars we’ve seen listed online are selling for
MSRP, or even slightly above it. This lends credence to Acura’s claim
that the discounted units are, in at least some cases, spec cars ordered
early on to serve as display models to build hype at dealerships.
Indeed,
the NSX we linked, with its blue paint, light interior and black
wheels, looks a lot like the press car we’ve driven. Many NSX buyers are
going to want a car built to their specifications, and they might even
want to visit the factory in Ohio to watch their particular car rolling down the assembly line.
These custom cars won’t show in any listings online, though we assume
there won’t be any cash on the hood involved in their pricing.
