Acura Integra Type S | how much I paid

[@HLPOLYWI]

Respect for being transparent and congrats on the Type S!

[@moonrockschopshop]

Much appreciated

[@adamm.1367]

@@moonrockschopshop Yes, absolute respect for sharing. People often forget that there are soooo many variables affecting cost when buying a vehicle -- dealer fees, taxes, interest rates, buyers credit score, cash equity, etc all gonna be different for everyone. I picked up an ITS last month and man, what a pain car buying has become. Dealer in Delray tried to hit me with 15K adm + 4200 in add-ins.... O.O looool. Had to fight tooth and nail to get to MSRP and 1K add-ins (don't be afraid to just say NO or WALK! they're more scared to lose that sale). Glad you got MSRP. Enjoy the ride...she's a beast ✌

Some people don't understand, sometimes you got to pull the trigger! sometimes life is short... and tomorrow is not guaranteed.... let the man live! he secured an Integra TYPE S in today's market and against the STEALERSHIPS mentality. Thank you for being transparent on this car!

[@moonrockschopshop]

Absolutely as long as you capable make a decision and move on. Don’t worry about the haters

[@cybernutjr2]

Congrats bro. Bought me a 2023 Acura TLX Type S in January..My credit in the 830s on all 3 credit bureau and FICO scores as well and I wasn't able to get any interest less than 5.3% from my credit union. I put down 10k and my payment is still almost $900. People wanna complain about my payment. But Yet I can afford it along with my mortgage and my wife car payment comfortably as well. 😂

[@moonrockschopshop]

Awesome , TLX-S was my first choice. I think ppl are just shocked at price, maybe even a little jealous they can’t do it 😂

[@cybernutjr2]

@@moonrockschopshop I test drove the Integra Type S as well and loved it. But I already have a manual 2018 Subaru STI that's paid off and wanted the TLX Type S as my AWD daily driver since I live in New England. I bought my Wife a 2022 Lexus RX350 f-sport back in 2022 mid size SUV and I was able to get 3.5% interest on that. My payment for hers is $700. Goes to show how much interest rates have gone up in the pass 2 yrs, even with my perfect credit. Whats mind boggling for me is some of the comments here. Where a grown man is trying to tell another grown man how he should have spent his money or how he should have bought a BMW or Audi instead. Sh!t laughable. Guarantee these are the so call grown men that live in their mom's basement and all they have that is worth any value are their little cars.

[@moonrockschopshop]

@@cybernutjr2 😂 yea most of those ppl probably never drove any cool cars, the bmw and Audi comments are crazy cuz any comparable BMW or Audi is like 20k more with like a 5 year shelf like 😂. I’d never buy a performance BMW to keep, those things look cool but that’s about it. The Hondas are much more balanced and will last 3 to 4 times as long as the BMW/Audi. Not to mention depreciation.

[@davidvencill5937]

Congratulations I just bought a tlx aspec And I absolutely love it. My interest rate is a little bit higher than yours but I put down 15,000 including trade-in for 60 months. It came out to 707 a month but it has been a great 50th birthday present for me and my wife.

[@moonrockschopshop]

Congrats I almost got that one myself

[@salimrandall]

In 1997 Integra Type R cost $25,000. Inflation calculated that’s $49,000 in 2024 money. This has always been an expensive car. I don’t understand why everyone is so surprised.

[@moonrockschopshop]

Great observation, 100 percent true on the inflation issue

[@Marbind]

I paid 57.5 OTD for mine back in august. Tiger Eye - Ebony A CTR for 7k less would be a better deal but I never was able to find one for less than the ITS back then. Searched over all east coast for over a year without any luck. The integra took me one week.

[@moonrockschopshop]

I got pretty much all the accessories besides the bronze wheels, plus dealer upgrades like wheel and tire protection and a few other things (by my choice) Yea the CTR was my original choice but now that I have the ITS suits me better

[@neekhongbiet]

Congrats on ur car man, i almost pulled the trigger at $57,500 out the door. I'm currently next on the list for a boost blue type r at msrp. My honest opinion would have been to get the accessories later on, especially since u have a cash side job. Those accessories could have been some video content. The 4k in savings could have saved u on ur monthly payments, but i fully understand. Enjoy the ride and thanks for keeping it real!

[@moonrockschopshop]

Thanks buddy, and get the CTR if you can get it for MSRP that’s a win

Much-love and respect for your honesty. Congrats for get-n wha'cha want and didn't settle for nothing less than the best! 🎉🎊🍾 The last part is KEY, "If you set your mind to it you can do it!" From a personal experience that is soooo true. When I was 22yoa which is almost 30 years ago, I posted pic of a Daytona Violet/purple E-36/BMW M-3, I brought that dream to a reality. It also helped that I played 🏈 back in the day! 😅Great words of encouragement and damn I need to open up some businesses. 👏🏿

Thank you sir, much love. And yes I recommend opening a business and putting efforts in there, your own thing is always worth more that someone else’s

[@mikemayers8672]

You can buy these below MSRP now MarchApril 2024 Might even get 7-10 percent off I went into the dealer they automatically offered me $500 off msrp They have too many sitting. Manual trans never sells well in US There are a few diehards that will want manual only but those numbers are less and less every year. Ironically the manual gear box makes this car special its butter smooth.

Congratulations on your new car. I leased me a 2023 BMW x3m40i Back in December of 2022 build to order to my likings, The vehicle was 67k w. options and a few BMW care options. My credit score the time was 815 with zero down with the interest rate of 5.2% which is pretty low due to the new interest rates for today. I am leasing it for 36 months 15K miles per year. My monthly payments with high limits insurance a grand total of 1390 get what you want and be happy.. if you can afford the notes, without it breaking the bank go for it. enjoy your car. Thanks for being straightforward.

[@Mx5pro]

He’s spot on about the price 60k after taxes and he only put down 8k plus anytime you finance through a luxury brand it’s always gonna be around 6-9% interest it’s a win imo he paid no dealer mark up

Damn, I just got my apex blue for 58 out the door with 3 accessories, splash guards, door visors, locking lug nuts. I put 17 down, financed 41 at 5% from my credit union with 620 credit, I think you paid too much in interest. But meh, if you like it... We put 17k down so our payments would be lower. We went 60 months just under 800 a month, car insurance was 500 extra a month, that part pissed me off, but we got a deal on the car.

[@moonrockschopshop]

Congrats, ur gunna love it. If you watch the video again, I mention why my interest is higher. If you want some advice on insurance, pay it up front instead of monthly, it’ll be way less

[@mattpipke5716]

@@moonrockschopshop My wife and I followed your entire journey. I started wanting this car last March when I heard it was coming and saw the one they had wrapped in car Camo, then on May 11th when they went live looking for deposits for the first 200 cars, I almost got on the list but did the math and found out, I need a huge down payment to afford this car, so I made a plan and started saving. Along the way I found you, watched you go to the various FL dealers and saw how that all played out, then I finally had 17k in cash saved up so I went for it, actually started with a liquid carbon, I was going to buy it but the car had 144 miles on it and that didn't sit well with mem, so I backed out, We got our own financing through our credit union, they had quoted us 9% but once they ran everything came back at us with 5,75% and we discovered our 620 credit was actually 740, lol, nice surprise. The dealers always make money on the finance so we knew the dealer would likely add a few points to it, I was prepared to ask for the "buy sheets" and that would show me exactly what the lender offered before the dealer added their cut but turns out I didn't need to go that route because our bank was willing to lend us the money. I enjoyed your journey almost as much as my own. So we got splash guards, door visors and locking lug nuts as part of the deal, and I ordered on the side outside of the deal, back seat protectors, a trunk tray and valve stem caps, that I am going to pay $300 for in cash on Friday when I go to take delivery of the car. I haven't picked up the car yet and I have an appointment for Tint next Monday and then I am going back for paint prep two weeks later when I will then apply ceramic coating myself to the car. Some of the most rewarding car buying fun I have ever had. Enjoy your ride man. Too bad we are so far apart, Id come hang and compare the cars and make a video with you.

@@mattpipke5716 awesome journey bro, I know there’s more to come. Where you located ?

Yeah that's way too much money, especially for 8k down but man... It is a nice car. Not to mention you stated you havent bought something for yourself at 33 years old, which I personally understand even though I am a few years younger. So I can't be too mad, I'll just be jealous instead lol

New GT mustang is cheaper, bigger, quicker, and top end faster. But I do love the type S and type R vehicles just can’t pay those prices for them.

[@moonrockschopshop]

I’ll pay 100k for a Honda before I buy a mustang 😂

[@dwightwhitejr1885]

Love the car, and I know this is an unpopular opinion, but......... Paying almost $1k a month with about $320 of that going towards interest (free money to the bank) is wild. It'll cost you an extra $10-11k if paid over the life of the loan. You're giving away your number one wealth building tool which is your 'hard earned' income. #daveramsey

[@moonrockschopshop]

I don’t agree with Ramsey for the record. But I’m still able to invest and build, if you’re a person that likes to relax and not work hard I get it, but I’m the opposite, so spending a bit on something that makes me happy; what is money really for?
