A 2007 Acura what?

Seems like an OK deal; Edmunds show's a trade value of @$25.9K but I also think they are a little inflated... A new 2008 model is $33.7K

Thoughts?

Maybe I can do better on options? Installed costs shown.

a. Trailer Hitch ($483)
b. Fog Lights w/switch ($604)
c. Cargo Net – Bed ($107) - installation?!
d. Rear Splash Guards ($120) - Are these necessary?
e. In Bed Trunk Carpet ($87) - installation?!
f. Floor Carpets ($157) - installation?!

That's a total of $1,558.00 in options. What's a reasonable counter to these folks?

I really thought about going with Factory NAV but they quoted $1,008 for the rearview camera installed. I can get an amazing Pioneer system w/all this + bluetooth for $1,700 to $2,300 depending on which model. Compare that the RTL w/Nav they quoted for another $1,798 + camera = $2,806 + separate bluetooth kit estimated at $300 for a grand total of $3,100. Quite a premium and I think the Pioneer is better.

I do think that Boch Honda would save me $1,500 or so but it's not worth it to me to make two trips to Boston to try and find out.

Comments/Suggestions would be appreciated!
