Review of Acura of Memphis

We went there looking for a new RDX. EVERY single...

We went there looking for a new RDX. EVERY single one on the lot had thousands of dollars of dealer accessories added to it - roof rails, running boards, mud guards, etc. We told the salesperson we didn't want any of those things. He told us they add the accessories to every car and it is against their policy to sell a car right off the truck without the accessories, and that the manager wouldn't let him sell a car without the accessories even if he wanted to. The accessories added about four thousand dollars to the price of the car.

With Acuras, there aren't that many model and option configurations, and it's easy to find the same car at other dealers. I'm sure Little Rock or Nashville will gladly sell you the same car without the add-ons.

So when shopping, keep in mind that they price on their web site does not include thousands of dollars of high-priced accessories that you probably don't need, but add a lot of profit to the dealer.

The salesperson was great, but I'm just not going to spend money on a bunch of added crap I don't need.
