Acura pricing... by sbcooke

I was getting some service done on my MDX this weekend and while browsing in the showroom I saw one of the salesmen surfing Edmunds. I asked him what he used it for. He said he had a customer coming in and he was getting ready for the numbers they were going to throw at him. He said that most people come in and quote Edmunds. Funny, he said that customers don't realize it, but they can get almost 20% more than Edmunds list's it for. So he said that he usually fights down to that number and let's them think they are getting the best deal. I typically use carsdirect for pricing, I wonder how the two sites compare.
 
Interesting enough he doesn't read the forums on the vehicles he sells, hasn't even looked at it, I tried to point him to that section as well.
 
He didn't give me any warm and fuzzy feeling about the sales process, but did give me a look into the strategies that go into these negotiations ahead of time. I figure any future car I buy will be over the internet/phone to the best price, then I will go in and test drive. One on one in the showroom we consumers are at a disadvanatage.

You mean they can save 20% off what the TMV price is? Or are you talking about a trade-in?
 
TMV reflects what buyers in your area are currently paying for a car. So it's like an average (with some other factors thrown into the mix).
 
A savvy shopper can beat TMV. More here.

I purchased a new MDX Touring with Navigation and RES plus accessories (installed) tow package, satin Chrome sidesteps, Wood trim panel, Wood steering wheel, Cargo cover, All season Mats, Rear spoiler, Side Moulding, Moonroof visor, and fender flares for 43,933 plus tax and reg. I think I could have done better but the dealers were just not ready to budge. did I get a good deal?

He meant 20% more off the price. So Edmunds TMV was high in his book.

Just got a tour/nav pearl white at 2500 off MSRP. Could have gotten 3000 off if it was any other color. Dealer are more willing to negotiate now compared to 6 months ago...

Thanks Sbcooke. Lots of people beat TMV. Maybe not so many with the MDX though.
