#3314 of 7002 Lease info by scott31 May 24, 2006 (11:01 am)
I posted this on the MDX leasing forum, but didn't get a response.   I'm not sure I'm using the right term, but does AHFC offer balloon note financing? It's like a lease, but the car is in your name and there is no Acq fee.    I did this on my current Mazda 6 and couldn't be happier. If they do offer it, do you know the resd and % rates?   Also, what are the current lease rates (MF & Res) on the MDX Premium 3 yr lease 10k miles per year?   Thanks!

Replying to: scott31 (May 24, 2006 11:01 am) I'm sure Honda Financial offers balloon notes.. I know they do on Hondas... they call it the Leadership Purchase Program...   Of course, no idea what the rates would be...
#3317 of 7002 Info on trade-ins w/MDX by steve777 May 24, 2006 (1:47 pm)
Have any of you done a trade-in with your MDX purchase?. I'm comfortable negotiating my best price vs. invoice, but then what should I expect to get for my 1999 Jeep relative to the wholesale Kelly Blue Book value?   Any insights or experiences. I really dont want the hassle of selling it privately Replies to this message: larryallen707 (May 24, 2006 3:12 pm)

Replying to: steve777 (May 24, 2006 1:47 pm) Trade in usually means wholesale!? You can generally get a few more bucks selling on your own. I would say a 10-15% spread in real life. I have found it difficult to sell cars for KBB Private Party value; seems higher than reality.
#3319 of 7002 Dear Car Salesman and PC do not get!... by mevande May 24, 2006 (9:42 pm)
Replying to: joshslocum (May 24, 2006 10:11 am) I think you should be proud of your profession, however the culture of your industry is 'haggling' and for every honest salesperson, there are a few who try to rip consumers off (ie, charging over list for a hot/new car). PC's that we use do not have high margins. They typical PC is sold for approx. 5%-8% over cost and that fact that you shared they (PC's) are sold for 200% profit makes you look un-informed. Everyone deserves a job that can provide for their family. If the job you have does not, bail out and find something that does (I know... easier said than done)
#3320 of 7002 Below cost in a buyer market by mevande May 24, 2006 (9:52 pm)
As shared, Every MDX can be had for below invoice. The relationship is not with the sales rep after the sale, but with the service department. When new models come out, there is no regrets at selling at list or above! I think 2200 below invoice is the best real deal I have seen on this forum. Any better deals out there?

#3322 of 7002 Beware of Liars AT Pleasantan Acura Dealers by sanjoo May 25, 2006 (6:43 pm)
Replying to: jswhitaker (Apr 30, 2006 3:27 pm) Based on JS post ON PLeasantan ACURA experience, I had contacted the Plesantan ACURA with a high hope of doing a business with a credibility company. I had made it clear that I am looking for a Touring model w/ navigation and rear entertainment system. Can they match on the same price of $38,092? Our negotiation went on for 7 calls(n a span of 2and half hours) and everything confirmed by their sales person contacting with his manager for ACURA TOURING MODEL W/RES DVD AND NAVIGATION FOR $38,092. The sales person assured and confirmed the price 5 times on my requirement OVER MODLEL NO AND RES DVD AND NAVIGATION and asked me to come over to buy at that price. I had requested to talk to the manager for confirmation on price , but the salesperson excused, that he is not present at this moment.Everything aggreed on phone and asked to come over to Pleasantan driving 40 miles.    When we reached there the sales person forwarded me to another sales person with a note that she is more experienced in this handling. We had suspected right away in his fishy motive of passing the responsibility to others, so that they can easily refuse on phone talk.   Then started the most horrific moments of refusing on pricing and THE Actual sales person never showed up to face us. Start from their manager to General manager..every single one came one after another and started to dodge their own fishy way to prove us wrong. It was most horrible experience ever dealing with a dealership OF LUXURY CARS.THE WORST PART WAS ALL THESE MANAGERS AND GENERAL MANAGER ACCEPTED THAT THEY WERE PART OF THIS DEAL AS A SILENT LISTENER WHILE I WAS CONFIRMING THIS DEAL ON PHONE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY NONE OF THIS GENTLEMAN TRIED TO CORRECT THEIR SALESMAN IN PRICING. THEY REFUSED TO SALE THE ACURA ON THE PRICE THE SALES PERSON AGREED ON AND ASKED ME TO COME OVER TO PICK UP. IT WAS A HEIGHT OF SHAMELESS BEHAVIOR BY THESE MANAGER TO PROVE ME WRONG ON PRICING. HOW MUCH A DEALERSHIP CAN GO DOWN IN THEIR CREDIBILITY, WE HAVE SEEN THAT. THEY JUST WENT ON ..AND ON WITH ONE BY ONE BIG LIES TO ANOTHER TO PROVE ME WRONG ON PRICING AND GIVE ANOTHER $1000.00 MORE. We finally deided instead of wasting time with these liars better save our valuable time with others.   Next Day morning I called to AUTOWEST ACURA, spend a few minutes on my model no for ACURA TOURING MODEL W/RES DVD AND NAVIGATION and the other features.. agreed on 38,559 PRICE. Went there had a wonderful customer service by sales man Woody with a great humor, entertainer and friendly approach. Half an hour took us for the MDX color we wanted to and finished the deal by afternoon. This is how a ACURA MDX owner expect to be treated by a dealership with dignity.   LESSON LEARNED- NEVER CONFIRM ANY AUTODEAL ON PHONE,AND ALWAYS CONFIRMED YOUR confirmmed PRICE WITH EMAIL AS A PROOF TO REVEAL THESE CHEAP LIARS MOTIVE OF DEALERS LIKE PLEASANTAN Acura.

Replying to: sanjoo (May 25, 2006 6:43 pm) What sanjoo said is certainly a risk of buying on the phone; the old bait and switch or some close kin. However, when you buy on phone just ask for VIN # of the car and always verify mileage so they don't give you a loaner car. If you aren't comfortable with just the VIN then have them email or fax you the deal in writing. That's what I did with Niello. I gave them my Visa #, they installed dealer options and I picked it up that night. No problems. Good luck to all of you.
