Anyone has experience buying '07 MDX Sport w/ entertainment in Seattle area (4 dealers: Lynnwood, Seattle, Bellevue, Fife)? Any input is appreciated. Price is the BIG concern. Less important issue is the post-sale service also to consider.
Thanks in advance.

I recently (end of Dec) bought 07 MDX Sport(+Tech) with Entertainment from Acura of Bellevue. I would rate the buying experience as quite good - basically I was able to get the car I wanted without too much trouble. Got 2K off MSRP, but I spent only 30 minutes negotiating. I think if you can spend more time and talk to multiple dealers, you should be able to get a better deal, but I just didn't have the time to do that.
 
I have been enjoying the MDX experience so far, it was especially fun to drive it in the snow that we had recently. Now I need to wash it

I don't have a lot of experience in purchasing autos. Do they start to offer DEALS during tax return season? I have researched this car up and down, we test drove in November....We Want The MDX!!! We are going to apply our tax return for down payment in addition to trading in 1999 Toyota Landcruiser!!! Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks, justg0.
It's good to hear that they're willing to go as low as 2k off MSRP. Good decision getting the car in December - sales tax deduction is great. I hope they're still that motivated to sell and we can still claim the sales tax deduction for '07. What color exterior / interior is yours?

Nimbus Gray with Ebony interior - gets a little dark inside but we did not want Taupe with 2 kids rubbing their shoes and dirty hands all over the seats.
 
The salesman did tell me that the discount was valid only in Dec as they were trying to meet some numbers to be the # 1 volume dealer, but I just don't trust any sales people so who knows.

A dealer is asking me what I think a fair price is. I'm thinking invoice across the board, LOL. Is that a good starting point or should I start off subinvoice?

xc90bob: You can deduct sales tax on a vehicle???
 
In WA state if you itemize your income tax deductions, sales tax is part of that. If you don't itemize, then it won't matter.

Yup .. same here I got 2 kids: 4 & 5, so i have to go w/ ebony too.
 
one website told me that January is actually the best month to buy just because every1 overspent during the holidays / vacations, not many people out there shopping for a new car.
 
but ... i'll wait a couple more months before I pull the trigger. I will give an update on this forum when I do.

Fair price ... for MDX?
 
I think it depends on supply and demand. Like right now, every dealer in WA have at least 7-8 MDX's in-stock, so i'd expect the price to be pretty competitive. After much reading, I think 2k-3k below MSRP(= 1k-2k above invoice), will be a good deal. It all depends on how much time & hassle & negotiations & price comparisons you have.
 
Nevertheless ... you can always start at invoice / sub-invoice price .. and see where you end up. You may break a record for getting it at or under invoice price. Let us know.
