Hi, Thanks for your advice. I looked at the site which was offering the extended warranty for $500 less than what I paid. The online application form for Acura extended warranty at http://hondawarrantyinfo.com has Honda care written on it and the application form given by my dealer has Acura care written on it. Moreover the site you mentioned is a Honda dealer and NOT an Acura dealer. So an extended warranty purchased from a Honda dealer will not be honored by an Acura dealer. |

Replying to: cvista (Apr 29, 2007 9:08 am) Item Acura $$ RetailDealer$$ My $$ Roof Rails $219 $389 $299 Sports Running Boards $560 $765 $587 Wheels Locks $85 $123 $94 ------ ----- ------- Totals $864 $1277 $980 Compared to Acura listed price I paid only $116 more for the accessories. (I do understand that the installation of the above would take nearly 2 hours * $80 = $160 would cost the dealer) Acura MDX sports Invoice $41334 destination Charge $670 ------- MDX was offered to me at $42004 (I tried for 1% holdback to be given to me but they were not ready. Holdback would generally be 1% to 3% from factory to dealer) After I got the confirmation from different dealers that they can't beat this price I made up my mind to take for the above listed price. What more could I have done to get a better deal? Any idea Cvista? You can get good finance from credit unions if you have excellent credit.

Replying to: pvsaig949 (Apr 29, 2007 6:52 pm) At this time, you can't go any lower unless you wait til memorial day !! Where did you get 4.7 ??. APR is the one delaying my purchase. DCU credit union gives me 6.5 for 60 months. MY FICO score is around 780

Replying to: cvista (Apr 29, 2007 8:05 pm) Here are the links I can give you to find the best rates I could get during my car buy. www.northwestfcu.org - 60 months 4.74% - 4.99% https://www.usalliance.org/welcomeX.aspx 60 months 5.75% - 5.99% How much would you expect that they could go down during the memorial day sale? Guess is OK for me?

Replying to: newbie17 (Apr 28, 2007 12:03 pm) $500 - $1000 by credit card only. At any cost NO cash or checks. -should i lease or own? (i dont want to change cars every year-this would do just fine) Buy, I mean Own the car. -any hidden costs i should be aware of ? lemon law - $5 - $10 Title + Reg + Lien = $150 (Max) Documentation Charge $300 (Max) Don't let the dealer tell you to get the VIN etching with him (dealer may tell that is the state or federal law). There is no law that the VIN etching as to be done at the dealer and you can get get a package for doing your self for $50 max on the internet. -i want to keep my old license plate nos, how do i do that? Just tell the dealer that you want to keep your plates but are you doing a trade in? |

Replying to: pvsaig949 (Apr 30, 2007 4:33 am) Probably they might offer 1.9 or 2.9 APR where you could save some money. For NCU, can anyone become member ??? or do they need reference ??

Replying to: cvista (Apr 30, 2007 4:55 am) I just now got a call from Sunnyside acura of New Hampshire - Nashua and was discussing the deal I got for my Acura MDX - Sports - they were still not able to offer any where near to it. I tried to get his thoughts on buying the same during the memorial day sale and he was some what not sure if I could get below invoice even during the memorial day sale. Any of the car makers are not ready to offer good APR's even during the "good sale day" (Like Memorial Day) for SUV's but offer a good APR for small car sector in thier make/market, Like sedans and so. Acura MDX 2006 was and is being offered at APR 3.99% even today. So, can you expect that they will offer 2.99% APR during the memorial day! My personal thought for all:- During my car buying process (even today as the car has not yet been delivered to me. Delivery is on 05/03/2007)) I am learning new methods and tricks dealers use to hit you, that to badly to keep your money or take money from your pockets. Don't trust the talk they have with you or do with you, turst the paper they write upon only. Remember that they are not your common/daily friends/family members to provide trust for you. After going through the process of buying a car, I decided to help those in the market to buy cars by making them aware of few tricks I know off. 1. Always take a BUDDY with you and ask your buddy to engage any other person trying to talk to the buyer during the Purchase.The buyer need to concentrate on the paper work. 2. Don't go to the dealership late in the day or 2 hours before the close of business to make your purchase. 3. For negotiations go late in the evening. 4. For buying go early in the morning such that you have pently of time to read and decide to sign the purchase order. 5. Take your laptop to connect to the internet for anything the sales person tries to sell you during the purchase order. 6. Just tell the finance guy, please give me the purchase order with all the numbers in it. I will read it completely and then get back to you - I mean go the cafe at the dealership - connect to internet - check all the listed prices in the market - check if the listed prices are applied because of state or federal law - if not you have the option of asking them to take them out from your purchase order. - talk to your friends about the listed items - take other dealership numbers - discuss the charges they put on your purchase order with other dealers if in doubt. DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING AFTER YOU REACH THE FINANCE GUY - LIKE THE WAX PACKAGE - PROTECTION PACKAGE and so on - just tell " no no no no" to everything the finance guy tries to offer you. Don't trust the marketing words the finance or senior sales guy doing your purchase order telling you during the write up. Happy shopping!

Replying to: pvsaig949 (Apr 30, 2007 6:39 am) Of-course MDX is a great vehicle but not doing great as Honda had expected, so they might be willing to provide more rebates for dealers enabling them to go below invoice in summer. The lowest quote that I have in hand is 400 below invoice and open-road Wayne wants to beat it. But I'm not ready to buy right now due to personal reasons. Not everyone has enough time like me.
