MDX 2007 with Tech by cakes99

Just bought a MDX 2007 with Tech package from Chevy Chase Acura in Bethesda MD. $500.00 over invoice, no trade no add on options. Also had the same offer from Radley's Acura in Northern Virginia. We did try to get the vehicle at invoice price and they would not do it. $500.00 seems to be the lowest they will go.

Hey cakes;
 
I am assuming that that translates to around 41K?

Well can we really expect the price to go down sharply in one or two months? Whats the theory!

I dont have a good theory, but here's the logic of what I feel - as pressure building up for Acura sales by the month:
 
April: They reported a loss of sales number (don't ask me for references, I read it somewhere on these forums), so I guess the novelty was/is wearing off.
 
May: 2008 Buick Enclave CXL will cause a dent in their sales - MDX give 17/22mpg on premiums, the lambdas are at 16/22mpg on regular - costwise about the same. Everybody wants a new MY vehicle, other things being comparable.
 
June: Gas prices might rise for summer (I hope not). If it does, sales of gas guzzling SUV's will slow down even more.
 
July: 2008 Highlander will cause more dents in sale - it's expected to have a better mpg number (19/24), too.
 
August: Lot clearance time - make space for 2008 Acura's
 
My logic is that the more we wait now, the more aggressive deals we can expect to get from the dealers. Personally, I will be happy if I get $500 over invoice. Best wishes to you for your purchase, - MS.

Buick? by jmpage2

Buick isn't even in the same playpen as Acura. And as far as gasoline prices go, I don't know many people looking at $40,000-$50,000 luxo SUVs who obsess over gas costing them an extra few hundred dollars a year.
 
Deals on the MDX will get better because interest always slows on new models as the novelty wears off. It doesn't mean a guarenteed invoice price deal by year's end though. The market you are in and the supply/demand will still be a factor.

Good points.Thank you.
I got a quote 45+ change on road for Tech pkg though does not look attractive.Hoping I can start bargain from there.
 
Also I was wondering if I dont travel lot out of town does Tech pkg make sense is 3,500 addition from Basic worth for the features?
 
What you guys here think.

Re: Shopping MDX in Dallas - Fort Worth [sij] <-- Basic vs. Tech. vs. Sport by cheapskate21

Basic or Tech?
My 2 cents is at least get the Tech. Acura's navigation system is being praised to be the best. Why get an Acura if you're not getting a feature that it excels in? Also, with the Tech, the sound system is upgraded to ELS (custome-designed system). Even with the ELS, some people still complain about the system being not as good as other luxury cars. The Basic probably comes with a very basic sound system.
 
Tech or Sport?
How do you drive your car? Do you need superior suspension system? Do you like sportier-looking wheels?

MDX 2007 Tech+Entertainment from Acura of Seattle by negotiator

Just bought my Silver/Ebony MDX 2007 yesterday with Tech + Entertainment and Protection Package (costs about $450 MSRP and apparently added by all North West dealers to sweeten their profits) from Acura of Seattle for $43,100.00 (price exclusive of tax and licensing). Very clean & courteous dealership and friendly associates but I hated that they (and all dealerships in the area) are imposing the Protection Package on you. Plus, there seems to be no documentation on what the protection package has and one only has to go by what the dealers guys tell you.
 
We tried negotiating with the Bellevue dealership but they were cocky and uninterested. Wanted us to share my SSN and DOB before they would even give us a final number. Baddddddd experience...
 
Has anyone else bought from a NW dealer? What was the price?

Is this a good deal to go for. Or Should I bargain more. Also is the sports package really worth adding.

From the research that I did recently for my purchase you are conceding 5% in profit to the dealer which is exactly what they are looking for. Depending on demand in your area I would think that you could do better than this, IMHO you are very close, as 4% profit would amount to around 41.2. Are you looking for any add ons? I would only agree to this if they would add at least $500 (MSRP) in some kind of add-ons, check the web site, you may find some items that you would like to add.
 
Also, I would mention to them that they have you at their profit goal, this would tell them that you did your homework.
