MDX 2007 Tech+Entertainment from Acura of Seattle by negotiator
May 20, 2007 (7:48 pm)

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?

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.

On the protection package there are 2:
 
Protection package 1 includes:
 
This package includes All-Season Floor Mats and a matching Cargo Tray to protect the carpet of both the passenger and cargo areas of the cabin. Wheel locks are also included.
 
$355 MSRP
 
Protection package 2 includes:
 
This package includes All-Season Floor Mats and a heavy-duty carpeted Cargo Mat to protect the carpet of both the passenger and cargo areas of the cabin. Wheel locks are also included.
 
$320 MSRP
 
This is from the ACURA web site, I didn't see any for $450 MSRP, do you know what they said it included?

I'm in Chicago-land area. Send an e-mail via Edmunds to 8 or so Acura dealers - three quotes are just at $500 over invoice including $670 destination (one from Milwaukee area and the others from Chicago area). My area dealer in Libertyville (IL) or in Milwaukee (WI) will sell MDX with the premium (i.e. base Package) at $37,436 (includes the $670 destination). Tech package is also sold at $40,604 (includes destination). I must say that these were just after I only spend 5 minutes e-mailing. I assume I can go lower easily by $150 to 200 (as another dealer in IL called me [as opposed to e-mailing] and will beat the others by $150 or 5% of difference). So in a nut shell for those of you out there, DO NOT PAY anything more than $500 over invoice. I used a similar strategy 2 yrs ago to buy my Infiniti FX at $300 over invoice. MDX will be the wife’s car.
 
P.S. I liked the MDX very much as it has a supremely comfortable ride and top crash scores better than almost anything out there including NOW updated IIHS rear crash (which earned top marks). But it does not have the reflexes (i.e., steering) or the rapid pick up of my FX. I also think Acura can learn a few exterior design lessons from other luxury cars, making their exteriors Stunning as opposed to just plane polarizing. Despite my minor complaints, it is among the best crossovers out there.

I don't see any standard protection packages listed on the Acura web site for the MDX 2007. Can you please post a URL?
 
They said they'd include all weather floor mats, a cargo try and wheel locks. The total MSRP of just these 3 is less than what they quoted so I am going to find out what all they added.
 
I am happy with the price, regardless. Am also eager to know what others have paid, especially if they got it for lower

I went to www.acura.com. Then selected the MDX vehicle and looked under the accessories category. The front page does say "2007 MDX Accessories".
 
In any case, I know what you mean by adding these packages. I just got a quote for a 2007 MDX w/tech. $41003+TTL and it included auto dimming rear view mirror (not sure I really need it) plus some type of protection package. The dealer said it was a $700+ value and he was giving it to me for $615.

Sport Package Price Question by dms9

I am interested in the 2007 MDX. I didn't go through the internet, I really don't want 4 dealers calling me every day. I got what I think is a good quote in the Washington DC area, please let me know what you think.
 
MDX Sport with body side molding and roof rack (no crossbars) for $42,500. The dealer is adding $299 processing charge, not sure what that is?
 
Can I do better?
 
Thanks
