Replying to: cyrus (Jun 30, 2007 10:04 am) Today I finally met a dealer face to face. It was Buerkle Acura. They had plenty of 2007 MDX's available. I asked him to give me his best price for Tech + Entertainment MDX. He came back with a price of $43300. He told me that this is only a few hundred dollars over invoice. I showed him a consumer report pricing report that showed that his price including holdbacks is $41300. He was unwilling to lower the price. I told him that I will pay him $42800 and I want 10% discount on all the accessories. I haven't heard back from him yet. I have received an email from White Bear Acura telling me that they are giving a discount of $3000 to $3500 on all 2007 Acura MDX's. This is far cry from my 2001 Acurd MDX buying experience when I waited for 6 months and paid full price. What are the risks of buying cars from out of town? I have never done this. When I buy from local car dealers and I go there for service they give me a free rental car to get back to work. I was wondering if they will provide worse service if the know I didn't buy the car from them. Will they give me free loaner cars? If the answer is no then I will be better for buying locally, paying a little bit more than buying from out of town to save $500-$600. Thanks

Print out the accessory price list from the hondacuraworld site, take it to the dealer and ask them to match the price. If they say no, just order it from hondacuraworld, and pay the dealer to install them, or do it yourself, depending on the accessory. As long as the part is an original Acura part, the dealers will install them. I have owned Acuras since 1990, and if it is a part that I need to replace, but have some time( ex. the muffler) I will order it online, and then take it to the dealer to install. |

Host, I appreciate your attempt to referee but I don't think the dialog was in nasty intent between cvista and myself. A matter of some good banter is all. thank you nonetheless. BTW. For the record: I did use all the tools afforded to me via GM,Toyota, Honda, Acura, VW, BMW and Audi, The only one's I tested for what it was I needed to fit my concerns. I am truly grateful that we have in our procession the selections that I have mentioned and all the others that people have at their disposal. newkidontheblock.. For your consideration and any others in the market for the MDX: I purchased the MDX Sport invoiced  $42004.00.. I paid 200 over and got the following at cost as well. Roof Rack (532.00), Tow pkg (912.00), body side molding (324.00), Sport running boards (526.00), and cargo tray (125.00). This car had just come off the transporter and it was the very one that I had wanted. So stick to your guns and be prepared to hit all the dealers with your needs and demands. Put'em up against the wall with a full intent to buy and the money support behind you. I used the email approach with firm but business mannered verbiage. Indicated that I had been in contact with others and would like their reply to your offer. BTW, I offered mine invoice with everything else cost and my cargo tray no charge. The only thing I lost was the tray cost vs no charge and the 200 over vs invoice. I also indicated that I had a viable quote from another dealer once I had my guns loaded. I walked in knowing exactly what I could get. I asked for yet even more and still got it. If this helps... always speak in terms and relations to invoice and not price. Work them against a number you know not what they know you don't know. Hope this is of some help Jim

Replying to: jimjack (Jul 01, 2007 8:00 am) Congrats. Drive it for a week and you will know what I was talking about. You spent 42 grands on it but it's worth. SH-AWD itself is worth a lot of money and peace of mind. Believe me. I have been looking for 4 months and have never found one worth spending 40K except MDX. I will have mine soon. |

Replying to: krod2k7 (Jun 19, 2007 7:04 pm) Sale Price: $42,682 Doc Fees: $169 Registration: $354 Taxes: $2987.74 Tire tax: $7.50 ----------------- Total: 46,200.24 ----------------- I also purchased other accessories (body side moulding, roof rail and running boards at dealer price. I think I should have bargained for the accessories too. |

cvista, I knew all along which was the better car. In Califronia, the Acura's go for 1K-1.5K over invoice and I was about to put out 51K when I started my process of searching for the right auto back in March. Your so right, the Acura is in fact the better way to go. I just had to give any other car a shot to entertain me. Glad I chose the Acura. |

| Love the forums here...great info. Just walked out with a Nimbus Grey / Ebony Tech & Ent. package with side moldings, moonroof visor, mats, cargo cover and sport running boards for $46K total. Got the invoice price so it's definitely doable if you push hard enough. | |

Purchased MDX Tech on Saturday in Atlanta-area. Paid invoice plus $495 doc fee, $42 for tag, title, inspection fee and tax. Also, added sport running boards and roof rails. I'm sure it helped that Saturday was end of month and end of half-year; however, I'm positive vehicle can be purchased at invoice if the one you want is in stock. Just have to call around and tell dealer what you are willing to pay.
