deichel,
As each day goes by, you should be getting better and better deals.
At the time, just 10 days back, I had likely the best deal one could get.
your invoice as you have it listed is $41,425.00.
Aside from the accessories, you should pay no more than 200 over this invoice. Look at the cost of those accessories I listed a couple of postings back and get the same. Labor is nearly 135.00 per hour in California. forget the labor, get the items at cost period.. They'll do this.
Granted, I had a check for 30K as my down and showed I was damn serious. But, wether or not you had 10K or 30K as a down, shouldn't keep the deal from happening. There are other dealers available.

I couldn't wait anymore - broke down and got it yesterday. I paid $43,850 drive out for the Tech in Nimbus Gray. Included in this price is 4 years of free oil and filter changes, and free car washes for as long as I own the car. They also threw in front window tinting, all weather floor mats and cargo tray for free. You think I got a good deal for the Houston market?

I paid $43,334 for a Nimbus Grey MDX Tech & Entertainment with Roof Rack, Cross Bars & Sidesteps at Pohanka Acura in Chantilly. If you go there, make sure you negotiate an out-the-door price because they have a $300 processing fee.

Is this a good deal? by pettisk

I bought a brand new 2007 MDX (Tech. and Entertain.)back in March for $43,000, and I liked it so much that I am now looking to trade in my 2005 black/black TL (w/navigation), which is in at least "good" condition, perhaps "excellent" condition. A dealer offered to sell a demo tech./entertain. with 4,200 miles on it for $41,000, and he offered to value the trade in at $23,000 (my TL has 35K miles on it, with navigation system).
 
What do you guys think? I plan to negotiate anyway, but how far do you think I should go, seeing as though from what I can tell, the demo with 4,100 miles should be worth around $42,500 and the TL should be traded in at about $23,000 (based on my research on edmunds and kelley blue book)?
 
Thanks,
 
PK

this forum has really helped and thanks to everyone who shares info.
i'm looking at an MDX base for $500 over invoice plus processing ($95) and destination ($670), including free loaner when i come in for service (very valuable to me), free carwashes for life (valuable or a throw-away?) and free all-weather mats ($190 list), cargo liner ($300 list), wheel locks ($100 list), all of which I really want. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You may also want to try Piazza Acura in West Chester. Just picked up a Tech & Ent for $42,100 plus the destination. Negotiated on the accessories (side moldings, moonroof visor, sport steps) and they threw in a cargo cover, wheel locks and cargo net for free. Good luck!

Hi kuchizuke - did you purchase the car from john eagle? i think they are the only ones to do the free car washes and oil changes for 4 years. i think they are also the only ones who tint the front two windows for all of their mdx's as a standard.
 
If i did the math right, you essentially bought the car for $853.25 over invoice. If you add up the two accessories at $135 each, that reduces your price to $583.06 over invoice (excellent deal). The four years of car washes and oil changes is standard and it sounds like the tinting is used as a bargaining chip (nice that they didn't charge you for it - I think it's a $200 value).
 
Invoice: $40,203 (including destination)
TTL: $2613.20 (6.25% tax + .25% dealer tax)
Documentation Fees: $180.55
Invoice + TTL + Documentation: $42,996.75
 
Tinting: $198.00 market value
Cargo Cover: $135.00 market value
All Season Mats: $135.00 market value
 
Your price: $43,850
 
Price paid over invoice without counting the accessories: $853.25. And, if you include 2 accessories and the market price for tinting, it's $385.25 which is an excellent value for Houston
 
What interior color did you end up going with?

norisekips: you are correct, i did buy from john eagle. i had the best experience dealing with them. they were very courteous, professional and true to their word.
 
sterling mccall offered to match at $43,500 drive out, but w/o any accesories or extras. they were a day late in that offer, and we had already gotten our car.
 
champion didn't have any techs available, so we had very limited conversation.
 
gillman was the most unprofessional of all the dealerships. you were right- the internet sales guy was very lazy and rude. i even e-mailed their sales manager twice, telling them i had an offer, and gave them an opportunity to match or beat it. you would think they would have the common courtesy to at least e-mail me back! the company i work for is a part of an "auto discount plan" where employees talk to managers directly, and can get discounts through the program. gillman was the only dealership that was a part of this program, so i tried to deal with the manager responsible for that program. he was very unprofessional and unresponsive - i was sorely disappointed - not what i expected from a luxury car dealership.
 
all in all, i had an easy experience negotiating (started negotiations on Friday, and got the car on Monday). i would have liked to get it at invoice, but i've had my eye on the MDX for over 7 months, that i just could'nt wait anymore, especially after the financing special started. i feel like i got the best deal possible at this time, and it's a price i can live with, so i'm very happy.
 
btw, i got the taupe interior. i hear that darker leathers show wear faster, and in the houston sun, i am very hesitant in getting any dark colors.
 
thanks for everyone's input- this forum was very educational and has helped me get a great deal!
