MDX w/Tech - Portland, OR by devilduck

Picked up my new 2007 MDX Tech yesterday from Portland (Oregon) Acura. It has the following options, some of which I had installed:
 
NW Package (Wheel Locks, All Weather Floor Mats, Cargo Mat)
Roof Rails
Cross Bars
Running Boards (not sport)
 
OTD Price: $42,712
 
I traded e-mails with the two Portland area dealers as well as the Salem and Eugene stores. All of them told me they were close to the Edmunds.com TMV price for our area. I actually visited Portland Acura and Ron Tonkin Acura in Beaverton, but felt most comfortable with the staff at Portland Acura. At Ron Tonkin, the internet manager seemed irritated when I showed up without an appointment, and when I said that I wanted a price close to invoice, I got a long lecture on how much overhead they have. I finally had to say “I get it” several times before he stopped.
 
I had a generally good experience with Portland Acura and recommend them, but my one suggestion is to make sure you’re crystal clear in terms of the out-the-door price you plan to pay before you go close the deal. We had slight miscommunication in terms of whether the price quoted over e-mail included the document and title fee ($218).
 
Happy hunting.

Correct, OTD $42,712. No sales tax in Oregon. I'm thinking it's a decent deal for the NW -- a lot of other areas of the country seem to get much closer to or below invoice.

MDX Tech/Ent in NJ/NY by hypermr

I am looking for 2007 MDX Tech/Ent package w/ Nimbus Gray/Ebony color. A dealer from NJ gives the following quote:
 
MSRP is $46,265
 
MDX with locate charge
$42,294
$2,960.58 TAX
$189 DOC FEE
$342 FOUR YRS REG
$7.50 TIRE TAX
 
OTD $45,793.08
 
Is this a good buy? Price is $200 over invoice. Any room to bring it down further, say $500 - $1000 down?
 
Any suggestion on how to negotiate some freebies, e.g. cargo net, wheel cover, free oil change? Do you ask upfront now, or wait till you pick up after finalizing the price?
 
Thanks in advance for your help. This is a great forum.

Hi kmall,
 
Is that around invoice (how much above or below)? I also live in Maryland (Baltimore) and do NOT want to pay over invoice. If you don't mind, what is the name of the Internet Sales Lady you worked with?
 
Thanks!

MDX Tech in washington by mdxtech

Great forum....I've learned a lot from everyone on the forum and I thank you for that. I thought that I would share my purchase information with folks.
 
I closed the deal on June 31st but took delivery this week. In the time between putting money down on the car and its delivery Acura started an incentive program of 2.9% financing so I was able to get that as well. I thought this was a pretty good price for washington state. What do folks think?
 
$40,850 including wheel locks, all season mats, door guards and cargo tray. This is before tax and licensing.

mdxtech, is that for a tech package? If so, thats pretty good. The extras that you are describing sounds like the NW protection package.
I just leased a 2007 mdx with tech package, wheel locks and all season mats also here in Seattle. The agreed upon value of vehicle - 41053. That's 800 over invoice. I know that people can get these at or even below invoice, especially on the east coast, but this was the best I could find around here. Did I get an ok deal for our market?

andy300m - my deal is for a tech.
 
I can't really comment on your lease deal because its not directly comparable to a straight purchase and I never really researched leasing.
 
The deal I got did include the NW protection package but it also included the door guards.

mdxtech, I think you got a great deal. Leasing is comparable to purchase in a way that you also negotiate the price of the vehicle, but other variables (like money factors and residuals) matter also.
Which dealership was this at?
