no, when I bought mine a couple months ago the Ipod interface wasn't really working correctly, so they recommended I not buy it. The connection in the center console is just a 2.5 jack. You connect it just like the earbuds. Still sounds great, but I will wait for Acura to make the interface that actually gets installed in the MDX better before I buy it. I understand that the one you buy and have the dealer install does display on the NAV screen, but I am not sure, I don't have it.

I just left the dealership because I felt they were switching numbers around and playing games. It felt shady and I got up and left. Your advice would be appreciated. I'm looking at a Nimbus Gray tech pkg. w/out ent. the price they quoted me originally included gap insurance. Before taxes it was 40,773.46 out the door it would be 44564.86 they let me go home and sleep on it because it was after hours and someone was already in finance. Today I go back and they tell me it does not include gap insurance and to recieve that they needed a down payment of $500.00 in order to get it. I responded with no thank you. Then they came back with "Good News" and said they will include it with no money down, but the interest rate went up 1%. I responded with have a good night. The vehicle wasn't my ideal color and they have several entertainment pkgs. on the lot in a color i like and only one tech. What should be my strategy?

Extended Warranty - Acura backed or Dealer backed? by curiousmdx
Aug 28, 2007 (10:05 am)

Hello,
 
Which is better? Every dealer has the option of proposing either the Acura backed or their own warranty. The warranty that my dealer recommended included a "return of money" where if I don't make any claims during the extended warranty period I can get my money back so long as I make my claim within thirty days of my vehicle hitting the mileage or the years. Acura backed warranty does not have this clause. My dealer says that the service can be provided by any Acura dealer for the warranty they have provided.
 
Can you suggest which is safer among these two options? Acura backed warranty is actually couple of hundred bucks cheapper than what my dealer is proposing.
 
Thanks.

Hi,
 
Looks like a good deal for the Denver area, please confirm if there was any other fees like destination/processing on top of the $42,589.
 
Also, did you shop around much at other Denver area dealerships?
 
Please reply to venturabob2gmail.com
 
thanks,
Bob

After an exhaustive search trying to find a MDX Tech/Ent in the NY/NJ/CT area (looking for color - Silver or Blue w/ Taupe and a good price) I finally went with Park Ave in Maywood.
 
500 below invoice
42,095 Invoice
   744 Running Boards
  -500 Below Invoice (discount)
42,339 TOTAL
 
2007 MDX Silver w/ Taupe - Tech/Ent w/ Running Boards
36 Month Lease / 10k miles per year through American Honda Finance - at .00209 money rate
 
Cap Cost ~42,339 (plus approx. $230 in the lease for Title and CT Registration). Residual is 26,188.
 
Monthly Payment is $634.64 (includes CT tax 6%)
 
Drive off cost is $1529.28 (595 Finance Fee, 249 Doc Fee, 50.64 Tax on Doc and Finance Fee, 634.64 First Month Payment)
 
Good experiences with Acura of Ramsey and Morande Acura in Berlin CT - professional and easy to deal with.
 
Bad Experience with Paragon in Woodside, NY(never returned a call - terrible service - still couldn't get a price after 2 days) - Read other reviews on them - seems like they are scam artists.
 
Greenwich Acura, Acura of Westchester, Rallye Acura and Acura of Valley Stream were all at least $1-2k higher - and not willing to budge.
  
Hope this is helpful. Thanks for other posts - definely able to help me get a good deal.

I don't know anything about your dealer, but I have had very bad experience with third party warranties. This time, I am going with Acura. Who is more likely to go out of business, a third party insurance company you never heard of, or Acura? If you don't think it will happen, just look up "Warranty Gold", which was sold through THIS SITE, Edmunds. You will find my Bankruptcy Proof of Claim along with thousands of others. I have had two cars since then and I am still waiting for the reimbursement on my repair.

MDX 2007 by crackberry

Hi,
  
We are expecting our first born and hence want to replace our coupe with a SUV. It will be either a Lexus RX 350 or a MDX.
We are looking for the 2007 MDX base model (with running board) in Northern VA. The assumption is that 2007 model will be a lot cheaper (2k or more) than the 2008 models. if that is not true, we would have gone for the '08 model.
  
What price should we aim for paying for the base MDX around northern VA (Vienna/Fairfax) area?
In this forums some people have posted that they were able to buy MDX less than the invoice. Is it reasonable to ask for $1500 or $2000 less than the invoice?
 
Also, any suggestions if the extra cost of the Tech Package is worth it?? What should we target to pay for the 2007 MDX with tech package and running board)
 
Do share if you know of a good dealership where I can get a good deal.
  
Thanks,
CB

I don't know of a dealer in your area. But I can tell you $1500 or $2000 below invoice is unheard of. The closest someone offered me was $500 below invoice but he wasn't willing to send me an email confirming that. That being said you should fight for at least $500 below invoice.
 
The TECH package is truly amazing and worth it. The sport running boards that I got was $568 including installation. Retail is around $690. Negotiate for around 20% off accessories like this including installation.
 
Good luck!

Also, you may go to https://estore.honda.com/asp/logon.asp, plug in your zip code, the vehicle you are purchasing. It will let you choose a dealer where you want to buy and install your accessories and the price that dealer charges with and without installation for each accessory. Kinda neat.

This forum has been very helpful to me as I went through the process of choosing a vehicle and finally purchasing a 2007 Acura MDX (base version - gray on taupe) yesterday. Thanks to all the contributors.
 
I live in Atlanta, GA and worked with the five local dealers (Nalley, Voyles, Carland, Jackson, Sons) only via e-mail and phone to get the deal done. Ultimately, Sons Acura in Morrow gave me the best offer:
 
1. Car price (including destination) - $36,397
2. Doc. prep. fee - $499
4. Sales tax 7% - $2,583
5. Title & lemon law fee - $21
Drive-out price - $39,500 even.
 
The dealer threw in cargo tray, splash guards, wheel lock and all-season mats as part of the package. The internet sales manager, who is relatively new, was very responsive and comes highly recommended. The Finance Department tried to sell me bunch of things I didn't want, which I don't think is unusual.
