Yes, we signed the contract, I drove out the car and one week later they want to change the conditions. If I don't accept the 5.9% they offer me to return the car. They say that there is a clause somewhere lost in the tons of paper that you sign at the purchase that says that the agreement depends on bank approval. The bank is Honda Financial and according to Rick Case they don't accept these conditions for me because I have a short (but excellent) credit hystory in the US. I am returning the car and buying somewhere else.

Houston Dealers by dj1809

I'm looking for a nimbus grey/taupe 2007 MDX with sport package and so far the two quotes I have gotten are the following:
 
John Eagle: $42946 before TTL
Sterling McCall: $43144 before TTL
 
Seems a little high. Also Sterling McCall quoted me a 6.25% state tax, but I thought the TX state tax was 8.25.
 
Would appreciate any input/guidance. Thanks!

They make it sound like they're short on stock and that they're flying out the doors so there's no way that they can go any lower. Oh well...

2008 MDX purchased in VA by waybourn

Just bought fully (I mean "fully" loaded) 2008 blk/blk 2008 MDX.
 
MSRP as configured: $47,900.
Invoice: $42,900.
Out the door price: $43,897.59
 
I bought the VIN number off the incoming vehicles sheet, as 2008s not arrived at Radley Acura in Bailey's Crossroads; push was on to sell 2007s, of course. Sales Mgr rejected the first deal that was $500 lower. Also got 10 percent off int/ext accessories installed. First time with this dealership, but loved the experience. Sales rep was the best I've ever had, she went to the mat with her manager based on my take-it-or-leave final offer and finally got approval from general manager.

Way to go waybourn. When you say loaded, what trim level and accessories did you have? Is this base, tech, sport? Is the out the door price with tax? Give us some of your great details.

Good for you. I would return the car too. Look at it this way, you got to test drive their car for a week for free.

Also...waybourn, what IS different about the '08? Is the only difference the auto dimming mirror? Anything else?

It's the Tech/Entertainment packages plus the following installed accessories at 10 percent off lowest price I got from shopping other Acura dealerships in advance -- believe me, they are competitive.
 
Roof rails, Back up Sensors, Door Edge Guards, Engine Block Heater (later removed as not necessary for VA climate), Body Side Molding and Cargo Liner.
 
Price includes destination charge of $715, but no taxes (except on down payment), title or license. I also had printed out online coupon from the dealership's website worth an additional $250.
 
At my request, the finance manager ran about 10 different scenarios and I ended up with the preferred lease from AHF. It was a much better deal despite qualifying for 2.9 interest promotion from Acura and participating dealers that expires on 9/4/2007.
 
Right before I took the deal, I called another Acura dealership 75 miles away on my cell phone to see if they would bite -- he put me on hold for several minutes, then came back and said "Man, I can't even come close, much less match your deal. If there's no mistake, you should take it."
 
Note there are several Radley dealerships - this one is in Bailey's Crossroads, VA.
 
Honestly, I think they looked at it as an opportunity to avoid putting another vehicle on their lot and didn't have to add to their stock or inventory. As far as they were concerned, it was a VIN number on paper. They knew within a few minutes that I had done my homework (thanks to this forum) and was prepared to buy a 2008, so why let me walk out the door? A lot of credit is also due to the sales rep who pushed her bosses to get the deal done. This was my first experience with a female sales rep at a woman-owned dealership -- I will go back there when my other vehicle (Audi) comes off lease in late 2008.

They showed me a book that the dealership had just received that listed only two or three things that were different in each area (interior, exterior, etc.). If I recall, the mirror was one of them. I believe another one was a color that was dropped, but I didn't care as I was looking only at "Formal Black" (now called "Nighthawk").
 
Sorry not to be more specific, as I liked the 2007 model, and not having seen the 2008, I really didn't care or pay much attention to that area. I expect it will be hard to spot much difference between the 07's and the 08's.
 
I'll see if I can find out more tomorrow and post it.
