Replying to: sportmdx (Sep 27, 2007 5:48 am) I purchased my 2007 MDX in Jacksonville FL - overall very good experience. Only negative was with the finance "mgr". After I stated NO to additional warranty and he still tried to push - I just stared back at him with an (are u a friggin' dumbass look). A second time I turned to my wife and commented to her openly (as though he was not in the room ) that "man this guy is SLOW". It's kind of fun if you know what you want to do ahead of time, have been thru the process before, and treat their BS as a game and never take that crap personally.

I am in contract on an 08 MDX Sport in the new Sterling Grey Metalic color. The transaction is in California (Power Acura South Bay) and was negotiated through CarsDirect.com The cars direct price in this zip code was pretty good. The problem I had with competing dealers is that they wanted a fortune to install the dealer accessories. Cars direct had what I think are GREAT prices on the accessories. I know I could get a 2007 for a bit less but I wanted the new color and I figured the 2008 is worth a bit more as it is not a year old yet. Here are the exact figures. The accessory prices include installation. 08 MDX Sport: $43,256 Sport Run Boards: 559.85 Roof Rails & Cross Bars: 409.34 Lower Front Garnish: 328.90 Body Side Molding: 247.75 Cargo Cover: 137.37 Cargo tray: $123.07 Bicycle Receiver: 570.80 Total: $45,633.08 Plus tax/license Note, the bicycle reciever is instead of the towing package. Its a bit cheaper and I can plug in a bike rack just like you would plug in a towing ball/hitch. It is not suitable for towing as far as I know. Certainly it does not include the wiring necessary for towing a trailer. Note also that the roof rails and cross bars are apparently offered at a package price for 2008. Previously I have always seen them priced independently. Hope this helps. |

A reporter from a national newspaper is hoping to talk to consumers who purchased a car recently instead of waiting, fearing that prices may rise as the dollar weakens. Please reply to ctalati edmunds.com no later than Monday, October 1, 2007 with your daytime contact info.

i have an 04 mdx and i'm looking at the 08 ...its a much better vehicle but what are the real driving and everyday differences in the different levels after the base model? has anyone driven all 4? i'm trying to reconcile the $$$ differences versus what you really get for your dollar

Replying to: mdellis33 (Sep 28, 2007 4:07 pm) So you are saying that there is a noticable difference between the Comfort mode on the Sport and the fixed ride on the non-Sport. I assume you mean the Sport's Comfort mode offers a smoother, more comfortable ride? When driving in Comfort mode, wow much handling ability do you give up compared to the non-Sport's fixed setting?

Replying to: JBaumgart (Sep 28, 2007 6:15 pm) Since this is the Prices Paid forum here are my numbers: 2008 Sterling Grey Sport/Ent Vehicle: $45,401 includes delivery and dealers doc fee Sport Running Boards: $515(installed) Roof Rail: $228 (installed) Front Lower Garnish: $305 (installed) All-weather mats: $102 Total vehicle price: $46,551 + TTL I'm in the Kansas City area and I didn't have a trade-in. I think I could have negotiated a lot more off the vehicle but I was running up against the end of the 2.9% finance incentive on the 2007/8's which ended Sep 4th. I was able to get the incentive even though my car had not even been built.

Replying to: mdxtimesthree (Sep 28, 2007 1:45 pm) The question isn't about harshness of ride, it's about handling. The Sport has an active suspension, that is, it gets softer or harder multiple times a second. Each wheel is adjusted separately. You will notice it when you go around a corner or slam on your breaks. The vehicle stays flat. I, too, leave it in comfort mode most of the time. But, even still, the handling is much improved. I thought it was a bargain on the MDX. The other vehicle I was looking at, the SRX, wanted $1,600 for the magnetic ride (active suspension). It's worth the money and you will enjoy the vehicle so much more. Enjoy. |
