#550 of 7001 Better Pricing in CA by e2000 Aug 21, 2003 (10:07 am)
I am taking a deliverly today from Superior Acura Bakersfield for little over $42K O.T.D for a Touring/Nav. The Sales person is driving to N. Califonia at this very moment and should be here this afternoon. I will update after the deliverly.

I seriously thought about getting the MDX too until I compared both of them in person. There is a good reason for the price difference and you can only understand what I mean if you see it yourself. For one thing, the GX is a lot more luxurious than the MDX. Take a good look and feel of the leather. The GX is just better. I saw a 2002 MDX a few months ago. Took a good look at the leather. It was crap. Total crap. I hate the perforated leather of the MDX. I just hate those holes in the leather. People say they tear easily too. The GX has solid thick leather. The leather on my 7 year old Lexus looks better than the leather on this one year old MDX I saw. That's why I have been looking at the GX ever since, but I'm here just to check out the pricing of the MDX for bargaining talk on the GX. Now I'm hearing someone got $500 below invoice on the MDX? Wow! Great news. The best deal I've got as an actual offer for the MDX was $2,000 off MSRP. The best deal I've got for the GX was $4,000 off MSRP. I've HEARD people getting $5,000 off MSRP and as high $7,000 off MSRP on the topped out model with the MSRP of $53K. Another example, the MDX has fake woodtrim and the GX has real genuine woodtrim. The MDX doesn't have side curtain airbags and the GX does. Just get the GX.
#552 of 7001 $39K for Touring + RES + NAV by kvfhg Aug 22, 2003 (12:26 pm)
I got an offer today from a dealer in PA for $39,000 for a Touring + RES + NAV. I haven't agreed on the deal yet. Will let you guys know later.
#553 of 7001 What worries me about the GX... by rerenov8r Aug 22, 2003 (1:52 pm)
Is resale. Yes, I know that the LX470 has held value overtime, even with the Toyo LC sometimes representing a better value.   But with the GX not exactly flying out of showrooms I wonder if the "market" for mid-sized V8 powered truck based SUVs is too small.   Throw in the laughable third seat, bad-going-on-shameful MPG, and VERY VERY high price "fully optioned" and that picture gets even less rosy.   Granted the leather & interior is quite nice.The sound system is among the best OEM offerings available. The off-road capability is world class. The power is superb.   I would really hate to spend $46K and find out resale quickly evaporates... Spend $39K for a "fully loaded" MDX and that value is going be solid.
#554 of 7001 GX by hopeitsfriday Aug 22, 2003 (2:21 pm)
The GX is already selling at a big discount, It has not even been out for a year yet. The big discounts is dictated by the lack of demand for the GX. The GX's strong points just dont hit buyers in the right spots. At 50 big ones, the GX should have more horsepower, handle better, more useable interior space and just a better design over all. I think most people choose to buy the MDX with better acceleration, better handling, more useable space and better 3rd row seats and pocket the $10,000 instead of going for the better leather seats and real wood panels.

Have an 02 MDX. Agree with you about the difference in luxury. The seats in the MDX are not all leather. The seats are leather trimmed, but the parts with the small holes are not leather. The fake wood isn't bad and has held up a lot better than the real wood did in my 01 Jaguar.   If you don't need the added utility an MDX offers over a GX and you feel the added cost of a GX is worth the additional luxury you will be happier with the GX. For us, it was the car like driving feel and the utility that sold us on the MDX.   Resale prices of MDXs are slipping and both will have substantial depreciation, though with the recent dramatic increase in gasoline prices, the lower mpg GX may take a bigger hit.
#556 of 7001 Looking for a good deal in So. Cal. by sarmci Aug 25, 2003 (9:13 am)
I am looking to buy a 2003 MDX. Can anyone recommend a dealer who is willing to give a discount off MSRP in southern CA.? I'm looking for the base or touring model. Has anyone gotten a good deal on these? If you could email me Sarmciaol.com. Thanks.

I think all of us who are in the market for luxury SUVs demand a lot. Yeah, the $10K difference in MSRP definitely favors the MDX, but at the same time, I'm thinking, "I would like to keep my luxury SUV for maybe 10 years, and I just don't think the leather+non-leahter seats of the MDX will last that long". As soon as I saw the condition of the seats of that one used 2002 MDX at the Acura dealer, I was extremely disappointed walking away. Well, I do hope the GX has less and less demands! More discounts for me!!!!! ****heee***heee*** Yeah, I personally got a salesman offer me $4K off MSRP for the GX. That's without me breaking a sweat trying! I'm sure I can easily get $5K off MSRP. And by next year when the market is even more saturated with SUVs and the gasoline prices remain high, I can probably get $6K off MSRP--perhaps even $7K off MSRP if the GX moves as slow as some people think! Let's see which would I rather have? An MDX $3K off MSRP or a GX at $6K off MSRP? Thus, the difference now becomes about $6-7K, not $10K. For the added luxury, I think $6-7 K is well worth it, don't you? Of course, some people do prefer the ride of the MDX and some prefer the ride of the GX. They are both outstanding SUVs. Oh, I wish Acura would make the MDX an 8 seater, not 7! Who's idea was it to make it a 7-seater and the Pilot an 8 seater? Yeah, synthetic vs real wood is really no big deal. But excellent quality leather vs. not so great leather+non-leather parts is a huge issue. I can't believe the seats of the MDX is not all leather, I mean at least the parts where you sit down! So fake wood and real leather plus fake leather with holes? So for the $6-7K difference, you get a much bigger engine, a real off-road SUV, and true luxury appointed leather and wood, and the Lexus prestige. Okay, guys, buy the MDX and avoid the GX like the plague please! I wish no body buys the GX so that they start selling them at invoice or maybe $500 below invoice. The GX sucks! The MDX is great! Buy only the MDX! Buy anything except the GX!!! ****heee****heee***heee***LOL***
#558 of 7001 Ya' know... by rerenov8r Aug 25, 2003 (11:32 am)
I was poking around the Toyo store on the weekend and they DO have some incentives on the 4Runner. You CAN get the V8 in that. In fact, you could even put the SUPERCHARGER on it (it is a DIO unit). Out the door you could have firebeathing SC V8 4Runner for less than the GX...   Just sumthin' to think about.
#559 of 7001 7 vs. 8 by fndlyfmrflyr Aug 25, 2003 (12:27 pm)
If one measures the width of the third row in most mini vans or SUVs one will find they are really two person seats, not three - unless the people are very small.   The third row in the MDX is essentially the same width as the third row in the Pilot. Honda adds a third seat belt and calls it a three person seat, but it is virtually the same as the MDX two person seat.   My old 1984 Toyota Van had a real three person third row. The van was 9 inches narrower than today's Chrysler T&C, but the third row seat was 9 inches wider. There are a few vehicles with third rows wide enough for three normal size adults, but for most, having three seat belts doesn't mean three adults will fit.
