Of all the NINE Acura stores in the Chicagoland area (and you can through the TWO WIsconsin area stroes too) only Rizza Acura in Orland Park would "get with the program" and relaize that I was NOT going to pay MSRP -- dealers inTX were EAGER to sell for even less, but with two kids under two years old, I really didn't feel like ruining my weekend with a l_o_n_g drive nor did I feel good about handing hundreds of dollars over to "auto transport" drivers... Rizza give me a very nice deal, took my trade for a fair price and behaved very well. Before you forget over MSRP at ony other dealer you ought to give 'em a shot. |

| I have an offer from a dealer for a 2003 MDX with Navigation only in Sage for $39,000. The dealer isn't providing any special financing or accessories. Is this a good price given that the 2004s are coming? | |

hi there, i was wondering what dealer you got that deal from for 35900 +++, i was looking for something similar. you can email me at anuppanjwani thanks anup |

IF (and this is a big if) the dealer has no one else "lined up" for that MDX I would wait. They won't have to come down, as there probably will be some increase in price for the 2004s, but they alos have some nice upgrades/changes. Worst case the 2003 will NOT get more expensive BUT it might get sold and then you'd be stuck waiting for an 04 -- youcan walk a fine line between letting the dealer know that you WOULD buy the 03 "for the right price" and having to come back to the same dealer for an 04... |

| MSRP is not yet available. So, the price is MSRP less $500 plus free cargo net, cargo cover and mats and a few other service type goodies. I called or emailed 10 dealers within 500 miles. None would talk about discounts except the one I visited locally (CT). Dealers have production schedules and the vehicle that I ordered is expected the 3rd week in October. No color charts are available yet for the two new colors. | |

Thanks for the reply. If you were me, what price would you say is a good deal right now? The salesman mentioned that they had a potential buyer before me but their credit fell through. Also, the salesperson called me yesterday and indicated that the sales manager wants to move all cars. He wants me to come back in and meet with the manager to see how they can make the car "more affordable" for me. Advice. Thanks again. |

Is to let them "speak first". If you are non-commital in terms of what is a "magic number" one theory says that the dealers will then tend to cut deeper than if you said "for $38,500 I'll sign right NOW... Personally I doubt that most dealers would let go of MDXs at invoice. (I might be wrong, they do get "holdback" that makes even invoice profitable, and if they have vehicles sitting around collecting dust, they have to finance that cost...) I would think that any dealer (well maybe that the spoiled rich guys in San Francisco Bay area) would be happy to sell for $2500 over invoice, that would be about $1500 under MSRP. With the model year ending I would goes that they might halve their "over", almost doubling your savings to slightly less than $3000 off MSRP. If you are exceptionally good at the "poker face" strategy as I first suggested then you might do much better... Good Luck! |

Hi, We have a quote from a dealership in CT for a 2003 Acura MDX Touring w/ Navigation of $39,000. Is this a good price, or should I go for a 2004 model? Also, we looked at the Honda Pilot, and we can order a 2004 model with Leather and Navigation around $33,000. These two SUVs are very similar. Is it worth the price difference? Very importantly, do you have any idea how much the difference in resale value would be bw. these two in 3 years. Most likely, we are going to lose more with the MDX than the Pilot. Any ideas? I can't do much research about the resale value since these are both fairly new to the market. Thanks. |
