I just bought a 08 Tech/Ent today from Regal in Lakeland, Fl.. Paid $500 over invoice (42898 w/ dest. charges), with free mudflaps, Acura floor mats, wheel locks, cargo liner and full tank of gas.... I had emailed Regal last night, and was on my way to another dealer that had quoted me $200 more, when Rita called me on my cell, and told me that I could have the exact color/etc. that I was looking for at $500 over invoice, Made a U turn... and had NO hassle or problems period once i got there! Nice dealer to deal with, none of the usual BS..

Sounds like we are having the exact same experience. I'm disenchanted at this point. The kicker is that all of the dealers have a ton of stock. I'm going to wait at least a month and see if Acura offers up some new incentives or if the dealers feel the quarter end crunch and start playing ball.

I bought mine from Tischer Acura in Laurel. The sale guy I dealt with was Robert Luu. He was assigned to me by the internet manager when I first contacted them via e-mail.
 
The bottomline is I paid invoice price for tech/ent, plus "free" all season mats. But I paid full price ($300) for the bodyside molding (installed). I didn't try hard to negotiate at all. I told them I knew what deals other people were getting from their competitors and I didn't need to have the best deal but I wanted a decent deal. They knew I was well informed and I knew exactly what I wanted. We agreed on the price through just two e-mails.
 
I told them I would only buy one before the the sales tax hike took effect on Jan 1. They said no problem. But it took them longer than they thought to find the exact one with the color (silver/taupe)/option combo so they had to swallow the $430 increase in tax. They dealt with the situation gracefully. I bought an MDX from them in 2002 at MSRP. How time has changed, it's only the beginning of 2008 and they are willing to sell the 2008 model at invoice price.

Hi Wcd1 and Harmstrong,
 
I am in Boston area and looking for Acura08 Tech/Enter too. Followed all post for several weeks. Seems price is getting down in some states. I am going to wait for lower and fare offers in several month. It is worth to wait due to this chilly econormic situation forseeing. Is it worth to get a descent offer from the dealers outside MA? Like Maryland can offer an invoice as just posted.Please keep me posted if you guys get any offer around. I am looking for something close to invoice.

Thanks to this board, and Jim specifically, I closed a deal for this same configuration and price ($42,485) for my new Tech/Ent. That was it - no other fees. I got a Nimbus Grey/Taupe MDX, that my dealer acquired via a trade. I bought from Jones Acura in Lancaster, PA, however they immediately matched the price that I was also offered from Jim's dealer (Pohanka Acura in Chantilly, VA). Jones knew I was working on another deal and agreed to the price in about 30 seconds. No negotiations needed.
 
Made the deal last Saturday and picked it up yesterday.

Hello
I also have tried going out of state for the tech and entertainment pkge.
 I tried Milford CT acura and the price was the same as I could get from Herb Connolly too expensive 43900 so why bother? Inskip in Rhode Island was the same thing same price..
 I have been telling these dealers that we need to be as close to invoice with our trade to make the payments work and Acura Boston like I mentioned dropped his price 3 dollars.. makes me want to run and buy right?It shows they have 80 MDX's in stock.Telling me free inspection stickers for life and service and so on big deal I am paying for all of that in the inflated price.
 I believe if the price comes down I will deal with Prime even though Herb Connolly is right up the road. As the woman that I have been dealing with doesn't seem slimy as the rest.I haven't visited the dealership yet so that may change when we do.
I'll be posting more on this as I'm sure I'll get bombarded with calls this week saying we can do better and so forth.
I'll let you know Frank08 thanks

I don't think the imminent recession has really sunk in to the dealers heads quite yet. I have just started shopping in the Boston area. At this point I'm not going to even talk deals until after Presidents day. Normally a big sales weekend for car dealers, I hope if their numbers are not meeting forecasts they will get scared into some better deals. I do note that NO Acura dealers even bother advertising in the Boston Globe. Not a good sign for potential buyers, and judging by the number of MDX's on the road around here they may be doing just fine.

Bugati
 
I bought from Ed Martin in Indianapolis. They actually had this car with the said accessories already on it because they took it to the local auto show. Because the accessories were already installed they could cut a whole lot more off the cost of the add-ons.
 
The 19" chrome wheels are wrapped in the Michelin Latitudes. Slightly harder of a ride than the stock wheels, but not much.
 
And the $42.5 included destination.
