I paid like $1,000 over invoice in Orlando with a lease and some other junk. Did I get the best deal possible? Probably not. Do I care? Not really. $10-20 over the life of the lease doesn't matter. Mine has Tech and running boards.

Finance through Non Honda Finance by pinupgirl

Hello, I'm buying an MDX soon but I have a question.
If I want to do finance thru other banks than honda finance (if the bank provides the lower interest rate than 4.9% for 60 months), is it possible to buy an MDX with finance from the bank, with keeping the price quote I got from Acura? Again, when an Acura dealer offeres a quote, are they assuming that I'm getting finance thru Honda Finance?
For those of you who bought an MDX, did you guys get finance from Honda Finance? Honestly I haven't looked into other bank's loan, but 4.9% for 60 months is good compared to other banks?

I got mine through Honda Finance because you lease. When you work the deal, you negotiate price first and then financing. They may assume you are going to go through them, but you don't have to. You should go with whomever gives you the best rate.
 
4.9% is pretty good. I can't see many banks beating that.

The price you negotiate should be completely independant of how you finance the car. The dealer doesn't get any say in who writes the check ultimately whether it's Honda Finance or another bank.
 
As Tyler said though it would be pretty unusual for a bank to be able to beat 4.9% for 60 months or 2.9% for 36 months.

mechanic5, did you lease or purchase this vehicle? Just to clarify, you paid $41,000 for the Tech and Entertainment Packages? That seems like a pretty good deal. I am heading there this week. Would like the Sport Package but I definitely want at least the Tech Package.

Mechanic 5 - can you tell me the terms of your lease (if you leased it)? Was the MSPR $46,610? Did you have any money down and what were your final monthly payments (including tax)?
 
I was looking at one yesterday (tech pkg w/ liftgate, no ENT pkg) and they want $647/mo with $1425 paid at signing (includes 1st mo, security, tax, title, etc.) Salesman was telling me MSPR is $44910 and selling price is $41500 with 0.000197 money factor and residual value of $25,177.60.
 
I am a single woman and have never negotiated a lease deal before, so I always worry they are taking advantage of me!! Unfortunately, I'm not sure how everyone is getting all their numbers (Cap cost, cap cost reduction, etc.) - are dealers willing to give you these numbers if you ask them? Is there another way to acquire them? It's all a little overwhelming! Help!!

I got the same quote on this vehicle - thought it seemed high too. I am in PA. Did they give you monthly payment info with 0 down?

can you be a bit more specific about what you mean by "and some other junk"?

Junk = window etching, premium tire package and full maintenance on car and roadside assistance. My impression is they act like they "give" this to you but in reality this is standard on every car they sell. When I was talking to them I told them I didn't want any of that stuff, but they gave it to me anyway. I'm sure the costs are baked in somewhere.
 
They did not do the protection package scam (all weather mats and tire locks) which was like $500+ at other places.
 
They did hit me with a $500 acquisition fee for the lease which also includes gap insurance to cover any difference in value of car and value on lease in the event of an accident. I don't know if that is a real cost or if I got scammed. AT this point, it doesn't matter and at least I'm covered.
 
I'm certainly not the model bare bones buyer.

Tech package does not come with power lift gate so it sounds like you are buying a Tech package car.
 
Invoice on Tech package is $39,688 + $715 destination charge... or around $40,400.
 
You would be paying $700 over invoice which if no other dealer charges are thrown in (paperwork charge, protection packages and other sources of dealer profit) is a good deal.
