Re: 40900 with 2.9%? [austinpower] by aquaacura

That's not necessary true... My base model was offered at $35,588 and $35,529 from two different dealers in Dallas (incl. $715 destination) and I ended up paying $36,517 (including destination) for my MDX Base with a 0.9% (and pretty much additional $1000 in incentives) and extra $700 + Tax savings in trade in than if I were to sell to carmax.
 
By buying out of state, you have to count the gas and mileage which I believe many owners hesitate in driving such a long road for a newly purchased MDX.
 
Even if you make a deal online and have them ship it to your home, you are talking about at least $700 in shipping door to door.

Hey guys thanks for the input....I worked it till it sweat a sweet deal...
OTD 41k
Base + TTL with
Cargo trays,All weather mats,Wheel locks,Roof rack,Sports running boards.
For the price with 2.9%,
In austin itself,so saved us a trip to Hous/Dallas/SanAnt.
Called up almost all dealers in the 4 cities and got a few e-mails assuring me of the price and Int rate which i took the dealer here and they matched it.So in the end worked the phone and had a painless closing.
Good luck all you guys.I hope i did good,then again why dint i ask for packages i am rally happy though.We got the car we wanted.

MDX Tech w/Pwr Tailgate by burgermac

Just put deposit down on a 2008 MDX Tech w/ Power Tailgate
Invoice $40901
Neg. Price $41401, less 2K dealer cash
$39401 plus dlr cost for Sport Running Boards($715) and All season mats ($109)
Qualified for the last promotional financing rate (4.9%)- (qualified for the lowest super preferred rate, but dealer cash can't be combined with 2.9%)- payment is the same with invoice 2.9 or invoice less 2k at 4.9- figured it's better to owe less on the car overall.
Dealer is in Memphis- they've figured out that it'll cost anyone about $500 between gas, car rental, plane ticket, whatever, to get to Atlanta, St.Louis, etc., and drive the car back here, so that's how much they marked it up over invoice.
Makes sense to do the deal since we'll be getting it serviced at the dealer we bought from, etc. Already bought a 07 TL from them- worked that deal same way.
 
Atlanta dealers (Ed Voyles Acura) generally deal at invoice and will offer the 2k dealer cash fairly readily. St. Louis wants to keep about $700, offering you about $1300 of the dealer cash (so deal would be $1300 under invoice)
 
Dealers seem to have a lot of MDXs right now with more arriving daily. People seem to be interested in the power tailgate option, so you may be able to work an attractive deal on an existing inventory unit without that option (standalone option became available mid year). The 2009 TL drops this fall and most dealers want to move as much volume as they can to get a good allocation of TLs when they start arriving. Use this to your advantage when negotiating.

are you researching the purchase of a car or did you pilfer your dad's laptop so you could act like a jerk in a forum designed for intelligent adults?
 
Eventually most luxury automobiles will have a power actuated tailgate, so this feature will make the car appear "newer" to a future buyer, or had you not heard of resale value?

but you seem to be the one encouraging people to go after the non-power tailgate option as a strategy for getting a good deal. or am i missing something here?

It's a feature I could easily live without. We have it on my wife's 2004 RX330 and don't use it very often - it's much quicker to open it manually.

My message was intended to show offense at your referring to users of a power tailgate as pu**ies. There's no reason for insinuating anything like that about a total stranger. If you or anyone else wants to debate the merits of a power tailgate, I'm sure there's a more appropriate forum for such a debate, though I am also pretty sure it's not the Prices Paid and Buying Experience forum. You are correct that I advocated buying a vehicle without one- for someone looking for some extra bargaining power when negotiating. I wanted a vehicle right off of the delivery truck, as opposed to one with all the dealer add-ons- freshly delivered vehicles tend to have the power tailgate option. But that's the whole point- this forum is about getting the best deal, not whether of not a particular option is worthwhile.

Best deal on Tech + Ent package by papaharris
May 12, 2008 (11:30 am)
Reply
Hi everyone. I'm new to this thread, but so far, I have found the information phenomenal. Thanks to everyone! I think I'm going to make the Acura MDX my first car purchase.
 
From what I can gather, the national base invoice price for the tech + ent package is $41683 (w/o destination charge).
 
And currently there is $2000 dealer incintive making the true invoice price $39683.
 
I have a few questions, is the dealer actually charged $715 (destination charge)?
 
Should I try to negotiate on document fees and other dealer fees or should I even have to pay any of this administrative stuff?
 
What should be a good price OTD?
 
I am in Greenville, SC, but I think to get the best deal, I'm going to need to go Atlanta.
 
I'm thinking:
 
$39683 + $715 (destination fee) + $400 TTL = $40,800 OTD should be what I'm shooting for.
 
Any comments or suggestions?
