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?

Replying to: papaharris (May 12, 2008 11:30 am) Doc fees, etc, are a classic way for a dealer to make up some profit lost during negotiations. Give the customer invoice but then hit them up with a $400-$500 documentation fee. The actual cost for the dealer to do documentation varies by state, but is often under $50. Obviously if there are tax/title/license/registration fees paid at time of sale the dealer is paying those. The $2,000 incentive paid to the dealer can't be applied for a lease, so be aware of that. It looks like it's being used to liquidate the 2008 inventory in anticipation of the 2009 which should be out in another month or two. If you can get the dealer to knock $2000 off in lieu of the 2.9% then that is the way to go as I don't believe the difference in interest will be $2,000 even if you financed the car with little or no money down. |

Replying to: josephd05 (May 12, 2008 4:22 pm) In any event when I ran the numbers, it worked out cheaper to take $2,000 in cash and do 4.9% financing than to do 2.9% financing with the same money down. |
