The $40,000 + 499 doc fee included everything except Florida tags, taxes and title. They gave me a temporary tag while they process the paper work and send it to me. That way I did not have to pay any Georgia taxes or fees. So, yes the destination charge was already included in the $40,000+499 doc fee. It really was a great deal.

Replying to: dsatwoods (May 16, 2008 6:07 pm) You got that pricing because that was the old model being replaced. It's not uncommon at all to get below invoice pricing on a model that's on its way out the door. You can still get the original body style Nissan Murano for thousands under invoice as there are plenty still on the dealer ots.

Replying to: hpowders (May 04, 2008 8:35 am) A little late to the party here but wanted to chime in regarding your buy/lease comments. I agree with you completely, the high prices of gas and softening economy have the possibility of robbing these cars of all resale value in a relatively short period of time.   Originally I planned on purchasing our '08 MDX but ultimately opted to lease it and let American Honda Finance bear the brunt of the risk if the resale of the value tanked 3 years down the road.

Replying to: austinpower (May 16, 2008 8:04 am) does any one know if the incentives on MDX of $2000 and 0.9% would continue for the month of june? Replies to this message: hpowders (May 19, 2008 2:22 pm)

Replying to: jmpage2 (May 19, 2008 5:39 am) I am in complete agreement with you.   With so many dealers refusing to buy SUV's on trade-ins, why risk being stuck with a vehicle that could prove difficult to unload?   I would avoid the tempting $2000 market support or 0.9% financing and instead would pay a bit more interest to get an MDX lease, with the security of knowing that returning the vehicle at the end of the lease period is a sure thing. When the music stops, you don't want to be the one guy left standing without a chair. Another thing, if you check out the different sites calculating 5-8 year ownership costs, the MDX becomes one expensive vehicle!   You definitely made the smart move.

Replying to: jedi70 (May 19, 2008 10:22 am) The $2000 marketing support runs out on June 30th. The 0.9% financing ends July 7th. It is anybody's guess whether Acura will extend these incentives.

Replying to: hpowders (May 19, 2008 2:14 pm) It all depends on your driving habits. For me, I drive 18-20k miles a year. A three year lease is very expensive, not just because of miles, but because of the major maintanece expenses I would have to pay for like tires and brakes, to then give the car back to Acura? Doesn't make sense for me. Replies to this message: jmpage2 (May 19, 2008 5:30 pm) josephd05 (May 19, 2008 5:42 pm) ingvar (May 20, 2008 5:35 am) and 5 more...

Replying to: josephd05 (May 19, 2008 3:45 pm) Definitely leasing is not a good option for drivers who will put a lot of miles on a vehicle.   The best option in such cases is to hopefully be able to do a five year depreciation on the vehicle if it's a business asset and then simply replace it after it has depreciated completely.   I would actually argue that an MDX is a bad choice for someone who puts 20K miles a year on a car. The gas and maintenance costs will make it an extremely expensive proposition.
