| I used the donkeypunch method to contact 10 dealers in the 50 mile radius yesterday. I got quotes from 9 dealers. Then I told most of them the best quote I had seen so far. They all said that I should take that deal. The only problem is that the lowest quote I got was from a dealer for the memorial day weekend whom I did not include in the above 10 dealers that I contacted yesterday. The email from the dealer said that the quote was valid only until 5/26. Since no dealer is willing to match that price I am thinking that I hit the bottom as far as quote goes. Now, how should I approach the dealer who gave me the lowest quote that expired on 5/26 and get him to sell me at that price? His natural response is going to be "Oh, that quote is not valid anymore! But if you want to buy from us today, here's the price." Any thoughts? | |

I am hoping to purchase an MDX with Tech Pkg. within the next month in the Washington DC area. I stopped by Chevy Chase Acura and have had a good experience so far. I hope to avoid having to deal with multiple salespeople/dealerships in order to get bids. The dealership has offered me the MDX Tech w/o the power tailgate at $38,402 (invoice is $40,402 so invoice - $2K incentive). Plus, tax license, etc. Plus about $799 for running boards installed (full price, it seems). Does anyone have comps in the MD/VA area? I hope to stay near home unless I can save significantly. I will not be financing. Very much appreciate your thoughts. |

I used Costco to get a quote on a 2008 Acura MDX tech/entertainment. The price is $40,398 plus $500 off if I buy by end of month (tomorrow). Tax, title, registration and destination is $3,989. Total OTD is $43,887. The only dealer accessory is wheel locks which is included in the price above. Is this a good deal or not? Also, accessories seem a bit high. This is what he quoted me: - Roof Rails and Cross Bars $700 - Backup Sensors w/ Attachment $1,100 (you can buy parts for $523.80) - Body Side Molding $150 I found a 6 year/120K mile with zero deductible extended warranty for $1,350 through AcuraPartsSuperStore.com. Can I get the accessories installed cheaper? I'm ready to buy tomorrow. |

After talking with three DFW-area Acura dealers, here's the deal I just signed for a 2008 MDX w/ Tech and Entertainment plus body side molding and roof rails: 36-month lease, 12,000 miles/yr, all costs, fees and taxes rolled into the lease payments (tax rate in TX is 6.25%), lease payment = $680/month. The only payment I made when I signed the lease was the first payment. Contrary to what I have read on here, I saw no indication that they were having trouble moving these gas guzzlers. That may be because DFW's economy is strong due to the oil & gas industry's strength. |

Great to read the postings. Thanks. In process of buying MDX with Navi..according to older posts - (6 months) - appears that prices were at Invoice then. Now, with $2,000 incentive should be Invoice less $2,000? Appears that dealer will give $2,000 or the low .9% financing - not both. Observations while shopping. I only went to one dealer. Very attentive and somewhat aggressive. I never gave my last name, but they must have done a lookup on my license plate...Sales Mgr called me at home and received a personalized letter, etc. I was turned off by that and would have preferred that they just ask for the correct spelling of my last name, address, etc. I talked about reading reviews on Internet, comparing models, etc. I think the dealer was deflated - almost like..lf you go out for quotes, we probably won't get your business anyway. If the dealer closest to my house is within $500...probably go w. them. I was waiting for the 09 Pilot before making decision. In person it is more acceptable than the pictures. However, I don't like that everything is bigger and it actually led me more to MDX. (already have a minivan) I am still waiting to ensure I want to spend $40K+ on a low MPG SUV. I can not believe the amount of Inventory at dealers. I think incentives will no where but up.

Replying to: comet123 (May 31, 2008 4:20 am) The Pilot is very well thought out, in my view. With a car seat on passenger side second row, I need to crawl into the back seat of the MDX. The Pilot allows entrance on both sides. I want to buy the MDX for all the luxuries but logic is beginning to take me in another direction. Curious what you end up doing. |

Has anyone ever try to get quotes from overstock.com. I got a quote from them for a Tech + Power TailGate pkg for $1500 under invoice. And that's not even including the $2k incentive. So total would be $3500 under invoice (of course I won't be getting the finance deal). Just wondering if I can get even lower than the overstock price? And does anyone have any experience taking overstock quote to different dealer to match the price? Thanks.

Replying to: foogle (Jun 02, 2008 8:37 am) I got mine for $7500 under MSRP which was $37,400 which probably was a few hundred under invoice.
