foogle, are you 100% sure the $2,000 dealer incentive isn't already included?

I am not 100% sure because I haven't try it yet. (Won't ready to shop until next week) I am based on what overstock says on their quote, "Does not include incentives. Make sure that your dealer includes all applicable incentives when calculating your price."

Overstock quoted me $500 over invoice in my area (NC). They say no incentives are available.
 
With that said, I do not think you can get the MDX for $3,500 under invoice. I went to a few places today and my wife took another look at the MDX and liked it better. Didn't have time to crunch the numbers but they said they could not combine the $2,000 rebate and the special financing.
 
I will probably try to forgo the special financing and try to get the lowest price possible. I have no doubt invoice + destination - $2,000 will be easy to obtain ($35,229), it's just a question of how much more I can try to get off.

Just pruchased 2008 MDX Tech with PTG by seawolf21

Purchased on MAY 31 in NYC. Vehicle is $38,846. Out the door $42,361.85.
After factoring in the $2000 dealer cash, the car is 1,492 below invoice (Invoice should be $40187 plus $715 destination).
 
Needed backup camera. Was considering 2008 Pilot EX with Navi, Highlander Limited, MDX, and X5. 08 Pilot was $10K cheaper than Highlander and MDX but couldn't find stock. X5 camera seems to suck at night. That left the Highlander Limited and MDX. Toyota packages the Limited with Nav (wanted large LCD for camera) with the DVD in the NY area so the difference between it and the MDX was under $2K. Picked MDX due to better safety ratings and because everyone's got a Highlander here.
 
The was my first time buying a car. If you don't do your homework, you will get fleeced. I got bids from 6 or 7 dealers. Highest bid was $6,000 more. Carsdirect won't give you the lowest price but if you don't want to do your homework, it's a good place to buy a car.

Hi,
 
I got a quote for a 08 MDX with tech pkg for $38,402.63. out of door price is 39.5k. Sounds like a good deal from what i have seen so far. Have not discussed the financing yet with this dealer.
 
thanks

overstock is $38902 so it looks like your are ahead. Out door price seems too low....because it's only 3% more than the vehicle price. Where are you located and what's the sales tax rate there?

Tech package's invoice on edmunds is $39,688 + 715 destination which equals $40403. Take the $2,000 rebate off and you essentially have your offer of $38,403, so the dealer is trying to pull a fast one on you about "not charging destination." That's a non-negotiable, required fee so buyers will pay for it somewhere.
 
That's all logistics anyway, regardless, I think invoice - rebate is a solid deal as most posts recently seem to be a few hundred above that price. I'm interested to see if anybody can get into the holdback for an MDX.

I agree with hdog16. "not charging destination" is bogus. "Dealer's cost" is currently $38403. This includes destination minus the $2000 dealer cash.
 
At the end of the day, it's all a numbers game. Invoice price doesn't really matter...one dealer can offer it below invoice but nail you on dealer fees while another will charge you a higher vehicle price and not charge you any additional fees. For example, I just purchased a 2008 MDX Tech with Power Tailgate five days ago. One dealer was "offering" a part of the holdback and the $2k dealer cash, but had DMV and doc fees of $405. The dealer I went with was only giving me part of the dealer cash but only charged $262 in DMV and doc fees. Another one charged even more for the vehicle but only charged $227 in DMV and doc fees.
 
What you should really do is get out the door quotes from several dealerships for comparision. You should also get quotes from carsdirect.com and overstock.com.

Is $47345.54 OTD a good deal? I am planning to get the MDX Sport/Ent. package and the $2000 cash to dealer is already deducted. Any comment is appreciated.
