you should LEASE THEN BUY......... this is from Auotweek..... it seems it is better to lease THEN buy rather then buy.... I am looking at a MDX and I am on the fence too lease or buy, but this might make me lease: FROM AUTOWEEK: "If you thought $4 per gallon was a hit to the wallet, wait until hundreds of thousands of off-lease sport/utility vehicles are returned to dealerships. That's when the whammy of inflated residual values of off-lease sport/utes will hammer the market. According to Oregon-based CNW Research, with some 800,000 truck-based sport/utility vehicles coming off lease this year, residual values projected three and four years ago will be missed by as much as $6,000 per unit. Whom will this hurt? Those who lend the money--banks, credit unions, car companies' captive finance arms and others who write leases--will face a tab of nearly $5 billion just in 2008. That number rises to $5.24 billion in '09 and $4.74 billion at the end of the decade. The only slight potential benefit to consumers is that they can buy their leased vehicles for bargain prices; experts predict that only 20 percent will do so. You don't need a research firm to tell you that sport/ute residuals have plummeted. Go to Kelly Blue Book and see what a two-year-old V8-powered Chevrolet Suburban or Toyota Land Cruiser will run you. A 2008 Suburban 2500 with a 6.0-liter V8, four-wheel drive, automatic transmission and leather sells new for $43,235; a two-year-old model with 24,000 miles in excellent condition can be yours for less than $20,000. A new-generation 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser with a 5.7-liter V8 that gets 13 mpg city and 18 mpg highway runs for $64,785; a two-year-old model similarly equipped goes for between $34,120 and $35,975, depending on its condition

Replying to: getnewmdx (Jun 13, 2008 2:49 pm) There are very good deals going on in the bayarea. You can get it for $2K below invoice (without special financing). I bought the MDX with Tech and power liftgate. I am pretty happy with my purchase. Email me if you need more details.

Effectively agreed to deal on MDX with Tech/Ent for $40,125 (before tax, tags, etc). Also, getting financing at 4.64%. Seems good considering combination of price and financing. Also getting the sport running boards and roof rack/cross rails for an additional $930, which is I believe cost. Any thoughts?

Replying to: mark196 (Jun 18, 2008 1:11 pm) $930 for sport running boards and roof rack/cross rails including labor is a very good price. I am not sure how much is the cost, but these 3 things are usually take time to install. |

| So I'm trying to seal up a deal here in So Cal for a base MDX and now the dealer is telling me his finance price is over $1000 higher than his cash price. WTF? Anyone else come across this? | |

I posted the message below previously in another forum, but have had no leads. Therefore, I am trying now in a higher traffic area to see what others may know. A few years ago, I thought I read a post that stated that dealers will sale the "Certified" warranty to existing Acura owners. My MDX just passed the 45k mile mark and I would be interested in finding out if I can get Acura Certification. Maybe I dreamed it, as now I cannot find any postings related to that discussion. However, I seem to recall that it was $500, but a dealer in VA was selling it for about half that. If anyone happens to know, I would be very appreciative of information one way or the other.
