| Last week I bought a new MDX base model for 35650 + tax in Detroit MI. Though I never liked the dealer, it was my nearest dealer. So I had to take it. I am hoping the deal was an OK deal and I haven't given away money to teh dealer. | |

I bought Acura MDX with Tech. package in Atlanta for $40k including all the junk fees (dealer, doc, etc.) + tax/tag/title, plus got 0.9% finincing for 36 month. Without the financing the price would be $38k. Hope this helps someone. Watch out for doc fees

I just came back from a visit at a local Acura dealer in NJ looking for an MDX. I saw one white base model which is exactly what I wanted. He asked me to quote him a price that I am willing to pay, he will take it to his manager and let me know if he agrees with it or not. Now I am in a dilemma about how much to offer him and still feel that I got a good deal. I want four year bumper to bumper warranty plus an extended 7-year/100,000 miles power train warranty. Can anyone here help me with my problem. I would really like to buy this car but don't want to sound too cheap to make a very low offer which will be rejected, but at the same time I want to get a real good deal. From the experience of many MDX buyers here what do you think should be a good price to offer (including all the junk fees, like destination chgs, doc fees etc.,) Of course I will have to pay 7% state sales tax on top of whatever we agree upon. So, I need some help in coming up with a good dollar number to offer him; I promised him I will be back in a couple of days with an offer. Please help!!! Thanks very much for any insights in this matter. Harish Chandra

I would offer a few hundred below what you calculate for invoice minus the correct rebate. In other words get into their holdback some and offer that. Some people in this forum have been able to get into the holdback, so it can be done. Depending on your patience level, you can work the dealer by walking out, using the dealers to bid against each other, etc. Supply should be over demand (although I've heard that MDX's still sell well in some parts of NJ) so don't let the dealer make you think these are flying off the lots like a Prius. Bottom line you should feel like you got a good deal if you can get the car for invoice minus the rebate, plus or minus a few hundred bucks. If nothing else ask them to throw in some accessories, that's what I did when we were only a few hundred apart in numbers. Others will probably have better suggestions, but either way good luck!

Replying to: chandra0102 (Jul 08, 2008 9:07 pm) Does that mean mid-August? The deal I went to said the 2009's will not be here until late November at the earliest, probably Dec. I have been doing some shopping, appears to be a ton of 2008's on the lot. thanks! |

Replying to: whsu (Jul 08, 2008 11:33 pm) I took the Special Financing at 0.9% for 36 months and keep my money in my Money Market earning 3%. The saving in interest over 36 months is approximately $3,000. |
