Anything lower is just gravy, it's nice if you can find a dealer willing to sell that low. I would offer in that range, but don't expect all dealers to be willing to go into holdback. And if you can only get a dealer a few hundred within your goal, it's up to you to decide how much more you want to haggle. -If you can wait and are flexible on colors, then do so, if you have to have a certain color+trim line, then I would watch inventories of local dealers, if they have 2-3 in the type you want, then you can wait, if they only have one, then you might want to pull the trigger. -Finally, I originally was shopping for the base model, but with the rebate I decided to upgrade to tech package (and got the PTG since they had it in the color I wanted fresh off the truck). I would advise you to upgrade if you can budget it from the base model. The navigation works well, and the rear camera is crucial because rear visibility isn't the greatest in these vehicles. -Good luck! |

hodog16 - thanks for all of your thoughts - the more information and advice I consider the better! Chd - I honestly don't know about pricing for the base model, since I have only been pricing the MDX with the tech package. I agree with hodog16 - the back up camera and navigation system are fantastic in the car and well worth it if you can swing it. I am not going for the PTG, unless it gets to the point where inventory is low and my options are limited. Good luck!

Does anyone know when 09 will be available? I'd like to wait to get a better deal if wait time is about a month.

Replying to: doug09 (Jul 23, 2008 6:20 pm) 1. like hotdog said, if you need a car, have the means and are getting invoice minus incentive, it's a good deal. That being said, i've been putting off this mdx purchase for the wife for the past 2 years, every year the same dealers here from me and then i disappear into the woodwork b/c nobody would really deal at my price point, which was invoice, until the gas "crisis" hit. so yes, time is definitely on your side when it comes to cars and gas guzzlers. 2. there are more than a few dealerships in MA/NH/RI area who have 150 mdx's just sitting on their lots - with the 2009 already advertised on acura's side, you dont' have to have 1/8 of a brain to figure out who's going to give way in a negotiation. 3. like i've said before, you need to figure out what you want to pay, then start the ball rolling by calling the dealership. you'll never really know what the market will take if you don't do some of the legwork. if you think you'd be cool paying $500 below invoice, email a dealer and say so - it really can't hurt. 4. if any of you MA folks need help, let me know. Acura of Boston is where i got my car. Prime Acura also offered close to the price i paid but without the color combo selection. |

Hello everyone, Thank you for the great input. I appreciate it greatly. If it was not for you guys, I would not even thought about putting in the price point that I did. I will try to see if I can get a deal on the Tech package. I do like the back up camera. Nav- system, I prefer the portable. I will let you guys know how I do. I hope to get it this weekend. I hope my experience will help someone else just as your posts have helped me. |
