It doesn't matter. Ask for the total sales price plus destination, and negotiate on that amount. Who cares where you save money? If you are only comparing dealers within the same state, use total cost, including taxes and fees. That way, you can even take into account differences in doc. fees, etc.

I got my 04 Black Touring today by rsirigin

I am all excited about the new car. Can't wait to take that for a long ride, will probably do that this weekend and then share more thoughts with you all.
 
Money wise, here is my experience with the dealership.
 
MSRP - $39794 (including window tint and wheel locks)
Sales tax - 8.1%
Documentation fee - $164.50
TTL - 670.50 (Yes, in Arizona we pay a lot for the registration)
AZ Tire fee - $5
 
I was able to negotiate the price down to $40600 on the road price. This turns out to be $2800 below MSRP (courtesy: Costco and my negotiations on top of the Costco member's price).
 
I think I did good with the price and more than all that, I am happy I finally got the MDX I wanted.

metmdx: This discussion board recommends that we don't use the names for dealerships in the messages. You can send me an email at rsirigineediyahoo.com and I can get you those details.
 
Yes, I did go to other dealerships but worked with only the Internet sales guys.

Actually it's fine to name dealers and their locations. See the blurb at the top.
 
It's posting names of individuals that leads to shilling.

It is Bell Acura in Phoenix, AZ. I have had a very easy time dealing with the Internet sales rep. there and she is very prompt with responding to emails and phone calls.
 
Pros about this dealership:
- Very easy to work with
- Low documentation fees
- Not many forced extras (relatively low)
- The paper work process took less than 1 hour
 
Cons:
- Sales team behaved very unprofessional with me and my wife (this happened a couple of months back when I was negotiating with them for a 03 MDX). I have already called the Acura personal department to give a piece of mind about that sales manager there, not sure how much impact that would be. That is when I decided I won't deal with the sales reps directly.
 
I have also worked with the Tempe Acura folks a bit.
 
Pros:
- Brand new dealership, good ambience
- Proximity (at least for me)
 
Cons:
- Higher prices for the extras. They marked the window tint at $299 whereas the Bell Acura marked it at $149.
- Higher documentation fee ($299 compared to $164 at Bell Acura)
- I was OK with the higher prices and still wanted to purchase the vehicle from them because of its proximity to both my work place and home. I searched through the live inventories at each dealership and that is when I found that "my MDX" is available at Bell Acura. I notified this to the Internet sales rep at Tempe Acura but he really didn't follow-up on that. Infact, he wanted me to wait till December to get "my mDX". I will give him low marks just because of this.
 
Anyways, that is all I can think of. Do let me know about your experiences and good luck!

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of Tempe Acura
(it's not even listed on Acura.com yet - at least a week or so ago).
I travel to Phoenix alot so it wouldn't be a stretch to get an "X" there. I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks for the info.

2004 MDX from Reading Acura in PA by kvfhg by mdwnb

Hi, I was wondering how on earth you got that. I am in Miami and those dealers are barely budging. I got an internet sales manager to quote me a purchase price on a touring $ 37, 899 + tax, tag, and fees. They are still making big money. He quoted a lease for 39 months, 15k/yr,$ 1, 500 due at signing the monthly is $ 515 + tax. Go 48 months the touring is $ 482 + tax. I do not know how else to get them down because at the dealers.....they play hard ball at MSRP. I was willing to go up to Orlando, FL if the pricing is better there. Haven't been able to get internet pricing in that area yet. Not many Acura dealers participating in Florida. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Extended Warranty by cmp1960

Trying to craft a deal that includes an extended warranty. Can anyone tell me what a good price for an Acura 7yr/100K, no deductible, runs for a 2004 MDX with NAV? or if there are any authorized Acura websites that sell the warranties at a deep discount.
 
Also, for the 2004, has anyone noticed how the rims seemed to have a flat look to them?
