You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
Just signed the papers on a 2008 Acura MDX with Tech and Power Tailgate Package ($45,005 MSRP & $40,946 Invoice) for $36,075 + ttl from Acura of Libertyville in Libertyville, IL. I had a trade-in but you can get that price without the trade-in. I got the price before the trade-in then negotiated on the trade. I could have got it cheaper by a few more dollars ($200 - $400) but I thought I'll let them make some money  ! Email me (abhmal  gmai.com) and I can give you the salesman's name (let him know Abhay send you). They have more than 30 2008 Acura MDX in stock. This dealership has no other dealerships (the owner actually approved my deal since "the other guy" was out for lunch) and therefore I believe they are willing to negotiate and make a deal more so than other big chain dealers. No other dealer (Continental, Muller, Napleton, Pauly, Arlington, Joe Rizza or McGrath) the Chicago area was even close to this price (all were at least $1,000+ apart). They all even warned me that I was being lied too. |

Car_man: sure, will do. gohawks2: my friend bought his MDX at Lynnwood a year ago, and that's why I went there first. It was late so we didn't find the guy that he worked with. |

Didn't mix the accessories in this mix. That is where they make most of their money as their markup on those are pretty high. You can buy most of them off the market. I thought you were looking for MDX with Tech, PTG and Ent?. Did you get any accessories at all?. You might want to look into Wheel Locks atleast, worth the money. Did you also get the financing as part of the deal or you paid in cash?. Contrary to some of the opinions I see in this board, I love my PTG. I got 2 kids and we always carry all kinda crap and it is easy to ask them put it and pick it back up rather than I walk their every time to lift the gate. So far the only negative thing about MDX is ofcourse the mileage (I got about 19miles/gallon on a full tank of gas). Yup, already have about 400 miles on it within a week, ouch. You also need to fill in premium gas at higher prices. But the ride is sweet . You will love it.

Replying to: scepter (Sep 04, 2008 6:10 am) Forgot add PTG to the post below" it wasn't a mistake - you didn't add PTG for a reason - it is a lousy, useless option. Go with your gut and ditch the PTG! |

Replying to: lovecars4 (Sep 04, 2008 3:17 pm) I paid cash and did not take any financing. Chicago dealers have about 200 MDX in stock and will sell out with these amazing prices. To anyone in Chicago, no other dealer is going to give the price I got. I consider myself a pretty good at bargaining and none would even come close to this deal (unless the incentives improve further - which is unlikely). |

Replying to: scepter (Sep 05, 2008 5:25 am) I would buy rather than lease at that price unless you plan to write it off as an expense or can't fund that big amount at a low interest rate (I recommend using credit card offers at 0% to fund car buying, do it over and over again and you get your car financed at really 0% APR - of course you need to have sold credit history to get high lines on multiple cards ). P.S: Never pay anything down on a lease always choose "zero" down especially when the money factor is below 3% APR and secondly if you are in an accident within a few months of buying (God forbid) the insurance company pays off the lease company and you are left with no car. Your down payment is lost since it only reduces the monthly payment and you do not get it back. |

Replying to: amalpani (Sep 04, 2008 2:58 pm) Tried to email you without success (mail bounced back). I'm in the Chicagoland area, and looking at getting a 2008 MDX with Tech pkg. Could you please email (siddiqm yahoo.com) me your salesperson's contact at Acura Libertyville?
