The deal I received from Reading Acura is true. He did not tell me all about the deal until a few days after he offered it to me. I had a deal with him on a 2003 MDX+NAV+RES for $39,000. But one other salesman sold that car to someone else. Therefore, he gave me a deal on 2004 to keep my business. When I first posted the 2004 offer, I did not know that the salesman gave me that deal because of the 2003 situation (he did not mention that). My deal came out to 40,500 for 2004 MDX+NAV+RES. Dealer's installed options are at cost. At this point, I suggest that you go through internet pricing (i.e. Edmunds), try to find Reading Acura and see what kind of prices they'll offer you. Once you get the price, call/email them and negotiate from there. Don't use my name to call them. Trust me, they did not come to me with those offers. I used my car buying experience/research to negotiate down to those prices. Hope that helps. |

After lot of calls to dealerships in RI/CT/MA/NJ/NY, Just signed the deal tonight for '04 mdx+navi with Sage Brush /Quartz in RI, I should have in 7-10 days. Many won't offer more than 500-1000 off msrp.. Price paid, 39895+150( for wheel locks,all season mats,cargo cover)+115 (Doc fee) Total price, $40009+TTL I wanted to install Side Steps, but he was charging 750 and 250 for side molding. I haven't decided on those yet. Let me know if anybody interested Cant wait to drive one.... Happy hunting... |

I'm over 50 so I don't care anymore. Ok, the real reason is that I forget to wear my glasses at the computer and overlook stuff all too often. And principals is the correct spelling; just incorrect usage. Oh well, no demerits for chat typos here.... Enjoy the new ride! Steve, Host |

You don't care about spelling just because you're over 50? What's next--black socks and shorts with sandals or perhaps doing 45 in the fast lane with your turn signal on? Just kidding... |

| Congrats on your deal and thanks for posting the details. By the way, that is where my wife bought her MDX(from and Edmunds referral), and they give excellent service. | |
| If you have not purchased the side steps and body side molding yet, try this: go to www.hondacuraworld.com and print out their accessories list. The side steps are $445, and the body side molding is $110. The shipping is free. Ask your dealer to match their price. If they refuse, you can order them online and 1. Install them yourself(they have the instructions available to print for free; or 2. Take them to the service dept and pay the normal labor charge. Call the service dept. tomorrow and ask the service manager(not the salesman) how much does he charge to install those items. My wife has a Sagebrush MDX w/those accessories. We negotiated them with our purchase and were charged $559 for the side steps(installed) and $80 for the body side molding. Good luck. | |

Just scanning the boards here I have read a few messages where are noting service discounts and offers as part of their "deal." E.g,: "includes free oil changes and 15%-20% discount on services- i havent seen the coupon book this is what the salesperson told me" FYI these exact coupon books are mailed out by dealer service departements, including competing ones, for free to all new purchasers as a way of drumming up business for highly profitable service departments. They are not in the least bit a valuable part of any "deal." At most dealers a "free oil" change doesn't include filters which they will install and I promise you will end up in total paying more than standard charges at any jiff* lub*. Just buy your vehicle for the lowest price. Unless you live in an area with one dealer within 50 miles forget all the blah blah about the service department completely. When you need service call and say: "I had a 15% discount coupon for my 15,000 mile service and I can't find it." They will easily give you that discount without any coupon. I also promise that within a cvouple of months of buying your car every dealer in the area will send you this "discount book." which is just about marketing for custoemrs in an area of the dealership that makes a huge profit. |
