Replying to: normdx (Sep 27, 2008 9:00 am) Thanks for the info. I got about the same deal as you a few days ago at Acura of Lynnwood. I agree with your assumption about the location of where you are buying the car. Acura's are extremely popular in the PNW, so I can't see us Pacific Nortwesterners getting $35.5K for an MDX with Tech and PTG like some people were saying on here. Love the car so far. The MPG is not good, but what can you expect from a 4500lb car with 300 hp and all-time all-wheel drive? For those who want to save money on gas, buy a Prius and quit your whining.

I've noticed a wide variety of pricing. To be clear, tax and license or OTD price shouldn't be included since states vary in the amounts charged. I've also noticed some had "dealer fees". In our city, some dealers had "adjusted market value". That's a bunch of bs. That POS Acura of Las Vegas wanted $608 in "fees", and they had the nerve to say it was low. I was going to do most of the paperwork for them out of state. My bottom line was $33,045 for the base and $35,845 for the tech. That includes destination charges and doc fees but no tax and license. Plus I had the choice of .9 or 2.9% financing. |

The bad thing is that dealerships hate them and will deny any warranty claim associated with the filter. You can fight that in court but $$$. I keep my stock air filter and exchange it anytime i would have to bring my vehicles in for service. |

Thank you all for your very valuable suggestions and sharing the experience. I finally pulled my trigger for 08 MDX in Houston area yesterday (sept 30th) and I think it was an excellent deal compared to what I had beed receiving for last 1 month (texas somehow is little more expensive that others...so funny!). Tech+Ptg cost me $36,455+$50fee+6.25%state Tax+2.9% financing! The price also included tinted glass, wheel locks and mats (no added cost). The whole process was very smoot as I mostly did thru email/phone. Very nice people to deal with as well. As I heard that special incentives will be good thru October as well for all 08s- the only problem could be finding the color you like. Here is my two cents: 1. Please check the inventories of all the dealers. This is important. Tech and base is most common and easy one to make a deal. 2. As part of first negotiation, check invoice price - rebates - 2% hold back. This should your first point to start with. 3. If the price cannot get lower anymore (and you are more or less happy) ask to add some accessories. That's how I did. My asking price was 36,050 and they couldn't go below $36,400..so I asked them to add those accessories. Most of the time, to have a good reputation/relation they will do that. I just requested them if they can help me and they seem to do that w/o haggling anymore. Also they had to get rid of one of their 30+ MDX tech from their lot! 4. Once you made the deal, always do your own calculations of monthly payments and OTD price (if you finance like I did!) yourself. Don't rely on their finance manager. They also try to sell you so many things at that time. I ignored them all. Those who are looking in Houston and sorrounding area..all the best! I got similar deal in San Antonio delaership as well but glad I didn't have to drive that far:). They have 40+ 08 MDX with all color choice:) |

As expected, the incentives have been extended into October. On a side note, I am close to a final deal on a base model. If I can't hit my target number, what are some common accessories that can be asked for to close the deal? Thanks.
