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.

Most of the basic stuff doesn't cost them very much, cargo trays, mats, etc. Ask for the 1st oil change for free. If you don't ask, you won't get. Yes, my wife hates shopping with me but if you aren't firm, they will get their way. Good luck! |

After a lot of comparison (2 months) between the CX-9, Highlander, Pilot and MDX I finally went for the MDX. Its the best car to drive and ride for the price. I got my Acura MDX Tech with PTG for $35,600 + TTL + dest + plates. Came to 39,000 OTD. I live in NJ and saw that multiple dealers were offering prices around this range (you have to haggle a little). |
