Hi tkv,
Would you mind telling me where you bought the car, and the name of the salesperson? I'm in MD too. My email address is lyongu gmail.com
Thanks!

Hi. I will be buying a 2008 Acura mdx with the sports and ent package with the luggage rack and running boards as extras by the weekend. can someone suggest a decent price i should end up paying for it and a decent dealer in the Portland Oregon area. I am just SO tired of all the games that the dealers play. From all accounts on here the going price is around $38500-39000 nationally.Thanx.

Dude you gotta use the the Request a Quote feature on the main edmunds.com site. I did and have absolutely no regrets. I received 2 quotes and an email seeking a callback, all within 4 hours. From the 2 "serious" dealerships (who were within $400 of eachother), I was able to snag a 2008 Nimbus Gray/Ebony Tech for 35998 (WTF, right!?!). All of this via email without any of those irritating come-on-down-and-we'll-see-what-we-can-do-for-ya phone convos. This was probably the most beautiful purchase experience I've ever participated in. Seriously. I'm in the DC metro area, though.
BTW, I'm totally lovin' my MDX. I call it my Stealth Fighter--a term coined by my buddy, Ryan. It looks like a Stealth Fighter, no? Yaaaah man.

I think they add something to the look of the car, what do you think? My only concern is that they may cause added noise.

I think you pegged it.. better looks in exchange for more noise..
And.. where there is wind noise, there is probably a small fuel mileage penalty..

sounds exactly like the reason ricer boys set up 5 foot spoilers on their $35,000 souped up civics.

You're right, less aerodynamic.

A happy medium may be to get just the roof rails without the cross bars which I think is the cause of the noise....

I think the rails are a must in terms utility. I'm looking right now at adding either the Acura cross bars myself ($170 online) or going with a Thule or Yakima rack (~ $200) so I can add a ski carrier or cargo box. The aftermarket stuff can be taken on/off more easily and they make a fairing to reduce wind noise.... plus they should be more versatile. Has anybody added a cargo box to the Acura cross bars?... I worry that they might flex too much.

Thank you for the info. I got the same deal.Bought the last one. I went down yesterday, about 500 miles away from where I live. I enjoyed the drive back though in my new MDX, got about 18mph. I added roofrail for $400 for the looks. The transaction was smooth,thanks to you, the saleman is funny and spend more time showing me the features of the MDX. Buying a car should be this painless. This board has been so helpful. I was looking at 09 pilot but I am glad I went with the MDX. thanks.
