#7313 of 9168 Just bought an 08 MDX for 8K under MSRP! by tlorchry300c Oct 21, 2008 (10:11 am)
This is the second Acura I've purchased from Radley Acura in VA. And apparently I just walked into a ridiculous no haggle price. I started shopping yesterday for an SUV since I'm a new daddy and after almost buying an X5 '06 for 32K all said and done, I got a brand new 08 MDX for 35K all said and done.   It was MSRP at 40,095 or something and BOOM the dealership with incentives gave the price at 32,095. Of course u add in tax/tags/stuff and we get a brand new MDX for 35K.   We ended up paying extra for extended warrenties and my wife loves to buy protoection plans for leather so we did pay 1580 extra for those two things.

Replying to: suv66 (Oct 21, 2008 9:46 am) I just bought what seems like a similar deal. From Radley Acura in Virginia, they were giving 32,995 and that included destination/freight. This is the second Acura I've bought from them and they said thats why they didn't charge me...   Outta principle I normally would haggle a bit, but the deal just seemed too good. They did throw in 2 year free oil change. I think I got a free detailing on my other Acura too. Full tank of gas.

Replying to: suv66 (Oct 21, 2008 9:46 am) I test drove an MDX today in Beaumont, TX. The salesperson told me that they are selling 2008's for 20% off the MSRP. The one I was considering had the TECH/ENT packages and was $46K so that would be $36.8K with the discount. I prefer white and they had none so I would be willing to drive for it. What city were you looking in?   Thanks!

Replying to: suv66 (Oct 21, 2008 9:46 am) Should be able to buy an '08 Tech/PTG for $36,000. plus tax and title. If the dealership charges more than $100 for the doc.fee. Just give the dealer a total price you are will to pay including the "doc/adm. fees) Let them write it up how ever they want, just tell them the max you are going to pay. It is ridiculous to pay a dealer $200-$300 even up to $500 for them to take your check, print out an invoice, and cash your check. If you are using their financing and are spending time with their Finance person, I can see paying a another $50-100 for their time, but paying an additional $200-$300 for them to fill out some finance papers??? Also, when you're talking to the salesman, tell them you want the car without any additional dealer options/accessories added. If they say they are already on the car, don't include them in your pricing. The dealers are adding these options to put more profit back into the car. There are some good acura on-line sites you can go to see how inexpensive you can buy most of the accessories for, www.acurapartssuperstore.com. So when your salesman tells you the bodyside molding is $350, you can say "that's odd, I saw where I can buy it on-line for $190 and install it myself" Good Luck.
#7319 of 9168 '08 MDX in the Salt Lake City Area by elgatowiggy Oct 22, 2008 (3:29 pm)
I'm looking to buy either base '08 MDX or w/ tech in the Salt Lake City area. Does anyone have any buyer's experience or prices paid you want to share on any of the two area Acura dealers? Thanks.
#7320 of 9168 CPO 08 mdx how much by billyk1 Oct 26, 2008 (11:02 am)
I'm looking at two Certified Pre Owned 08 MDX's. The first is maroon w/tan interior and the tech package and 15k miles on it. I figure if new ones in this configuration are going for $36k then I should be looking at an extra 20% off. That would take it to $28800.   The second is 08 Base in black/black with 8800 miles on it. Dealer is asking $34K which is 2k more than I figure you can get a new 08 base for. Using the same formula, 20% off of the more realistic $32K asking price would take it down to $25600. Am I off in thinking that there should be a 20% depreciation based on the cars being used?

Replying to: billyk1 (Oct 26, 2008 11:02 am) Billyk1, IMHO how much the delaer is willing to come off that price depends on how the history of the car. Did he acquire it from his "loaner fleet" or from an "auction"? Almost all Acura dealers provide free "loaner" cars for service. Once they get 7-9K on them pull them from their loaner fleet, they are detailed, and sold as certified used cars. They really haven't made any revenue with them unless Acura (factory) credits them so much per mile. Which I don't know for sure. From what I have observed the dealer puts on a couple after market accessories and tries to use the additions to bump up the "list price" of the car. The reality is he may have just as much, if not more, into that certified car converted from his "loaner" fleet as he does in a new one. On the other hand if he aquired it at an auction (off lease fleets, etc) he may not have as much in the car. If your looking at Carmax, they put about $2,500 profit in each car and they don't move off the prices. I tried to buy a '08 with 8500 miles on it and came to the conclusion that MDX was going to be sold to some uneducated consumer. The Acura salesman would make him think he was getting a great deal compared to the list price of a new MDX. If you can get it for under 30G I would be surprised. Good Luck.

Replying to: mdxrrrrr (Oct 27, 2008 10:10 am) mdxrrrrr, I think it is a fleet car. There are only a few Acura dealerships on Long Island. There is a good amount of inventory on new 08s. The 09s are parked right behind them. MDX sales were off 26% in September and are down 14% for the year. I'm positive that October will end up being absolutely brutal for all car makers. Carmax prices seemed out of whack with the current economic times. I don't think they are big in the northeast.   Thanks for your input. I'm going to swing by the dealership tomorrow and get the background on the car. Is there a way to tell how long a car has been at the dealership without asking the dealer?
