Replying to: billyk1 (Oct 29, 2008 5:00 pm)  a MDX and I'm split between BASE vs Tech/Ent. The points you mention are very valid regarding pricing. I seem to be getting the run around with pricing so I'm wondering if I should head to SoCal or beyond...Any thoughts?

Warranty work is a profit center for all car dealers in today's market. The automakers reimburse them at their full shop rates. Any Acura dealer will gladly take care of any warranty work, you will still get the option of the free loaner, etc. The only thing you may miss out on is any "free" service items (oil changes, etc), offered by distant dealer. But don't kid yourself, those "free" service items are included in your price when you buy from any dealer. Nothing is really "free". So if you do start negotiating with a dealer in another neighboring town, and the salesperson starts promoting their "free" services included with every sale to justify his higher price. Remind them you will not be using those services, so they have more reason to accept your lower offer!

Replying to: mdxrrrrr (Oct 30, 2008 8:20 am) I will keep on it but I'm not desperate. It's interesting about the options - I can get a BASE 08 MDX low 30K quote vs the Tech/Ent package is $36-38K price point. That tells me that the Navi and DVD are marked up on these vehicles by $4-6+K which seems crazy to me. Talking with my wife, I said I could get a BASE and then go get comparable after market Navi / DVD for a fraction of the cost. She's more about how the after market add-ons will be integrated in the car and she does have a point - I ain't into wires hanging all over the place and the portable DVD while convienent is klunky and can fall at times if you have a hard stop or something. The prices in Socal are not juicy enough for me to consider given the amount of time I'd have to invest... |

Just purchased a brand new 08 MDX I want to say thanks to everyone who has posted on this forum in the last couple of months it has been very informative and provided me a lot of knowledge before I went in and made my purchase. Now on to the details and lets see if you think I got a good deal. 08 MDX Sport + PTG with 26 miles on the odomoeter no Accessories Car + Destination = $38,500 MA 5% state tax = $1925 Document & Title fees = $ 295 MA Plates =$86 RMV Runs =$75 Out the door price = $40,881 Financing 2.9% for 60months I signed the papers today and will be picking it up next Friday after I get back from a business trip. I pulled thr trigger now since this is the price level I wanted, there were very few left with the interior that I wanted (Ebony) and I had no luck whatsoever getting dealers to come down on price on used MDX's. I eve showed them the deal I was getting on new and how there was marginal difference in pricing between new and used. So those are the reasons I feel good about the purchase (no buyers remorse) and mostly that is due to the very good info I picked up at this site. Good luck to all you other potential buyers out there |

went down to the dealer - promised me a price over the phone but the person I spoke to was not there and they would not honor it. Couldn't get them to go down any lower than 37,086.00 +760 dest +tax, title, and license fees. After all fees and ny tax my total was $41,298.00. Sounded like a really lousy deal to me so I left. This was for an 08 mdx with tech (no pt). |

The original MSRP w/o any of the add-on options was $46,655.00--Tech w/ Rear Entertainment and PTG My agreed upon price w/o the add-ons was $39,648.00. With the add-ons of the roof rack, side body moldings, back up sensors, sport running boards and all-season mats...the total was about $42,648.00. My buyout right now is ~ $45K. I also found out that American Honda does not allow transfer of leases. So I would essentially buy the SUV and take a bit of a hit to sell to someone else. I would be looking to get $41K for sale. Sales tax would be the buyers responsibility.

Replying to: jacobm (Nov 02, 2008 4:15 pm) If there are no extras added to that MDX, they should be able to sell just under $36G including dest, esp if it doesn't have PTG. I would give them an offer (give yourself $200 of room if needed) a few hundred over that and say that offer includes all their doc/adm fees,. That way they can work the numbers backward to show the price however they need to to make it work out for them, but your max price of let's say $36,200 plus tax and title doesn't change. Giving an inclusive offer, puts the ball in their court as to how much they are going to charge you for their doc/adm fees which ranges from $50 - over $500 depending on the dealership. With an inclusive offer you don't care you are simply telling them how much you are willing to spend. If you have the VIN of the car you were looking at that is even better so you get what you were wanting. Via email, you should be able to make your deal, instruct them to have all the paperwork ready, sch. your pickup, etc. Then when you get there you don't have to listen to them try to sell you a bunch of stuff you don't really need and can just sign your papers and be on your way. If they reject your offer, what have you lost? If they email you back in a couple days and ask you what they can do to make a deal, you will know you just won, because all you have to say is "you can take my offer". By them calling you back they are saying your offer is good, (or very close), if it wasn't they wouldn't have called you. |
