Replying to: ejoyce423 (Nov 18, 2008 3:58 am) I also saw someone posted $1,500 for the holdback. Don't know how it came from. |

I am looking to buy a new MDX with min of tech package. The local dealer has them listed for 44,960- 45,600 model year dependent. They have about 6 2008s on the lot. Wondering what you all think would be a good deal and what price I should start at. I am willing to travel a little within the TN/ KY area for the right price. Thanks for your help. email is 10beers gmail.com

I need some help from you all. I've bought one new car in my 41 years - a 2006 MDX Base model. I didn't haggle with the price - I was too green. Well, I'm still green... I want to trade in my MDX for an 08 Tech model. The listing price for those doesn't seem to be under $40k in my area. So, the thought of getting one for $36k seems impossible. I really want to get a good deal, but need a lot of tips. Can you help? Thanks in advance!

I've read as much as I can over the past week. Thank you all for your posts. Normally, I have more time to do research but due to certain circumstances, I am under the gun to make a purchase. That said, I am looking at the MDX Basic. My question is this: mdxrrrr mentioned above that you shouldn't pay more than $36K (plus Tax title) for an 2008 MDX w/ Tec, PTG. The MSRP, including Destination, for that car is $45,005, invoice at $40,946 according to edmunds. So, mdxrr is saying that you can get it for about $5k under invoice. Now, I want the 08 MDX Basic. The MSRP is $40,995, and invoice at $37,724. Using the above model by mdxrrr as a reference point, do you guys think I can get the Basic for 32,774 $5k under invoice)? If I just told them, "Look, I'll give you $32K for it.", would I be insulting them or would that be in the ballpark? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: tyson1010 (Nov 21, 2008 2:25 pm) No you are not insulting him... Back in early sept I got an email offer from a dealer in orange county CA Base 32574 Tech + PTG 36246 over the phone we agreed on $500.00 less for any car in stock. Salesman kept his word when we reach there. I decided on Tech + PTG.. Went in there.. bought the car and was out in few hours... No negotiations were done at the dealership.. Only final test drive... etc. 35746 + 70 doc fee + TTL = 38880 OTD in California If I would have gone with base it would be 32074 + 70 + TTL |

$32k is totally a fair offer in my mind for base... In fact, someone in the post already had posted such a buy if I recall correctly... Also, I actually had read all the posts since late September to set a target price for myself. Just in case it helps others, here is some of the low and high price points I had seen before on this post in one summary view. 2008 MDX Model Low High Target Price Base $32,000 $33,000 $32,500 Tech $35,000 $35,500 $35,500 Tech+PTG $36,000 $36,200 $36,000 Tech+Entertainment $38,000 $38,800 $37,500 Sport $37,500 N/A $37,500 Sport+PTG $37,150 $38,500 $38,000 Sport+Entertainment $39,700 $39,500 You can also see the target price I had set for myself above using this data, and also keeping reasonable deltas between the different packages. I bought it at my target price and my recommendation after going through the buying process is starting $500 below that and ensure you do not pay any documentation / processing type fees except tax/ttl.
