Replying to: eltuti2002 (Jan 07, 2009 6:52 pm) You got a better deal than me for the car, but I didn't lease. I bought my '09 MDX-base model on Jan. 5 (they don't sell the tech or sport packages here in AK because many of the components don't work). I paid $35,500 for the car (white with light interior) and with title/fees walked out the door for $36,000 (no taxes in Anchorage) with the 2.9% financing and no trade-in. They wouldn't go any lower or even throw in a cargo mat  I still feel I got a good deal... until the next day after work it wouldn't start! I haven't decided if it was a fluke, the cylinoid, or if I should blame it on the cold weather (it was -11 that day for a high and hasn't been over 0 for the last few weeks). Right now they're blaming the problem on it being new and "tight." We'll see if it continues and if I'll have to already start using the warranty. I didn't like the lady on the TLC phone #, they said it would take up to 8 hours to get someone to my car due to the "extreme conditions" in my area. I gave up on her and got someone else to get it started and it didn't need jumping. Go figure. It's almost easier to get a friend to tow you than wait for them to rescue you. Either way, I've gotten 4 check-up calls from the dealer this last few days making sure everything is o.k.. The guys at Continental have been great (although it did take 3 guys to figure out how to lower the spare tire). So if any of you want to buy up here and take a road trip to the lower-48... do it in the summer. |

| With a 44% decline in sales for December 2008 vs December 2007 and with the deepening downturn in the 2009 economy, Acura will hopefully improve them to move their inventory of MDX's as well as their other vehicles which are in a similar decline. | |

Just wanted to say that if you are shopping for a car in MA watch out for Herb Connolly Acura. I think they are pretty shady. None of their numbers match up to any lease calculator I've found on the internet. They gave me one number over the phone and completely different numbers at the dealership. They switched salesmen on me twice on the phone and then again when I got to the dealership. When I started calling them out on some of their numbers - I was just trying to make sure I could calculate the lease payment myself - they tried to change the subject and finally they told me that they had "given me a quote on the wrong car". They had been giving me numbers for the MDX Tech instead of Tech Entertainment. What a joke. I should have been leery when I never got any quotes over email. In retrospect they would converse with me over email but anytime numbers came up it was always over the phone, never in writing. Other dealerships have been very forthcoming with putting some key numbers in email - total cost, monthly, residual percentages, etc. This is a lesson learned for me and even though I was tempted by claims of "we'll beat any price" I have to say that Sunnyside Acura in Nashua and Bernardi Acura of Boston have been far better to work with for me. |

I paid 35,2K for a base at Bernardi, great no pressure experience, they even went to NJ to get the color I wanted. (none in NE) where do I get acura accessories? I need a cheap cargo line and winter mats..Thanks.

These are the quotes I got from a local dealer. 2009 MDX - $35,255+Tax & Licensing fees (MSRP $41,550) (Invoice $38,180.37) 2009 MDX Technology Package - $38,800+Tax & Licensing fees (MSRP $45,600) (Invoice $41,852.91) 2009 MDX Technology & Entertainment Package - $40,310+Tax & Licensing fees (MSRP $47,350) (Invoice $43,439.81) 2009 MDX Sport & Entertainment Package - $42,140+Tax & Licensing fees (MSRP $49,450) (Invoice $45,344.09) Are these good prices? I'm assuming they're decent, but which dealer advertises prices without anticipating any wiggle room. To me, I feel that there is still some more room, but I'm not sure how much... |

These are good prices but the prices for all trims are $500 higher than the consumer reports suggested bottom line price. On top of invoice less incentives, the dealer holdback starts from $1230 to $1467 from base model to sport/ent. Also, I am sure they will not honor Special Financing(0.9% to 2.9%) per the quote you received. If you need special honda financing, then the price would be $2000 more for any trim. For accessories and extended warranty, you can shop at Bernardi Warranty.com who is the cheapest based on my search so far. |
