I made the round trip from NY to Pohanka in VA. Flew down on Jetblue for $73 and they picked me up at Dulles. Everything went absolutely perfect. The salesperson was wonderful. Super nice guy and very helpful. No tricks, didn't push anything on me. Left an hour or so later with my new MDX Base for $34,100 + TTL. They through in both wheel locks and some sort of special valve for the tires (he said it was a $49 value and was complementary). Only minor issue is that they weren't sure they could do a plate transfer for me (and save me maybe $150-$200), but they did put it in as a transfer. Not sure how NYS deals with that. Also, I guess once I get my registration, I have to go get a NYS inspection myself. Minor inconvenience for $2000 savings. Made the round trip, door to door, in about 11 hours. Thank you so much to both terry and jain. I thoroughly appreciate you providing the referral and the experience was as positive as I could have hoped for. Love the car. Got to know it pretty well on the 5 hour drive home

Replying to: gadlevin (Nov 07, 2009 12:39 am) Financing 2.9% for 5 years. Didn't have too many choices of color went for Black and Black even though my current Camry is black. Love the black though. A friend of mine in NJ bought at 38 + TTL. I bargained hard but this is the best I got! At 38.7 + TTL, did I get a good price? Almost had bought Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring (with Navigation) at 32K (cash / check price). Financing for Mazda would have been 6 to 7 %.

Replying to: ironjeff (Nov 07, 2009 9:51 am) http://www.canadiandriver.com/2009/11/05/acura-announces-price-reductions-all-ne- w-tsx-sport-wagon.htm It makes sense to buy 2009 models if there are incentives, and dealers are willing to pass it on to buyers. The game changes when dealers are keeping unreasonably high markups assuming that there is demand, and buyers are willing to purchase 2009 models with the fear that they may have to pay full price for 2010 models. This is all I hear when I talk to these dealers - "You better buy before 2010 mdx come in. Then you will have to pay full price" With price reductions for 2010 mdx, it might be better to wait for 2010 mdx than pay high dealer markups for 2009 mdx. In a macro sense, to spur the demand, Acura will keep the incentives going. Their production lines are still running at 50% capacity now - an unacceptably low number that they cannot maintain forever. |

I got the price 35000 + TTL for the base model from the dealer yesterday. It includes two extras. The dealer is offerring 34000+TTL for the other two base models. But I did not like their colors. It looks a good price for current market. I went to there for a tech model at first. but they ran out of stock. It seems tech model is much more popular than the base model. however, I read khajokh 's post this morning. It seems 2010 MDX model reduced their price for $910. Does anybody know the price for 2010 model now? Should I wait for next year for the new 2010 model?

Replying to: nbcars (Nov 08, 2009 9:44 am) - Do you need the car now or can you wait? - Remember the stimulus new vehicle tax break? Well it gives me back about $1000 back - Risk that 2010 models may not be discounted much? - Time and effort spent? When I look at all these factors ... I believe 500 to 1000 here and there really isn't that material! I have been looking for a car for some time ... first which one ... then from the short-listed ... which dealer & price ... probably that has taken up about 4 weekends. It could have been a good time spent with the family before the winter arrives! But no, I was trying to get the best deal. That is why even though a friend of mine got the MDX Tech at 38K + TTL, I just went ahead with 38.7 deal (+ some freebies) ... had enough of it.

Replying to: suharsh (Nov 08, 2009 10:33 am) Acura will discount the 2010 models - their sales are nowhere near where Acura would like them to be. Also, RX 350 is eating Acura MDX lunch if you look at the sales numbers. Don't get me wrong - I love Acura MDX, but I refuse to pay this high a markup for the dealers who essentially are doing very little 'add-on' services especially for new cars. These cars will sell by themselves if they price it right. I will certainly wait for 2010 to see what they offer. Here is one more article that gives an idea of the kind of incentives dealers are getting (and refusing to pass on to buyers) http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/what-theyre-offering/article1351166/ Suharsh, your 38.7k deal is actually not bad. Where I live, the dealers politely show you the door for any asking price less than 40k for tech even without any freebies. If there are more dealers like the Pohanka, VA dealer who dealt straight, there will be many more buyers.

Replying to: khajokh (Nov 08, 2009 11:18 am) For base model, 34000+TTL is already 3000 below invoice price and almost 8000 below MSRP. When is the good time to buy a 2010 MDX?
