Wow, thanks for your research on that. Are you certain there are still white's available in the Southern Ca area?? Or is it that they are currently making them w/out Nav, but have not distributed/notified dealerships of them yet, is that possible? I did contact 2 other So Cal large dealerships and spoke to their inventory dept's (as well as my salesman), and all told me the same thing - didn't have/could not find in all of So Cal w/out Nav, nor did they know of any coming in. Is is possible that a few dealerships would be giving me incorrect information? I also told my salesman then that silver (still w/out Nav) would be my second choice - he said he searched again but no silver either. So the best i'm being told I could get rith now would be the white With Nav, for $3,000 off msrp (~41,700) - cost to me $38,700 w/out tax/lic/etc - lease payments $530/mo w/$2k down, 15k mi per year. And, I'm also told this price (monthly payments) is good through Sept 2nd, then prices will adjust/raise but that they do not know to what until the 2nd. I really appreciate your research and input on this, thank you! |

First...out-the-door (does the salesperson equate this to include tax, title, license fees or not)? Second...would like input on pros/cons of NAV system;is it worth $2350? Third...So far, 3 dealers have said current inventories have no Prem. Plus now. They are being shipped Basic Prem Pkg with add-ons duplicating Prem. Plus items but without HID lamps. Haven't had HID lights before; is this a "should-be" as an option or not? Fourth...forgot to check it myself, but can power rear door be opened manually? BTW, so far best offer is $2500 below MSRP. Local dealer said no more than $600, but mentioned I had lower offer and expect to hear from local dealer today to meet it (well, maybe). How bout one more ?.....is black really that hard to keep clean?

Can't believe I would have any more questions about this, but Would a person have need of AWD in the southern states? No, not even light off-roading. Maybe an occasional trip to snow country. The only possible weather would be ice/black ice and don't know if anything can help you there. |

I am in Little Rock and have been trying to negotiate a good price for the past two weeks. Dealers in Dallas will sell to me for aboout $2,600 off MSRP, but the dealer here would only come down $1,000, even after I told him of the deal I could get out-of-town. He tried to sell me on their service, but there is no way that is work $1,600. I should be taking delivery of a silver FWD with premium package and 18" wheels by late September. And have a weekend in Dallas to go with it. |

- I really like the Nav system, but we all must choose what we wish to spend our money on. - I think HID are nicer, but I personally wouldn't make it a deal breaker. - The rear door can be opened manually. |

Check out www.apa.ca. I don't know anything about them other than they have a buying service and can sell you invoice prices. And happy Labour Day! Steve, Host |

| I don't know why your dealership is having a hard time getting that specific color/config ... it is readily available. | |

Grover6: 1) "Out The Door" is EVERY cost involved with the purchase: Purchase Price + (Doc/Admin Fees, Taxes, Title, License, Tire, etc.) 2) Nav System: Some people REALLY like it, others have listed minor complaints against this unit. I'll just add one new perspective: It doesn't hold its value well come resale time. Expect 60-70% depreciation on that $2350 option after 3 years. (Sorry to be such a grinch!) 3)What part of the country do you live in that no longer has Premium Plus packages? Back in June I was looking for the basic Premium package, to save some money, but all dealers in region didn't have anything less than Premium Plus. HID is nice, but I would have preferred to save the money. 4) yes - no problem. (as already answered) 5) AWD doesn't help on black ice. We also live in the south, with a rare trip to snow country. We preferred a 2WD unit because of the lower cost, better fuel economy, and slightly better acceleration (due to less weight). Also, this is a FWD vehicle, not RWD (such as the FX35). I argue that a FWD vehicle tends to do better in snow than RWD, with a majority of the weight over the drive wheels. The FWD RX330 may still be a half-decent performer on snow. It performed just fine on some desert trails for us last weekend, and I have pictures of the dirt all over the back window to prove it! Oh, one more thing. Are there additional maintenance costs for the AWD version of the RX? Our AWD Acura MDX required periodic $75 rear differential fluid changes that would not have been required if it was a FWD vehicle. |
