Replying to: firedude (Aug 18, 2006 5:27 am) that seems a bit off MSRP, no? I think MSRP is 36,595 without any taxes, etc. Do you know what the bottom line price of the car was before the fees? When were you told it could be delivered? |

I caught this on another acura site -- also on the other edmunds site, looks like a few folks are getting about 500 bucks off MSRP. Seems like the first dominos are falling!: _____________________________________________ Wasn't this thread about getting deals on an RDX? OK, I got my deal. I'd originally left a small deposit with my nearest Acura dealer before pricing was announced. When I came in for a test drive, the salesman made the usual noises about new car, low supply, big demand, not making any deals. So via Edmunds, I sent out a request for a quote to the four nearest dealers and I got called by all four. That included the one that had my deposit, but the quote request was in my wife's name and she doesn'y use my last name (not that I'm suspicious or something). Two stuck with the "no deals" line. One offered me $500 below MSRP on the phone as soon as I asked. The fourth said they had deals, come on in. What they offered right up front was $800 below MSRP. My wife, bless her heart, said "Let's offer them $1500 below list." By the time we finished, I got $1200 off MSRP and $579 worth of accessories for $200 on an RDX with tech package. I'd prefer not to mention the dealer's name just yet because I know that some dealers have a scam where they offer a low price and sell the same car to someone else for more money if they can and tell you that yours didn't arrive for some reason. I don't think that that's what's happening here. First, we got the price offer before deciding if we were going to take one from stock or wait for something else to come in -- the salesman offered one from stock, but I didn't like the color combination (gray exterior, taupe interior). Second, my father was in the car industry for decades and I can usually spot the crooks. But if course it's the best crooks that are hardest to spot. The one I chose was already on the list of incoming cars and is supposed to arrive September 19. I'll let you know what happens.

I got two internet quotes today from two dealerships in Phoenix. I asked for the price with the Techo package. The price was $37,165 from both. One mentioned that the base model was $33,10. I've test drove the rdx last week. It was nice. I noticed a small, very small, lag before it picked up speed. Frankly, I knew more than the salesperson which I thought was shocking and surprising. I don't like that the rear seats don't lay flat. There are no air ducks for the rear seats. The key is cool; it slips into the base. The rdx was smaller than I expected from the acura web site and the sales brochure. I have three other suvs I'm consider - subaru, mazda cx7, murano. If the price on the acura was better, I'd buy it tomorrow. Anyone have any clue when they "think" the price would drop? I test drove the car a week after it hit the dealership and the sales guy told me they hadn't sold any. Thanks, in advance, for any replies. |

Replying to: gadster (Aug 22, 2006 9:25 pm) I think the prices will probably drop for sure after about 3 months. You might be able to find some deals in the next few weeks in certain areas depending on demand. The fact that the dealership you went to hadn't sold any yet I think is an invitation to make an offer. Did you already talk about price beyond hearing the MSRP? I was also disappointed the rear had no air vents. I don't think the X3 does either. Does the Mazda or Murano have rear vents?

Replying to: gadster (Aug 22, 2006 9:25 pm) Pricing in the Cleveland area was at MSRP. Not much wiggle room. Sales guy gave to typical 'Acura will only make 25,000' speech, so demand will be greater then supply. |

I'm after a base RDX in the Chicago area. The dealers are holding list for the most part. One will toss in a few accessories. I've got a low mile RX330 to trade & the local Acura/Lexus dealer wouldn't even appraise my trade when they saw I wanted some movement on price on the RDX. The going line is "short supply" and many buyers but I don't see it. Once people see you MUST use premium fuel, they may look at alternatives.
