Read back through the posts here to see what other people have been paying. The typical price is invoice to $500 under invoice. If you can, try to make whatever vehicle price you negotiate be the "final" price, which means resisting their typical up-sells of extended warranties, leather/fabric protection, paint protectant, maintenance packages, etc. These are cash cows for dealers, and many unsuspecting buyers fall for it. The only thing that goes on top of that final price is taxes, tags, title fees, and perhaps a dealer processing fee (though I would balk if that was over $250 and make them drop the selling price to compensate). The only other advice would be to make sure you can calculate the payments if you finance or lease, just to double check their numbers (it's easier to do this with financing, but not impossible with leasing if you spend 30-40 minutes learning how leases work and going over the numbers). Don't be afraid to take your time or even walk if the dealer seems to be getting pushy. Time is on your side, and it's a very good tool in car negotiations. They always want to sell a car much more than you want to buy one (and if that's not the case, make it so!). Good luck! Craig

Hi Guys, I'm on the verge of buying my RDX. This site has provided me with great information. Thankyou. I requested my quotes online and I was contacted by 4 dealers in the area and they all have a pretty similar price. Like everyone knows - the sales people are great till you buy the car and then its a different story. Has anyone had a good experience with an acura dealership in Delaware or close to Delaware before and after buying the car. I dont mind paying the extra price difference for better customer service in the long run. Thanks

Replying to: mjo1 (May 18, 2007 8:22 am) The final cap cost was $32,577. I tried hard to negotiate a better deal but the salesman wouldn't go down another penny. In fact, I told him I wasn't interested and then let it sit for a day. I didn't hear back from him, so I called, and luckily the car was still available. I don't think I could have done better than $454/month. That's for the base model, not a penny down, 36 months, 12,000 miles/year, 56% residual. As I said, all I had to pay was the first month's payment plus title and reg. I had to wait over a month for the color I wanted, and the salesman honored the original money factor of .00108. A week later and I have about 220 miles on the car. After the first 130 miles I've been driving back and forth to work - short city trips. It seems I'm averaging about 20 mpg -- definitely more on highway driving (  24 mpg) and less on city driving ( 18 mpg). I'll have to fill up this weekend for a long trip. Man, that's gonna hurt! But I'm happy with the car. It's solid! You can tell by the sound it makes when you close the doors! It drives nice, but does let you know when you're going over bumps (which in Pennsylvania is a real problem because they certainly don't use tax dollars to fix the roads!). I should let you know that I entered this deal with the intention of possibly buying the car at lease end. That's one of the reasons I went with the RDX. I liked it that much and I'm going to see how it works out after 3 years. This was my exit out of American vehicles and entry into "luxury" Japanese (couldn't afford the German offerings). We'll see how it works out. Good luck! I don't think you'll regret getting the RDX.

Replying to: gublooo (May 20, 2007 5:03 pm) What if any accesories were part of the $34,790.00 price tag other than the tech pkg. I am trying to compare apples to apples. Where are you located? Best of luck with your first purchase. b33loney

Replying to: b33loney (May 21, 2007 6:18 pm) I visited the dealership today that gave me the best quote on the internet. I test drove both the RDX and MDX. The price difference between the two is only 7000$ - and now after test driving both - I'm leaning more towards the MDX. To answer your question b33loney, The RDX does not include any other accessory. Just the tech package. I'm located in Delaware. I got quotes from 4 other dealers, and this was the lowest. Here is the break down of the final price offered for both RDX and MDX RDX with Tech Purchase price : $34790 Tax : $957 Tags: $219 Total $35966 MDX with Tech Purchase price : $41665 Tax : $1147 Tags: $219 Total $43031 What do u guys think??? Thanks Gublooo
