#929 of 965 Re: Update on 09RDX base w/9500miles [megsie88] by ebcarbuyer Nov 04, 2009 (7:04 am)
Replying to: megsie88 (Nov 04, 2009 5:22 am) If there aren't any other Acura dealers close by (another reason why they may think they can dictate price) I'd consider looking in nearby cities or having your friend help you get something at auction. Problem with auctions is most of the lease returns showing up there will be the 2007 MY as three year leases would be the first to show up. I never buy the first year of any model. I wait for the bugs to be worked out and newer feature sets to be included. Good luck in your search!

Replying to: megsie88 (Nov 04, 2009 5:22 am) You made the right decision Megsie, im sure you'll find your car in another dealership. This forum helped me learn the tricks of negotiating and find the best price by doing all haggling through email, its easier to walk away that way   Goodluck!
#931 of 965 the good and the bad by trome Nov 07, 2009 (10:37 am)
So after testing the RAV4 V6 which I was about to buy, someone told me about the new FWD RDX and after one drive I was sold. Unfortunately the first dealer I went to , Esserman Acura, made the experience very unpleasant. They offered me $13,500 on my trade, an 08 Accord LX which is easily worth $15,500 to $16k wholesale and I scoffed and insisted I wanted a minimum of $15,500. They kept me waiting and said their "team of appraisers" was working on it. I finally got up and walked out even though the suddenly offered $15k as I left. Then they called half an hour later and offered $15,300. I told them I don't care if they offer me $15499.99 I am not taking it. Finally they called back an relented but by that time I was so turned off I called another dealer who had the car I wanted in stock, Rick Case Acura. They were courteous, pleasant and after friendly and quick negotiations we worked out a fair deal for a base FWD RDX (no tech package)> MSRP was 33330 and I paid $31440 which is less than Edmunds TMV.

Replying to: trome (Nov 07, 2009 10:37 am) The first dealer was playing their game with you and they lost. Good for you walking out. If they can't get back to you in 15 mintues then they are being unfair. Sounds like you got a decent deal. Jay

Replying to: trome (Nov 07, 2009 10:37 am) Was the $31,440 OTD or before tax and doc fees? What's the tax rate in your area? Replies to this message: trome (Nov 11, 2009 7:46 pm) desmonsm (Nov 12, 2009 8:36 am)

Replying to: desmonsm (Nov 11, 2009 7:50 am) no, that was before tax and tag. Still a great price I thought. Replies to this message: desmonsm (Nov 12, 2009 8:36 am)

Replying to: trome (Nov 11, 2009 7:46 pm) It looks like invoice for your vehicle was $30,713. I'm gunning for at least invoice, but we've bought multiple vehicles from this dealership so they should work with us. Is invoice realistic?

Replying to: esteban_sd (Nov 16, 2009 10:38 am) It's not clear if they are quoting a base (fwd) or an SH-AWD, so here is my opinion on both...take 'em with a grain of salt though, as I do not own an RDX. (yet?)   From edmunds...in my N. Cali zip code area...   SH-AWD w/Technology Package AWD 2.3L I4 T MSRP-$37,620 Invoice-$34,580, TMV-$36,329   Base w/Technology Package FWD 2.3L I4 T MSRP-$35,620 Invoice-$32,746, TMV-$34,422      Depending on where you live, you should be looking to pay close to invoice price or less in todays economy. Seems like a buyers market. Find a willing dealer.
