I went to Acura.com and found every dealership within 100 miles of my home. I reviewed their websites, saw their available inventory and found what they had available. When MDX's were selling over invoice, I found a dealer 100 miles away that sold it for less. None of the dealers nearby were willing to deal so I bought my wifes car there. All the paper work was done over the phone or via emails and all we had to do was show up and pick up the car. After I bought, the local dealers were shocked and one even said he would meet the price. Too late.
You should do the same. Check to see if they have the car you are looking for or if they have a lot of cars in inventory. I then emailed each one to see what kind of deals others were offering. I played the dealers against each other and got a great deal on my RDX. You can do the same. Remember it is your money and YOU are in control not them. Good luck, Jay
I am seriously considering an acura rdx w/ tech with 64k miles. At $20k do you think its a good deal? I am wondering with the new '10s that the price may drop soon for the older models.
Their dealer internet price is $25,500.00.
How much is a fair price for the dearler and myself to agree on?
I'd shoot for 23k

Clearly this is not the way to win business, how hard is it for you to provide the number that you always say you can beat. Of course I will not give you the sell if you can only equal the price of another dealer. I would like to award it to the first one who offered the price cause they give their best to work with me, give me a price that works with me, and get a win win situation. I would do it even if it means that i need to drive an extra 50 miles to go to that dealership.
For others who are planning to buy an RDX here in SoCAl - beware, if the salesman from Riverside reads this, i hope you realize that you need to improve and learn to work with your customers, and peacefully agree to disagree if both of you cant meet.
We are aiming for 30,000 or less.. you think we can get it?
no way i would pay that much for a 2009!
Gudluck, I hope you get one, they are really fun to have.
Shopping for 07-09 RDx w or w/o Tech pckge....haven't decided. There is an 09 RDX base (AWD) at my local Acura dealership, w/9500 miles (was part of their service fleet), they're asking $30,998. Anyone think I can get this for 29,500?? Looks like wholesale price is a little over 27K, and we'd be paying cash. Also looking at an 07 RDX w/tech, and DVD rear system, which I haven't found in ANY other RDX, 25K miles, asking $27995.
Thanks for the input!
thanks in advance car_man
I'd go back when the manager is there, tell him you have found an alternate solution, and you are going to decide by 5pm on XYZ day, and he has until then to sell you his car at your desired price, otherwise he will never see you again. Then walk out. This is a buyers market, and he has a less than desirable car ...
My advice is to pass on it. You don't know what the dealer paid for it (they might have bought it at auction themselves) which means they may have paid more than $27.5k for it or they just want a set percentage of profit and aren't one of those dealers that like to deal. Keep looking, you'll find something. Or give the dealer one more chance, tell him it's their last chance to accept your offer. If they don't you'll be purchasing else where.
Yeah, we decided to pass on it...thanks for your advice. They called us back yesterday and actually asked US if OUR offers had changed...LOL....I was like, "no. Have yours?" We also heard that the owner of this particular dealership is "very weird" when it comes to dealing with anyone. Apparently he has all the money in the world, and really doesn't care one way or the other. That's the word on the street anyways...:) So, we'll just keep looking--thankfully, we're not in a situation where we NEED a car right now. So, time is on our side! Thanks again!
Goodluck!

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.
The rest of the charges; don't pay them. Wheel locks cost $25 and are of no value to 99.9% of car buyers and the ad fee is just another way to say they are charging you more for the car.
