Nope that's the correct price. It's actually $1,025 below invoice. MSRP was $45,695 + $670 destination. So the total discount below MSRP was $5,295.
OTD was $44k something....Sorry I don't have the exact figure with me. That and the 2.9% apr makes for a weekend well spent.
Again, they didn't tack on any dealer added accessories. Once I got into finance, I told the guy up front that I didn't want any additional warrenties, lojack, etc. and he complied without ever questioning my decision. Best car buying experience EVER!
Good luck!
I was in negotiations with 14 dealerships in SoCal, from Calabasas to South Orange County. The next best deal I got was $41,904 before destination.
What dealer was this in North Carolina? Sounds like a good deal to me. I'm in Charlotte. Thanks.
The experience was a bit educational. I requested internet quotes in mid-July from 5 dealers in 25 mile range from my home. Of the five, 3 of them had the same exact quote once I told them that I was also working with other dealers through internet. It was remarkable that all 3 of them had the same offer. I think they all work toether just like we do in this forum.
However, one of them had offered free options listed above while the other one had sent mass mailings in the area offering 250 off after negotiating best deal on new acura. Towards the end of the month, I took the competitors offer of free options to the other dealer and they beat it by 100 dollars. I then used the 250 off coupon. So I saved $350 on my best deal from the competitor.
The best part is that I negotiated Out the door price for what I wanted so no variables can be introduced in anything. Watch out for minor details in paperwork where they may have intentionally under estimated some of the fees (like MV registration). You end up paying more later. Also make sure that all negotiated options actually reflect on the papers you sign. Always review the final papers before you sign any purchase order or pay any money/deposit.
Good luck to you all.
I didn't like the salesman I was working with. He was very rude and impatient. I almost had to force him to expalin me some of the things about the car features at the time of delivery. He was annoyed when I asked him some questions about how some things worked. So much for the precision award quality.

they quoted me a lease of 685 per month, all in, for a tech/ent 36 mos/ 12k. with a 2k + 1st month payment down.
dont know if i can do better then this deal. I'm 80% sure that i'm going to go for it, but gonna get them to get rid of the 1st month payment component of the down payment.
thanks again for the info, stewart McCall is it then :shades:
What was the price without taxes and destination. Can you let us know.
Was it below invoice ??
Where did you get that $250 coupon ??. Was there a trade-in involved and did you get the promotional APR ??. Can you plz provide the sales person contact ??
Why I'm asking is, this is a very good price. Never saw a similar deal.
Can you give the complete breakup ? ie how much was the vehicle cost incl destination, Tax, DMV Charges, Processing etc. This sounds too good to be true. I was negotiating with them and didnt come close to this. Where did you get the coupon from and at what stage did you show them ?
Anyone out there in the 'process' care to comment on what they're seeing as of this week?
Bo.

The sales person was very rude, impatient and unhelpful. His only role in this purchase was to do the transaction. Mostly everything was through e-mail or phone to their sales manager who seem intimidating. Sorry, no names are allowed to be posted in this forum.
We had the same experience at Acura of Bellevue. They acted like they were doing us a favor by giving us $3,000 over invoice. Avoid Acura of Seattle as well. I had a "firm" deal with their floor manager (after 2 days of haggling back and forth) at invoice over the phone only to have the "sales manager" call me back before we went in to sign the paperwork to say there was a misunderstanding between him and the floor manager and that the new offer was $1200 over invoice.
We just picked up a MDX w/ Tech/Ent from Acura of Lynnwood over the weekend. Couldn't have been happier with the experience. Ask to speak directly with the Internet Manager or General Sales Manager.
A couple of years back I bought a car all cash, we worked out a number and that is all I paid. They just stuck a temp plate on it, I drove it out and I did the rest, tax, plates, registration. Is that not the case if I finance?
Like I said when I bought a Toyota about a year or so ago it never even came up. My offer of was accepted and thats what I paid.
But you're right, one should always try to can get the doc fees rolled into your "walk" number.
I just bought my MDX Sport/ent for 43,000 everything included but the tax, I bought out of state. I didn't have to deal with any crap. No four square, no here are your payments, or our car is too good for you crap. Sell me the car, and move on, or I will. Let the suckers go out of business. I will pay more to avoid buying from a crappy dealership.
I also ended geeting the 7yr/100K ext warranty for $1675.
can you please tell me where did you buy your car?
thanks
I am also planning to buy at Acura of Lynnwood. MDX 07 Sport/Ent. package. With Roof Rail/Crossbar, Chromed Running Board. They quote me MSRP $54,133.00. and the Out Of The Door Price $59,392.09. I did not make any offer and told them that I have to search the internet before making any offer, and they agree to call them back on monday. How much do you think is the fair price for this configuration or should I use the COSTCO AUTO PROGRAM instead.
Did you pay below or above invoice with your deal to them.
The invoice shouldn't be more than 44,500. No one is paying more than invoice these days. Either the dealer is stupid or he thinks you are stupid. You can get a fully loaded X5 for that price.
One personal experience is that the downtown dealers are more tricky than small town ones. So even they offer the same price, I'll go for small town ones if it is not too far(within 30-40 miles). I live in Bay Area and pick up my MDX/Tech last Saturday. That's just my feeling. YMMV.
Are you sure the $54,133 is correct? That is about $6k higher than the MSRP showing on Edmunds and about $9k higher than what you realistically should be able to get this car for in western Washington. I know that people on this board from around the country have been getting deals below invoice, but that just is not happening here in the NW. I would aim for around $200 - $600 over invoice as a realistic target, depending on the time of the month. Also, ask to speak to the sales manager/internet manager to skip past the consultants who have no negotiating authority.
Don't waste your time with the Costco program - in the Seattle area, they will send you to Acura of Bellevue which has an exclusive with Costco in western Washington. After luring you into the showroom with a promise of "exclusive aggresive Costco pricing", Bellevue will reveal that their "non-negotiable" Costco price is $2,500 over invoice...not much of a deal.
Finally, although my buying experience with Acura of Lynnwood was head and shoulders better than Acura of Seattle or Acura of Bellevue, I thought their pricing on accessories was about 30% higher than the other dealerships. So I ended up buying the running boards, front/rear garnishment and roof rail/crossbar online (hondaacuraworld). Surprisingly, there was also a huge discrepancy in how much the dealerships charged for installation. Bellevue and Lynnwood, for example, gave me quotes for installing these accessories that were 50% higher than Acura of Seattle.
Acura still has the 2.9% financing for 36 months.
I am looking to buy one with Tech and Ent Pkg. Black ext no pref on interior color.
I have been negotiating with all the dealers in Houston and the lowest I have got right now is 42,500 plus TTL.
John eagle is giving free oil change for 4 yrs but they are more then making up that cost by charging you $219 for putting nitrogen in your tires (Which you did not ask for) and $200 odd for tining the front mirrors - which in the local market will cost you less then $100.
If anyone else in Houston has any experiences to share - please do share.
Thx
Note, that is markedly higher than invoice and includes prep, detailing, delivery, etc...
It comes out to $1100 over invoice.
Can you give the dealership name and details? I am also in market for Tech & Ent.
Thx
Be careful at John Eagle - they tell you that they will give you 4 yrs of free oil change but charge you for Nitrogen and Window tinting, we you dont really want.
Yes $54,133.00 with RR & CB, tow package and the 20" wheels that my wife really like on the showroom. Out of the door $59,392.09 this is the quote he gave to me to take home and think over for counter offer. We just decide not to call them back and not get embarrassed if we ask for below invoiced. Anyway Acura of Seattle just wasted my time this afternoon Monday 8/06/07. The salesman that I am supposed to meet at 2:00 pm did not show up. He reply on my e-mail and talk to me on the phone last Friday 8/03/07 . I asked for invoice +TTL and to my surprise ask me when do I want to pick-up the car. The salesman this afternoon was nice and helpful but the floor manager kinda rude and telling me that are trying to put me out of business? I said no I'm here to pick-up the car. He said the salesman that I talked last Friday 8/03/07 doesn't have the authority to negotiate the price. I said okay. Then I left. I guessed I will wait for the end of the month and see what is up there for me. Thank you anyway for all your help in this very informative discussion.
Highly recommend giving him a call.
Acura of Seattle played the same game with us last week. We reached our "at invoice" deal with the floor manager over the course of two days of negotiating over the phone only to have the sales manager pull the deal and come back with $1,200 over invoice just before we were going in to sign the paperwork. Apparently, the floor manager didn't have the authority to negotiate the price either.
I think I've seen the MDX you're talking about. They were pulling a MDX you described into the showroom last weekend after they pulled the one we picked up out of the showroom. That is one sweet looking ride with those rims. However, even with the upgraded wheels, $54k is still way to high. Like I mentioned before, Lynnwood overcharges for accessories/labor in the showroom. Acura of Lynnwood actually operates an Ebay web-store that sells the same parts for about half of what they quote you in the showroom (+shipping and tax since they won't allow you to pick up locally). Those wheels should be around $1,600 and of course you'll have to add on the cost of the tires. The RR & CB should not be more than $350 + $120 for installation based on the prices I got.
Also try Hinshaw's Acura down in Fife. Although they couldn't match Lynnwood's price on the MDX for us, they were pleasant and helpful.
How long ago was that? Could you give me some details about who to spoke with and what did you do to get such a deal? I spent over an hr with them and they were not willing to go down on the price.
