They'll knock off $2500 on what they call an RDX "Premium" package, i.e. the non-tech package. They (like every dealership in this area) have A LOT of them.
I do a normal amount of driving and have yet to see one RDX on the road.
Agree with the previous poster about Montgomeryville Acura, would stay away at all costs.
Seems like prices on both trims are starting to go down. I agree with the previous post that I have yet to see a RDX (any trim) on the street.
And the name of the dealership is ... ?
I'm not sure what everyone's expectations of a SUV are, but folks, it is going to weigh more than most sedans. Heck the Chrysler 300 sedan weighs as much!
Anybody that has had an Acura before knows that it just gets better and better with time! Better mileage, more pep, etc.
Also, at a friends' barbeque about 6 weeks ago, I talked to a guy there that said he has yet to break 20mpg in his Honda Odyssey and he was pretty upset. But when I asked him if he drove agressively, he said no. Well, when my wife and I were leaving the party, we saw him "take off" with his wife and kids from the street and I swear he was accelerating up until 20 feet before the stop sign. Then he glided through and punched it again. That is when I told my wife, "See... that is why he'll never see 20mpg".
I'm not saying that everyone that gets low mileage drives agressively, but you can't argue with physics too much. If people that have complaints on this forum think 4000 lbs for an SUV is too high, and that they're getting 12mpg without driving agressively, it tends to invite questions about their ability to judge their own driving habits and their understanding of "agressive driving". You can't just keep accelerating into a stop sign or red light and then slamming on the brakes at the last second and expect to get good gas mileage. That is agressive driving folks. That and weaving between cars at high speeds. But the car will do much better in terms of mpg going at a constant speed -- even if the speed is high -- than it will accelerating and braking hard all the time. I can usually spot the people that do it the worst by just looking at their front wheels... if they are dark gray or black with brake dust... aggressive drivers.
Some of the European brands (for instance BMW) are also notorious for brake dust, independent of driving style.
For the type of driving I do, the RDX gives 18-22MPG which is decent. It's a little bit less than the 20-24MPG I get with my current car (Subaru Outback XT), but the XT does weigh 350+ lbs less than the RDX. The vehicles both have AWD, 5-spd auto, and high-power turbo-4 engines. I am sure the RDX would be a bit better on gas if it weighed less too.
Given that the vehicles are similar in size (RDX has more passenger space but OB XT has more cargo space) I am disappointed the RDX weighs in 350+ lbs heavier. All crossover SUVs are on the porky side these days, and seem to have inherited more from their SUV siblings than their car siblings.
Still anybody that can average anything around 18mpg on this vehicle will be doing quite well. I average about 25mpg on the CL-S and my wife averages about 23mpg on her V6 Accord. So, for the difference in weight and performance, that isn't an unexpected trade-off. I'm still puzzled how some people are only getting 13mpg or less and saying that they don't drive agressively. I just have trouble believing the driving habits part of it. Anyhow, I would hope more people have better experiences with their gas mileage as this is simply a fantastic vehicle in almost every other respect.
One thing my dad mentioned and I noticed too, ya feel every imperfection in the road. To describe it, it was like walking over a bridge made of rope, constantly shaking. Maybe the tires were just over inflated? Seriously, I felt every bump in the road so much worse then when I drive my honda accord.
He's getting 20 mpg in suburban driving (that's hudson valley NY suburban setting so a few lights but mostly cruising 30 - 65mph).
I'm in NoVa as well and couldn't get prices anywhere near above 500 invoice. Can you tell me where you got that from.
Appreciate it in advance.
I've got a price of $34740 on an RDX w/TP from my local Acura dealer and I'm pretty sure I can do even better after Xmas!
Memphis
The very best deal I've been able to find this past week in the Los Angeles area is $500 over invoice, although I suspect it will get better in the coming weeks!
Where in NJ, which dealer????
Thanks!
...and before anyone asks why I would want to pay high credit card interest, I don't and won't... It's just a means to float a large chunk of change for 30-days at no interest.
I know my local VW dealer will allow up to $5,000 on a credit card, but at Mazda I really had to tell them my purchase of the CX-7 was contingent on letting me put the down payment on my card. Like you, I paid it off within the month.
So, neither of those case are Acura dealers, but hopefully it will work out for you.
i will post the final price
i will post the final price
Awesome. They are five minutes from where I live. Thanks.
I sent out a request for bids to all the chicagoland Acura dealers. Most played the "come on in and let's talk" game. Sorry, homey don't play that.
I imagine you can get much more than $100 under. These things are piling up on the lots. Pauly Acura in Highland Park, IL told me they had 4 RDX's. I checked the lot and they must of had at least 30 in the wrappers lined up rotting on the storage lot.
Be ruthless!
33960 for tech (includes destination)
Did it all on the internet. Dealers are ready to make deals on these cars in this area - piling up on the lots.
$33,200 before taxes, tags. Got the 4.9% financing as well.
Dealer made $260 profit on the car
Invoice: $33290
LESS Holdback: $998
Dealers Cost: $32291
Destination: $670
Sub-total $32,961 - this would be a "no profit deal"
What I paid: $33,220
Dealer profit: $260
I'm happy. Car is great so far.Shop around folks - people are willing to do deals - at least in the Bay Area...this car isn't selling.

I am also trying to get a good deal in So Cal with only the base package but they sent me an offer for OTD for $36K.
I think it's ridiculous. Thanks.
-tax was 8.25%
-tags were about $200
-$45 doc prep fee
that's it
Would you be able to send me any (or all) information you had for the Acura RDX prices you had emailed to you for dealers in the Chicagoland area. We are looking to purchase it by the January 2nd date. Please email to [Email removed]
Thanks so much.
Jeff
Wow, you want all my hard work handed over
Here's what you need to know.
RDX with Tech
List Price $38,125.00 (includes destination)
What You Should Pay
Invoice $33,290.00
Less Holdback -998.00
Destination $670.00
Dealer Actual Cost for an RDX with Tech = $32,962.00
Now if you can get it for as little over this cost as possible you win. What's a fair profit? $50.00, $100.00, $500.00?
Then add tax, title, license. Good luck!
P.S. Only deal with the Fleet Managers.
