Dealer Cash comes from the manufacturer to the dealer so they can lower the price on the car and bring their costs down.
Invoice
- dealer holdback
- dealer cash
+ delivery fee
= cost of car to dealer
0.9% Manufacturer's Bank incentive for you the buyer, a finance offer,only if you have tier A or B credit and you don't take the dealer cash which the dealer will pocket instead.
Rebates are for consumers and those you should probably require be sent to your home address and applied to the car loan unless you feel comfortable having it included while in negotiations but then you'd have to be extra vigilant
Get a folder, print everything you need put in there, along with calculator. If you have a laptop even better. Be prepared
at least Edmunds says can't combine dealer cash and finance offer
it's either or. And to get finance offer you need tier A or B credit rating, which is 680 or above
'09 Base model
Sales price (i leased) 36K (includes various fees, does not include taxes and DMV fees)
Finance $40,800+Tax & Licensing fees
Cash $38,800+Tax & Licensing fees
price is $40.9k + TTL (The accessory amount to $650 ). I know that I am not getting the rock bottom price as posted in the forum, but close enough and I am happy with the deal.
I bought my MDX from Champion Acura, I have also visited Sterling Mccall Acura and
communicated with Gillman Acura too. I find Champion Acura is friendly and more willing to negotiate a deal. Highly recommend them over Sterling Mccall. If anyone is interested in the sale rep I used, let me know.
Have a look at Acura results @: www.vtec.net
Me? I'm a little tired of the game and I may look at a Highlander Sport. Hope someone from Acura is lurking on this board and seeing our messages.

I'd be more compelled to get MDX if it had $5,000 incentive.
Just got my car - i was offered this deal:
39-mo / 15K miles
Fees & 1st payment out of pocket ($916)
Monthly payment $583
Yes, the manufacturers are playing hide and seek with us consumers to make it appear like their inventories are low. I'm convinced Acura is doing this with the MDX in hopes that the market turns around. I'm also convinced the strategy won't work. Obviously if you need to buy one now, make your best deal. I think the deals will improve as Acura sees sales continue to decline. Or, if you're like me, buy a loaded '08 Highlander Sport at amazing prices!
Good luck to all and thanks again for all your posts!

If you look at messages 7697 and 7698 you will see that Bay area Acura dealerships were selling new 08 MDX with tech package from 35k - 36k.....just a reference point
Is the leather/paint protection package that the dealer will try to sell me worth it? How much do they charge? I have never had leather interior and know I need to preserve/protect it. Any feedback would be appreciated before I go into the financing office. Thanks.

You'll want to expand the section to show all threads from the beginning (its only showing the last 5 from the past 30 days) or just search for leather. I saw at least 3 threads just on leather care alone, good luck!
I just got a quote from and internet sales manager in Maryland for an MDX with Tech package a price of $38879. Are these good prices? Do they still have the dealer cashback from manufacturer? They have a $100 processing fees. I am not sure if this includes destination or not but will find out.
Thanks

Vehicle of Interest: 2009 Acura MDX MSRP: $41,750 SPECIAL INTERNET PRICE: $35,201
Vehicle of Interest: 2009 Acura MDX Tech MSRP: $45,800 SPECIAL INTERNET PRICE: $38,874 (Prices do not include taxes, tags and fees.)
09 MDX with tech + ent + running boards = $41,500 + TTL
For clarity, the 41,500 includes destination charges. tri-state area.
Thoughts?
Thanks
"The best price I was able to get for an '09 MDX base was $34,700. This included destination. I think you can for sure get a better price than $36,200. I'm in Florida if that makes any difference. "
I am looking at the same 09 MDX with tech package. Did you follow up with the sales agent in Gaithersburg. Were you able to get the price quoted of 38,400 for the base model? Does that include the destination? Can you describe your experience and provide me with the contact person via email who you dealt with?
My personal email is prasadperi@hotmail.com

Tristate? IN, OH, KY? or PA, NY, NJ?, or there are others too...
Having said that sounds like a decent deal.
