Just thought I'd post my closing deal here in the DC area. I used the tactics from fightingchance.com and was able to bring the price down on an 09 tech package to 38,700+TTL. I think I ended up paying 41000 with maryland taxes and fees. With the 2010s coming out around the corner better deals are to be had here in DC. Many of the dealers in the area were within a few hundred of this number. Base models were out there for 34K.
The dealer sold extended warranty is usually too high. If you feel you need the warranty, you can find it cheaper online (I'm talking about the same AcuraCare rather than some generic third party warranties). For example, you can check the prices at
You can try to get the dealer to lower the price to match what you found online, or you can ask them to cancel. A word of caution, though. I once tried to cancel an Extended Warranty bought from a dealer, and it took over a year for me to eventually to get my money back. The finance guy at the dealership apparently tried to stall it by not sending the cancellation form to AcuraCare. Hopefully your dealer will not use the same tactics on you if you try to cancel it.
Another thing is that your car is covered by the factory warranty for the next few years. So you don't have to decide on purchasing the Extended Warranty now. You can always buy it later if you feel you'd need it.
Alright Folks, after doing lot of search and speaking with couple of dealership – Finally, I bought 2009 MDX Tech/Entertainment Black/Ebony from VA for $39421.00 (including destination & processing/doc fee) + TTL.
I'm from NJ but nobody could beat this price and I went all the way to VA to buy the MDX. I know VA is 200 + 200 miles from NJ but worth saving good chunk of cash. Also, better experience driving back on MDX !!
Thanks to weakestlink for providing information ($4000.00 dealer incentive) about the dealership and the Salesperson. The buying process was very smooth, we did all the negotiation on the email and Purchase order was faxed to me. Salesperson was really Amazing ! He helped us extra miles to make everything so convenient and pleasurable experience.
Hello Jain26, can you please let me know what dealer and sales person gave you this deal in VA on the Tech/Ent. I am from NY and am looking to buy/lease this same vehicle, however, the best price I am getting is $41,689. I am willing to travel and I am in a rush to get it this week.
Yes, please let us know what dealer in VA and sales person you guys used to get this low price. The best I have gotten on tech/ent is 41,689. Thank you.
I am thinking about buying the MDX with the same specs a you did and live in VA too. Could you please help me out by sending me the details about your purchase , delaer name , sales person etc.
Hi sleepy1906, Could u pls send me the info of the dealer & the salesman. I am looking for MDX with Tech. My e ma il is C A P R I C O RN-70 AT HOTMAIL . COM Higly appreciate the help.
Just found this forum. My husband and I have been in the market for a new mid-sized SUV. Previously had a Volvo XC70 wagon. Have LOVED my Volvo, and always thought I would trade it for a new XC90, but after comparing apples to apples felt the Volvo was outdated and we opted for a new 2009 MDX (base plus a few options). We love the fact that the MDX looks more compact and sporty although there is alot of interior room. Also like the fact that the third row seat is a complete seat and not a "jump" seat like in the Volvo. Totally unuseable for my 14 year old, my 10 year old maybe. Anyways, we just made a deal with a local dealer for a 2009 MDX base including Acura's protection package (all weather mats for car and trunk, wheel locks) and roof rails/body side molding. We paid $36,598 +TTL. That includes the $2000 incentive and we then financed with 2.9%. I am bothered now because I see all these other buyers getting the $34,099+TTL from a dealer in VA. This deal I got was the best of 3. 2 were pretty close, but our local dealer offered us a better price on our trade AND doc. fees were $400 cheaper than the other dealer. Did I do OK?? I pick it up tomorrow at noon. Having a little buyers remorse!!
Hey kewl_car, I went to Chevy Chase but lowest they offered was 41800 OTD (MDX with Tech). Where did you get yours and the salesman name please - ray_yogi@yahoo.com
Can you please please forward me the information too at ckwu511@gmail.com ? I live in Atlanta, GA and going to VA is not that far. I have not been able to get the price you are getting, and we want the exact same thing with Tech + DVD (dvd is mainly for the kids). The people here will not go below $43K .
Can you share with me which acura in ATL did you get this amazing price with? I am also in ATL, and I can't get anything under 43K for tech+dvd. Please help.
Please email me the information at ckwu511@gmail.com
I believe that Acura (and all manufacturers) build their cars to meet the emission requirements for all states. It would probably be cost prohibitive to build different specs for cars shipped to different states.
Also, I know one of the reasons that was expressed to me about why there was some hesitancy to provide the dealer name in VA is that people would just use that dealer to negotiate a better price locally and waste the salesperson's time.
That would be unfair to the salesperson and the person originally responsible for referring people to this dealer. I can totally understand that.
On the other hand, this dealer is clearly $2K below every other dealer in the NY/NJ/CT area, so I don't think there really is any way to use his price to get a better deal in that area.
I'll be there Saturday picking up my MDX. Maybe we'll all have a big meet up there! This guy must be doing an incredible amount of business at the prices he can get to.
I'm curious was well. I bought yesterday from the VA dealer and was told that the deal might not be there tomorrow (which is today). Just wondering if anyone still got the same low pricing from the VA dealer today.
I called up the same contact that was provided to me this morning to inquire about the deal, he mentioned today is his day off and will call me tomorrow, however he also mentioned that i might not get the same deals as what some of the folks in this forum have got. He s going to check the rebates and will let me know tomorrow.. Good Luck to me.. congrats for those who completed the deal.. Excellent deal.. no where comparable to the quotes i got from the dealers in NY state. will keep you posted tomorrow..
You can ask for the Internet Sales Manager to get these prices. Otherwise, you may have to haggle to get to the same price.
As stated before, it would be helpful (for future deals) if people did not waste their time if they aren't really considering buying from a Virginia dealership. Plenty of people on this board have already verified their prices paid so there is no need to call to verify again.

How come the dealers in DC and VA are around $34K for the base and up here in NY, no one is budging much below $36K?
I don't understand at all.

2009 Acura MDX Base (w/wheel locks) $34,099+TTL.
I just paid my deposit for the dealership in VA.
On Saturday, I'm going to take Amtrak from NYC to DC, DC Metro to VA and the dealer will pick me up from there.
Tax savings on the $2K discount easily pay for my round trip.
So far, very easy to work with.

Are all cars made to pass NYS Emissions Inspections nowadays? I won't have a problem getting the car registered or inspected in NY State, right?
I think NY and CA have slightly different emissions requirements.
That would be unfair to the salesperson and the person originally responsible for referring people to this dealer. I can totally understand that.
On the other hand, this dealer is clearly $2K below every other dealer in the NY/NJ/CT area, so I don't think there really is any way to use his price to get a better deal in that area.
