    Thanks for your responses in advance.

    I am being offered a Base MDX for 39.5K + TTL from one dealer and another matched this price. Is this a good price for this time of year and area ? :confuse:

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the info. I am in Northern VA and am looking for a base model myself. Can you give me the dealership and salesman name ?

    Picked up a base 2011 MDX today from upstate NY for $38,954+$75 for doc fees. Dealer threw in all weather mats and wheel locks! Loving the ride. :)

    Hello,

    I am considering the above model, in near perfect condition with 49,000 miles. The dealer asking price is 20,988. I tried to negotiate but he would only come down to 20,488 and he let me walk out the door at that price. It also has running boards and body side moldings. It seems like a decent price compared to other CPO vehicles listed on cars.com but I'd like to hear other opinions. KBB lists the CPO retail price at 24,390 but edmunds TMV is about 1,000 less than that. He said it's rare to get a 2005 with such low miles and in such pristine condition. He is confident that he can sell it at full price so 500 dollars is all he would take off. Does this seem like a good deal??

    I may be purchasing a base model MDX tomorrow. In perusing recent posts, it looks like over the last 10 days or so people have been paying from about 38.9K - 39.6K plus TTL. Forgive the ignorance reflected in my questions:

    (1) Does the base price above (38.9-39.6) include the $860 destination fee?

    (2) The "TTL" seems to add quite a bit --- an average of as much as 10-11% --- do I have that right?

    This is a great forum! Thanks in advance for the help!

    I just spoke with a Chicago area Acura Costco rep. He said that the discount I would get on an MDX w/Tech would be "under invoice". I couldn't get an exact price because he stated I had to come in. Wouldn't be that difficult to come to Chicago and drive your new MDX back to the frozen tundra.
  • skdatabqskdatabq Member Posts: 3
    Did you end up getting your MDX? I am in New Mexico and the Costco rep is in Colorado springs, they are telling me it is $500.00 above invoice. Hum... Curious what you ended up getting?

    Congratulations on your new MDX.
    Could you share the name of the dealership?
    Thanks

    I was offered 42,425 for a car that has 47,115 as MSRP.
    That was his first offer;
    what do you guys think?

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    I got the price initially from an NJ dealer (Springfield Acura). DCH Acura and Northeast Acura matched the price. I bought it from the latter due to the proximity from my home.

    Just got a quote for 44,450 for 2011 Ent/Tech with backup sensors ($585). This price includes destination. What do you think
  • newmdxowner1newmdxowner1 Member Posts: 6
    JPG007,

    (1) Yes. My price did include destination.

    (2) That depends on where you live and the sales tax in your area. Sales tax can range from 0% to ~10% of the sale price. Also look out for the dealer's doc fee. In some states the fee is capped to a max. In some others, it is not and can go up to $400-$500. No point getting a seemingly low sale price if you are shafted with high documentation fees.

    I was offered MDX tech 2011 for 43,830 including destination, salesman says it's $800 over invoice. Not willing to pay that much. Is your offer of $42,425 including destination? The deals sounds pretty fair.
  • sgmdxsgmdx Member Posts: 1
    I am in Dallas and looking at MDX tech package. that seems like a great price.
    I am hoping the end of the year would knock out a few more off the price
    Could you please pm me the sales director's name at Goodson's Acura who gave you the price. Thanks

    Paid 43874, including dest. wheel locks and foot board. Thanks to members of this forum in sharing their purchase prices, it helped in making my shopping very easy.

    Hi bmbacura,

    That is a great deal, can you please share the dealership and saleperson's name?

    Thanks
  • ohnims2ohnims2 Member Posts: 31
    Yes, it does include the destination.
    But I still think that I can do better than this.
  • acurafan10acurafan10 Member Posts: 3
    I am in the Dallas area and actively looking for a MDX Tech package. Can you please pm me the Sales Director name.
  • shaq11shaq11 Member Posts: 6
    Thank you for the information.
    One more question,the price you paid includes dest fee?
    what was the Out the door price for you?
    TIA
  • newmdxowner1newmdxowner1 Member Posts: 6
    Yes. It includes destination. OTD price was ~42k (7% sales tax, $150 registration fees).

    2011 MDX+tech from an upstate NY dealer.

    Picked up a base MDX from a Maryland Dealership today for $40,000 OTD including Taxes (3.17% Virginia) , tags etc. :shades: I think I got a good deal.

    wbr99 - Can you please share the name of the dealership in Maryland?
  • wbr99wbr99 Member Posts: 51
    Rosenthal Acura in Gaithersburg, MD.
  • gaucho20gaucho20 Member Posts: 2
    Arlington Acura in Palatine, Illinois will get you $200 or so under invoice without much effort. They treat you pretty well on Warranties, etc, if you are into that sort of thing.
  • thunkingthunking Member Posts: 9
    $1100 below invoice ?? Isn't the holdback on this car $1445 ? Of which they use $300 for Ads.. that leaves 1145. So basically they made just 45$ on this car ? Hmmm. :confuse:

    Hi Cyaja1,

    I am in contact with Amin and he asked me the name of my "acquaintance" that referred me to him. Are you willing to send me your name so I can let him know?

    Thanks,

    I just closed a deal tonight at Acura of Concord for 2011 Tech.
    I paid $42,986 for the car, which was a little bit higher than the lowest quote I received of $42,418 which was from Acura of Serramonte, but I went for it because they gave me what I wanted for my trade-in.
    One thing that frustrated me was I couldn't get them to throw in any accessories which cyaja1 said they did for him/her. When I tried to negotiate down the price of accessories they basically told me to walk away.
    Ended up paying about $500 additional for wheel locks, cargo cover, tri-fold cargo tray and all season mats.
  • rsmittyrsmitty Member Posts: 11
    Hi depodmunds

    Would you mind telling me which sales person you dealt with at concord?

    Thanks!
  • lexusmonkeylexusmonkey Member Posts: 25
    I just closed on a 2011 Tech with Silver Roof Rails, Body Side Molding and All Season Mats. I ended up getting it for $1005 under invoice.
  • backintxbackintx Member Posts: 11
    This is a sweet deal! Who was the dealer, and where?

    Regards,

    Sri
  • looking4mdx2looking4mdx2 Member Posts: 5
    were the accessories thrown in for free? do you mind sharing where you got this deal and what was your total OTD.
  • newmdxowner1newmdxowner1 Member Posts: 6
    Quote : "Ended up paying about $500 additional for wheel locks, cargo cover, tri-fold cargo tray and all season mats. "

    The above items are part of the "Protection Package 1" as per Acura's website and the MSRP for the same is $386.
  • blcklabblcklab Member Posts: 7
    I've been quoted $40,650 for the base MDX at my local dealer. The truecar "Best Local Price" is $40,750. Not sure how acurate that is of course.

    That is still $400 over factory invoice. What do you guys think?
  • mbmacurambmacura Member Posts: 3
    Sorry for delayed response. I bought it from Acura of Serramonte, however I do not recommend them, as I didn't have a very good experience with them.
  • newmdxowner1newmdxowner1 Member Posts: 6
    I am not sure of SoCal. But here in the NY/NJ area, that is still at least a $1000 too high. As I said in one of my previous posts, I got mine for $38,954 (incl. destination) with all weather mats, tri-fold tray and wheel locks.
  • am_odessaam_odessa Member Posts: 7
    Got 3 quotes today from Boston-area dealerships for '11 MDX/Tech. All came out in 43500 range including destination (excluding title, taxes etc) which around 250 over the factory invoice.

    Hi,
    I was dealing with Feder's Acura in Middletown.
    And although I will have a trade-in, should I decide to pull the trigger, I didn't tell the dealer about that.
  • newmdxbyernewmdxbyer Member Posts: 4
    I looked all over the mid-Atlantic for the best deal and this is what I came out with. The theme on this board seems to be that VA has the best prices and my experience at least has confirmed this. The moral of this story is don't believe TrueCar "Dealer Cost". It's BS. Just some number on the internet, that's all it is. Anyone who tries to do a deal bracketing themselves in-between "Dealer Cost" and Invoice as the best possible outcome is just leaving money on the table. Unless you are a dealer you have no idea what kind of holdback they have negotiated, or what incentives are being pushed that are not published. It also apparently doesn't hurt to buy right at the end of the month/quarter/and year.

    Car came out at $43,055. No hassle at all, was the quote I got in the e-mail. Actually when I e-mailed back I asked to confirm that destination was included in that price. The salesman said it was not, but he would ask his sales manager to see if he could knock it off for me. A couple hours later get a call from him to confirm the destination has been dropped, so the car will cost $43,055. Sticker is $49,015 w/destination, so feeling good about getting $6k off. OTD is $44,900 (3% tax, processing, title, tags, etc).

    Then I mention the color combo I want is not on his lot. He calls around, finds me the right car and is going to have it trucked over at no extra cost right after Christmas. I'm fine with ordering and waiting, but if we can take it earlier that works too. I'm going in tomorrow to try and work a deal on my trade. Was going to sell it myself, but was informed they are running some sort of 125% of book value trade-in deal through year-end. If I can get a sweet number that would just be icing on the cake for this.

    Wanted to share my experience as this forum has been very helpful to me. Hands down the easiest car buying experience I have had. Before looking in VA best deal I had negotiated was flat on invoice at $45k (destination included). Pumped to be getting OTD for less than that.

    Actually Protection Package 1 does not include cargo cover. I paid $119 for it, but I guess they gave me a slight discount since it is listed at $153 on Acura's website.
  • looking4mdx2looking4mdx2 Member Posts: 5
    That is a sweet deal. Do you mind sharing what dealership this was at, who did you deal with? I am getting a 2011 Tech Package for more than that .. $45,727 OTD from Rosenthal Acura in MD.
  • pg123pg123 Member Posts: 7
    The best I got in the Boston area is $43,236 for 11 MDX/Tech.

    Did you get a better price.
