I finally ended up buying from Herb Connolly in Framingham... did you get a quote from them? They had a much lower price than the Acura in Brighton/Boston or from the Peabody dealership. They were also very nice to deal with. They never made me feel like I was being unreasonable even though the price I offered was very low (and balked at by the other dealers I spoke to).
sorry for the delay haven't checked the forum in a couple of days.
Los Gatos Acura was the closest dealer to my house. I had actually obtained quotes via email from Steven's Creek Acura and had Los Gatos match it. They weren't too pleased but we were very far into the process and they decided to match it. I got the 4.9% for 60 months. THe 2.9% for 24 and 36 months was available and I believe still is. You can get that information from the edmunds site under incentives. The sales person was a female as most are at this dealership.
After tons of research and invaluable help from this forum, I bought an MDX/Touring/NAV for low 35s. I picked it up from Tishcer Acura in Laurel, MD. The internet sales manager there is a great guy, very workable and was very friendly over the phone. Overall a very pleasent experience.
This is really a good price. Is it MDX touring with NAV? I checked around (Boston), and the lowest price I got is over 35k. Did you do a walk-in, or negotiate over the phone? I assume that this price does not include a trade-in .
I have seen on this post that people have bought the MDX with nav and dvd for 36,692. How is that possible if the invoice price is 40,497 (incl dest) and with the 2,500 rebate, is not the lowest price that the dealer can sell is 37,997 (40497-2500). I have been quoted 39,107 and they are ready to let me walk anything below this.
I got an offer for $36,592.00 in the greater Atlanta area from Nalley Acura. Has anyone else in the ATL got a lower offer. Just interested because this seems like a good deal. Edmunds TMV for Atlanta is $38,654. I am in Los Angeles right now, but will surely buy this weekend when I return home. I am thinking the dealers are trying to clear room for the new "higher priced" MDX's in a few weeks.
Thanks for all your invaluable post, I've finally bought my 06 touring with Nav (aspen white) for $35600, OTD is like $39000 (2.9% for 36mos) at Steven Creek on Sun. I know I might get a better deal by month end, but couldn't wait any longer. Real easy to deal with the Internet Sale Manager there, no hassle, no pressure to buy accessories. Time to get online for accessories now.
The dealers do get a holdback. When I bought the car I calculated that with the dealer incentive, and the dealer giving me most of his holdback, they profited a nice 76 dollars from my sale. Some high volume dealers are making more deals because, I read either in this or another MDX forum, that each dealer gets a larger quota of RDXs for each mdx sold. As the profits will be much higher on the new model they are going to still turn a pretty good profit.
I found a calulation sheet I had done prior to my purchase: MSRP 44,815 invoice 40,442 dealer holdback is 1326 Dealer incentive 2500
So if the dealer had given me the full holdback, the price would have been 36616.
Any idea what a reasonable payment for '06 MDX+NAVI+DVD with 36m/18k. So far best offer is $688. incl tax with tot$500 down. What is the money factor,residual value, and reasonable selling price for this vehicle. Dealers don't seem to want to move this vehicle eventhough its obsolete with the new model year coming next month.
Thank you to udhawn and dinnu for the well laid out info
Pls clarify though:
It sounds like the best Price so far on the Touring with Nav and DVD is $36.7K ($40.5K-Holdback 1.3K-Incentive$2.5K)
Can anyone tell me definitely, can you get the Holdback and Incentive and get the below market financing they are offering. Someone told me because financing is from Honda and the Incentive and Holdback is from the Dealer, these two are not tied together, but it sounds like they may be do good to be true
I believe we are getting close to pulling the trigger on the Touring with Nav and DVD rather then waiting for the 07 for $8-$10K more. Alot of school bills
What does everything think. What accessories are advisable and what is the price. I do not need towing and like things understated
Alright... so I've got the price down to $36,800 on a Touring package with Navigation and Entertainment package. The problem I'm having is the interest rate. I'm putting $4,000 down and financing the rest. They ran my credit and it came back with a score of 678. They're offering 5.9% but I'm holding out for 4.9%.
They said 4.9% is not possible because my credit score would need to be at least 710. What do you guys think? Is it possible for them to budge with the APR? I called a few other dealerships and they say it's not their decision and it's Honda's Credit decision so there's nothing they can do.
If this is the best deal I can get I'll take it... but if it's possible for 4.9% then I'd like to get that.
The warranty is by Acura, therefore it should be honored by any authorized dealer/repair shop. If a salepersonn told you that they would not honor the warranty because you didn't buy it from them, then don't bother to talk to that person cuz he/she is using the usual sale tactic on you (and should not be considered an honest person to deal with).
It'll actually bring the dealership more service revenue if you bring you car bought somewhere else to their service. I known the Dodge dealership on Stevens Creek, SJ will always gladly accept Plymouth and Chrysler warranty repair. It's all about money, you know.
As jdoan said warranty will be covered by any Acura dealership. The only thing that you may miss out is the loaner car. Some dealerships don't give you a loaner car if you didn't buy the vehicle from them.
That is great pricing. Can you please tell me which dealership you went to since I cannot seem to locate one that would give me the pricing you indicated? I live in the SF Bay Area (East Bay) and would like to buy an MDX model 189 for $ 36,662. Thanks so sharing! Wish me luck!
I am looking to buy tonight, if not tomorrow. Can you please tell me which dealership gave you the deal you described in detail? I live in the East Bay (SF Bay ARea) This is great stuff!
Quotes received by email request in Southern California for MDX w/Nav ranged from $35,392 up to $37,272, plus the dealers noted that they would be willing to consider further deals if I found prices lower than theirs. Quotes for MDX Touring base ranged from $33,017 to $34,797. What deals have the people in Southern California come across lately?
I have just started looking for an MDX with Touring Package and Navigation. I was quoted as low as $36,152. I am in the Tri-State area and was wondering if this was a good price. I have been looking at other posts and see that some people have gotten it for mid $35K but they don't seem to be in the same area. Any advice/help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Where in NJ did you get those quotes? Can you tell me the dealership? Also, how old are those quotes? And do you think they will get better by the end of the month?
No, there is no pre-payment penalty. But why would you want to pay a 2.9% loan early (unless it's 4.9%), you can put that money in a bank (like EmigrantDirect) and get 5.15% interest... just a thought.
I got it today from springfieldacura internet sales person.
Although I am not in a hurry to buy a car, the deals are so good, I might want buy one. The price is lower than the new RDX (which is a smaller car and has similar milage/gal - why want to buy a smaller one with the same milage?).
That is not true. There is no default prepayment penalty on the 2.9% financing on the MDX. I recently bought an MDX and the the financing agreement clearly states that there is no prepayment penalty.
I live in NJ and looking to buy an MDX with NAV and may be RES if the price is right. What should be the right price as we are getting closer to the month end and model year end.
Last week, my wife and I bought a 2006 MDX w/ Touring. We are replacing our 2004 MDX which was totalled in an accident. We were offered the extended warranty (8yr/120K and $0 deductible) for $2800.00.
1. Should I even bother getting an extended warranty or should I live by the fact that Acura's got a great reputation (I plan to keep the car at least 8 years).
2. If I should get the extended warranty, any advice on where I should purchase it? $2800 seems kind of high

good luck. report back how it turns out.

Thanks
can someone pls explain the logic.
MSRP $40,870.00
Invoice $40,497.00
Dealer Hold Back $1,326.00
Marketing Support $2,500.00
Dealer Cost $36,671.00
The deal you get depends on how much of the hold back the dealer is willing to give you.
I found a calulation sheet I had done prior to my purchase:
MSRP 44,815
invoice 40,442
dealer holdback is 1326
Dealer incentive 2500
So if the dealer had given me the full holdback, the price would have been 36616.
Good luck with negotiations.
Dealers don't seem to want to move this vehicle eventhough its obsolete with the new model year coming next month.
What Nalley Acura dealership in Atlanta did you get the $36.6K offer form. Also, can you confirm that was Touring and was that with Nav and DVD

Which dealership is offering $36800. Is it in NY?
Also, what is the best deal anybody got in NY for MDX touring with NAV and DVD.

Do you or anyone know is their any prepayment penalty on the below market Honda financing. If I can save up I would like to try to pay off early
Pls advise
