Good Luck!
Initially the dealers wanted to give me $6000-7000 for the trade. Kelly Blue Book priced it at $8600, while NADA priced it at $9600.
If the trade is worth $8600, then I paid $38400 for the MDX, which is invoice (or $5350 under MSRP). If the trade is worth $9600, then I paid $1000 over invoice (or $4350 under MSRP).
I think I got a good deal. But if the assumptions on the trade are too low, then it's not such a good deal. The next time I buy a car, I am going to negotiate the price on the new car separately from the price on the trade in - all the car buying guides say to do it this way.
Where did you buy your MDX? I live in no. west and just started a search.
Thanks,

I found their prices more competitive than Curry, but (like most dealers in the NE) basically had no in-stock selection. Ended up waiting three weeks. . ..
Good luck!
I just leased a 04 MDX Touring
48month/12k miles a year lease through AHFC
$2,500 down
$435/month (total with tax and fees) Based on a .00215 money factor.
I paid $35,840 for the MDX Touring ($163 over invoice)
Edmunds TMV is $39,545 (which is MSRP)
They cut me a check back for the equity in my trade, minus the $2,500 Down payment and first month's payment.
Don't freak out just yet!
Here is where they will make their money...
My trade, a 2001 Ford Lightning...
Edmunds trade in value for Outstanding Condition w/ 23k miles was $21,280 on the day I traded it in.
I got $21,500 ($220 more than Edmunds). Not bad. I was happy with that, since I tried to sell it privately for 6 weeks at $25k (lowered to $24k then $23k) with no serious buyers. However, I went back to the dealer to drop of the second set of keys for the Lightning and saw they had my trade listed for $27,999. Maybe they will find a someone to over pay that much, but will most likely sell it for $25k and still make money on the total deal.
I'm sure if I sold it on my own and my trade was not a factor, they would have never sold the MDX to me for the price they did. They need to make money somewhere.
The business office women said she never saw a MDX lease for this low... Maybe true, but they will make money on my trade, which I feel is fair.
Everyone I met at the dealer was great and I would highly recommend them (Germain of Naples).
The gave little pressure and treated me with respect.
The salesman did say to send him potential buyers but try not to mention this deal, because they could not do it again. He went on to say that I got the manager on a very slow day towards the end of a very slow month and they really need to move some Acuras.
We are really happy with our MDX and feel good about the deal we made.
thanks again

How did I do?
See Ya

The Pleasanton Auto Mall had the lowest price at $41,045 for the 04 Touring MDX with NAV and RES. I was told they had the color I wanted but after driving 40 miles to get there, they told me they didn't have the car.
Hopkins Acura in Redwood City matched the price and also restored my faith in car dealers. Very good experience with them. Very straitforward. They didn't try to push any add-ons.
Got the Midnight Blue. I must be the only one who likes it since they are discontinuing the color.
Thanks for all who posted here. It was a great help to read what others were paying.

I'd like to thank all the posts and moderator(s) herein for allowing me to research this vehicle and get this kind of pricing. (BTW Not even R. Case would touch this price)

I like these guys so far. BTW they have also guaranteed delivery in time for my lease turn-in or will provide a loaner MDX until mine is delivered.
Thanks for everyone's postings and info. I am happy with my deal and will be picking up the MDX tomorrow.
So far looks good.
Thanks

Since I live in Charlotte NC the closest dealer here is Hendick Acura. Any experiences good or bad and prices paid would be appreciated. Looks like $2,500 off MSRP is doable??
Thanx.
you got a touring for $36,174 or a premium
What options did you get?
1. How much you spend on an oil change.
2. How long you plan to keep the vehicle.
3. What maintenance needs to be done within 24k miles and what those associated costs are.
I'm sure they are going to give you regular oil and not synthetic so lets say $25.00 per oil change. $25 * 4 = $100.00, so you would be saving $100.00/year. This assumes an oil change every 3000 miles and you driving 12000 miles per year.
So lets say you keep the car for 5 years, you would save $500.00 in oil changes.
I have no idea what the maintenance schedule is since I have not bought my MDX yet, but I don't think it would be much if anything outside of oil changes. Someone else may be able to help. But this number would have to be around $800 to break even.
Personally, I would go with the lower purchase price.
Hope that helps.

The service in the first 2 years depending on driving should only be your 7500 and 15000 mile checkups...that will also be your oil changes. That will cost you about $150 and $250 respectively.
So you get $400 worth of value there, $500 worth of oil changes (if you go to the same place everytime).
I would take the lower purchase price. You can't be sure you will be going to this dealer for oil changes every time. What if their service hours are inconvenient and even worse...they are just not good.
Even if there is VTM and tranny service that is too high -- AND the quoted "deaker offer" is for FREE OIL CHANGE NOT FREE SCHEDULED MAINTENCE!
