$43,928 Looks like a good price at this point
$ 399 VPS - Theft Deterrent (is this etching? - Don't want this)
$ 117 Dealer Documnetary Fee (Really? How easily will they waive this?)
$ 98 Dealer Inventory Tax (Ditto....)
$ Other: Sales tax and legitimate fees
So, I think I have a good base price, but don't like the $614 of fluff they've added on the deal. What's the general experience out there of getting those waived? Other thoughts?
Dealer has agreed to waive the $399 VPS and throw in wheel locks. So, $43,928 + $117/$98 + sales tax + other tax/fees.
Thanks
Thanks,
will
Fact one: They're not your friends.
Fact two: They're not doing you any favors no matter how they spin it.
Fact three: If they can't make the deal, they won't.
Would you mind telling me what dealer you got this at. I'm in DFW as well and looking to get one by year end.
if you prefer you can email me, A0192849 at yahoo dot com. Thanks

How do you think I did? I was offered a new 2012 MDX Tech w/ all weather mats, wheel locks and cargo mat for 43.2K + tax = 47K OTD but took the pre-owned.
$44,274 Base w/Tech Package + Wheel Locks + Towing Package
$ 0 VPS - agreed to waive
$ 117 Dealer Document - hasn't agrred to waive
$ 100 Dealer Inventory - hasn't agreed to waive
$ Other: Sales tax and legitimate fees
All done via email w/Goodson in Dallas
They also have a 2009 White w/Tech w/42,000 miles priced at $34,988. Haven't tried to negotiate that one; I'm sure it could go lower.
Any last words of wisdom before I sign?
I love how they try to use passive/aggressive attitudes to "gently" intimidate you. I told salesman I wanted a quote on new 2011 Base (or sport- as some sites call it) and Tech, as well as slightly used (12,500 miles) 2011 Tech. He immediately started correcting me on the packages and educating me about all the perks. I was really in no mood to either listen or negotiate (But had to use my day off) and I already KNEW what I wanted, what my budget was, as well as what features were found in the mix of style choices!
I also had a potential trade-in which he seemed to zero in on, forgetting his original idea of knocking 1,000 off the Internet price. At the end, I walked away with a pretty poor quote for their USED 2011MDX Tech w/ 12,500 miles - $45,000, (Just $888 less) not including additional Doc. fee of $150 (Which I would negotiate) State and local taxes, $4,400, (Need to have broken down) and license and fees ($252.50??) ttl. a whopping $49,677.50 A shock after reading about all the New OTD MDX Tech Prices at 42K and 43K. And the trade-in? A very well taken care of 2004 MDX w/ touring package /68,900 miles that I was originally offered 13K for, and he bumped it to $14,000. And that, he said, was his best deal. I asked him to throw in some running boards and roof rack, but he wouldn't even cough them up. Now I'm thinking about negotiating on-line and flying into an eager car dealership to purchase, then have the car shipped. Def. appears to be worth the cost, with these numbers. I wonder what the other NW dealers will come up with and how much the prices will go down during the last week of Dec.
Btw, I've never seen any site refer to the 2011 base model as "sport." "Sport" was a step-up package from Tech, just like "Advance" is now a step-up from Tech. That's probably why he started correcting you.
What dealer in Seattle you went to? I got a quote from the Lynnwood dealer ($43k) and a Portland dealer ($42.5k). I made an counter offer of $41.5k but they did not take it. The quote is for a 2012 MDX base.
Good luck
That sounds like fantastic pricing. I'm interested in your out-the-door with the various fees, etc (not sales tax). Also, did you have a trade on that deal? $42,900 is a almost a thousand less than my deal without towing. I haven't seen any other comments on pricing as low as yours... Did you get charged the VPS, Document and Dealer Inventory fees?
Of the various fees, i was only able to get the VPS removed.
The final OTD was little less than 46k.
Not sure why you get different costco pricing but this is what I see even today - http://www.costcoauto.com/new_cars/buildvehicle.aspx?trimid=329816 you can print this and show it to the dealer and work your deal on top of it. Acura of Manhatten accepted this price and agreed to throw in accessories (check my earlier post) for free. Again 40,300 doesn't include tax and doc fee etc... Hope this helps.
All the best...
I live in DFW but shopped Houston and found Goodson had what I wanted.
I had trade-in, running boards, roof rack, tint etc.....Might have paid a little higher than the lowest mentioned here but real happy overall.
In 2008, went to Houston to get best deal on 2008 TL type S.
They were willing to do 2011's at much more aggressive pricing.
I am planning to buy a mdx advance or an advance entertainment this week. Could you tell me name of the dealer in atlanta? What price did you end up paying. If you could reply as soon as possible, I will really appreciate your help. I am on my way to a dealer.
Thanks
