All others who bought MDX+Tech package recently: What is the best way to negotiate the price. The dealer is giving me a 42.5K price +TTL for a MDX+Tech package. Do you guys feel that there is still more room for negotiating? Please advice.
I entered a Twin Cities zip code on the Acura site for "current offers" and it shows:
Special APR offer valid on new and unregistered 2012 MDX Models from July 10, 2012 through September 4, 2012, to customers who qualify for the Acura Financial Services Super Preferred or Preferred credit tier through participating dealers. Must take new retail delivery on vehicle from dealer stock by September 4, 2012.
You might want to check with other dealers, if possible.
As for the price, keep working on negotiations. I was able to get an offer of $40k (and then also got the $1000 loyalty credit) for a MDX w/ Tech.
If some one can provide their experience in tampa or florida regarding price paid.. that would be helpful..Thanks in advance..
All of my negotiation was done over the phone prior to buying my plane ticket. A lot of trust on both sides were on hand as not only did I had to purchase a plane ticket but they needed to get my vehicle ready (accessories installed) by the time I landed in VA - and it was. I had the best car buying experience ever at this dealer. I've seen a couple or so complaints by folks about Radley on this forum but I believe if you do your homework and know what you are doing plus going in and not being a complete tool, then you will get treated well. I think that can be said on most things as a consumer nowadays. Anyhow, my folks saw my SUV and liked it so much that they went to the same salesperson and dealer a few days later to buy a new MDX Tech.
Just contact the internet salesperson (initials J.R.) at Radley and he will take good care of you.
After owning, I would pass on the all weather mats. Very hard to get/keep clean.
Makes the interior look dingy.
BTW i am getting a price of about 43K OTD on Tech package
If you are paying in cash, it can be handled either way. Tag/registration fees can be done separately, and vary so much state to state, many dealers leave them as so. We will include and pay your state's tax directly, and then you are only responsible for specific tag/registration fees.
Thanks for posting and congratulations on the new MDX. I'm interested in a 2012 MDX Tech as well so I appreciate you sharing.
Do you recall Serramonte's fee structure before TT&L? Guessing it looked something like this (rounding #s):
Base price: $38,700
Delivery: $900
Fees: $400
Loyalty: ($1000)
---------------------------
Total: $39,000 + your TT&L @ 0.9%
More importantly, did you have much back/forth with Serramonte? I'm looking for a smooth transaction w/o any b.s. Lowest I've found is about $39,775 + TT&L...
As far as the price is concerned he is stuck at 42.5K for MDX Tech. This is a dealer in Twin Cities, MN. Which state did you get your MDX+tech? Does the price differ (2500 in my case) so much from one state to another? Is there a possibility of me flying out to another state where I can get a deal for 40K or less and buy it and then get it registered again in MN? Your comments and suggestions will be well appreciated. Thanks for your time.
"We will include and pay your state's tax directly, and then you are only responsible for specific tag/registration fees."
Are you a dealer?
That aside, I can't decided if I should go with MDX or TL AWD. I really like MDX but I am concerned about the gas mileage. 16 to 21 scares me a bit compared to 18-26 on AWD TL. Can someone tell me what is the average gas consumption on this car based on YOUR experience, not EPA:). I coming from a 2005 4Runner and that thing is at least 15mpg. What about AWD TL? Any gas experience with that?
On a separate note, I've compared Acuras to about all other cars out there in terms of leasing and Acura's lease the best. Volvo CX60 or Audi Q5 for example (same sales price of 38K) would lease at $550 with over 3,000 down, Audi even more based upon what I know.
I would pick MDX over TL AWD, no question here, if the gas mileage is the same. But, if we are dealing with 18miles per gallon for MDX and 26 miles per gallon on TL (both highway), then that's a different story. Any feedback anyone?
Price before tax and fees was $48K. Price includes all incentives/programs.
Rosenthal Acura - good folks.
Both of these vehicles are performance oriented. You are going to have a hard time keeping your cruise control set in the granny lane at 55 mph. Most likely you'll find yourself barreling down the highway at 75 - 80 mph.
You should focus on your needs & desires when deciding between these 2 vehicles. Don't make gas mileage your utmost priority. Do you want an SUV or will a sedan do 95% of what you need?
As a point of reference, my wife drives a 4WD Honda Pilot. She does a very nice almost 50/50 mix of city & highway driving. She averages right around 16 mpg. I know the MDX has a bigger (3.7 vs. 3.5), more powerful (300 hp vs. 250 hp) engine, a 6 speed auto instead of a 5 speed auto, and a fully active AWD system (vs. the Pilot's part time system), but they are built on the same chassis. I wouldn't expect to exceed the MDX's EPA fuel mileage estimates by any stretch of the imagination.
Good luck & let us know what you decide!

Whats a good price paid? Anyone knows of a good dealer in Illinois in the west subs, or near chicago who can take me the 46,000+ $ route?
I got an offer from a dealer in Chicago,il
2012 AWD 4 Door Tech/Entertainment Pkg
for $42800 including doc fee $160, plus $20 for title and license.
Is this good deal? Please suggest.
$46000k. I will definitely provide you the details if it
Works out. I am still negotiating. You think it is still better price.
46,000 is extremly high for tech package. I am looking for advance package for around 46,000-47,000 in IL. I do know other states sell it for that cost. But if u look around the forum, u will see ppl getting tech package for around 40,000 OTD.
I guess $46000 Sami5 estimated is total price (including TTL) for MDX with tech+entertainment pkg in Chicago land. This should be consistent with the price without TTL Sami5 talked about in the previous post.
Saw a qoute from Criswell for about $41,700 which seems a bit high.
I suppose neither of these quotes included the additional profit dealers expect via the "documentation fee" profit scheme.
Interestingly True Car continues to be a dealer's best friend by showing the not so great price of $43,861.
Great deals to be found on the MDX if one shops. Too bad my better half thinks the MDX is too big.
IMHO Norris Acura is a great option in the DC area. I have bought from Norris and the deal was as good if not better than any other DC area Acura dealer. And, in Maryland the "documentation profit" is much less than in Virginia.
I am paying cash. I do not qualify for any loyalty or conquest offers. I am scheduled to take delivery from Park Acura in Akron, OH on Wednesday at $44,100 OTD. Should I take this offer or continue negotiating lower?
Thanks for the insight!
Close. Unfortunately, the "document processing" was not included. They charged me a whopping $80.
Base: $39,100
Delivery: $900
Document: $80
----------------------------------
The "loyalty" is not deducted until after sales tax is calculated; it is basically a cash back rebate that goes towards your down payment.
$39,775 + TT&L sounds great (assuming this isn't including the loyalty cash).
Bravo on a great deal. My target for a new 2012 MDX Tech has been $39k base (i.e., not including destination, processing, TT&L), which is about the best I've seen here. That said, you're scoring a much smaller processing fee of $80 than most can get at that price.
My $39,775 + TT&L includes loyalty cash so I was pretty confident I could drop it by $500 through my closing negotiations. You have given me hope I could drop it up to $700. Thanks!
- Respond Quickly to the Inquiry
- Personalize The Email Response to the Inquiry.
- Give A Price as that is what the Inquiry Wants
I know when I contact a dealer via the internet I do so because I do not want to chat nor do I want to waste my time on a visit. I will visit the dealership which provides the information requested. Really, all I want is an initial price and I hope to have it quickly. Dealerships with a sales staff which does not respond do not earn my business.
There always seems to be a dealer, regardles of brand, who appreciates the internet. Interestingly, thinking back to my recent buys, usually one a year, the dealer who invariably earns my business is the dealer who responded the quickest. Just like the article suggests.
We're going through AutoNation and were quoted a price of $42,471. Once you add up the various taxes, etc we're looking at $46,531. The Acura Care Extended Service warranty (60 months/100k miles) is an addition $1,750 for a total of $48,281. We're interested in the 0.09 percent financing.
There's a "Value Care" package that covers oil changes and services for 48 months or 60K for an additional $330. How often do MDXes need to get their oil changed and what other services need to be paid for within the 48 months or 60K window?
Are these prices in line with what others are paying? Thanks.
I have an internet special offer from a Chicagoland dealer for $39,975 PLUS tax, title, license, doc. and destination fee. Is this a good deal ?
I am also planning to add a few accessories such as Advance Running Board($975), All season Mats($279), wheel locks($189), rear bumper applique($199), Tri Fold Cargo Tray($278).
There seems to be no room for discount on these (at least that's what the dealer tells me). I was also told that I need to add these at the time of purchase of the vehicle to get the 4Yr warranty on these.. Otherwise it will be a 1 yr warranty. Any idea on what a reasonable % discount I can ask for these accessories ?
Thanks for your help in advance
