I feel good about working with my first dealer because the salesman called and emailed dealers in 12 states in an effort to do a dealer swap for the color I want.
I am not sure if this site allows members to display dealer's contact info here. Therefore, I will only provide this info upon request.

Best regards,
I know some of you are talking about getting it for $1000 to $1600 below MSRP in PA and other states. If any one knows any good deals in Chicago area please let me know. Also I want to know about the dealer in PA as my inlaws lives in Pittsburgh. If you don't want to post the name of the dealership here you can e-mail me at gasman240@juno.com Thanks
The key is persistence and flexibility. With the economy in the crapper virtually ALL dealers are experiencing cancellations on pre-ordered vehicles. Dealers DEFINITELY do not want to have these unsold vehicles sitting around. They frantically call others on their waiting lists to "cut a deal". If something "becomes available" you need to be flexible with regards to colors & delivery. You can be persistent to waiting a DISCOUNT, after all THE DEALER wants these to sell FAST.
Honda/Acura is very good about cutting production when they notice a slow down, so you have to "got on the list" at several dealers...
Since the top of the this board does allow us to post dealer names (but no contact info)... I purchased mine from is Lindsay Acura in Columbus, Ohio. If you want additional contact information, email me at L79D@aol.com and I'll be happy to provide it.
PLUS, my salesman just called to inform me that due to our good credit rating, he will give me 4.14% financing on my balance. The best financing the *other* Acura dealer in my town was willing to give me was 4.25%
Lindsay Acura has been more then wonderful in taking care of us and our MDX purchase!

I am quoted $1005.00 out of pocket and $499 a month for the lexus. Can Acura come under this or will it be more. I understand the MDX has more room but we do not need it. I just like the looks of the MDX a little more.
Can any one help?
The dealer's first price quote (after I told him that I need a better number than the invoice price to begin the deal) was 39000...and when I was shopping about 5-6 months ago they would not go below invoice at all. But looks like they are dealing a little now because the production has gone up and economy down.
Still a lot of money but the MDX is just simply great!!
COuld you please provide dealer name that sold you Touring w/ Nav and RES for 40,400.
Email info directly to ekhar@usa.net
thanks
what are the comparable (or better) options to the Acura’s own Navigation system.
Can you shoot me an email where you bought your MDX from? name/phone number?
Thanks

And because I referred a new friend from NY to my dealer... I received a THANK YOU gift which was the all-season floor mats, wood shift knob, cargo liner and wheel locks!
I live in Ohio and if any of you are interested in receiving a quote from my WONDERFUL dealer, email me at L79D@aol.com and I'll be happy to provide you with the information ASAP... they received 5 MDX's today and do have several on premises.
I have never been so thrilled about any vehicle purchase or the *salesman* I worked with than I am about this MDX purchase! When Acura contacts me about my sales experience, my dealer will definitely receive MORE then a 5 STAR rating!

Thanks, I do feel good about my deal and my DEALER!

When I picked up my MDX today, I was told to use only Shell, Sunoco and a third brand that I've forgotten because we don't have it in my area. Anyway, the salesman told me that because BP adds a lot of alcohol to their gasoline (especially in winter months to keep in ground tanks from freezing) that now with the end of winter, there is a large increase of engine problems with ALL Acura's. They're all traced back to the use of BP gasoline and their overabundance of alcohol.
Curious if any of you have been told the same thing? But I will definitely not be filling up at BP!

email: L79D@aol.com
The sales rep is courteous, professional and keeps his word. Most of communication is done via email. All is spelled out - no ambiguities.
I called a lot of dealers in NY area.. Within 60 mile radius its MSRP or nothing. Further out from NYC I found deals $800 off MSRP in CT, $1000 off in Eastern PA.
Dealers in NYC cannot not (or will not) trade with others. In Ohio there is a 6 state dealer trading network.
My car was not in my dealer's inventory, it took 4 hours locate and get the vehicle.
Waiting till Sunday for the new addition.

CT. for example used to have (I am not sure if it still does) has a different gas type in the winter time, which lowers octane.
By the way, I got the NAV for my Palm Pilot for $200-70 rebate and I'm going to try to return it. You need to download the directions from the internet, then hotsync to your Palm. It's just not the same as the NAV on the MDX that talks to you!
Good Luck.
Perhaps once this posts it will... LOL
I also want to take this opportunity to THANK *all* of you that have emailed me requesting my dealer information... I've responded to all emails so if you've not heard from me, please let me know. Also, when you have a chance, do let me know how things worked out for you... hopefully, you will be driving your MDX very soon!

I'm reading posts of some folks getting $1600 below MSRP. I am interested in a purchase of the above vehicle and would appreciate some kind people to direct me to the right dealer/salesman/phone number/email. I am located in NJ, but will drive to pickup the vehicle. Please email me.
Thanks,

First he showed me a Gray 2002 Touring with Navigation. It was in nice condition, but not my choice of color. They were nonnegotiable at $38,000. I just made the comment about financing a new one would probably be cheaper in the long run. His response, "We'll get this price". Then I looked at an average conditioned 2001 base model with 28,000 miles. They were still $36,000 on this vehicle. This time he makes the comment "maybe we'll budge $500 on this".
I then asked to see a new vehicle. He told me none were available and the only way I could get one was to put down $1,000. Maybe I could get one in 2 weeks, but to get my choice of color (black or blue), I was looking at a June delivery.
The Bethesda dealer was much more helpful. They had a 2001 with 38,000 miles for $29,900 plus 1 free accessory. The car was in poor shape and obviously the previous owner was a smoker. When I told them I had NO interest, they tried hard to negotiate.
But with new, they said under NO circumstance would they negotiate. They had 4 or 5 available, and even when I stated "if I write a check today" they again said the price was nonnegotiable.
I'm heading to Falls Church today. Reluctantly I may say. I purchased 5 vehicles from the Falls Church sister dealer in Woodbridge over a 10 year period. Both new VW's, Acura's and used. When I finally had a problem (of course it was the VW), they treated me terribly. I even spoke with the Owner, and she tried to make things better, but even her resolution was unacceptable. Basically I had a lemon. And to make matters worse, the finance manager pulled a fast one on my wife, which we didn't find out until it was time to turn the car in after the lease. Amazing how our contract numbers didn't match theirs, and how our signatures were on their copies!
If anyone can email me ANY dealer in the Mid Atlantic that is willing to negotiate over the phone, I'd be much appreciated.
I driven everything over the last 4 months, and clearly the MDX offers the best mix of what I'm looking for. I just can't pay MSRP. It's against everything I'm about!
One quick final note, my co-worker got a dealer to take him to Manheim this past Thursday. For those that don't now, this is on the countries largest auto auctions, and is for dealers only. A 2001 MDX with 10,000 miles sold for $32,000. With the $400 Manheim fee, that's only $4,000 less than new. I guess these cars ARE holding their value.
For everyone's information, the dealer he went with purchased a 2001 Mercedes ML430 with navigation, 25,000 miles for $25,000. He claims he'll have no problem getting $32 - 33,000 for it. This same dealer said used Mercedes are in HUGE demand -- all makes and models.
Sorry to be so long winded, it's my first post and I had a lot to say.

Again thanks for your help, and I'll let you know our out come.
From my personal experience, I know they will take good care of you! Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks.

You are not going to find a deal below MSRP in the Chicago area. I have been in the auto industry for 10 years and could not get a deal. I am going to be going out of state to take delivery of our MDX, to a dealer who was willing to negotiate.
Thanks

Lease: assuming your dealer pays all interest, (48 months * $368)+ $5000 = $22664.
So the dealer gets $22664+$24000=$46664 for a car that is originally price at $36000. The dealer's overall profit in 4 years = $10664. This is why I dont lease cars, but as far as leasing, it sounds like a pretty good deal.
Of course the dealer have to pay interest for the financing and all the overheads associated with the resale of the car.
We are leasing the same vehicle with the same amount down, only where getting $1,600 ish off msrp.
As far as the dealer making more profit on a lease, i.e. $10,664 over 4 years as stated above that is no where near true. The dealer will get paid by the lease company the capitalized cost of the contract. In this case that amount is $2,000 off MSRP less $5,000 down payment should equal about $29,200 cap cost. Thus the dealers only profit is the gross between dealer invoice and $2,000 off msrp which would be about $1,500 gross profit, plus 200 flat fee from the lease company for writing the lease. At the end of the lease the residual on that car is $19,910, which is what the lease company owns it for. Not the amount the dealer gets it back for. That is the lease companies car it does not go back to the dealer unless they purchase it from the lease company. Is that car really going to be worth 19,910 four years from now? I doubt it, but I don't have to worry about it because I can walk away from it. Thats the beauty of the lease you only pay for the portion of the vehicl you are going to use.
PA region. Last time i checked it was strictly
MSRP
You mind telling me where your dealer is located?
AS i mentioned, I'm interested in Tour& NAV. My wife loves to have Sage brush ext.
Thanks again,
Yoon
Usual fees + TTL on top of the price. Will be a new delivery. Dealer is in Plano, Tx.
