I am not getting far on price (36000 for Touring no nav/no dvd) with the dealers on the Northside. Southside dealer gave me a good quote but not sure this is for real once I drive down there.
thanks!
Price: $35,200 - TOURING (Includes destination, Tinting, Wheel Locks)
TTL : 3800 (Taxes and Plates are very expensive in AZ)
8.1% Tax and ~ $700 for plates
Has anybody got a better deal in AZ ? Hope this helps
BTW, it's a awesome car compared to RX330

My quote was from Columbia Acura by the way. Very easy to deal with and professional. Good luck!
Also,
1) how much does title and registration usually go for?
2) do people know why the accessories i'm being quoted for are more than the acura website? Odd.
Thanks!
And their accessories are priced higher, so they can make more money... :P

In addition, unless you live in a state with 9% sales tax you are not getting the deal quoted above. The payment for the deal above should be $445 before tax.
A competitive lease on this vehicle should be in the range of $375 - $385 per month before tax.
Good luck -- and keep shopping around.
Hopefully your deal is going well. Just to give you some more info if you need it. I paid a $45 doc fee, $28 dmv electronic filing fee, $282 license fee and a $8.75 tire fee. All of these fees were considered "standard". Also since I live in san diego, I got the san diego tax rate of 7.75% instead of the higher LA tax rate of 8.25-8.50%. Good luck on your deal. Let me know how it goes.
Touring with Nav (including Destination charge): 36829
Accessories: Didn't get any since their prices for accessories were more expensive than another Acura dealer, so I thought I will add them on later if needed.
Doc Fees: $45
Tax: 3042.11
License Fees: 303
CA Tire Fees: 8.75
Total: 40227.86
This price is valid on any color they have in stock except Aspen White Pearl.
The final price of $37,400 sounds like a pretty good deal. It is about $1400 under invoice. Some others on this thread have posted prices below $37000 for an MDX Touring w/ Navigation, but there seem to be some regional variations. Where are you located? Can you share the name of your dealer?
Thanks!
MDX Touring no NAV/no DVD - 35,800.
Included: sunroof wind guard, wheel locks, all season mats, trunk tray, full tank of gas
The entire staff there was a pleasure to deal with-purely professional. I negotiated on the phone and all was ready when I arrived at the dealership. I love this car-it's a beautiful ride, all except the mpg calculation on the on-screen display!
Car notes:
+MDX rides like a sedan, not a truck: a BIG plus for my wife and I as we used to own a 2000 Pathfinder [truck-based] and that sucker seemed to want to tip over at every turn. +With split open and horrendous rush hour traffic in about 45 miles of driving, the trip computer avg'd 22.1 MPG.
+XM Radio...I now see why people rave about it: lots of selection and most are ad-free but personally, I won't be subscribing after the trial ends.
+Excellent power delivery - so easy to pass [well, a bit biased as our prior cars were/are 4-cylinder Hondas save for the Pathfinder]
+Comfy seats
+Disappointed with the separate key and remote fob: current Accord's keyfob is integrated but very minor complaint
+Steering wheel controls are unlit
+Moonroof controls are where they SHOULD be: at the top! [Honda owners: rejoice]
+Back to the radio, XM sound quality, to me, is halfway tween AM and FM. I ended up listening to my iPod via the FM transmitter...too bad there's no direct aux input.
+Auto on/off lights, side mirror heaters, LED illumination: never had em so I'm living the dream right now. Speaking of LED illumination, if it's at full brightness, it almost got distracting: I wanted to stare at the gauges instead of at the roads.
Socal dealer notes:
POWER ACURA: Salesguy I dealt with was good - always e/v-mailed me back [sometimes a few times a day] and no games or last minute add-ons were played at the dealership. F&I guy offered me the usual stuff but after declining, he quickly moved on. No need to bring in a printout of SM Acura's prices for proof. Oh, he took down my credit card number for a $500 deposit after he located my MDX from another dealer for but ended up never charging the card
KEYES ACURA: Willing to PM. Upfront about inventory [didn't have the color combo/model we wanted] but they don't do dealer trades. Guy was professional and always contacted me back if I had questions. Keyes was one day late than Power getting back to me: if Power couldn't get it, I was willing to go here as an MDX, w/ our specs, was inbound w/i a few days. Would've been a LOT closer but oh well.
SANTA MONICA ACURA: Best initial pricing BUT when it came time to do the deal, they ignored my emails about faxing me the sales contract and also said it'd take between "a few hours to a week" to get my MDX: I had to go in the office to start of the process. They ignored me so I did the same.
ACURA 101 WEST: Guy gave me a higher pricing but was only willing to PM if I brought in the written quote to his office. Didn't give me specifics about having it in stock as well.
CERRITOS ACURA: She was also higher but ultimately, the dealer wouldn't PM.
VALENCIA ACURA: I'm still waiting for any sign of life...never responded back to the intial request.
How I did it: started off with using Edmunds dealer locator thingy and for Acura dealers not listed, I emailed them directly from their own websites found on Acura.com. Power Acura accepts up to $5k on a credit card ["free" points!] and you can finance the rest though I cut a check for the balance: they run a credit check on you and basically state if the check doesn't go through, it'll convert to an auto loan: made sure the F&I guy checkmarked the box that stated, "NO INTEREST OWED IN PAID IN FULL".
If you have any questions, ask away!
Thanks
Thanks.
I requested offers from six other dealerships. One (Serramonte Acura) offered the same price, and was also very responsive to e-mail inquiry. One (Elk Grove Acura) offered about $450 higher, and then increased the price by about $500 on the 73rd hour after the initial 72-hour offer. (They did this when I asked if they could meet the Stevens Creek or Serramonte deals.) Another dealer was higher yet, one refused to quote without having me come in. Two never responded.
An unrelated, but quite annoying hassle was the discovery, as we were about to drive away in the new MDX, that the keyless remotes would not lock or unlock the doors. The pre-purchase inspection had completely missed this, and it turned out not to be a simple problem. By then, it was after hours, and the service department was closed. The options offered were 1) accept the car with the problem, then bring it back for repair, 2) drive our old trade-in car home and come back when the MDX was fixed, or 3) void out the whole deal. No loaner was offered (service department had gone home), nor could they get us a rental. The Internet Sales Guy remained very courteous and professional, and continued to try to figure out the problem, while the Sales Manager adopted a brusque "take it or leave it" attitude.
With my very hungry and tired wife and daughter waiting, and a two-hour drive ahead of us, I reluctantly agreed to take the MDX and then get it repaired at a dealer close to my home. I did not feel very good driving home with a new car that was already known have problems.
The next day, the Internet Sales guy came to work on his day off to get an appt. set up with my local dealer. The Service mgr also called to make sure it was getting worked out.
So, the followup was good - but the problem was completely avoidable in the first place. Further, you would think a big dealership would have a loaner available for the unforeseen problems that can arise when the sales staff stays around after hours to complete deals.
As I write this, my new MDX sits at a local dealer awaiting pickup tomorrow. The problem was said to be the master door-locking unit. Hopefuly, this is the end of the problem. If not, I will report back.
