In a previous email you mentioned that you had the dealer cost on MDX accessories. Could you email those prices to me at dannyboyee@aim.com... also, how did you get your accessories for below cost?
thanks
Thanks.
My price: $42,589 with roof rails, mud guards, all weather mats, cargo mat and clear bra.
I bought it from Pikes Peak Acura in Colorado Springs and had a pleasant experience. The only gripe I have is there is so much stuff on the car, it takes all day for the salesman to explain it to you. Just kidding.
In regard to your lease of an MDX in the Northwest. I have emailed 2 Acura dealers in the Seattle Area in hopes of buying a 2007 Sport/Ent to replace my '02 MDX. One offered me 46,500, and the other never answered my emails. Another friend of mine never got a reply to his email from Acura when he wanted to buy the next day & is going to buy a different car altogether. He had an '01 MDX. I don't think the Northwest dealers really want to sell cars right now unless they are leasing them. I am very tempted to go buy a Toyota or Lexus. I am so fed up with the Washington State Acura dealers. They will try to sell you over invoice & close to MSRP no matter what. I have loved my MDX, but it might be my last. Good luck to you!
My price- $40,300 plus tax and title.
I hope this information helps. If you're in the market and this is of interest contact me and I'll put you in touch with my contact at the dealership.
I called up Planet Acura in Downey, CA (Southern CA)and spoke to the internet manager (although he could not make it in today so I dealt with 2 other salespeople and they were all good) who gave me the deal that I wanted (or extremely close) based on the info I collected on this forum.
I just purchased a Nimbus gray with taupe interior, Sport model MDX for 41,600. That included auto dimming mirror, cargo net, bike tow hitch, wheel locks, cargo tray and mud guards. Only tax and license were extra (no destination charge or document fees).
The whole deal went very smoothly and quickly (even though my salesperson who made the telephone deal had a family emergency and could not make it in today).
I highly recommend that you try Planet Acura if you are in the Southern California area.
Let me first say that this forum has been so usefull,I finally bought an mdx sport package in NJ last week,the car is really GREAT....I need some information though,at the time of purchase of the vehicle the dealer was offering some kind of protection package for the tires,incase of any road side hazards or run in to anything which ruins the tires, they will replace the tires for free, the package was around $600 for 5yrs,I said I will call him and let him know in couple of days, did anyone out here buy that package, do you guys think it is worth? or do you know any place else where we can get that for cheaper price....
- Roof Rails
- Cross Bars
- Front and Rear Garnish
- Sport Running Boards
- wheel locks
- side body molding
Total cost before Tax and license was $44,000. Their accessories were around 20% less than retail. In addition, I also bought the 7 year/100,000 miles extended warranty for around $1900. If I don't make any claims in those three years I get my money back.
The South Bay, Peninsula and North Bay guys need to learn a lesson or two about customer service. I recommend bay area people go to Fairfield, CA and buy from them.
Which is better? Every dealer has the option of proposing either the Acura backed or their own warranty. The warranty that my dealer recommended included a "return of money" where if I don't make any claims during the extended warranty period I can get my money back so long as I make my claim within thirty days of my vehicle hitting the mileage or the years. Acura backed warranty does not have this clause. My dealer says that the service can be provided by any Acura dealer for the warranty they have provided.
Can you suggest which is safer among these two options? Acura backed warranty is actually couple of hundred bucks cheapper than what my dealer is proposing.
Thanks.
Looks like a good deal for the Denver area, please confirm if there was any other fees like destination/processing on top of the $42,589.
Also, did you shop around much at other Denver area dealerships?

Good experiences with Acura of Ramsey and Morande Acura in Berlin CT - professional and easy to deal with.
Bad Experience with Paragon in Woodside, NY(never returned a call - terrible service - still couldn't get a price after 2 days) - Read other reviews on them - seems like they are scam artists.
Greenwich Acura, Acura of Westchester, Rallye Acura and Acura of Valley Stream were all at least $1-2k higher - and not willing to budge.
Hope this is helpful. Thanks for other posts - definely able to help me get a good deal.
We are expecting our first born and hence want to replace our coupe with a SUV. It will be either a Lexus RX 350 or a MDX.
We are looking for the 2007 MDX base model (with running board) in Northern VA. The assumption is that 2007 model will be a lot cheaper (2k or more) than the 2008 models. if that is not true, we would have gone for the '08 model.
What price should we aim for paying for the base MDX around northern VA (Vienna/Fairfax) area?
In this forums some people have posted that they were able to buy MDX less than the invoice. Is it reasonable to ask for $1500 or $2000 less than the invoice?
Also, any suggestions if the extra cost of the Tech Package is worth it?? What should we target to pay for the 2007 MDX with tech package and running board)
Do share if you know of a good dealership where I can get a good deal.
Thanks,
CB
The TECH package is truly amazing and worth it. The sport running boards that I got was $568 including installation. Retail is around $690. Negotiate for around 20% off accessories like this including installation.
Good luck!
I live in Atlanta, GA and worked with the five local dealers (Nalley, Voyles, Carland, Jackson, Sons) only via e-mail and phone to get the deal done. Ultimately, Sons Acura in Morrow gave me the best offer:
1. Car price (including destination) - $36,397
2. Doc. prep. fee - $499
4. Sales tax @ 7% - $2,583
5. Title & lemon law fee - $21
Drive-out price - $39,500 even.
The dealer threw in cargo tray, splash guards, wheel lock and all-season mats as part of the package. The internet sales manager, who is relatively new, was very responsive and comes highly recommended. The Finance Department tried to sell me bunch of things I didn't want, which I don't think is unusual.
I purchased a 2007 MDX Tech/Ent from Rick Case in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Everything was perfect until one week after the purchase when they called me from the finance department saying that my credit could not be approved as signed and that they had to increase the rate from 2.9% to 5.9% and extend the term from 36 to 60 months. My credit is excellent, so there is no reason for that.
YOU BETTER TRY OTHER DEALERS.
Price paid: $42,500
Dealer Fees: $499
Title/Transfer & Wheel locks: $300
TOTAL ~$43,300
What? This sounds too strange. So both parties (you and the dealer) signed a contract, a written contract, outlining the terms of the loan and now they are going back on it and changing it? Based on what? They should have done a credit check prior to offering you the loan and I cannot imagine that they didn't do such a check. If you haven't done so already, I would call a lawyer to check into the legality of such a scheme. What if you don't accept the 5.9% rate and the extended term?

For local people, OTD price is $40411 with So. Cal 8.25% tax and DMV license fees.
They still have black, blue and silver as far as I know and many choices for the one with Tech. or Sport.
Best buying experience I ever had.
40,000 = 2007 MDX Tech (including destination)
350 = auto-dimming mirror
299 = documentation preparation charge
2,017 = sales tax
65 = registry of motor vehicles fee
================
42,731 = out the door price
A very pleasant experience with Acura of Boston. Negotiated the price for the car itself over the phone. Got to the deallership and negotiated a price of 350 for the auto-dimming mirror. Other accessories that I want do not require installation, so I'll just order them online from one of the sites mentined on this forum.
Cheers

$44600 on the road. Wheel locks and Cargo liner included in the price.
I also got customer loyalty program for $795 - oil and filter change for life + 10% discount on routine maintenance, parts and labor for life = not sure I did the right thing by purchasing this plan for $795
And I did shop around a bit. I tried to do a deal with Mile High Acura on Havana Street but they wouldn't budge from about $44,500. I would have preferred to buy from them since they are only a few miles from my house. I talked to a friend who purchased a 2007 TL several months ago... he tried to deal with Mile High and ended up going to Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs just like I did.
mdx w/tech, sport running boards, wheel locks, cargo cover and tray
$40,500 incl dest
$95 doc fee
ttl addl
this board is great
John Eagle: $42946 before TTL
Sterling McCall: $43144 before TTL
Seems a little high. Also Sterling McCall quoted me a 6.25% state tax, but I thought the TX state tax was 8.25.
Would appreciate any input/guidance. Thanks!
