This Sunday, we closed on an '08 Sport for $47,730 (includes sport and dest) with:
Roof rails
Crossbars
Bodyside moldings
Reverse Sensors
Tow Package
This is about the best I can find in the Northwest, and by my calculations comes in at $2300 over invoice + dest (which is $42,200). I did check the pricing on an 08 in other areas, and factoring shipping came in under $1100 delta, so it seems okay.
What made matters somewhat challenging is that the number of vehicles in sport are low, let alone the color combo Silver/Ebony.
2008 - base MDX
$38,875 + TTL
Thoughts???
2008 MDX Tech package
Price of the car: $40,100.
I don't know how that calculates between a lease and financing, but I figured that the bottom line on a car would be the same regardless of lease or buy? Just wanted to throw this number out to you...
1. My understanding is that the sport/entertainment package is the option which includes everything (sport,tech and entertainment) and is the highest level of options. Is this correct.
2. Anyone know what the actual invoice is on a 2008 with everything?
Thanks
Heres what I am finding (these are prices without any negotiations so far)
At John Eagle
07 MDX with Sport/Entertainment - Silver/taupe - DEMO model with 2800 miles - asking price is 44850 + dest + TTL
At Sterling Mccall
07 MDX with Sport/Entertainment - Silver/taupe - has 1950 miles but they plan on just selling it as "new" - they said that MSRP on that is 48465 + dest + TTL but they will "negotiate"
Any thoughts on prices?
Thanks
What was the name of the Internet Saleswoman you worked with at Rosenthal Acura?
We live near Baltimore and want the best deal in town! :-)
Did you pay invoice?
Thanks!
Find the invoice price, then deduct $500 = $Price + Title + Tax
I think you'll find it very hard find a deal in the Houston area - good luck!
I live in Vancouver, WA, area and is looking for a MDX tech pkg. So far I had difficulty get a OTD price lower than $41400. Would you mind sharing where you got your deal and the name of the salesperson?
Thank You
Thanks!
I bought a Nimbus Grey '07 MDX with Tech+Ent about a week ago and paid a similar price. I paid $42650 which included options like roof rack, auto dimming mirror and wheel locks installed.
Thanks to the forum members for helping me with the price.
Here are some interesting facts about my purchase
- Sealed the deal in about 30 minutes over the phone with a few email quotes the day before.
- I never test drove the SUV until an hr before I actually signed the papers. Certainly very happy with the purchase.
If anyone plans to purchase in the Bay Area, I would certainly recommend Hopkins Acura of Fairfield. Tareq Samaha and Will Smith were excellent people to work with. Will even drove 40+ miles to take me back to the store to complete the sales.
Acura of Concord is also good place and Terry Dudley was very responsive.
I plan to get 07 MDX SE with gold color for $42.5K, no luck yet :mad:

We just bought a 2007 MDX base paid $40,500 + Tax, M.V. & Doc fee. Overall our experience at Springfield Acura was very good. Our salesperson Calvin Moore was great, very straight forward. We are happy happy
I know of no reference for the dealer options other than the list prices. Making allowance for 4-5 hours of installation, the deal -- all in -- comes in at around 6% off MSRP -- a little more without considering the options, a little less with them rolled in.
I'm pretty satisfied -- looks like the best deal so far on this board for an '08.
I also live in Maryland and am looking for the best deal in the state and it sounds like you got a steal! Can you please email me the name of the salesperson you worked with to stetsonbu@hotmail.com?
This would be much appreciated!!!
Thanks!

then you start 95% of invoice price to negotiate with the dealer(prefer the big one). Your target price should around 97% of invoice price. :P
I am $200 off the deal on 08 MDX Sport Entertainment, the dealer said $42,478.42 + TTL + Tax.
My understanding is the dealer will get at least $2K from Acura. I only ask for $1306 off the invoice, and they keep $694, nothing wrong with that, right?
Base Invoice $43,586.00
First Bid: $41,406.70
Final Bid: $42,278.42<<<<<<
I do appreciate any suggestion on wether I should add more $$ for 08 MDX SE
You mean they are not going to charge you the $715 destination charge?
what about fees: what fees and how much did you pay at the signing?
all feedback is greatly appreciated!

We reasoned that a 2007 would be a one year old vehicle by 1/1/08 so we were willing to pay a little more for the 2008. I arbitrarily picked about $1,500 more we were will to pay. Although I know it is not an exact science, but I also had in mind that Edmund's posts the first year depreciation at about 12%. We waited to see who would have a 2008 in the color we wanted first. Manhattan was the first to have one and I got a quote from them on the base model with roof rails, all weather mats, and cargo net for $43,500 all costs included. We emailed Auto Mall in Brooklyn and they came back with a quote of $42,129. But they did not have the color we wanted and would not have it for 4 weeks. We called Ramsey, NJ but they did not quote right away and the car was available from Acura of Manhattan. They matched the Brooklyn quote. I figured we paid about $900 above invoice for the base 2008 MDX with the 3 accessories. We were happy with the result and we got the car the next week.
Ramsey, NJ did come back with a quote of $41,914 but it was after we had already made our down payment. There would have been an additional $100 doc fee so we would have only saved about $115. We are 4 miles from the Manhattan dealership, and that made it worthwhile for us. Ramsey, Brooklyn, and Manhattan were all good to work with. Hope this helps.
Anyway i wanted to ask if anyone knows of a good dealer in the Pennington,NJ area. I have a trade-in 04 honda accord coupe (NAV/leather/v6) and think that now that the shape of the accords have changed it makes sense to trade-in now (i find that a styling change causes the older shape to devalue faster)
Also does it make sense to wait for next year to see if they do anything about improving the Mileage on the MDXs next year (this is also abysmal).
What dealership in what state, please? The best deal on this board last week for an '08 was 5% off MSRP. Mine was at 6% off. Congratulations!
Please tell me where you got this deal. I'm in the Boston area and can't find a dealer willing to let one go for less than $46K. Even on an 07 sport/ent I'm getting quoted $44K.
(unfortunately the costco program has no participating dealers in New England)
Bought a 07 Tech Pack MDX Sunday for $41300, which is about $200 or so less than the Costco price. I had tried to haggle it down to below $41,000 but was met with great resistance.
Anyhow, I think $41,300 is a pretty resonable good deal in the NW.
Thanks all!
These dealers will tell you that invoice price + $500? + TTL + Tax at the most. But they NEVER disclose how much Acura provides incentive/rebate to them. I think this incentive/rebate should be shared with you. My estimate is about $2000 to $3000/car.
The manufacturing cost is about $20000/car assume the plant reaches its economy of scale, then add overheads, dealer rebate and "minimum margin" etc, the invoice price zooms up to $43K.
The dealer needs to make $1000, so they should make a deal with you around $42.5K.($43K - $2K = $41K as the break even for the dealer) You are not entitled to overpay their "unjustifiable" cost.
$39433(base invoice)- $2000(rebate total) + $1200(dealer portion on rebate) = $36633
I would rather wait for $37K.
The closest Costco dealer to me was in in LI, NY and he quoted me $300 over invoice + cost on my options..(about $45K)
take a look at Claire in Norwood/Walpole. I am working with them they seems pretty good.
That was also driven by the owner's wife.
Yes, it's probably true, but I can't help thinking that maybe... just maybe, if these owner's wives got jobs and paid for their own rides, my cost at the dealership would be slightly less... without this ridiculous overhead. :P
