2. Sport model:
Dealers have very few sport model (b/c Acura doesn't make them a lot ?... or b/c not a lot people buy it ?.. or both..?.)...
=> Supply is limited so that probably explains for “hard to find”
3. NJ Luxury tax:
[Unconfirmed Info] I read from somewhere someone said that.... for NJ when buying a car... if the purchase price is over 45K.... you have to pay extra luxury tax?
If so... purchase accessories separate to save some $ from the lux tax
You should check with the dealer?
thanks for the feedback. i wasn't jumping out and down when i got this price quoted to me either. i was shooting for 45,300. invoice on the sport/ent being 44,302, i factored in 1000 for the accessories. if i work the dealer i'm guessing i can get them to drop it down a couple hundred to get more in line with the price i want to pay. but again, the color combo might be the deal breaker.
thanks again for your input
Present: 2008 is the second year model of the new generation... => invoice price.... I think is a pretty good deal....
As of 02/12/2008... Acura doesn't have any rebate or incentive for MDX....
“room to negotiate more” ... It means you are trying to get into the dealer’s "holdback kingdom" :-) I don’t think it will be easy but if you have time why not give it a try they may give you some . to help them clear the lot (Note: Acura January sale is down about 14%)
To avoid inflated doc fee and mystery fees => ask for the OTD quote
One says at 42,500 that's the price the other one says we'll see and the other says come on in.
Now I'm enjoying the action I am creating rather than haggle to no end every week it seems the price is coming down in our favor.
People be aware that the side moldings only cost 120 dollars at the most and the running boards 418 I saw on Ebay the dealers are making their money back by selling this to you at inflated cost.
They may have made a little $$ on the accesories, but I certainly wasnt gouged.
Prob. could have done better, but would have had to spend $$$ on gas to get there.
My target price is around 42000 Plus or minus. I would rather them go lower but I doubt it will happen.
I also will buy and install myself when the time arrives as I have all the tools at my disposal why not?
They are offering me a good trade for my car but still it is only moving the price from one page to another.
right now they are at 42500 so we'll see tomorrows batch of emails will arrive and then we'll see. i'd much rather wait until Spring as today's weather is awful.
Let me know we can get together and buy at the same time and get a better deal on two then we could ever get on one..? what do you think>?
option added are tint, door guard, mats, wheel lock, roof rail and towing package.
paid $44550.
is that a good deal?
We are also looking for black on black tech Entertainment as really wanted Blue on black but no one has it. I haven't brought my car to have them see it.
I told them Kbb says it is in the good range of 3800 so i told them 3500 and won't go a penny below.
I have used the angle of buying two and one dealer Prime is working on it so they told me..
I brought the car to Herb Connolly and they were going to offerus more toward a 2006 we were going to buy. I brought the car to Acura Peabody and they first were going to give 1500 then sales slob went back and ok we can give you 2500 after us waiting for the typical "I have to ask my manager routine".
Now I told Acura Boston and Prime it is worth 3500 all day long.
and they said oh ok.
But before i go to finally sign I will make them send me a fax agreement to show all of the costs before we walk through the door. That i have a firm offer without bringing the car and then have them say now that we have seen it deal"/
One example the sales rep was telling my wife he couldn't go lower than the 300 dollars that he said .I got up and went to the sales mnger and it was no problem. My wife was really upset by that.I could clearly see their tactics by sitting and listening to their crap.
I would try going to different dealers and getting their best price through the internet first as it has worked in my favor. Now the dealers are calling me and the price has now come down over a thousand dollars from what they said was bottom line.!
The other thing i will make you aware of is that the Sport package has the expensive shock system and if you intend to keep this vehicle beyond warranty repairs will be costly.
That's why for ourselves have decided on the tech rather than sport.
Not trying to dissuade you from your purchase but telling the fact.
good luck.
I'm also working the two car angle and will keep you posted.
I called the sales mgr today and got a price as I told him 2 car deal well.
Please email me at hyearm1@yahoo.com
41990 ..it may get even better when we both show up.
Congratulations to you guys. Even I haven't step into water yet, I like to see buyers feel stronger like you to play this in car dealers' market, win a better deal, and buy a happy ending. Best wishes to you two!
Is that 41990 OTD or they will add fees later? Any accessories you guys going throw in? Where you get that 2.9% 60 months policy? Please keep me posted when you guys reach the final deal. My email is ffengf@yahoo.com I may follow up later.
I do not have any information on the 2.9% rate other than it starts tomorrow in MA. All of the MA dealers are offering the rate.
I'm planning to install all of the accessories myself.
This is my first post so please forgive me if this information is elsewhere.
Thanks in advance.
Keys Van Nuys was willing to match the price but tried to charge more on the dealer installed accessories and were very high pressure.
Thanks
Thanks

This forum helps me a lot in purchasing my MDX. Yesterday me & my friend bought two vehicles from Pohanka Acura (Chantilly, VA). Here are the vehicles we requested:
My Car: Acura 2008 MDX Technology w/Entertainment
Color Requested: Nimbus Gray Metallic/Taupe Leather
Accessories Requested: Roof Rails (w/o cross bars); Running Boards;
My Friend's Car: Acura 2008 MDX Technology w/Entertainment
Color Requested: Dark Cherry Pearl/Ebony Leather
Accessories Requested: Roof Rails (w/o cross bars); Running Boards;
The final price we got is $44,300 OTD (including accessories + Tax + Tag + any other fees).Last night I paid the advance and today i am planning to complete the paper work. They offer me 2.9 APR for 60 months.
I believe, i made a good deal. What do you guys say?
If you want sales person name please email me sunilkag at gmail dot com
Thanks,
Sunil
What is the taxes in VA. I am in Md close to Va, can you tell me who you spoke to?
What extra fees did Pohanka try to get in the deal?
Thanks

I was told in both cases that there was absolutely no 2.9% deal for 60 months now or anytime in the past on the newer model MDX.
This was in the Denver, Colorado area.
I sent you an email requesting the name of the sales rep just in case it went to to spam. if you didn't get my earlier email could you please send me the name to bujji1 at gmail dot com
Thanks
Did you get any accessories?
Contact me at (Mtairyordge at yahoo dot com).
thanks
DEALER cost on those 19" latitudes in Fl (I am in the tire and rim business) is 226. Nice chrome 19's, like the ones that the dealers here are using are about 190-210 each, whole package costs dealer about 1800.. Less $1000 for OE wheels, SHOULD cost you a net of 800, plus dealer profit!..
I then went to Open Road, and they gave me a ridiculous price on my trade in, at least $5K less Edmunds' trade-in value.
Anyway, the best quote I got so far is $42000 plus tax.
I was told that the 2.9% up to 60 months ends on the 24th.
Good luck all! Please provide your experience as well.
I am in Denver as well and no dealer in the area had knowledge of this 2.9%/60 deal. It's frustrating right now here. I am ready to move on an 08 MDX with Tech/Ent and dealers don't want to seem to discount much here. Have you had any luck with discount pricing?
Any other experiences in Colorado?
Thanks
I have a contact at Honda corporate in L.A. and he might be able to get me a contact who can assist in getting the car for invoice price.
Alternatively I get VPP pricing from Nissan/Infiniti and will simply get my wife a loaded new Murano for invoice price.
In my opinion the MDX is due for a major features overhaul and isn't worth a penny more than invoice price at this time.
Don't know about tradeins as we did not have one.
I would assume that you meant GAS cap, not Gus cap..? Also, remember, the roof racks, etc. are dealer options, not from the factory
