This is a good deal. You got $500 below invoice along with .9% apr. The dealer is going to make money some where which he did on the labor for accessories. I bought the MDX in Dec 07. Then got the side steps from NY dealer and got it installed from a local shop for $75. The total labor on your vehicles was around 2-3 hrs. So $600 on that was good profit for them thats why he agreed on such a good overall price.
How come the taxes were so low ? Which state did you buy ?
Enjoy your vehicle.
not sure, sorry... but you would still have to add $499 dealer 'fees', tax, tag, title to get OTD proce...
The dealers in the ATL area- were offering one or the other- as the incentive is from Acura- not the dealer... and these are purchase incentives. They were all really firm about it.
I think the price that you have at 40,001 is without the pwr lift gate?
No, MDX with tech and liftgate for 40001. Maybe its my region? If this is the case, maybe my region has 2.9 AND 2k dealer incentives?
I will, however, negotiate using the Jersey price though; it's better.
2. email 3-5 dealers in your area, telling them that you are prepared to buy this week and request them to give you their best offer within 72 hours.
3. sit back and let the bidding war begin.
3a. don't go to a houston area acura dealer and give a lowball offer. i did and i found out that this is a bad idea the hard way.

I am located in Texas, 6.25% Tax, my doc fee is only $55.
Our sorry price was just at 40500 OTD Base model with just a roof rack and running boards(the base option at that) and 2.9% financing.Its not asking for the moon is it??!!They quote 43750....jeez!!!! :mad:
SO after reading posts here i feel reassured i can stick to my guns..this is in Austin,TX..i am also looking at SA,Houston and Dallas...a drive to save a few thousands..no brainer.
City/St - Acura MDX price (base model)
New Jercy- $36,328
Houston- $37,228
Chicago- $37,000
Dallas- $37,228
SanDiego- 35,628
Los Angeles-$35,528
Atlanta - $35,628
So if you fly out somewhere else for 200 bucks and then can drive back..you still could save a good one grand. Hope this helps!
By buying out of state, you have to count the gas and mileage which I believe many owners hesitate in driving such a long road for a newly purchased MDX.
Even if you make a deal online and have them ship it to your home, you are talking about at least $700 in shipping door to door.
OTD 41k
Base + TTL with
Cargo trays,All weather mats,Wheel locks,Roof rack,Sports running boards.
For the price with 2.9%,
In austin itself,so saved us a trip to Hous/Dallas/SanAnt.
Called up almost all dealers in the 4 cities and got a few e-mails assuring me of the price and Int rate which i took the dealer here and they matched it.So in the end worked the phone and had a painless closing.
Good luck all you guys.I hope i did good,then again why dint i ask for packages i am rally happy though.We got the car we wanted.
Invoice $40901
Neg. Price $41401, less 2K dealer cash
$39401 plus dlr cost for Sport Running Boards($715) and All season mats ($109)
Qualified for the last promotional financing rate (4.9%)- (qualified for the lowest super preferred rate, but dealer cash can't be combined with 2.9%)- payment is the same with invoice @ 2.9 or invoice less 2k at 4.9- figured it's better to owe less on the car overall.
Dealer is in Memphis- they've figured out that it'll cost anyone about $500 between gas, car rental, plane ticket, whatever, to get to Atlanta, St.Louis, etc., and drive the car back here, so that's how much they marked it up over invoice.
Makes sense to do the deal since we'll be getting it serviced at the dealer we bought from, etc. Already bought a 07 TL from them- worked that deal same way.
Atlanta dealers (Ed Voyles Acura) generally deal at invoice and will offer the 2k dealer cash fairly readily. St. Louis wants to keep about $700, offering you about $1300 of the dealer cash (so deal would be $1300 under invoice)
Dealers seem to have a lot of MDXs right now with more arriving daily. People seem to be interested in the power tailgate option, so you may be able to work an attractive deal on an existing inventory unit without that option (standalone option became available mid year). The 2009 TL drops this fall and most dealers want to move as much volume as they can to get a good allocation of TLs when they start arriving. Use this to your advantage when negotiating.
Eventually most luxury automobiles will have a power actuated tailgate, so this feature will make the car appear "newer" to a future buyer, or had you not heard of resale value?
Acura of boston,
Herb Cornolly,
Peabody Acura.. etc
From what I can gather, the national base invoice price for the tech + ent package is $41683 (w/o destination charge).
And currently there is $2000 dealer incintive making the true invoice price $39683.
I have a few questions, is the dealer actually charged $715 (destination charge)?
Should I try to negotiate on document fees and other dealer fees or should I even have to pay any of this administrative stuff?
What should be a good price OTD?
I am in Greenville, SC, but I think to get the best deal, I'm going to need to go Atlanta.
I'm thinking:
$39683 + $715 (destination fee) + $400 TTL = $40,800 OTD should be what I'm shooting for.
Any comments or suggestions?
Doc fees, etc, are a classic way for a dealer to make up some profit lost during negotiations. Give the customer invoice but then hit them up with a $400-$500 documentation fee. The actual cost for the dealer to do documentation varies by state, but is often under $50. Obviously if there are tax/title/license/registration fees paid at time of sale the dealer is paying those.
The $2,000 incentive paid to the dealer can't be applied for a lease, so be aware of that. It looks like it's being used to liquidate the 2008 inventory in anticipation of the 2009 which should be out in another month or two.
If you can get the dealer to knock $2000 off in lieu of the 2.9% then that is the way to go as I don't believe the difference in interest will be $2,000 even if you financed the car with little or no money down.
I am also looking to get one from one of these dealers. Have you tried bought yet? What price did you have? Thanks.
what does tech/pkg include? All season mats and wheel locks are not include?
In any event when I ran the numbers, it worked out cheaper to take $2,000 in cash and do 4.9% financing than to do 2.9% financing with the same money down.
I've not tried yet. I need more information on that. :confuse:
All season mats and wheel locks are separate dealer installed options. Sometimes they are included along with the all season trunk mat and the mud guards in what dealers call the pro or protection package- again, a dealer installed (and largely profit motivated) option.
I guess you got it in Boston area. Where is it and how're the numbers?
Thanks.
1. Jonh Eagle: $39,489 (MDX tech w/o power liftgate)+doc fee ($499)+ttl
2. Champions Acura: $39,102 (tech+power liftgate)+doc+ttl
$40,598 (tech+ent+power lift)+doc+ttl
3. Sterling Mccall Acura: $39,998 (tech w/o power lift)+doc+ttl
All these are based on after $2000 rebate. If you care about 2.9% APR then just add $2000 to it.
This was their first quote to me before any negotiation. I will start sending quotes to each other ...lets see how it goes.
Question: do you know which dealer is the best in Houston area? Any experience?
