For my 2008 Lexus IS 350 which was just shy of 65k miles I got $19,600 for it (the highest - by far - over two Lexus Dealers and Carmax) from the Acura dealership I went to. There was $8058.42 due on it. That gave me Trade-in Equity of $11,441.58
$39,252.90
- $11,441.58
= $27,811.32 = final amount I am responsible for.
I was approved for 1.9% APR financing from Acura Financial (Honda financial) for 60 months from them but chose instead to go with my work's Credit union (I work for Fed govt) for 1.99% APR. On a 60 month loan it's $1ish more each payment at $487.38. Not sure how much it would change if I decided to do 4 year payments instead of 5 years.
I don't know if I have the best price in here or not. But if anyone wants to see my purchase order, I am willing to blur out my sensitive info and share it. If you're in the DC area and can do Laurel's Tischer Acura dealership, please pass my name along as the referral because maybe I can get some credits or reward points for the referral.
Email me (my email is my username here @ gmail ) and I'll give you the salesperson's name. Today's the 29th and tomorrow's the 30th, I don't know if the end of the month thing is real or not, but if it is, it's a good time to make your move.
Two Final notes:
1) Above I've put in italics the fees I wasn't expecting or expecting to be different. I don't really know at this point if I can bring up anything but these weren't disclosed to me. But then again, I didn't pressure hard for a full breakdown of all fees to expect. I'd strongly suggest making all dealers you're considering do that. Really spell out what the fees should be. I thought it was simply going to be Tax, Tags ($180), and Dealer processing ($200).
2) For anyone sharing prices, please consider doing a breakdown like mine. I think it really gives a more helpful picture. Especially when it comes to these purchases which are so large in nature, I think it's a big help to have the full picture and not some info. I think the "OTD" prices really aren't helpful without the full picture because there are so many factors w/ each individual purchase (trade-in, accessories, etc) to consider. Just my thoughts.
threads correctly but the T.C. price sounds high to me - what do you all think? -- These posts
are incredibly helpful - many thanks!
to not understanding that yours is a FWD - thanks for the explanation. Am beginning to think dealership has a lock on the car & therefore charges what
market will pay!
Edmunds TMV is also an average price.
To negotiate a good price, take the invoice and reduce it by the holdback and any other dealer incentive you can locate. Add a few hundred for profit and use that as a starting point for negotiations. Don't forget to consider any documentation fees, which are simply more dealer profit.
place of invoice & not truecar!! But even on invoice there's a difference between
edmunds & t.c. Haven't rechecked t.c. to see if invoice includes destination but
edmunds with dest. is 37,860 while t.c. invoice is 38,160. This is for 2013 awd, with tech. Why the difference?? MANY thanks for the help
36month, 15K Lease
Residual 56%, MF is .00165, Selling Price $ 37,960 , MSRP is $ 40,315.
I think I can do a little better on the MF but other than that is seems like a pretty good deal.
$1500 due at signing, including taxes, title, ins.
Monthly payment of $550 a month.
I am in the Dallas area and am looking for the base RDX. Will the end of the year be the right time to snatch a great deal(as alvarez!) or it doesn't matter?
thank you in advance for your help
For all the people who are in FL, you guys are all doing FWD Tech, not AWD Tech? I know you don't get winter weather down there but I think there are some other advantages to having AWD like the distribution of which wheels handle the load to help with MPG.. but yeah, I don't know if it's worth the cost for AWD.
I have just bit the bullet and put in premium. figure that I don't want to take chances, considering I plan to keep this a real long time!
there is also the "why did you spend so much on a car if you can't afford the gas" aspect!
FWIW, I also have a 2000 3.2TL. Originally my sisters. When she first got it (new), she tried regular, and it was not at all happy about it. So she tried mid-grade, and it seemed fine, and that is what it has had ever since (up to 168K now). Once in a while I put in premium, and honestly did not notice the difference.
But, if you try regular, please let us all know how it goes!

BTW, if I run 87 vs 93 in both of our vehicles, I save ~$600/year...nothing to sneeze at.
I found this thread: "Regular or Premium" on acurazine ( http://rdx.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=859183 ) and read through it. I didn't find anything conclusive to go with premium over regular. I'd rather save the $5 at the gas tank everytime I fill up. Here's a link to my specific post in that thread: http://rdx.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?p=14196740#post14196740
Fuel recommendation
Unleaded premium gasoline, pump octane number 91 or higher
Use of lower octane gasoline can cause occasional metallic knocking noise in the engine and will result in decreased engine performance.
Use of gasoline with a pump octane less than 87 can lead to engine damage
You will notice that it clearly states "fuel RECOMMENDATION". Manufacturers make a distinct difference between "recommendation" and "required". I believe it's clear that Acura allows 87 octane but performance will be affected. They do make a point of not using anything less than 87 octane which I don't even know if that is available or not.
I thinks it's a personal decision. Some people like to play the ego game and say "well, if you buy an Acura you shouldn't be cheap and put regular in it". I don't view it as cheap....I view it as frugal. Maybe somebody doesn't need all the horses that premium provides. I know a dealer service manager that has a 10 year old TL and has never used premium it. I personally use premium but I did use one tank of regular and the only thing I noticed was that it appeared to drop my MPG by one mpg. I have a couple of vehicles that I switch off and am retired so I don't put a ton of miles on so premium is not a problem price wise. But I can understand if someone puts a lot of miles on that it could make a big difference over time. Premium is sometimes .40 to .45 more per gallon than regular where I live at upper tier stations. So a 10% increase in price versus a possible 4% decrease in mpg may appeal to some people. I'm not one to say they shouldn't as it's their car, not mine.
You did good.

the only think I had to add was the NJ DMV fees (registration and taxes) and a dealer doc fee of $199.

I'm curious on what gas is in the car when it comes to you. Also, when you buy the car they do a fillup for you. I'm curious as to what gas is put in tduring that fillup too. I bought it with only 5 miles on the odometer so it wasn't much gas
