breakdown as follows:
Wood Grain - steering wheel: $202 (inc. installation)
Wood grain - trim panel: $147 (inc. installation)
Cargo net - $43
Cargo Liner $ 170.20
Cargo Tray $110.60
Back up sensors (inc. attachment and install) $671.50
Wheel locks $ 82.50
Trailer hitch $ 532.20 (incl. installation)
Not too sure on the difference between a cargo tray and the cargo liner??
Once weeding out unnecessary stuff, we end up with Tech, wheel locks, trailer hitch, for a grand total of $37K (including destination, title, and taxes). Seems reasonable?
However, I am moving to CO from Chicago and I don't want to pay taxes twice, so I will wait to purchase when I move in June.
Here is a link to their RDX (Arlington Acura in Palatine, IL) priced just over $30K. Great price for this car!

(if the link doesn't work, go to www.drivechicago.com and search for Acura RDX).
Since Acura isn't hitting targets on the RDX, they are offering deals, which I believe is a first for Acura. Incentives weren't in the Acura dialogue a year or two ago.

The lease was calculated on invoice plus about 200 dollars.
I hope that is helpful.
Car did great in this am snow storm.
Now I'm considering the MDX.
Any idea how much will be the insurance premium? I guess we have to buy full coverage, right. thanks.
The offer you indicated is about -300 from invoice. With dealer holdback the dealer would still be technically be making a profit but not much of one.
RDX is still a slow seller in most markets and apparently invoice deals or invoice +2% shouldn't be too difficult to get.
At the end of the day it's not always about getting the best deal but what your time/effort is worth. I will gladly pay a few hundred more for a vehicle at a dealership that treats me right and that I will get good service from after the sale, but hey, that's me.

I contacted Acura headquarters about the incident and they encouraged me to return to the dealership and speak to the General Manager. I am going there this Saturday and I will let you all know how I make out. I may yet buy the RDX, but I hope I don't get beaten up in the process. My cousin Ralph and his friend Anthony (aka "Fat Tony") will be accompanying me in case they try anything funny this time.
I'm in Arizona, and looking at an RDX AWD with Technology.
Back to $300 over invoice...is that good these days on an RDX?
Does anybody know what the holdback is on these vehicles?
Thanks again!
Read earlier post to find out how my wife and I were manhandled at the Acura dealership.
I had called the Acura headquarters and talked to several customer relations supervisors and upper management types. They apologized for the incident and assured me that we would not be subject to similar treatment again.
So this saturday my wife and I returned to the Acura dealership (along with my cousin Ralph and his friend Anthony (aka "Fat Tony)). Sure enough, as soon as I stepped out of my car I saw the same salesman who assaulted us during our previous visit. He must have recognized me and/or was off his proverbial meds, because he makes a fist and punches it several times into his open palm, the whole time staring right at me in a threatening manner. Unfazed, my wife and I walked straight into the showroom and (as instructed) into the General Manager's office. He apologizes for the salesman's previous antics and he agrees to sell us the RDX for $30,500. He also agrees to throw in the roof rack, all-weather floor mats, and an Acura rear bumper aplique for no charge. So 1 hour 20 minutes later we drive off in our new 2008 Acura RDX base model (polished metal metallic with taupe interior). Ralph, Tony, and my wife drive back in our old Mazda and I take the RDX. I punched the turbo and kick in the paddle shifting - awesome ride!
In summary, I was slapped in the face and my wife was dumped out of her chair at the dealership during our negotiations for the RDX. We did not let this experience discourage us and a few weeks later we returned to the same dealership and sealed the deal. Now we are in possession of one sweet ride and at a great price to boot.
Pohanka Acura emailed this morning to offer $500 less, but I was already over at Radley.
Deal at Radley was as follows:
10k/36 mo lease
Car price: $34,000
Taxes and fees: $2,189 (consists of 385 doc fee, 3% VA tax, 58.45 dealer biz tax,, 10 for nv/hrta licensing fee, 10 online filing fee, 89 license fee, 10 title fee)
Residual $19,287.30 (53%)
MF .0009
No cap cost reductions; only paid first month
Payments $504.90
Additionally, they gave me one free year of scheduled maintence and lifetime VA inspections. I feel pretty good about it.
Sure I could have balked at the biz fee and the two other random $10 fees, but I was over it by the time I arrived to sign the paperwork this morning.
Hope this helps some of you as much as you have helped me.
So you got assaulted and humiliated on your first visit. Upon your return, the salesman makes more threatening gestures. Then you get him back by buying a car from his dealership? You really showed him by scooping up those free floor mats, bumper sticker and roof rack! The $50 he made on your "mini-deal" will only buy him a couple cases of Heineken, but you can bet he'll be laughing in that beer.
Make sure the service manager throws you a good beating when you go in for your first scheduled service so that you can get a half-price oil change and free tire rotation!
Please tell me this is really a joke and I'm missing it because I'm tired...
You may disagree with my decision but I am happy with it and that's what counts.
Some car salesman hit me and dumped my wife on the floor, the only thing he'd be selling is pencils from a little cup while gliding around Times Square in his wheel chair.
I'm sorry, I've got anger management issues. No offense to you. As long as you're happy, I guess that's what matters. Good luck with the RDX.
I'm actually surprised that someone didn't ask if the incident was for real sooner!!
Too funny, Vinny.
I'm lovin' my RDX!!
And its a good thing you realized right away that you got slapped. I've been slapped by car salesmen in the past and it took me months to realize it.
