2016 RDX price (to be) paid

Hi,
2016 RDX is already on lots. I can see them in inventory of LA and nearby areas. I am interested in FWD Tech Package (with no Advance and Acurawatch package). Initial quote is given to me is $38,000. This looks really high to me. Considering that 2015 RDX with Tech package is closing at $35,000, that price looks big. With no major changes, $3000 is not worth (for me).
If anybody in market got some good numbers, would like to share here ? Or if somebody like to comment, how much should I expect to pay.
Regards

You may have to wait for the 2015 stock to clear out before dealers are willing to negotiate on prices for the 2016.

Many many folks will recommend against it - save the money, put it into an account and use it to deal with any out of warranty issues that arise. Chances are, you'll come out ahead.
But - most folks don't have the $1000-2000 in cash to sock away -- the cost of the warranty is rolled into the loan and can provide piece of mind for long term ownership.
That said, Hondas and Acuras are some of the most reliable vehicles out there, so the chances of needing to use the warranty are probably between slim and none. Check the fine print to see what is (and what isn't) covered - given the extensive use of electronics and computers in today's cars, one failure might pay for the cost of the warranty.

Congrats!
I am considering purchasing an acura care warranty through Hyannis or Sacucci for our new RDX. Looks like I can get a zero deductible, 7 year 70k warranty on the RDX for about $850. Any thoughts? Seems like just one or two repairs could easily make it worthwhile, and this would extend the factory warranty by another 3 years (we drive 10K or less per year, so we are more likely to hit 7 years before 70k miles). On the other hand, I feel like this is a very reliable vehicle and the warranty may not be necessary (though I also thought that about the Odyssey, and the warranty ended up coming in handy).
One option may be to wait until closer to the end of the factory warranty, and then make your decision on how the RDX seems to be running and whether you are still driving it.
Struts are one thing but if something electrical blows, you could really be looking at some big bucks. Guess the other consideration is what the coverage is.
So, if you consider that TMV is an average reflection of the typical price paid, you can figure that some educated shoppers are getting another few hundred bucks off. Call it $1,000 off invoice and you'd be in the neighborhood of $33,400 plus taxes and fees.
I think that would be a really good price. Whether it's really doable - well, you'll just have to test the market for that.
Whoa, just looked at your profile and it looks like you are in Texas. Using a Houston zip, I get $34,953 for TMV for a base RDX. Big different from SoCal.
Interested in a fly/drive road trip?
I'm seeing the following:
2016 RDX FWD w Technology - NO AcuraWatch, NO Advance package
MSRP with Destination $39,890
Invoice $37,887 (according to the dealer I spoke with today, did not check online)
Based on what I've seen on the blogs $34,900 - $35,500 before TT&L plus $100 Doc Fee would be a good aggressive low selling price.
Possible in DFW? Thanks!
From reading the CR-V pricing discussion it doesn't sound like Texas is all that aggressive on pricing on Hondas. Since Honda owns Acura, I'm assuming that generalization hold true for the RDX dealers.
Go for the lowball - you have to start somewhere (although getting a bunch of quotes may be a more effective strategy and less time consuming).

Did you happen to buy RDX? Can you please share some info on the price and the dealer. I'm looking to buy AWD w/Tech and got quotes in NJ for 38388 including destination charge and another dealer also quoted similar price and would not go down. Thanks a lot.
I am in the hunt for 2016 RDX Acura Watch Plus (No tech pkg) and i got the below OTD price in texas.
OTD Price including everything = $38000
Please let me know whether it is a Good, Fair or a Bad deal in the current market.
Also let me know if i need to shop around for a better deal than this?
Invoice is $35,334 and TMV for a Dallas zip code is $35,919. Those numbers include the destination.
I am not sure about the MSRP as i was not allowed to take any copies or snapshot, but OTD for it is 38000.
Can you please let me know if this sounds more than market value in austin texas?
I need to make decision today based on the feedback i get from Edumunds.
