MSRP: $46,980
Sales price: $42,400 ( I believe the dealer is including their $589 doc fee in this as it is not showing elsewhere on the worksheet)
Any room there in your opinion?
TMV is $44,604 which is about $900 over invoice. Your offer is $1,200 under invoice and about 10% under MSRP.
I think you have done well to get a quote 10% off on an MDX. Doubt that there's much more negotiating room on it. But sure, try to round it down to $42k even.
Please keep us posted!

2017 MDX SH-AWD with Tech Package
Price: $46,236 + $295 fees = $46,531 before taxes and tags
I'm in VA but the quote is from MD. Anything I need to look out for with purchasing out of state?
I've received quite a few quotes and they're hovering in the $46,531 to $49K range. There hasn't been any active negotiation yet.
Your quote before fees is around 10% below MSRP and around $1,500 below invoice. A typical range for a good deal is 6 to 12% off MSRP, and the lux imports tend toward the 6 to 8% end of the range.
Those sounds like good quotes to me. Any doc fee over $50 is too high but yours isn't too bad. May as well target $46k OTD and see if you can get a couple of dealers fighting over you.
About buying out of state, the dealer should know how to get the taxes figured out so you aren't double-taxed and they should know how to work with the DMVs in DC/VA/MD, since it's pretty common up there for people to travel out of state to buy.
The one wrinkle that could tag you is that lemon laws usually don't apply to cars purchased out of state. Virginia probably has a lemon law FAQ that will tell you for sure. In any event the risk of getting a lemon is low and you should still have all your warranty rights to rely on if you get a problem child.
I'd try for an "end of the year" price Monday or Tuesday because I think the official year end (at least for Honda) is 1/3/17. Well, strike that, this post says the safer bet is 1/2/17.
8% off would be ~$47,200. Might be the best target for your area.
Good luck!
(any other shoppers in the Northeast with quotes to share?)
I live in Austin, TX and the best price I got was $39,600 + TTL for 2017 MDX Base FWD from Mac Churchill, Dallas, TX. Guess is this is a good price (~12% off MSRP)?
Planning to go there tomorrow to finalize the deal.
Thanks,
Saru
Austin isn't a great car buying area so good for you for shopping Dallas. I think 12% off MSRP for an Acura in Texas is good. Tough market in a lot of ways. You're coming in below both TMV and invoice.
Please report back and let us know how it went. And good luck!
thank you
We pick up our MDX at 2 pm so looking forward to it. We also added front/rear sensors to our vehicle because my wife wanted them but did not want to pay the 6K for the Advance package, well really 8K, because we need the second row bench and would have to get the entertainment package as well.
Anyway, adding sensors may be an alternative to folks that just want more safety but not the full advance package.
That looks like a terrific deal and good decision to buy in Dallas instead of Austin. I live in Austin too and the best deal we could find for the base model was in San Antonio and we paid $41700 + TTL (original MSRP+destination fee was $44890, so $3200 discount = $41700).
So your $39600 is $2000 cheaper.
We also spent $2500 in add-ons including mats, body side molds etc - basic stuff like spare tire does not come with the vehicle and they charge $700 for it!
What is the absolute best price anyone has gotten on a base MDX w/ AWD? Anyone know of any rebates or incentives coming within next 3 to 6 months? Thanks
$45,950 pre-tags, tax etc.
$48,000 OTD
Thanks to @stever and everyone on this helpful forum!
'17 MDX AWD Base: 43,000 w/ mats and wheel locks
'17 MDX AWD Tech: 47,000 w/ mats and wheel locks
+ tax, title, fees
Sound about right?
Looking for a AWD with tech package.
So far the best offer I've received is 42,125, with an OTD price of 45,884. I think that this is a good price but I want to hear other people's opinions.
What are the main components of the price, other than tax. Please help.
Dealer doc fees are restricted to $80, by statute.
That's about it, unless you ask, or agree to extras.
