Thinking about pulling the trigger on a 2009 Acura RDX Tech Black on Black. It's only got 2011 miles on it. Ran the gauntlet on the buying guides (Edmunds, KBB, and Nada) and they all seem to agree relatively close. Looking to upgrade from a 2006 TSX. The dealership has it listed for 35900. Should I try to get it down lower. Any opinions or recent purchases from the members?

Thanks!

christ, for 35900, buy a NEW one

Try to get it a little lower or get some accessories thrown in. The price may be worth it over a new one if you like the pre 2010 design, I know i do...

Bought a non-tech '09 CPO for 27,300 with 14,500. Even with only 2k miles it doesn't seem like it should be 8k more. Maybe 3 or 4k? It's not 'Brand New'.

if a sticker of 35k plus is ok with you, and you dont mind the 2010 styling, there is no reason not to get a new RDX, in the old model not only are you taking a depreciation hit off 1 yr old model right off the cuff, but its also an old design....additionally,there is more value in the RDX in base form....if u really need the installed nav, then obviously u need it, but if not, save 2500, buy a garmin for 100 bucks, which is better anyway, and enjoy a new vehicle.

I'm not a big fan of the new styling. I was in the market for a 07 MDX when I came across this one. I agree with the pricing. It is a bit steep for a used vehicle. The dealer says that it was an executive model. whatever that means. I'm going to stop by tomorrow and start pretty low at 31k.

thats what they always say lol - o this one was used by the 'owner' or the 'exec' of the dealer; o yea? who gives a shit that prob means it was abused even more

I mean - if that thing was sold at a clearance sale NEW last summer - youd be going home in it for a selling price lower of what they are asking - so even with its 2k miles its got a lot of things going against it and in your favor - but i agree - i 100% despise the 2010 so its tough, may have to pay a lil more to get the one you want

Not sure if you've already bought but I would definitely get that down if I were you. I bought my 2008 RDX Tech brand new for $36,000 (all costs). Like one of the posters said I would buy a new one if you're willing to pay that amount of money. I would try and get that down to $31,000 if you can. I thought as soon as the car "went off the lot" it depreciated a ton???? Though it sounds like this is a "dealer" car.

Start at $30,000 or $29,000, because for 8 out of the 12 months that the 09's were out their was a $2000 dealer cash rebate. I was going to buy a brand new 2009 AWD-Tech for $32,467 (0 miles) back in August. Minus hold back, the dealers cost new would have been $31,200. So, if I were you I wouldn't pay a penny more than $32,467.

Oh, the reason I didn't buy it is that the deal expired. So I bought a 2010 AWD-Tech for $35,790.

35.9???!!??

My local place has an 09 base for 30 flat.

Even with tech thats a VERY high price. Start your negs at 29.

I'll be stopping by the dealership tomorrow after work. I stopped by there today but the sales manager I'm working with wasn't. I was only there to pick up my spare key for my TL and took a look at the price again. 35.9 for a CPO 2009 and not more than 5 feet away was a brand new 2010 for 33! Granted it was the base model SH-AWD. still though!

Do you have to pay freight, pdi etc...?? if it is being handled as a "used" vehicle then you can save quite a bit of money plus you can haggle that price I'm sure.

If it is being handled as a new vehicle then try to find a new one unless you prefer the older styling over the new one.
