Wondering what deals there are out there right now. I read someone had 2 dealers give them $2500 dealer cash and $1500 AHFC loyalty incentive. When I asked one dealer here in CO he said that was for leased vehicals. Is that bull?

I want to upgrade my 2008 base black to a 2009 tech grey, but not if it's going to cost me an arm and a leg.

I bought in march, but Acura has renewed the 2500 mfr to dlr rebate and loyalty is good but there are some notes...

Thanks for the info!

hmm, it's a bit confusing. I just got off the phone with Acura services 1-800-382-2238. They said there are no rebates going on right now. The only deal is the $1500 Loyalty rebate for leased vehicals, not purchased ones.

check edmunds...they usually have a pretty accurate lowdown of outstanding incentives/deals

I bought my RDX at the end of March and got the $2500 dealer cash incentive from Acura.

I agree with the other poster regarding checking Edmunds.com for prices and incentives. That's where I did my research and I got a good deal.

I bought my RDX March 28th. They said there were no incentives, BUT Edmunds and CarDirect listed the average RDX for 33ish. I went in with this figure and after two figure runs to his manager, the sales man agreed to $33k. If you research Edmunds, RDX stock is extremely high and buyers all over the US, especially the east coast are getting tech's for mid $32k's.

I got $4000 off when I bought mine, my friend works at Acura

I just bought one. $33300 at Flatirons Acura in Boulder for a black on black with tech package. Sticker was $38750. Feel like we got a pretty good deal.

Read my post about just buying one.

$33000 and $1000 over Excellent KBB on my trade in.

I think I did ok!

used this forums price paid to negotiate the dealer in Austin TX down to $33400.00 plus TTL for a 2009 RDX tech package with a rubber utility mat for the trunk three weeks ago also printed edmunds "what people are paying" and got an initial internet quote of $34500. Used this as my starting point and only took our sales guy two trips to the manager to get the price we wanted

Edmunds and these types of forums really empower the buyer these days. I agree they helped me get the RDX down to where I wanted and to get me every penny from my trade I wanted!

Interesting. I just bought 09 RDX Tech this past Saturday in Austin. Where did you go, Sterling or David McDavid? I got them down to $32,500.

I emailed about 10 or so Acura dealers across Texas asking for a quote (out the door price) on 09 RDX Techs they had in stock. Place in Arlington (Vandergraff or something like that) quoted me $32,600 plus TTL. When I went to buy it was pretty easy to negotiate down to $32,500 since I already had the competing quote.

I think it took my guy 3 or 4 "trips to the manager" before I got the price I wanted. On the second to last offer I told my wife, "ok, we're leaving" and he begged me to stay and went for one more trip and magically got the price I wanted.

Did you have a trade in?

When you don't have a trade you can always get a lower price on the car because there is no other end to the deal.

In my case I got them up to $1000 OVER Edmunds and KBB "excellent' trade in value. And got the RDX for $33000.

If you look at it the other way I got exactly excellent value and the RDX for $32000. It really is all at how you look at the numbers when trading a car in.

I bought a white/taupe RDX tech on 6/4 for 31.9k + $100 dealer fee for an even 32k. It's my first Acura and my first SUV. I'm definitely enjoying the ride. I just went through edmunds website which automatically e-mailed all the dealers around me and they sent me quotes. I picked the lowest quote I found and took it to another dealer that had the color combo I wanted in stock.
My previous car was a 2006 Pontiac GTO 6-speed manual. I loved that car but I got tired of the manual, especially that car's manual is really bad. Everything else was awesome about that car, I was really surprised since I was expecting the RDX to be fast and rough riding, and it was neither that fast nor rough. It's all relative! I sold my car on Craigslist in 3 days since the dealer tried to lowball me.
After my car was sold, the RDX definitely felt fast since I didn't have a 400-hp frame of reference. I still disagree with the ride being firm, it's perfect for me, long travel + firm suspension means never bottoming out.
