for RDX tech over here in NorCal. Just FYI

JayCT

rdxh - If you willing to travel a bit, I suggest you check Inskip in RI. They offered me a great deal two weeks ago ($500 under invoice) and they had a good number of RDXs on their lot. I ended up buying with a CT dealer but RI had the best deal and in hindsight I should have gone with them.

I definitely would email them and every dealer within a 75 mile radius of your home to request a quote. You can then better negoiate locally if you want. Also read carbuyingtips.com for more information. They say that the best time to buy is now. People are too busy buying holiday gifts, so car sales are slow. Also, Acura Finance has a good deal on financing for the RDX (4.9% for qualified buyers). This combination (good deals plus good financing) made us switch from buying a CRV EX-L to the RDX. I am so glad I did. Have a good holiday and good luck. Jay

When I used to sell cars, the big internal concern was that with a credit card, you can dispute the charge later, and most importantnly you have a 3-day right of recission on a credit card purchase tht you would not have if you paid by cash and or check.

and.......there was a 3% to 5% merchant fee for the transaction.


Good idea - makes me think - I can always use more points on the AMEX !

I just charged 2500 to the credit card last weekend. No problems. When we bought our CR-V a few years ago, the dealership let us put the whole down payment on the card: $7000. It was a sunday night, I didn't have any checks with me, and they wanted to do the deal. Lots of air miles on that one! They may not be so willing to do credit if your history is less than stellar, though. Not sure.

Amex charges merchants more than any other card holder but yes, that's the reason. It's costs money to take credit/charge cards and, on a $40,000 transaction, that adds up fast.

which dealership?

Most of the posts I've seen have been from NoCal or the Northeast.
Anyone have experience buying in Colorado or other Rocky Mountain states?

Dealer told me MSRP + 670 Dest fee + ~400 D+H fee for a Tech.
Sounds like others regions are getting ~500 under MSRP.
Are the Destination fee and D+H fee the same thing?

I bought a non-Tech from Pikes Peak for $32,000 + Tax. Boulder wouldn't deal. Mile High didn't offer as good as a deal. And I never heard from Courtesy Acura.

Animagix

just got quoted $33,995 w/tech from a dealer out of springfield, LI

...I shouldn't look at this thread

I'm clinging on to the "I got a good deal on my trade" line and sticking with that

Oh, yeah, and STILL loving it at just about 3 months!

they wanted to pay me $13,000 for my loaded rx8 gt w/nav and low mileage. what a joke.

I live on Long Island and have not seen one RDX on the road yet. I see the new MDX's and alot of Madza's CX7, but no RDX's.

I really find this odd, but then again I also don't see many RL's either. Is Acura pricing themselfs out the market with these two?

pvsurfer

Not many are seen on the roads of So Cal either, but I don't think it's a pricing issue. While it costs several K more than a CX-7, it's so much more car!
I believe the reason is simplly a lack of advertizing (especially compared to the CX-7's TV ads)!

c_hunter

Just saw $670 under invoice offered from Pohanka on a base RDX, from their internet department. We're closing in on $30K now!

swimpunk

Ended up getting a tech w/ about 1G worth of options for 37,400 plus tax from Boulder (just in time for 24" of snow).
Finance person said this was cheapest she had seen one go for so far.
(yeah yeah, take it with a grain of salt, but she wasn't in sales, so i dont' think she had reason to lie)

Courtesy offered same deal, but would have to wait for the car
Mile High offered lower for a color we didn't want
Pike's Peak is too far away.

thanks for all the info in this forum, helped me immensely

Which sales person you buy from? I got mine from Bruce Bettke.

Lrpba300

Congrats on another Colo. RDX owner! Mine did ok today in all this snow. It could use better tires though!!

JayCT

Animagix - Tell them exactly what you want for your trade and tell them it is no deal without it. I found that they will do a lot better on a trade when you threaten to walk away. As long as you are reasonable in what you expect to get, they will deal. Good luck. Jay

Finally - after years of waiting, yes years, going back to the Detroit Auto Show, I made the purchase tonight. Thanks to all of you fellow owners for putting me over the edge. It's a load of money - but damn, nothing else is as good.

Oh - the details.... $100 over invoice with a few freebies thrown in and great value on my trade in. This was in Houston and I had been working with all 4 dealers, PM for details.

Bummer is that it was raining tonight so I already need to get it washed.

rdxsteverino

Welcome aboard ozwaldo! Sounds like you got a great deal. Tech or base model? What freebies did they throw in?

I know how you feel about the rain. No worries though - they wash up great.

rdxsteverino

ozwaldo- Just saw your entry in the RDX owners sign in page - so you got a tech. The CBP/Black looks nice. Still interested hearing your freebies.

ozwaldo

Thanks for the welcome RDXsteverino - it's a tech in Carbon Gray.

It just happened to include the wheel locks and splash guards. Not a lot, but at the price I got, a nice add on.

2Sxy4YoMama

Ozwaldo...I am in Houston too. Can you tell me what dealership you went to because I am working on a couple of offers right now too? The best deal I got right now is $34,300 for the Tech at Sterling McCall, but Gillman says they will beat it if I come in.

F.Rizzo

Finally - the CarsDirect.com price dropped today for a tech from MSRP to $36,555. It aint much but it's a great overall indication that the car is getting soft.

JayCT

Great news Ozwaldo and good luck with it. Mine is also carbon gray. Great color but I noticed that the last couple of cars bought in my office were gray. Too bad I did not realize this until after I bought mine. I would have then considered going bronze. Oh well, still love the color. Enjoy your new RDX (even if it is raining). Have a great holiday everyone. Jay

sternmd

quote for 33,300 (before taxes and tags) for RDX with Tech package in Norcal today. They want to move these suckers - lots just piling up on lots. That's $322 of dealer profit over true invoice (true invoice = invoice + destination - holdback)

king781

anyone know of a good dealer in new jersey that gives good prices

Animagix

try springfield and open road in wayne, nj. received decent quotes from both.

sternmd

Took that price to another dealer and got them to $33,220 before taxes and tags for a 2007 with Tech package - deal was done today. Just drove it home. Great car. I'm happy with my price.

c_hunter

Awesome deal -- congratulations!

WallaceS

Nice work.
Perhaps a hidden gem of deal going on here in Dec. for an RDX.
Having giving one a test drive I must say 33K w/Tech is very tempting.

damnu

which dealer was this?

sternmd

I PM'd you

buckeye#1

Anyone received any good quotes from any
dealer in NC?

TsxVengeance

rsw4723

JoeinILL

Hi guys. Anyone in the Chicago area get an RDX Tech in the last few weeks? What dealers did you buy from? How do you like the car? What don't you like?

tjs157

What is the going price for RDX with TECH in the Pittsburgh, PA area?? What dealer did you buy from?

pkjr

pittpanther

I believe this is with Destination.
