Thanks, that's helpful - yeah mine was like 00012x - I knew we were getting into the thousands, which is why i was confused my number was so low. Glad to hear there is another car coming in fresh that is so low! I wonder why it is - something wrong that needed to get fixed so it was held up?

 

I read somewhere that Acura's production capacity for the 2013 RDX is 185 per day but that sounds high given the VIN numbers that are showing up. They may be taking it slow at first to make sure everything is right.

I would not worry about a very low VIN number - you could make the case that the earliest cars are inspected more rigorously than those produced after the line is vetted.

 

Mine is # 832

 

All this talk about ordering is getting to me. Been to 3 dealers where I've expressed real interest on buying, but made clear I wouldn't be willing to pay MSRP. All 3 have let me walk without even trying to get me to commit. One said what about $400-$500 off to which I was non-commital. Is there something wrong in my approach. I know this model is new, but you'd think at least some follow-up would be in order. I haven't heard a peep!

 

Most dealers in my area are selling them at pretty much MSRP as fast as they are receiving them. Why would they sell them $1k below if they don't have to. I would have taken that $500 off and ask for something like a cargo cover and called it a day. You probably won't get anything better for a couple of months until the dealers actually have a lot RDX's sitting on the lots.

I got lucky on mine. I was willing to pay MSRP instead of waiting months to get a little bit of a discount. However, they entered it into inventory with the 2012 price and once they found the error out (after everything was agreed) they decided to honor it to their credit. So I basically got it $1500 under MSRP. They would have probably caught the mistake earlier but I bought their only AWD Tech an hour after it was off the truck.

 

Dealers have all the leverage. They're selling every one they get in - most at something close to MSRP. Giving you a discount is like throwing away money. Unless you get lucky with somebody desperately trying to make quota, you're probably going to have to either wait or pay more than you want to.

BTW, truecar.com is currently showing a target price of just $255 below MSRP on an AWD Tech in my area (midwest). The target price for a FWD base model is actual above sticker.

 

See my experience a couple posts back - I emailed a bunch of dealers to make it clear that I was shopping around. I got it down 1900 without a lot of hassle.

 

Update!! My RDX was delivered to my dealer around 3:15 this afternoon. It should be ready to drive home tomorrow afternoon.

Jim

 

Congrats Jim...I got confirmation today that my RDX is within 24h of delivery. It has a delivery date of Wednesday but my dealer told me to maybe shoot for Thursday just to be safe. If it arrives tomorrow, I am good but if its Thursday, I'll have to wait till next Tuesday to pick up because of my work. I live over 4h from the dealership so that makes things complicated for me.

LAX2MIA....I am not sure why dealers are being non flexible to offer discounts. As some have said, 500$ is better than nothing. I have a good rapport with my dealer so I was able to get a 1k off MSRP, and several accessories and a great price for my trade in (rav4) and 0.25%.

Hopefully, you will be able to get someone to budge...Its a great vehicle and I think Acura have a hit on their hand...we'll see in future sales report.

 

Picked up my wife's non-tech AWD on 4/30, exactly a month after we ordered. Didn't get any real break off MSRP but did negotiate at order for all-season mats, rear floor tray, door edge guards, mud guards and wheel locks. Our dealer also provides lifetime oil change as standard to original owner. We also got a free Acura umbrella and baseball cap when we picked it up (whoo hoo).

 

lifetime oil change

NICE

 

WOW! Weather, you will be getting your RDX so soon!? You must be anxious to get it!!! I know I would be, if I were you!

BTW, did you see the April sales for the RDX in the US? Well, the monthly US sales shot up this past month, even though it probably was not available in most dealership yet:

Acura has got a hit on their hands! :-)

 

Yep...In fact, its already at the dealership! I am picking it up next Wednesday because I can't make it down to the dealer until then (work commitment and the distance is over 4h on way). I am super excited to have the TL and the RDX to ride around in Expect pics next week for sure

I agree, Acura has a good vehicle on their hands and I think this will be good for the brand and the dealers.

 

bought the Black/Ebony AWD + Tech for $38k + Tax/License, Doc fee $230, $15k for trade in (2010 Kizashi SLS AWD) and $900 for acessories with installation included (cargo mat, wheel locks, mud guards, trailer hitch+wiring harness and 2" ball). Will pick it up tomorrow when installations are done and the car is detailed out.

Financed with 3.45% for 72 mo, but in all honesty will probably pay it off in a year, i just like to have that cushion though.

I'm waiting for weather tech to come out with Digifit all weather mats for the RDX.

Will probably install the 3M film next week (mirrors, hood+fenders,rear door sills, rear bumper)

 

That is quite impressive if I can say so myself!

Congrats on your purchase....You got a sweet deal also

 

I checked with Weathertech last week and they said it would be 3-4 months. I had them in my last vehicle and really liked them.

 

my wife would be happy to hear about the upgraded size

 

i love them too, i gave in to have the OEM acura cargo tray, but there was no way I could accept their mats...no comparison..now the wait start..lol

 

...as most women in your neighborhood *lmao*

 

Finally located an AWD w/tech in Silver Moon after trying for almost a month. Negotiated $800 off MSRP with free wheel locks and a cargo cover.

 

good job, silvermoon is a hard one to locate in awd+tech, if I had a chance to locate one, i might have bought one.

not complaining about the black though, so classy

 

Congratulations on the Silver Moon AWD Tech! I love mine. I guess I was lucky, I ordered on April 7th and took delivery on May 2nd. My dealer said they were able to change colors on a car in the pipeline.

Jim

 

I have one coming in a few days Amber Brownstone with Tech for $37500 which I leased for 39 months with a money factor of .00190 and a 57% residual. I am a two time returning customer and they threw some other incentives and discounted the complete wood package. I should recieve it in about 7 days from Ohio to Dallas.

 

I was able to check the inventory of a dealership relatively far from home this past Sunday. Made an inquiry online and purchased the car this Monday.

 

How far away? I bought my first Acura at a dealer that was a two hour drive away.

Jim

 

I bought my current TL in Houston while visiting my parents there and I live in Dallas. That's about a 4 hour drive for me. Of course I flew there (the dealership "discounted" the car price by the cost of the plane ticket.). I don't mind driving 4-6 hours to purchase a car if the drive and the deal are worth it.

 

I was at the dealer last night and got an offer of $1,130 off MSRP for Tech AWD. Total Selling price: $39,185.00. Plus they are giving me what I want for my trade.

I am going to try and get more off, but if I can’t are dealers willing to give up accessories for free? Would love the All-Season Floor Mats and / or Sports Running Boards.

What are your thoughts on this deal and the accessories? Let me know. Thanks.

 

I was able to score a 2013 RDS AWD with Technology package 2 days ago for $38,000. The dealer threw in a protection package which included all season mats, cargo mat, and wheel locks.

 

What dealer did you go to? Did you have a trade in? Get a good price on the trade in?

 

I went to Park Ave Acura in Maywood, NJ. No trade in.

 

Are people quoting prices with destination fees included? Those ~$900 can make a difference when people try and line up where the market is.

 

It was an hour drive. But I have almost 10 dealers within an hours drive.

 

My selling price ($39,185 - AWD w/ Tech) included destination fees

 

nice to see some discount happening already.

 

Looks like you did very good then. Did that include destination fee and dealer documentation?

 

Hello all,
New member here, adding that my dealer gave me a $1200 off MSRP due to returning customer. Other dealer would not budge off MSRP.
BTW, placed my order for Amber Brownstone, AWD Tech on May 1st. No other information given on build date other than the dealer stating ~ 6 weeks.

 

Yes, destination charge included!

 

Congrats on a Gr8 Deal !

 

The other thing that would be great is if you guys give your location and/or the dealership if possible. That way people can know where they may be able to get the deal.

Thanks for the info - nice to see the discounts getting a bit bigger for some at least.

 

I have a similar situation. I ordered a BRII base the second week of April and was told to expect delivery towards the end of May. At the time they told me that "those vehicles" had not started production (meaning either base models and/or BRII). I have been talking to the dealer off and on and they told me last week it was being built. They called today with the VIN number and it is 00075X. Since others with cars have posted much higher VIN numbers, I am wondering if they blocked off VINs by batch (tech, AWD, color, etc) with one of the initial batches being BRII that ended up slipping its production schedule.
