Plan to buy Acura RDX 2015, need some advice

It is the time to got a new suv. I am in WA and interested in 2015 RDX AWD. Got a quota from local dealers and $34575 for AWD version. I know some shared prices in autopriceshare are better than mine. However, I feel OK as this price is already lower than invoice. The dealer also recommend me to purchase a 4 year prepaid maintenance package($2000). I haven't own a Acura before and don't know the maintenance cost for RDX. Should I select this prepaid maintenance packages? any suggestions?

for the first 105k miles, the RDX will only need oil, oil filters, brake pads, an air filter and fuel.


seems like they're trying to pull a fast one on you.

Put on brakes....NOW !!!
Those guys are lickin' their chops! I don't think that price will hold unless they are down to one unit that you want. IF you can wait until next month, I gar-ron-tee the price will drop considerably(as '16s hit the showroom AND the dealership approaches end-of-quarter number crunching).

Also, the pre-paid maintenance 'should' come with at least a 20% discount over normal...why pay in advance for less? I'd have to see the terms of the 'plan' to see if it could POSSIBLY be worth more than $800... IF THAT !!!

Step AWAY from the showroom...step AWAY!!!

I bought 4 year pre paid maintenance from Acura for about $1000 and even I feel that I may have paid too much . Anyway it's not a good time to buy as the new model is shortly arriving. Is the model in question a tech or base version?

Pretty sure that is a crawfish

It does seem that the prepaid main cost is high
