2021 RDX Tech - Prices Paid and Offers Accepted

Planning to buy 2021 RDX with Technology package. Considering global microchip shortage, I would like to know the best offers accepted so far so that it would be helpful negotiating with dealers.

So is that protection package! It's probably just all season mats and wheel locks and cargo mat which you can get much cheaper from online stores.

I posted this in another thread, but just in case you didn't see it there

(Purchased 6-22-21)

New to forum, thought I would share my deal as I used the info I found here to negotiate my deal. Thanks!

2021 SH-AWD with Tech package. Fathom Blue Pearl with Greystone interior

MSRP: $44,325.00
Options:$1,495 (wheel locks, rear cargo all weather mat, Auto Butler paint sealant, mud flaps)
Total asking price: $45,820.00

Final negotiated price:

$39,905.00 (Including options listed above. About 12.9% off $45,820 or 9.9% off the MSRP of $44,325)
Dealer fees$999.00 (would not budge)
Taxes: $1,634.73
License, transfer fees, etc: $546.00 (came down a little from their initial offer)
Trade allowance: $15,200.00

OTD: $27,884.73 ($43,084.73 W/O trade)

Did not qualify for any discounts except a $500 Acura finance discount which is included.

As someone else note above, certain vehicles are difficult to come by due to the chip shortage. My wife was set on a Blue Pearl with Grey interior and I wanted the AWD. This is only the 2nd one of these I have seen in Florida for about 4-5 months and I had to drive about 75 miles to get it.

They treated me O.K. on the trade. That $15,200 saved me $987 in taxes. That's the same as me netting $16,187 if I sold it myself and I didn't have to bother with it. Autotrader shows vehicles comparable to my trade in advertised *at dealers* for $16K - $$19K (What they actually sell for who knows, but the dealer does have to make a profit to stay open)

One note about the Acura financing.......I have read on this forum that you can pay it off any time, that isn't true. There is a minimum finance amount of $15K and you have to keep the loan for 6 months or be assessed a $75 fee for paying it off early, that is written in the Acura contract (Not really a big deal, you wind up with a $425 discount instead of $500)

The finance guy I dealt with was cool. He knew I had intended to just pay cash for the balance but financed $15K for the discount. He told me to multiply my payments by 6, deduct this from the $15K, and send that amount as my 1st payment. That way interest on the remaining 5 payments will be based only on the outstanding balance (In my case about $1,400 - $1,500 which would be minimal interest)

Now is not a great time to buy a car.

Supply, low, demand high.

Make the best deal you can, and forget about it. Don’t torture yourself. You could be driving a Nissan Versa.

^^I got a '15 accord with 26K miles. Carmax offered me 19K for it the other day. So it's a bit of a wash really. High trade but also higher new vehicle price. We'll see what offers July brings. The financing is a bit of a cluster. They give you the $1000 (or is it $1500?) rebate **OR** 1.9% apr. If the right color rdx comes along at the right price I may still pull the trigger.

Just work the best deal that fits your budget and be happy with your purchase. The supply and demand gives the dealer the edge to make it on the front end or the back end. Otherwise there will be no dealer.
