I think you are paying less for the A-spec than I did for the Tech! Which dealer may I ask? I hope it's not the one I used.

I got my front bumper drilled when the plates came in because I didn't want to risk getting pulled over.

Hello all, new to the forum here as this is my first post. I decided on getting my first Acura and of course the RDX model since I'm posting this thread.

Haven't purchased it yet and wanted to also share my experience with everyone to help them with their buying experience.

I'm located in SoCal (California) and I'm looking to buy a FWD Advance trim.

The MSRP on that model as everyone knows is $45,400 and with the 995 delivery charge brings the MSRP to 46,395.
Went to a local dealer and test drove the car and without getting into any negotiations they printed me a OTD total price including 9.5% sales tax and their discount of $2900.

This would put me at $48,288 with the 1K discount for owning a Honda puts me at $47,288.
I've read people getting 4-5K off MSRP. My question is for the people that have gotten 4-5K off. What number should I go in there to start the negotiation with and I'm not afraid to walk out on the deal either.

anoop

Yes it does make me feel better! Thanks so much for sharing. I had to haggle like crazy just to get $1000 off MSRP. My previous car was a BMW, so no loyalty available for me.

Coolguy

I haven't seen much discount in California but the best time of year is close, if you can wait. Now you have 3000K discount confirmation, use it and start negotiating with other dealers.

Coolguy

Anoop, not to rub but poeple are getting huge discounts on east coast/TX side

JustMe...

Where are you getting a $3,000,000 discount? I'll take one and retire!

Pohanka Acura in Virginia is doing much more than $3000..just look back a few posts on here and u will see. Can buy it and get it shipped and still save $$$$$$

Does loyalty discount require the title be in my name? Or just same address?

contdes

I need to rephrase my question but don't know how to edit. Another member of my household owns a 2016 Lexus, which is registered to him at our address. Does this qualify me for the conquest discount? The Lexus is not in my name, nor registered to me, nor part of my insurance. New Acura will be titled/registered to me at a new/different address.

If I will qualify for this $1k discount, what do I need to produce? Registration doc? Owner of Lexus will likely not be with me at pickup of vehicle. Could be, if necessary.

NOW I see an edit button (and have another question): For conquest discount, does it have to be SUV model Lexus? This one is a sedan. I think/fear it has to be SUV.

Anyone in MD have recent numbers they could share? I've been to my two local dealers - one is a Priority 1 dealer and they basically say pound sand. The other is a privately owned dealership who is a bit more willing to haggle but still not to the level some are posting here. For example, today's offer for a 19 RDX FWD ASPEC was:

$44,499 MSRP (including $995 destination charge)
$2,499 Discount
$42,000 selling price

I countered with $41,000 and they said no. I ended up walking out of the dealership and will play the waiting game. As others in this thread have mentioned, end of November and December are historically good months to get deals. Guess I will have to wait and see.

If your in Maryland....go with Pohanka Acura...they gave me the best offer on an Advance Pkg (im going with another vehicle now, so didnt take it) Go back a few thereads and u will se Pohanla has offered others great deal as well. Most dealers would prob match as well.

I was quoted 47k plus tax/title for an Advance SHAWD (no options) from Duval Acura (Jacksonville, FL). This is with the reference from a poster on here also. I'm disappointed it's a bit high compared to all the other great prices here and I'm ready to buy.

I did have a 2009 Honda minivan and expected to see the 1000 off somewhere in getting to OTD and kept asking what proof they needed (sent current insurance card showing) but they never mentioned it. Perhaps it flowed into things in the selling price behind the scenes, idk.

RussianDude,

That guy that was telling you and I that the $4K would not happen isnt around. I knew he wouldnt surface to eat his words. Seems like any day is a good time to buy the car now.

russianDude

Yep, Nov/Dec has always been the best time to buy any Acura for the new coming year. I've been following Acura pricing for long time since 2001 when I had my first Acura CL. All these people getting excited in June when new model comes out will refuse to believe that Nov/Dec 10% OFF is coming (At least in NJ, people in CA seem to get screwed). It's been happening every year, and history repeats itself each time. It's just Acura, luxury version of Honda.
I was gonna buy new RDX this year, but I am a bit cautious with all the freezing navigation systems issues. I am sure software update is coming soon. My 2008 RDX with 176K just keeps going and going and needs no money every month, if something expensive breaks such that it will cost more to fix than the car value, I will get 2019 RDX, otherwise I will see if I can get another year out of it.

Boltface

You would think they would get hungry enough at some point that they would lower the price but my local dealership which sells a good number of vehicles never gets that hungry it seems. Pohanka says they are the #1 Acura dealer in the country. The dealerships that are competing for that title are the ones you are looking for. One dealer told me 5K off might be possible in the Spring before the new models came out.

Bought a 2019 pearl white/parchment RDX Tech package from Radley Acura in Falls Church, VA this weekend. Price = $40,800.00 out the door, including all VA taxes, fees, etc. (I negotiated based on OTD pricing, as opposed to prices based on MSRP and/or invoice, which seemed subject to too much uncertainty regarding fees etc.). That price reflects a $1000 loyalty discount.

As an aside, I'd like to give a shout out to Radley, who was very much interested in taking business away from Pohanka. The best offer I received from Pohanka was 41,500 OTD on the same car. Pohanka didn't really seem interested in winning my business, whereas Radley certainly was (they even asked what it would take to get me to come over to Radley before going to Pohanka). I named my OTD price, Radley agreed, and they stuck to their word when I showed up to make the purchase. Nader and Aaron were great to work with, and they made the whole process smooth as silk.

A few general observations for those still on the market: I made my purchase mid-month simply because my schedule allowed me some free time at the moment. If I had waited until the last 2 or 3 days of the month, I expect I probably could have knocked a little bit more off of the OTD price. In the DMV area, there seems to be relatively fierce competition among dealers to win customers' business right now. If you approach the buying situation as someone who's fairly nonchalant about buying a new RDX now, I think you should definitely get a good deal. Also, be up front with the various dealers you're speaking to -- I point blank told Radley what Pohanka had offered, which gave them a realistic idea of whether they'd be able to beat Pohanka's offer. In this case, it turned out Radley was willing to do so. I also made it very clear to all dealers that I was going to lock in their best OTD price offer before stepping foot in their showroom -- my sole factor in determining which dealer to go to was getting the lowest OTD price possible (I was very flexible on interior/exterior colors, so I wasn't concerned about whether a dealer had a huge inventory of vehicles to choose from).

Quick edit -- this was a 2019 pearl white/parchment RDX Tech package - AWD. Hope this is helpful.

Hi everyone,

Just went to Paragon Acura in NYC for test drive and negotiation for RDX tech model. The salesperson was pushy and dishonest. :-(

At the beginning, no discount and Honda owner loyalty discount ($1000) were offered until I mentioned the loyalty discount and showed the salesperson what people's deal on Acurazine.

I disagree to the offer below becoz of the trade in (He needs my trade in to get me $39,000 MSRP)

RDX Tech model MSRP $39,000 plus tax and fee, come up to about 42k OTD and $1000 loyalty which is applied to the downpayment.

The salesperson insists that I need to trade in my 2013 accord sport (48k mileages) for the deal. He offered 7850 for my trade in, I disagreed and asked for $10,000 for my trade in. KBB shows 10k-11k trade in.

he disagreed and I walked away.

Here is my question, why the $1,000 loyalty discount is after tax and apply to the downpayment but not to MSRP?

Monster_HK

is your RDX FWD or AWD? 41500 OTD is excellent price if AWD.

Coolguy

I am not sure about trade-in option. But regardless, the $1000 loyalty discount should before tax. Why would you pay tax on 1000 discount ????

Monster_HK

That's what I questioned the salesperson, he has no answer and says it can be only applied to downpayment. I don't understand why it isn't applied to MSRP so I can save more sale tax (8.875% in NYC). Maybe $88.75 isn't a big deal, but I'm a CPA and over sensitive to the tax I need to pay lol.

JustMe...

Because, that's how the discount is written. It can only be applied to the down payment. I was corrected it an earlier post.

Here's the fine print: The 2019 RDX Loyalty Offer provides $1,000 towards Cap Cost Reduction or Down Payment Assistance...

Monster_HK

okay Thanks!. I didn't read that detail. the sale tax on the $1,000 loyalty isn't avoidable.
