A good friend bought through Costco and had a great experience (they did not by an Acura). In fact, they had a great rebate by buying through Costco at the time). I live in MD and just bought a 2022 Advance. The dealer charged MSRP and the only add-on was wheel locks for $114. They have 2 aspec advance on their site but they could be on hold for someone…the cost is $51,800. Also, there are no pictures so my guess is they have not arrived yet. When I was considering a 2021 Advance, I contacted a dealer outside Philly and they were charging $2500 over MSRP…crazy. If you want the dealer info, send me a private message.

 

Is that for all trims?

 

Would be curious to know this, too, as I have dealt with many in our area.

 

ESHBG - I sent you a PM.

 

Reserved a Phantom Violet Advanced for GF. Had bought my 2021 RDX Advanced (used) from them less than year ago. They were not into negotiating but their asking price was fair (certified, 1100 miles, $40,500). Willing to do just MSRP and if there trade in valuation (2018 RDX Advanced) is decent will just do trade in there.

 

It was Piazza Acura of Ardmore. I wont be going back. I am gonna try Princeton Acura and maybe Stamford if I can get a good deal.

 

Hey Dainec. I dont have the option to private message because I just joined the forum but I would love to now which dealer. If they have what I want I will drive to MD right now.

 

Yes, I think so.

 

For the ones that are looking for MSRP for '22 RDX on the east coast:
Acura Of Ellicott City & Acura of Ocean & Acura of Huntington & Acura of Limerick were doing MSRP a month ago.
I got my 2022 RDX at Paragon Acura, and the sales manager was super up front and easy to talk to when you CAN get a hold of him, but the sales consultant was a piece of shit. The questions he kept asking was super agitating, and if it wasn't for the quick agreement to the MSRP deal and being a local dealer, I would've walked out and did business eslewhere.
The day I was signing papers to take the car off the lot, he had me wait in the backroom for nearly 45 minutes so he can take a new customer. Fucking asshole.

 

I bought a '22 A-Spec at MSRP last week at Leith Acura of Raleigh (NC). Got a solid deal on my trade-in, too. FWIW.

 

Norris Acura in Ellicott City. If the don’t have what you want, ask what is coming in and if you like it, put $1000 down to hold it for you. They will refund the money if you change your mind.

 

Thanks Dainec! I just left Ellicot City and paid MSRP plus wheel locks for $114. It involved no haggling at all and we love the car

 

Wow, that was fast! Who did you work with there? What color did you get?

 

We worked with Quon. I think he’s fairly new there but he was good. Once I brought up other people didn’t pay the Market Adjustment he dropped it.

2022 RDX A-Spec Advance. Black with red interior

 

For A-Spec owners, is keeping the suede on the seats clean an issue? Congrats on the new ride btw!

 

The suede isnot an issue. Easy to clean and my interior is Orchid.

 

congrats on your new car…glad it worked out. Out of curiosity, what kind of market ad on were they trying to sell you?

 

We been to 3 dealers. 2 charged 3k. Quon started at 2k but after I told him other people dont pay it at this dealer he quickly dropped it. He also gave more more my trade in than expected.

 

The market adjustments are pure greed. Paying MSRP is bad enough.

 

Are any dealers in NJ/NY area selling for MSRP? Looking to buy an A-SPEC asap.

 

I'm in Connecticut looking to sell my 2020 RDX A-Spec AWD Black/red interior soon if you're interest PM me. Only 11k mileage so far, I barely drive.

 

got my aspec/advance orchid week and 1/2 ago:
deal msrp 53645
paint protect 299
doc/permit 291
utah fee 72
total 54307
trade in - 42500 2020 advance
net 11807
didnt want the paint but was already on the car they offered 1K more on trade than ca dealers or carvanna.
the 42500 was what i paid for the car 2 yrs ago. all in all a good dealer to work with , at least they didnt ask
1500-2000 over sticker.doc fees were in line with utah much better than nevada dealers.

 

I just paid $44k for a black 2020 ASpec with 11.5k miles on it. Mediocre price. I wish I didn't settle and just got a 2022 Aspec Advance in blue. I'm asking around dealers to see if I can get into one relatively unscathed. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

 

Piazza Acura in PA wanted $5k above MSRP for a 2022 Aspec Advance blue, get this, for their demo floor model with mileage on it. Wouldn't do business with a group like that.

 

Picked up my 2022 RDX Advance today. I paid the current MSRP and since I ordered it before the $800 increase they took off $500. I got a decent trade-in so I was happy. I had a very nice drive home from the dealer.

 

See this ‘small print’ at a dealership ad that lists the price as MSRP on the ad, with this as an asterisk: “Prices exclude tax, tags, freight, $175 processing charge (not required by law), and sales commission charge of 2% (not required by law).”

No doubt they will also load up the car with ADP (additional dealer profit) items.

I plan on waiting until all this settles down. It might take until the next model year.

 

Hi

I have a 2021 RDX Tech Package which I got for a really good deal, leasing. Thinking of upgrading to the highest end 2022 model but only if it really makes sense.

Would be a Lease for 10K miles for 36 months. What do you guys think about this offer?
Obviously I plan to negotiate to 0 down but that will probably bring the monthly up to $855…which is Audi territory at this point?

What do you guys think I should shoot for?




Thanks!!!!

 

$200 for nitrogen filled tires? Also, you need to ask them the terms of the lease. What is the money factor and residual? When I bought my 2022 the lease factor was horrible, over 4% so I financed it instead at 2%. Leasing doesn't seem like a good idea right now. That's a big payment for a lease especially with $4,633 down.

 

I have a hard time believing that your '21 is only worth $35k. That, plus all the garbage profit addons, makes this seem like a bad deal to me. What is the actual MSRP on the '22, not including dealer addons, or market adjustments?

 

Yeah that's terrible trade in. Carvana offered almost $38k on my 2020 Aspec with 12k miles. Driveway offered up to $44.6k, but they give a range I'm sure they put the high end to lure you in.

 

Yeah you guys are totally right, I will of course get rid of that dealer crap before I decide anything. Nitrogen filled tires lol.
Carvana gave me 39K on my RDX, but Acura/Honda now doesn't allow to sell the lease car directly to a third party unless I buy the car first, which I can but just a bit of a hassle.

Looks like market MSRP for an RDX Aspec Advance is ~53,645

You guys think buying is a better deal now? So far the lowest APR I have from Acura is 2.9% but I haven't looked around much. Chase gave me some shit 3.14%.

 

Leasing is terrible right now IMO. The money factor is key. Ask them what money factor they are using and then multiply it by 2400. Looks like the current MF is .00150. So 3.6%. Some dealers increase that MF too. Doesn't make sense to lease at that rate.

Also in some states you'll have to pay sales tax when you buyout your lease. If you sell directly to the dealer you won't. Any other dealers you can work with?

 

That deal is a ripoff on so many fronts; value of trade-in, add-ons, etc. Don't do it.

 

Wow, you're still being very screwed.

My dealer offered me $37k to trade in my 2019 Acura RDX Advance with 34k miles and that's without any negotiating...Getting $38k for a brand new 2021 Acura RDX with only 4200 miles is atrocious. Also, I was able to get $1k off MSRP on my Mach E GT as well as 1.4% Financing. Your deal is pretty bad even if the dealer removed the ADM's.

 

You can get wheel locks for $25-$30 on Amazon.

But, IMO, they are more trouble than they are worth.

 

I agree with everyone else's input on this deal...just bad in every way. I was given 38k for my 2019 Advance with 45k miles on it. Financing also depends on your credit, I was able to get 2.4% with excellent credit using capital one auto loans.
