Thumbs up Thinking about getting a 2019 RDX

I hope I'm in the right place to say "hello" and inform that wife and I reside in Dripping Springs, TX -- 20 miles west of Austin, TX.
Since introduction of the 2019 RDX, I've researched the vehicle via online sources, but have yet to visit a dealer and actually see the interior, much less drive the latest RDX.

Considering that I would appreciate the best-possible audio system and features on the Advance AWD model, I am likely targeting the most expensive, fully equipped model.
Given the approaching release of 2020 models, I may wait to see whether the additional (likely non-discount) cost of the next production is worth potential improvements.

One question: Has anyone here experienced the presumed benefits of purchasing an RDX through Costco's auto-buying program?

Finally, I would very much hope to hear from anyone who might care to share their advice, suggestions, comments, etc. to steer me in the direction for making a responsible and most-satisfying final decision.

THANK YOU for this maintaining this website and, in advance, for future communications and information received.

Welcome to the forums.

Since this is a topic/technical issue which will require replies and discussion, this thread has been moved from the New Member Introductions forum to the model specific forum.

here is a thread on prices paid: https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g...19-rdx-970333/ I think 1 gets a fair price going that route, but u can usually do a bit better......but check that link for those around you. Costco does sell a lot of cars, so many must like it....I think many just dont want to haggle....so costco is a good route to go for those types

Thanks much for these thoughts and helpful information! BTW, I am currently still driving my Subaru Forester bought new in 2006.

How do you like your new Volvo?

I used the Costco buyer's program. They don't give you the best possible price, but you get a fair price and don't have to bother haggling at all.

I walked in, showed the Costco dealer price from a different dealer, asked if they could match it, and they did. IIRC, it was $3400 off MSRP.
