New Owner --I pulled the trigger yesterday!!

Thanks to all on this forum for answering any of my questions and providing much valued information and feedback on this unique crossover, as I went through my research on the ZDX.
Yesterday I picked up my '11 Grigio/Taupe Advanced. I'm still getting used to it's size, and overall handling. Lots to learn on all the technology, especially the nav, ELS stereo, etc. Drove the wife and daughter out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants and we were in awe (first time we were all in the car together). What a machine this ZDX is! I must say, as of this morning, my long commute to work has become a pleasure...

Congrats and nice color/interior combo. The ZDX only gets better the longer you drive it.

Congrats on the Super Cool new ride!!

If you don't mind me asking (just let me know ;-),
How much OTR + did you get the 0.9% APR?

Been wondering what others got for theirs.

I got mine OTR for $44k ('10 CPO Advance White-Sumatra-11k miles-Spoiler-LED Board-Splash Guard)

Cheers and ENJOY!
(Like me... ;-)

Thanks, everyone! On yesterday's drive home from work, I was driving in the middle lane at about ~60 mph, nice and easy (still in the break-in period), and tried to switch lanes to go around a car in front of me who was cruising at 50. I couldn't switch lanes because there were cars on each side of me, both cars who were checking out my ZDX. After a mile or so, I had to slow waaaaayy down to let everyone pass me up before I was able to switch lanes and beat feet.

Thanks! I used a CR report for leverage. Visited over 3 dealers. With that said, I was able to get to just over $2K below invoice (car already had wheel locks, splash guards and bodyside molding). My trade in helped reduce taxes, of course. Yes, I got the 0.9% APR.

I couldn't find ANY '10 Advanced in my exterior color ANYWHERE , so I was limited to '11s.
Anyhow, I'm happy that I'm behind the wheel of a ZDX now.

Congrats on your new ride. I too am looking into getting a ZDX, but my local dealers are playing hardball and don't even want to offer invoice, little alone below that. Good luck with your new ride, be sure to post pics.

I didn't know that I could be SO happy driving this car everyday!

Congrats again,
and Happy July 4th, Y'all!

I've taken a one way plane flight more than once to get the car I wanted at the price I wanted, etc.

The deals are out there on the ZDX's, you just have to go and find them and game them from start to finish.

I have started to look out of state, not sure how far I will look, but I have ventured into Oregon now and will start to look at Idaho and California next. I know the deals are out there and I am in no rush, so eventually I will get what I want.

What are you looking for? Int/Ext color? Tech or Adv? CPO or Brand-spankin-new?

Well today I will attempt to finally get one out for a test drive, then I will know how serious I am about the car. As for the car, it would bea new ZDX tech, grigio/umber would most likely be my first choice.

How aboot you start a "Plastikman needs a ZDX" thread and we'll find you one.

I recall how I felt when I test drove the ZDX for the 1st time.
