Anyone have these mats in their RDX? Those that came in mine are truly crap. I wonder are they plush or modified crap.

For that price I'd go with Lloyds mats. I've had them in 3 vehicles now and they're better than any OEM I've seen.

I emailed Alfredo at Center Acura in LA and after 10 emails he finally said he would only discount the Tech 2WD by $500. I was clear from the start that i was looking for $1500 (no incentives) so he was pulling my chain the whole time. Has anyone found a dealer in Southern or Northern California discounting the Tech by $1500 (no incentives)?

Hou-RL

Those prices are higher when you add features. Guess they are not so cheap afterall.

MI-RDX

Agreed. But I never said they were cheap - just that if I'm spending that much money I'll spend a bit more and get something noticeably better.

TxLADY,

Please let me know how they look and feel when they arrive.I am afraid they may be too slippery for me. I had that issue with others I purchased last time.

Congrats on the purchase. I have yet to see that in person but wasn't sure how it would look. I am hearing others say it looks really good.

For those interested in actual OTD price, here in the Hudson Valley, N.Y. for an A-spec. See sales contract.

The OEM mats (Acura accessories) are not slippery at all. I had some WeatherTech's in my truck that I hated because they were slippery.. was hard to plant my feet to get in and out.

Hou-RL

Thanks for sharing that information. I need real world feedback before committing on this one.

You can sit in mine and see it for yourself I work at I-10 and hiway 6

They fit right in where the carpets go, no special tools needed.. the same clips that hold the carpets hold the mats.

There is a user who has posted in this forum that stated they received $3700 of the 2019 AWD Tech version in Illinois area. I dont recall seeing this posted in the prices 3rd Generation forum but just wanted to share if true. Some one in Illinois may be able to obtain this pricing in that area. The poster didn't mention the dealership but that would be a really good deal at this time.

MI-RDX

I'd take that with a very large grain of salt. That would be $1,200 UNDER invoice (if it's an Advance) just 6 weeks after hitting the market. Not likely IMO. When I was internet shopping one of the dealers I spoke to was in Illinois and said just about every RDX above base was leaving the dealership about as fast as they were coming in.

LOL...someone doesn't know what they are talking about. I agree...no way "under Invoice" that much or at all. Too early...too hot...popular and breaking records. Why would any dealer trying to make money sell one for that cheap?
NO...I'll eat one of my ball caps IF that were true. But, I think my ball caps can relax in the closet!! LOL!!

Hou-RL

It is a Tech model he states. I really didnt believe it but I wont call him out as he posted that statement elsewhere.

MI-RDX

Even more unbelievable - that would make it about $1,550 under invoice. Ain't happening...

Colorado Guy AF Ret.

You know...I've been reading lots of "stuff" about discounts...and "what I got off MSRP, etc"......but, through age and doing this a long time....not ego at all, I've learned this issue when negotiating. May be relevant to some of
you...if not...OK. But, I do know this...it HAS worked for me...'cause it just makes sense! LOL!

In the past I've made deals....and there was Manufacturers money involved. Meaning...let's say...$1K Cash Back....this is the manufacturers money! NOT the dealers money.
So, I've sat down to make a deal...made my offer...knowing about the Cash Back $$ being offered....and get "push back" saying..."look at the good deal you are getting off MSRP!!

I'd say....well, $1K of that is NOT YOR MONEY! It's coming from the manufacturer. I want to make a deal with...YOU...off the MSRP, and based on the Invoice you paid for the car. The extra $1K is more for me to take off our
negotiated deal. Doesn't come out of YOUR pockets.

So, keep them separate. Make a deal based on the MSRP....with the Invoice in mind....and then let any "Acura Money" come to play AFTER you make a deal. You are playing with 2 different pots of money. The dealers investment,
and the deep pockets of Acura..giving the buyer moneys as incentives, etc. Makes a difference. Many dealers will push you in to "seeing how great a deal I am giving you!" NO...you are not giving me that great a deal...but, when
adding Acura money it is much better....but, YOU are not moving that much. I'm not negotiating with the Acura money....that is a given.

Well, it seems I've read that some dealers are not very forthcoming on the "Loyalty Rebate Program"....that is worth $1K. Too bad IF that's who they are. Not honest and upfront. I'd walk out.

Just food for thought.

Colorado Guy AF Ret.

Agree totally. We need to dismiss WILD claims that most of us here KNOW are crazy and just not true. Prove us wrong and we'll apologize! Right guys?? I will....but, I think I'm not doing any apologizing anytime soon!

Hou-RL

I too thought it was fluff when I read it but still I cant speak for that person and will not exclude the quote as I do not know what may or may not be true. I am in the mind to think this did not occur for this vehicle.

Acura employee discounts are normally around Invoice. Certainly not as low as the "claimed" discount we are discussing here. I've asked "friends" I have made at my Acura dealers...and they have told me what it would
cost them IF they wanted to buy a new Acura.

Just my guess....but, I don't think we are dealing with an employee here. Even so.....way too much discount. IF that were true...MANY employees would be buying new Acuras and Acura would be losing lots of $$.
Often, employees will buy a low miles trade in Acura....or one from the Fleet of loaners.

MI-RDX

Still too low, and if that were the case why would it not be mentioned? (Rhetorical question, no need for an answer.).

When I bought my '14 Cadillac SRX my neighbor 'intervened' and I got it at GM 'executive' pricing which is better than employee and that was just barely $1500 under invoice on a vehicle with a much higher MSRP.

russianDude

Colorado Guy AF Ret.

That price normally is for a successful dealer....but, they are not so kind as to pass on to their employees the 'very bottom dollar" price. Invoice is the norm. JMHO.

Hou-RL

You are way off base on this one. You are making a claim without the facts of how much it cost Acura to actually produce the vehicle. Acura is not selling the car to dealers at their cost. Surely you cant be making additional claims that you know how much it cost Acura to produce the RDX in each version. If the person had bought that vehicle at that price we do not know if Acura made or lose money on that deal. My guess would be Acura manufacturer would make plenty money but the selling dealer may also not lose money if their is money hidden.
Curb your enthusiasm a bit on what the actual dealer cost and Manufacturer cost are in any given month.

As others have mentioned, you have to look at the whole transaction. Maybe the person was low balled on a trade in, so the dealer was able to give extra amounts off the RDX. Or maybe the person bought all the bogus extras offered by the finance folks, so they were able to give extra amounts off. Or maybe the dealer added a lot of bogus accessories (like my closest Honda dealer does), and the person is including the discount on those worthless items as part of his discount. Or maybe the poster is lying. Who knows?

I just picked up my new RDX (AWD-Tech White with Ebony) yesterday after coming to terms with a dealer a few weeks back. I had to wait for the car to be built but after having for about a day now I am really excited about the purchase. I was able to get $1500 off MRSP PLUS the $1000 loyalty cash plus free wheel locks and a good discount on the all season and cargo mats. I enjoy negotiating and found a really good dealer to work with in the Chicagoland area. They made the whole process really simple for me given I was driving from a couple hours away, and they gave me a more than fair amount for my trade in. I will try to post pictures this weekend when I am able to.

I also purchased an extended warranty which I never have done so in the past, but with this being an all new vehicle and with so many new features and technology, it seemed to be worth it. Again I kept saying no until I got an offer I thought was more than fair (10 years 100,000 miles for $1600) for bumper to bumper, so if anything really goes wrong with the car (including the new panoramic sunroof, the alternator, or any of the other tech features it's covered). Now perhaps I will never use it, but given my son will likely be getting this car in about 5 years when he can drive, I have a feeling something may randomly happen to it.
