$44,900 on an Advance. About $3600 off sticker. Everything else is tax, regi and fees mandated by law and would only matter to you if you live in NY State.

Picking it up next Thursday.

I thought they switched to plastic due to corrosion issues. Don't want to try to add air and not be able to get the metal cap off because it's stuck on.

I remember my 2005 MDX came with metal caps and they actually had a product improvement campaign that mailed 4 plastic caps that looked like metal and said to swap them out due to corrosion concerns. Figure they wouldn't make that mistake again if they went through the trouble to do that in the past.TSB #11102005

I'm trying to negotiate a deal on a base RDX in white. I'm aiming for $34.5k + TTL in the SoCal area. Unreasonable?

2019 RDX w/ Tech (Gunmetal Metallic & Ebony Interior)

MSRP: $43,475
Sale Price: $40,175
Monthly Payment: $521 (tax, dealer fees incl.)
Drive Off: $630 (1st Month Payment + Inspection + DMV)
Mileage: 10,000
Term: 36 Months
Residual: 59%
Incentives: N/A
Region: NY



I shopped for about 2 weekends. I drove to 3 different dealerships within a 1 hr drive from my area and the dealership I ended up signing with was the 4th I visited, about an hour and 15 minutes out.
I was in contact with about 7 Acura dealerships, 2 Lexus dealerships, and 2 brokers over email as well.

The dealer I signed with offered to beat any deal I received from broker or other dealerships, even if only by a little.

Surprisingly in the many years I've car shopped, this dealer was the most pleasant to work with - they showed me numbers on paper transparently without me asking, gave me honest answers (not having Android Auto, and not knowing when...if it'll ever, arrive), and were very happy and respectful about getting my business.
For once, I wasn't badgered by anyone with questions like "would you like to buy this?... how about this?" etc. They only asked once if i wanted any accessories installed when I pick up my car, and dropped the question when I said no.
They also took my Honda along with w/e fees it had remaining on the lease.

Does acoustic front side glass work well? I'm now considering a-spec or advance package. It looks like the price is different from $2000. Does anyone regret to buy the advance package or didn't buy it?
After I review the whole reply. In Texas, I guess the OTD price is about $44000 for A-spec and $46000 for Advance, am I right? Can anyone pm me a good salesman?
Another question is that the CX-5 Signature and GLC are also in my buying options. Of course, the Mazda CX 5 is cheaper about $5000(compared to the A-spec). If I want more power and more confidence in high-speed handling, is it worth? I already watch lots of YouTuber's review, but I truly want some true owner to share the experience. And the GLC, I think I got a good deal, OTD price $44000 (MSRP $50600) and it's nicest daily comfort car, but less fun and cannot feel passion. Thank all of you guys, your information is really helpful.

I did not end up buying a RDX, but Pohanka gave me the $44500 in an email.fro a 2019 RDX Advance, SH-Awd (near end of Oct 2018).....not many dealers would do that......I bought our new 2011 Honda CRV from Pohanka Honda in VA and they gave me the best price as well..so good that another local dealer stated I was lying!!

al28

I think it was .00109 when I first talked to the dealership I signed with.

ross7777

Hasn't changed then. That's a 2.6% interest rate. I'm assuming it's still high due to the demand for the RDX. It was cheaper to lease an MDX when I was shopping for a vehicle.

al28

Yeah, the MDX was the same price as the RDX. I was cross shopping a few vehicles like the RX350, NX300, X3, Evoque, XC60, and the MDX. The RX350 was the most expensive of the bunch and I didn't want a midsized SUV yet. I felt that compact SUV met all my current needs perfectly. The MDX was outdated and the NX was way smaller even though the materials were nicer inside than the RDX. The Evoque, XC60, and X3 were questionable reliability.

The best deal I got was for the NX, with 11% off MSRP. With nav, premium pkg and 360 cam it was the same price as the RDX. The RX350 deal was good too, but it was still a little pricey with the packages I wanted. I didn't shop the rest too seriously because I liked the RDX enough after the test drive that I was sure it'd be one of the finalists in my decisions.

Got a SH-AWD, A-SPEC (no loyalty/military discounts) for $43,400 + $850 for Hitch/all weather mats and cargo, for a $47,000 OTD from Karen Radley at NoVA this weekend. Did all the work through email, and went to pick the car.

Hope this helps,.

quantum7

That is pretty good for the ASpec SH-AWD. I have been trying with a few different dealers on the same model and can only get them to $44,500. Good job and enjoy!

myacura42

FYI, in Raleigh, NC, not much price break, the better one is through Costco Auto program with $450 break from the INVOICE price.

When I was shopping price in October Greensboro had the best price. Don't know how that compares to Costco.

After a week of e-mailing dealerships, I finally signed the deal on our white RDX Base in the Southern California area. The average quotes I was receiving were in the $35,500 range for the RDX base. I also got a few that were in the $37,000 range. I was trying to negotiate a sale price of $34,500 but no dealerships were budging below the lowest quote I got at $35,000. Eventually got our deal at Weir Canyon Acura who beat the deal by $1 to earn my business.

MSRP: $38,295
Negotiated Sale Price: $34,999
Incentives/Rebates: $1750 (Loyalty + Military)
Total Discount from MSRP: $5046
Final Sale Price: $33,249

Picking up the RDX tomorrow

Gnat1000

I think that's a great price. We just bought our base and the best price we got was $35,195. Didn't qualify for any additional loyality/military benefits.

Took delivery yesterday - Advance $44,900 (no options, for now) + sales tax, registration, plates, inspection, and various other NYS mandated fees. My original goal was to keep it all south of 50K. Ended up south of 49K, so I figure I got a pretty fair deal.

acuraada

Congrats and nice deal! May I ask which dealership that was ? And would you recommend ?

JB in AZ

Congrats! Is this FWD or AWD? I assume AWD due to your location, but you know.....

AND, was there a trade in involved?

NooYawkuh

It was Smithtown. I might also have gone with Huntington. But I was not impressed with Bay Shore.



Thanks. Yes, AWD. SUPER Handling AWD!!

No trade. Straight up cash buy. Nobody was offering any incentives to finance.

Hibachiu

Have a quote for $41k OTD from Houston for a FWD- Tech package. No accessories or incentives. Is this a good deal?

DarkNinja75

$44197 for an AWD A-Spec in Northern California with an MSRP of $46895. That was the Costco dealer price, matched by a dealer who was closer to me. Based on my zip code, what I found online showed that to be in line with what I could expect.

That doesn't include some accessories and protection packages, and title and tax (which was over $3k for state fees alone). OTD was a hair under $50,500.

FYI - Here's the current lease deal on RDXs in the NY/NJ/PA/CT Tri-State Area posted on another forum I frequent (For March 2018):

2019 Acura RDX Base SH-AWD
MSRP: $40,295
Monthly Payment: $385 (+ tax)
Drive Off: First Month, Bank, Plates, Doc, Tax (if you don't roll it into lease payment)
Months: 36
Annual Mileage: 10K
Money Factor: .0020
Residual: 60%
Incentives: Conquest/Loyalty Included
Region: NY/NJ/PA/CT


I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put phone numbers here, but I can redirect you to the person with this deal, if none of your nearby dealers are willing to beat this offer.

al28

I meant March 2019*** sorry.

deanoatkinson

How much down to get 385 a month?

al28

$0 Down. Generally, always $0 down on leases! It doesn't lower the rates enough to justify putting a down payment.

Some other car manufacturers allow for MSDs which is better, but Acura doesn't allow MSDs.

al28

If you want tech package just add the price difference divided by 36 for an approximation.
Example: $43,495 (MSRP of tech) - $40,295 (MSRP of base)= 3,200,
$3200/ 36 months = $88.89
$385 + $88.89 = $473.89/Month + tax for RDX SH-AWD w/ Tech.

These you pay everywhere, and are pretty much a constant:
Taxes (based on the state you live in, and if you don't roll it into the monthly payment)
Govt + Dealer fees
First Month payment

deanoatkinson

To lease a base AWD in NJ they want 3-4k down and was still 550 a month with taxes. This was last month...

al28

What dealership did you go to? That's outrageous.

I picked up my 2019 RDX w/ Tech last month too - I shopped in North NJ & Upstate NY.

I had $0 Down, First Month Payment + Dealer / Gov Fees to take the car home.
I rolled NYS tax into monthly payment and I'm paying less than $550/month, 10k miles, 36 months.

Looks like we have inboxes that only hold 2 messages. Did not get your previous message.

This is the current offer from Park Ave Acura in NJ:
**Year, Make, Model, and Trim: 2019 Acura RDX tech
**MSRP: $43495
**Monthly Payment: $447
**Drive-Off Amount: $3085
**Months:36
**Annual Mileage:10,000
**MF:.00109
**Residual: 59%
**Available Incentives: 1,000 conquest loyalty


The $3,085 is tax + first month + dealership fees + govt fees.
You can roll the tax into the monthly if you wanted to, then you'll just need $1,500-ish.
