So after about a year of research, discussions with dealers, negotiating, and patience today I took delivery of my 2001 ZDX Advance in black cherry pearl with a taupe interior. I also loaded up on Acura accessories--the service department had never installed most of the ones I got! I was pleased with the deal ($2k below invoice on the car, then MSRP on the accessories but no charge for installation). I probably could have done better but it wasn't worth negotiating further--I was happy and feel that the dealership got a fair profit too.

I won't get a chance to detail it myself until next weekend, but here are some initial pics:

 

Wow, beatiful. Love that color on that car. First one I've seen in that color.

Congrats.

 

Thanks! Apparently this color is available by special order only, and even then my dealership had to pull strings with corporate to get it produced. For whatever reason, they are only producing ZDX's in black, silver, and white. There was a big push for the gold ones last year, but apparently those are special order now, too.

I've never understood why manufacturers would list color combinations in the brochure and then make it so hard to get them. But in any event, this is the color we liked and the fact that it is so rare is just an added bonus!

 

That is a beautiful colour and looks great with the rims and running board. It sure would have been a choice for me if it had been available up here.

 

Beautiful color and very rare! Congrats and welcome to our small group.

 

Congrats! I like the accessories

 

Congrats on the purchase, welcome to the family.

That's a great color - I have yet to see it in real life, and I love those rims!

 

The rims make the car, IMO. It's quite literally amazing how much difference a simple inch in diameter and styling of the spokes makes.

 

looks awesome, detail it yourself?? Could it be any cleaner!? Congrats..

 

Those rims look great, nice ride!

 

That's some serious deliciousness

The black cherry and ionized bronze are my favorite ZDX colors.

Nice choice

 

Awesome. Congrats!

 

Count me in boys. I just leased a CPO ZDX Tech, Ionized Bronze/Umber. I got a sweet deal on a beautiful low milage vehicle, just 6K miles.

 

Drake,
Congrats. You're going to enjoy the ride. Sweet color/interior combo too.

 

Drake, do you mind me asking what a CPO is leasing for?

 

$399/mo 10K/yr just TTL upfront! Originally he wanted $479/mo but,
I happened to be in the right place at the right time to get this deal. It was the last day that the dealer could lease that particular vehicle, begining in april he could only sell it. needless to say I love it, I traded in a ML350 for it.

 

Congrats. . . Nice color combo

 

Congratulations, that is definitely a really nice color!

 

thanx.

I find this drives soo much nicer than the merc ml350 that i traded in for this. Especially the tranny, the ml350 had a 7 speed that was a real pos.

 

Wow! I really like the color, really sets off the rims and running boards. Very clean!

 

Thanks! I detailed it again today and continue to love the color combination, and really the vehicle overall.

 

looking good... i wonder if Acura will be doing an MMC on it anytime soon... hoping that if they do they "fix" the front grille the way they did on the TL...

 

The best ZDX I have seen thus far...

 

Thank you! And while I feel the huge grille at least works with the aggressive styling on the rest of the ZDX (unlike the other vehicles in the line-up), I agree that the toned-down grille on the new TL is significantly improved. It would most likely translate very well to the ZDX.

 

Looks awesome. Congrats

 

The Dealership by me has two ZDX's in this color, sitting right next to each other. They have those and a white one that's in the showroom.

 

They must have seen all the love this color is getting in this thread and decided to order two to have on hand!
