2013 New MDX with Tech & ENT package - best price range in GA?

[expensiveduck]

2013 New MDX with Tech & ENT package -What would be best price range (drive-out) for a new 2013 MDX with Tech & ENT package in GA? My tax rate is 7%.

Dealer cost on a 2013 MDX Technology/Entertainment is currently invoice ($45,194) minus holdback ($977) minus incentives ($2,500), or $41,717. A really good deal is usually $300-1000 over the actual dealer cost. So you should be able to get one for somewhere in the $42,000-42,700 range. On top of that figure, you can add your local charges for sales tax and for registration and title fees.

the least quote I got for this one was 43K +TTL. I am not sure if I can get still lower than that. Please advice

Well, that's $1300 over dealer cost. Not a great deal, but not terrible either.

If they won't go down in price, you might ask them to throw in some accessories you might be interested in at no extra charge - cargo mat, cargo cover, stuff like that. You can see a list of accessories here.

And if you end up just buying the car at that price, don't feel bad, it's not like you're all that far off.

Finally, I bought MDX with Tech & ENT for 42500+Titile+Tax+ Registration. Also I spent 1000 for Advance running board + Body side molding + Roof rails black + all season mat + Cargo tray.

In total it comes to….43500+TTL = around 47K (drive-out) for the whole package. Please let me know what you guys think about this deal? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I think you got a GREAT deal. You got them down to $800 over cost for the car, which is very good, to begin with. And the accessories made it an even better deal; those normally sell at Tim's discount prices for $1300, so to pay $1000 for them means you saved another $300 by buying them along with the car. Well done!

Hi guys, the prices being quoted here, do they include destination? On a 2013 with Tech and Ent, I was quoted $42,400 + Dest and TTL without any negotiations yet... I'm in MD.

A piece of unsolicited advise, skip the entertainment and spend that money on two iPads.

This was exactly my plan as well. Not to knock someone who wants the entertainment package. But for the money you can get two seat mounts for the back front seats and have a much bigger and nicer picture for the kids.

Free bump though, sorry to derail the thread.

LOL, good point. I was thinking about that and you could say the same about the Tech package - use my phone as the Nav.

[wrestrepo]

Well, there is a little more argument in favor of the tech package, you get better leather, audio and more connectivity with your phone (BT audio)....I know that the RES adds heated seats and power outlet, but my kids are still using child seats so they would not be able to enjoy that for a few years. The navigation itself is not too bad either.

An update - got off the phone with the sales guy and it's now 41800 without too much trouble. Factor in the dest, it's in line with what others have quoted. I'll try to get it this weekend and report back.

Yes. So you should be paying $42,000-42,700 including destination charges, but not including taxes, title fees, and license/registration fees.

Yes, that's much better. With destination charge (I'm guessing $600-700?), that puts you right in that $42,000-42,700 range. Go for it!

We took the advice offered here regarding the Ent package and chose one with the Tech only. Paid 40500 + TTL. Got the side molding and cargo tray thrown in. Thanks for your help!

Add $895 for destination charge to these figures...
