Anyone on Money Talk sell Acura’s or have a contact?

Internet changed car buying. They know that if you are talking they have what you want. You already searched everywhere.

It sucks too because they all inflate everything

Huh? The internet is in favor of the buyer, usually.

OP, talk to multiple dealers in a comfortable radius of you and get them in a bidding war with each other.........is what I’d tell you if there wasn’t a chip shortage. The car market is similar to the housing market right now so good luck

Fabre.

Looking to purchase 2022 MDX in a matter of days. My local dealer isn’t budging. Willing to drive.

I mean, if I was a dealer i wouldnt come down much. You're shopping for next year's model of a pretty nice car.

You're very unlikely to get much if anything off a 2022 MDX. New generation, they are in very short supply still right now and are very popular. If you want to deal, find a previous gen 2020 (they didnt make 2021 models).

In Atlanta I just looked at our 3 fairly good size acura dealers on the north side of ATL and all 3 are very low on their 2022 MDX inventory, like 6, 7 and 11 at each dealer. They arent going to budge much if any on price on inventory that low with something they know they can sell within a few weeks of it hitting lots at sticker basically.

Your best bet on a 2022 deal is a demo model but I highly doubt any dealer is selling one right now so close to them hitting dealerships.

We looked at a new 2020 mdx base model this weekend and liked it. Are the 22’s a big change from the previous model? The looked about the same

Yeah pretty significant, new generation is almost always a noticeable difference.

Now some things stayed pretty much the same - V6 is still basically the same (power and all). A lot of stuff is upgraded/larger from previous gen though like normal. Slightly more leg room, slightly more cargo space...but the biggest thing to me looking at the 2022 vs. previous gen is its got a way more luxurious feel to it on the inside...although I will say the new touchpad interface for the infotainment system could be a deal breaker for some. Why they went with that vs. a touchscreen is still beyond me. It's one of those "have to get used to it" for most people.

BTW - wife and I have a 2014 MDX SH-AWD which is the 1st year of the previous gen model to the 2022 now. Literally about to hit 100k miles on it this week and it's been bulletproof. We bought it used with 39k miles on it back in 2017 for $25k. Great cars, and getting SH-AWD is an absolute no brainer. Do not get the FWD models.

Have had 2 Acura's with this and their AWD platform is likely the best of any automaker maybe Audi is better but that would be it.

I’d agree with that. The top three brands (outside of exotic brands like Porsche, Ferrari, etc.) in most performance tests tend to be Audi, Acura and Subaru. Although they have slightly different approaches and systems, they each have an overall focus on torque vectoring (without introducing “torque steer” at the front) and power/traction distribution - especially on their performance models.

I’ve read good things about Ford’s “Intelligent AWD” too, but they seem to be in a distant 4th place to the top 3.

I'm Getting ready to sell a 2016 RDX, doubt that is what you are looking for as its smaller and a 2016 not 2022
