Update on my 2011 LR4 order...
Hello everyone,
I mentioned on the previous page that I placed an order a few weeks ago for the 2011 model. I ordered the LR4 HSE Plus/7-Seat Comfort with HD pkg. I also included the Xenons and surround camera system all for $53,000. Because the 2011 got rid of the HSE Plus and LUX Plus models, the dealer backed out of the $53,000 deal. They said that I would have no choice but to upgrade to the HSE LUX HD pkg because they couldn't do it for $53,000 if I want all the previous included options and standard equipment. It turned out that many of the standard equipment on the 2010 HSE pkg moved up to the 2011 HSE LUX pkg. The 2010 HSE does not include the Mood light, Push button starter, Heated steering wheel, rear heated seats, heated windshield, and a few more things. What a disappointment! Not to mention, I don't need premium leather, frig/cooler, and seating memory. That's just more electrical problems in the future. Now I'm in the mercy of the sales rep. Originally, my wife wanted the 2011 Acura MDX/Tech and Entertainment pkg ($45,000), but she agreed to allow me to get the LR4 as long as we stay under $55,000 including tax. I like the 3rd row on the LR4. Plus, the HP and interior room beats all competitors.
As a last ditch effort, I enrolled in the USAA's Car Buying Program and USAA disseminated the $51,773 price tag to participating dealers for a 2010 HSE PLUS/7-seat Comfort and HD pkg. So far the Manhattan, NY, Alexandria, VA, and Roanoke, VA dealers have contacted me. They pretty much out of 2010 models with those options, so they said they will try to give me a great deal for the 2011 model. I will find out tomorrow who offers the best price on the LR4 HSE LUX, HD pkg.
Anyone know what price I should be expecting for a 2011 LUX, HD pkg?
Thanks,
Chris
