I've found these boards very useful, so I thought I'd pitch in with our car and price. We wanted a slate Ody EX-L RES (no NAV). MSRP: $32, 610 Inv: $29,386 Our price: $30,437 (plus they are throwing in all-weather mats, which we wanted) Once you add tax, license, and doc fee, it comes to something like $32,745. This was the absolute lowest price we could get in our area (lower New England), I think. I called every dealer with the quotes from the others, and once we bargained down to this price (which is the CarsDirect price as well), the other dealers said: "If you can get that price, take it." So we did. It isn't the best price I've seen on this board, but we're okay with it. Anyway, we put $500 deposit, and now they are looking for the car. (The contract says that the $500 deposit is refundable for any reason at any time.) I hope that helps any other buyers out there. |

Hello We are facing a dilemma and wanted to share with members on this forum to get perspective whether to wait for 2005 price drop or wait for 2006 and pay above MSRP We have been in market for about 1 1/2 month for odyssey EX-L R&N. The best offer so far I got on was about $1500 less than MSRP, in northern CA. To me it appears pricey, especially knowing that car will be soon replaced by newer version and depreciation of ANY new car is high in first initial years. I understand odyssey 2006 likely to come in next 2 months and perhaps remain popular in demand. It is therefore expected to command some premium over MSRP. Given this scenario, I have following questions, appreciate if any of you could share perspective that might help me making right decision. Assumptions: 1 After a month or two , odyssey 2005 available around invoice price 2 Around same time, odyssey 2006 is available at MSRP + $1K 3 One would like to keep car for minimum for 7-8 years 4 We can afford to wait for couple of months for new car. Also, at this stage we are not getting the first choice of color (Black with Tan ) that we want Questions: 1. Do you think assumptions 1&2 makes sense ? 2. If so, which model (2005 or 2006) one should pick given that it is meant for long term Thanks for your attention and help. |

Replying to: mimino (Jul 13, 2005 2:23 pm) The important thing to consider is leverage. If the things offered on the website are valuable to you, then the gift certificate adds extra value to the deal (and gives the dealer some leverage). If not, (as in my case), then it really doesn't make much difference and I won't factor it into the deal. Now if it had been for Best Buy, I would have jumped all over it and wouldn't have minded paying a little more for the van. In any case (according to the dealer I talked to), the DEALER isn't losing anything by offering this to you. From what I understand this is being provided to them by Honda in an advertising campaign at no cost to the dealer. So don't let them use this for leverage or to "Sweeten The Deal", because it's no skin off their nose. I haven't looked at the actual prices for the things on the website, but I can probably guess that Honda isn't out $1000 per certificate! Still, though, maybe it will come in handy for birthday/xmas gifts sometime if we can find something decent . . .

Replying to: gypsy2 (Jul 13, 2005 2:29 pm) I've bought new cars at about every point on the calendar and gone through the calculations you are doing now. I've concluded that it simply doesn't make much difference, especially if the car will be kept for years. Here (unlike with, say, a new Cadillac), there will not be several thousand dollars difference in the price (or depreciation) between an '05 and an '06. One thing you could do is fly to Ohio and buy the unit now for invoice or thereabouts. |

Replying to: warhoover (Jul 13, 2005 2:56 pm) What was the actual price you paid for your van? I only noticed one price listed in that novel and you said it was to high....can you please break down the number on your van....just the van...all the other fees are not needed...they vary.... I assuming you took the EX-L RES correct???? C'mon don't leave us in suspense!!!! lol :o)
