Odyssey EX in NorthWest by roastboar

The Odyssey dealers in the Seattle area (Kirkland Honda, Bellevue Honda) don't seem to have any 2005 odyssey's. The ones that are on their lot are pre-sold; as a result they are able to demand a very high price. The best I've got is ~2K over invoice.
 
Does anyone have experience in this area recently? I'm prepared to go upto Oregon to get a good deal.
 
If I do land up buying, I'll post my experience.
 
TIA,
RoastBoar

I am also in the market for a 05 Ody, I have asked around here in OR and they are out of stock. The next shipment they are expecting is last week of July and continuing on through mid-August. Some of the arriving vehicles have already been pre-sold. I am wondering why Honda is not providing more vehicles. Would it be because Honda is getting ready to put the 06's in the market ?

If you're willing to travel, try Discovery Honda in Moses Lake, or Bob Hall Honda in Yakima. I'm picking up an EX-L from Discovery tomorrow. I know that Bob Hall has two EX-Ls and perhaps an EX too. Good luck!

Great story. Why did you pay Texas TTL when you purchased and live in Florida? Thanks for the clarification.

I'm in the military and a Texas state resident. Texas taxes on an Odyssey are %6.25 and the registration fees add up to less than $100. I think the yearly registration fee is around $50, which is reasonable compared to other states without income tax.
 
I'm not sure what Florida vehicle registration fees are, but I'm pretty sure the taxes are higher. I've even heard that individual counties can add a to new vehicle taxes, sometimes bringing them as high as 8%.
 
If anyone else knows more, feel free to share . . .

Any experience with "preferred customer" sales? by quagman

I'm in the market for an Odyssey and received a flyer in the mail from my local Honda dealer (Honda Cars of McKinney, TX - I purchased an Accord from them several years back). They are holding what they call a "Honda Preferred Customer Sale" for two days later this week. According to the flyer, "You can purchase any vehicle in stock for only $1.00 over invoice!" I checked their website and they have 18 Odyssey's in stock, and the Odyssey's are part of this deal. Does anyone have experience with this kind of promotion? Is there a catch?
 
Thanks,
Dave

EX-L (no NAV, no RES)-Chicago area dealers? by zbaby

Anyone have a good recent buying experience for an EX-L, no NAV, no RES-with leather in the greater Chicago area? If it's a good deal, we'd be willing to drive an hour. And should we wait a few weeks--will they start discounting the 2005s more?

warhoover,
 
I am a MIlitary non-resident living in Tampa Florida and it appears that your taxes in Texas are higher than what they are here...we pay 6% plus county tax...in my case $50 bucks (Hillsbourgh County)...the tag fees are a little more expensive...but a way to get around that is claim the military non-resident portion for the tags...all you need to do is present your military orders to any DMV location and you can save big time on the cost...I just did a tag transfer on my vehicle and it costs me about $40 bucks....and for a brand new tag it was around $110 bucks...but that was 3 years ago...where this state like to get you is when you want to title your out of state vehilce here...they want to charge you some dumb fee to do that...however, you do not have to tilte your vehilce here in Florida unless you want to...you can still get FLorida plates...but because you are Military you do not have to title your car here...the reason is if you only stay here for one tour...in my case 3 years...why would I pay to title here and then move out of state...this came directly from the police officer who works security at our DMV's here in Tampa....make sense? Hope So!!

About $31.8K out the door. Paid invoice ($27,434) + dest. ($515) + $1000 markup + tax + lic, and a few hundred for accessories at dealer cost (splash guards were free). Dealers in Puget Sound and the Eastside weren't willing to budge much from MSRP, so it was a great deal. I'd recommend buying from Discovery since they are willing to negotiate entirely online, and picking the Ody up took less than 2 hours with no additional pressure to buy extended warranties or anything else.
