Replying to: isellhondas (Jul 26, 2005 4:57 pm) Purchased my vehicle today elsewhere and love it was told by another dealer they used an old invoice pricing that the invoice dropped $600 so went with them thanks for the input buyersadvice.com seems to think its a "SECRET" |

Replying to: mich_chow (Jul 20, 2005 6:45 am) Sorry - I think I shared in an earlier post. I bought an EXL WITH NAV & RES for $31,964 ($600 over invoice) + $55 doc fee. This worked out to about $1,200 below TMV and $1,300 below my next best offer in Chicagoland. Loving the van so far, but having a small problem with the power sliding door. Off to another forum to see what I can learn about that... |

Replying to: vince_lmt (Jul 25, 2005 4:06 pm) 1.) I just bought an EXL RES NAV 2.) I have a steep driveway 3.) The dealer that I bought from was not the closest dealer. Basically, on a Saturday I did the whole email bit. Got a great price from a dealer about 20 miles away. Really wanted to buy from the dealer 5 miles away, and gave them every opportunity (via phone and email) to win my business (they already have my service business on my '02 Accord). On Monday, I was supposed to go buy the car, but I didn't want to complete the transaction without driving the car up my driveway. I went to the nearby dealer and asked them for a test drive. Call me a sinner, but I didn't mention the other dealer. I just told him that getting the car up my driveway without scraping was a show-stopper (the Accord scrapes, but we bought the car before the house - what can you do?). Anyway, the Odyssey didn't scrape, but the front end came REALLY close when I backed straight out. The thing is - you never really back straight out. If I turn the wheel near the bottom of our driveway, the clearance is fine. Anyway, I promptly drove to the dealer 20 miles away and took delivery. I felt a tiny bit bad, but that's all. Bottom line is you need to take care of #1. I've had plenty of dealers waste my time (which, I'll humbly say is more valuable - at least to me - than theirs is). Besides, how many people test drive a car that are just shopping, aren't serious, etc.? I mean, the ratio of test drives to sold cars isn't supposed to be 1:1, is it? So a salesman had to ride on a test drive that didn't result in a sale for him? Well, maybe his dealership needs to price more aggressively? Ok, deep breath - I got a little excited there... For Loveyalions, I can confess that I am Honda loyal. However, I did drive the Sienna as well. It was a lot more $ equipped the way we wanted (RES, NAV). It does has a higher clearance, though it also came pretty close to 'bottoming out' on our driveway.

2005 EX-L price quote $29.310 I won't pay that since the invoice is 27,949 I'm thinking about offering around 28,000. The 2005 Sienna XLE I was quoted was 32,312 (MSRP 36,something) and I offered 30,000 just this morning they said 30,500 we haven't responded yet. They are ready to move these things off the lot with the 2006's coming in and are cutting some pretty good deals. What do you guys think about these deals?

Just bought a Red 2005 Odyssey EX (cloth) from Menlo Honda in Redwood City, CA vehicle price: $26,000 sales tax: about $2300.: fees: $45 doc + about $200. licence/dmv out-the-door: $28,565 Negotiation took a little back and forth. Initial offer $25,500 (about $300 below invoice) but went up to invoice. They said ok but their offer sheet had a $515 destination charge added. I said destination was included in the invoice price of $25,888, crossed it out, then wrote $26k for the vehicle price. That was accepted by the dealer. They might have sneaked one by me. The local sales tax is 8.25% but the tax I paid was 8.75%. I didn't think to check it when I signed the sales contract. The amount looked about right to me (under 10%). I did read somewhere that CA (?) added a 0.5% tax on new vehicles but I don't know if that's true. They offered me a 100k miles/7 yr warranty for $1400. I offfered to $700 for it but they wouldn't budge on the price. I also declined their fabric protection offer. Didn't think dealers still offered that. I didn't have a trade in and had my own financing. It was the last EX they had on the lot. I had called 20 (!) dealers in the bay area from Santa Rosa to San Jose asking what colors they had in stock. My wife didn't want gold/beige which of course a number of dealers had. Went to a few dealers that week. Here are my quick impressions: Walnut Creek: Earlier in the week, I offered below invoice on a light blue EX. Sale manager offered it for invoice but I politely declined (thought I could do better). I went back a couple of days later to get it but it was sold that morning for $1000 over invoice. Should have taken the invoice deal. Dublin:Salesman told me they had a Midnight Blue Ex 'in their lot in Tracy.' They said they would have to pay someone to drive it out so they wouldn't be as willing to make a deal on it. Started to make a deal on a SageBrush that they had on the lot. The sales manager was a real jerk so I happily walked out. San Jose: very large dealership. Had a Red, Silver, and White EX. Made an invoice offer on the Silver. Sales manager showed me a computer screen which 'calculated' the difference between my offer and invoice. It said $28,000 was $400 below invoice (their $0 profit level). I didn't want to try and figure out all the numbers on the screen so I politely declined to make a higher offer and left. Sales manager called me back later that night saying, 'I could have the silver EX.' Too bad. He missed his chance. Redwood City: last stop on a long day but it worked out. |

| Does anyone have any experiences trading with Crown Honda of Greensboro? I am looking to trade an '03 Sequoia for an Odyssey and am wondering how they deal. Thanks | |
