Will this recall have any bearing on the price that the dealers are asking? I have an offer for a Black 05 Ex with Leather for $29,500. I think this is not a good offer and it should be $28900. But since my van is coming in later next week, not sure if I can use the recall and the proximity to the 06 models as a bargaining tool. Anybody care to share numbers for EX with Leather prices? |

| I'd like to point out that the price I mentioned is before TTL. $29,500+TTL | |

For those of you who have not bought your Odyssey and are still shopping, has anyone thought of waiting for the '06 considering they will be out in only a month or two? I'm sure the dealers won't be selling the '06's so close to invoice as they are the '05's, but how much more money are we talking about? Thoughts?

Replying to: sccrzeus (Aug 04, 2005 11:26 am) This is my story ..... Went to CRYSTAL LAKE Honda northwest suburb of Chicago IL. They did NOT have any NEW ody in stock. The only ody they had were 2 touring which had been used by the owner (model cars). Both had over 6000 miles. Both had been equipped with a list of dealer's option that I don't want. They want to sell it at MSRP, and call it a new car. I laughted my azz off, but tried to be polite to the sales lady. I didn't even want to tell her the price I would pay for that crap. Basically, I wouldn't take that crap at any price. +6000 miles and want to call it a new car at MSRP ??? Sometime... I think that crappy dealership has no brain..... |

Had a very good experience at Roush Honda in Medina, OH. Had spoken to salesman on the phone a few weeks ago. Wasn't ready to pull the trigger - price then was 30,736 for EXL-RES Decided to look only for EX or great deal on EXL-RES. Called yesterday to start negotiation again - saleman was pretty busy but he finally got back to me to say they had 1 EX remaining. The one they obviously wanted to sell was white. Wife wanted silver or slate green. White wasn't appealing to us. But we saw a silver EXL-RES on the lot at that time. Anyway, I used the Honda.com site to send out requests for quotes from some other dealers. Only one of the 2 responded (Mike Pruitt). The gave me everything via email - and offered all 3 - EX, EXL, EXL RES for 300 over invoice. They only had the slate green though in the EXL RES. I called Roush back and told them I wanted the silver EXL-RES - they asked about price and I said $300 over invoice. I think he was surprised at first and asked me why i thought that was fair - i said, b/c i have an exact offer for that amount for the slate green. He called back 5 minutes later to confirm our deal. So, I got the EXL-RES for 29686 +TTL. I think this is a pretty good price. |

First, I'd like to thank all for posting here, this is an extremely helpful forum. I'm in the midst of purchasing a 2005 EX-L RES&NAV in Redrock Pearl from Keenan Honda. I feel like I brokered a very fair deal for both me and the dealer. Problem is, the deal was agreed upon in early July. They say they have my car coming in around Aug 20th. My car included the following options: crossbars, fog lights, storage arm rest, wheel locks, splash guards, and cargo tray. Total price before trade, taxes and tags is $33,777, invoice shows as $30,849. Agreed upon profit to the dealer was 5% of invoice. Where I think I did well was in the value of the options, however, I'm not so sure about the $32,906 before what they're valuing as $871 in options ("greatly reduced from their real price", they say). On top of all this we've slipped into August and are facing '06s coming soon. Any thoughts on the deal at hand?

Replying to: gagirl1 (Aug 04, 2005 4:17 pm) 1. Can you wait couple of months? 2. You can get an 05 model now close to invoice (in some markets), but 06 models will sell closer to MSRP (that is, about $3K more). It appears that there will not be any significant changes to the 06 models, so why pay more? Well, I was told by the folk who I am working with now (to get my 05) that 06s will go probably $500-$800 bellow sticker (who knows). 3. 05 models have some 'defects', which is not unusual for a 'first year' model, which, most likely 06 models will not have. So, if you have not made a deal yet, and have the extra money (some of it is worth spending) to spend, and can wait few more months, maybe you can get an 06 model. Oh, by the way, you may get different color options (who knows).

Replying to: mich_chow (Aug 04, 2005 8:07 pm) Friends of mine from milwaukee told me that touring w/ dvd & nav in milwaukee is at invoice price. At least 2 honda dealers quoted. one of them has the color that I want. I will go to milwaukee this weekend to visit my friends and hopefully I will drive a new van on my way back. if the stock turns out to be lemon over there, then 06 model is definitely my next option.
