Can I backout from a Honda EXL with RES added deal by kondala
Aug 07, 2005 (1:18 am)

On Sat, dealer offered EXL + dealer installed RES (with mudguard,wheel-lock, spoiler) for $30,750...the dealer did not budge even one-dollar.. ended up filling in the forms for credit-check..but have NOT yet signed any agreement papers...will do that on Monday after the dealer will have installed the RES in the dealership..
 
At that time, I thought it was a great deal, but reading the rates that everyone has been getting at this time of the year..I now strongly feel it was not a great deal at all..
 
Do you think I should call the dealer, the first thing in the morning before he embarks on the RES addition, to re-negotiate by threatening to backout.
 
(pitfall is that this golden color EXL (which my wife loves) is not there with any other dealer in-stock )
 
Pls advise so that I can get some sleep.

If you think you can get this same van elsewhere, and save $400 or more, then do so.
 
If $30,000 + is the going rate in your area, make wifey pooh happy and go ahead and buy it. Though with wifey pooh so happy with that new golden van...you still may not get much sleep.

By all means, call the dealer BEFORE they start the RES installation. However, bear in mind that price is mostly dependent on local market conditions and prices quoted here (unless directly applicable to your situation) will have little or no influence on the dealer.

CA Prices paid for two Odysseys by laurelk

FYI, my sister purchased an EX-L with RES & Nav at Robertson Honda in North Hollywood last month for $33,200. I just yesterday purchased a Touring at Stevens Creek Honda in San Jose for $36,000.
 
Deal went surprisingly smoothly, we saw the car on Friday night, I gave them my price over the phone on Saturday and held totally firm, no negotiating. They eventually took it. I then took my trade in, we were off by $2k but they ended up splitting it with me, so I felt pretty good. I had only budgeted an additional $500 from the trade, and it saves us a lot of hassle trying to sell the car.
 
Thanks to all who post on this site, it's helpful info! Also, we found a dealer in FL that is selling the extended warranty at a heavy discount. My dealer's cost ($1400) was still $100 over their discounted price to me ($1305) so I'm giving them a shot.
 
About six weeks ago I had a local dealer quote me $500 over MSRP as the Costco price. HA! A couple weeks later another dealer was down to MSRP. So, my sense is that perhaps deals are starting to go on the 2005 models, if you can find what you want. Tourings are getting hard to find. I was going to buy from Robertson, but they said they only had one and other dealers wouldn't trade them. Good luck!

Pricing on Honda Odyssey touring by mikeriia

I bought an Odyssey touring, without DVD or GPS, two weeks ago for $31,450, destination included in that price. Western suburbs of Chicago.
 
But I went back to get my "wheel locks" to protect my very expensive tires, and the salesperson I bought the car from told me that the touring editions with GPS and DVD are selling at 1000 under MSRP--- and there is very little 05 inventory left
 
By the way, the wheel locks are nothing more than special lug nuts--- I have a feeling you could buy them for $50 and install yourself in 10 minutes

I should add, my Touring has the Nav and RES systems. I forget that you can get them without that! So, my price was about $870 over invoice (including $515 destination charge) or $3K under MSRP.

EX-L Washington DC Metro area by buy4less1

I am looking to buy Odyssey EX-L in Washington DC area. So far I have had horrible expreience. Most dealers are out of EX-L and are not even honoring their internet quotes. I got a quote of 28434 + F + TTL from Brown's honda, but when I went to the dealership they said they are no longer honoring that price. Can someone recommend a good dealership around DC area?

Pohanka in Salisbury MD is where I got mine. Just know how to work the deal and stick to your guns. If you want to drive that far, try going thru their internet dept first. We did get a response from them when we were looking, but we were already headed that way before we were able to read it and dealt with them in person, but the emails and all from them looked like it would have been a good way to deal with them. link titlepohanka

Sudden drop?? by gretchenc
Aug 07, 2005 (7:42 pm)
Reply
I've been watching pricing at AutoFair in NH and noticed that the Touring with NAV RES suddenly dropped about $1000, putting it $400 under invoice. Someone else here recently mentioned "under invoice" Tourings. What's up with that? '06s arriving soon? The recall?
 
I'm still trying to figure out '05 vs '06 and found this a curious development.
 
Thanks!
