Replying to: krs1 (Sep 21, 2005 6:22 am) I asked each dealer for their best no kidding buy it now price and got a good one from Hennessy the first time. Others called me or responded with generic e-mails that looked automated and not much more. I was geniune and direct with each but not rude. I tried to counter pricing but basically, dealers know generally know their competition & limits and once they are beat, aren't likely to go lower. The internet manager I dealt with was surpised they gave me the price they did. Use trinkets as the deal clincher. Keep in mind, every dealer pays the same as any other, greed and overhead are the variables. There's lots of good advice here and someone posted they're getting a Touring $1,500 below what I paid but it's all about timing; as in finding the right vehicle or having dealers cooperatively swap inventory or inbound allocations, perhaps even to meet a sales goal at EOM. Some don't play nice with each other (FWB & Pensacola), others like Tameron in Birmingham have several locations to pull from. Happy Odyssey to you!

Amazing deal - just got the VIN number for my new 2006 Odyssey EXL after paying a deposit of $500 over the weekend....took 30 quote requests from all dealers in 100 mile radius to find one as low as $27,950 which is technically below invoice (i believe invoice is 28,258) - i still can't believe it....but hey i got the VIN and i verified that it is indeed EX-L with the right color on Honda website. Still yet to finish the deal and get the car - hoping to have it in 10 days at most. This is a great time to look for deals - last 2 weeks in september when everybody is trying to get their volume in for 3rd quarter...i have been looking for a EXL since July and got a couple of 2005 quotes  invoice but didn't jump on it...and i was almost starting to feel bad since most 2006 quotes were in 29000 range before i got surprised by this one...will repost once i really get the van...

Replying to: coolguy3 (Sep 21, 2005 4:57 pm) That said, who cares if it is below invoice or not? Unless there are some massive charge add-ons, getting 27,950 for an EX-L is an outstanding offer. Congratulations.

I recently posted about my purchase, but when I referred a friend for the same car with exactly the same extras installed the dealer was not willing to do business, this only after 3 days of buying mine? My friend had some very interesting conspiracy theories wrt this. why will the dealer sell me my car with 8miles on it for one price and the refuse the same deal to a referal? Did something happen during the first 8miles of my car, during other people's test drives that they hid from me ex, suspension damage due to rough driving? or had fixed in their shop and thats why they where willing to sell me mine for one price and then ask for more from my friend for exactly the same car? What is the law on such fraud? Can/Does it happen on new cars? cldrant if your are reading this, this is your thread see what others post in reply to this question |

Seems that the conspiracy theory stuff is getting you worked up. Remember, each deal is unique at that point in time. There are many reasons why a dealer might take a price one day, but not 3 days later, such as: - they had a bunch in stock when you got yours, but sold most/all before your friend showed up - it was month/period end, and they needed a sale to make a manufacturer bonus target - it was a slow/rainy/whatever day, and they really wanted to make a sale - you were a repeat customer, and got a special deal - different color? - gas prices went through the roof? Big flood of additional shoppers? These are all quick thoughts, but the key point is, supply and demand determines price, and S/D is a fluid concept, which certainly can change in a few days. Note, I am assuming these are both cash deals, no trade involved. If you had a trade, it is quite likely they showed you a better price on the new unit, but made it up on the trade. As to your other question, I do not believe they are legally obligated to disclose if they had to do some repairs for in transit damage (which I think is fairly common, but usually minor stuff). But, if they did a good enough job that you can't even tell, I doubt they would feel the need to lower the price to try and get rid of it. Not likely to meet the legal definition of "fraud" |

First I would like to thank everyone who has posted a message on this forum. I found it very helpful in my purchase. What I bought.... 2006 Odyssey EX Silver with Grey interior Price: 26979.68 Dealer License Tax 53.96 Title Tax: 819.86 License Plate: 37.50 Title: 10.00 Processing Fee: 349.00 TOTAL OUT THE DOOR: 28,250.00 I believe that I got a fair deal. I probally could have got it a little lower but I don't think I did to bad.
