Thanks to all that posted to this forum before me. I read the forum over the past couple of weeks and listened to the lessons learned from those that purchased an Odyssey. The information saved me thousands of dollars  . I followed the advice of many in the forum and requested internet quotes from a number of dealers within 100 miles of my home town (Aiken SC). Several responded with specific quotes for the model I desired. Some never responded. However, armed with the available information I went to my local dealership this weekend and test drove the van. They had the color we wanted on the lot with the desired options. I did not think we would ever agree on a price as we started more than $5,000 apart  . But in the end, I came up $490 and the dealership came down the rest. While I did not get $400 above invoice, I was still pleased with the results. I also had a quote from Bernardi Honda on a 7 year/ 120,000 mile $0 deductible Honda Care warranty in hand when I went to the dealer. Here is the deal I got after about 90 minutes of negotiations: Base Price EX-L with RES including Destination fee, cargo tray, splash guards and wheel locks: $30, 890.00 Admin Fee: $199.50 (did not like it but agreed to pay it) SC Sales Tax $300.00 (capped at $300 by state law) Tag Transfer Fee $25 (state fee) Extended Warranty $1,000.00 (a couple of hundred better than Bernardi) Total out the Door $32,414.50 I did have a trade-in but worked that out after agreeing to the above. |

Replying to: dcman2 (Oct 25, 2005 5:58 am) Time was of the essence for me -- business trips later this week and next and our leased Passat Wagon must be returned next week; wife would have killed me if I'd stranded her with no car! Still, I wish I could have expanded my search all the way to Philly to get that deal! Fact that dealers in a city only a few hours away from DC would charge thousands of dollars less than dealers here really blows my mind. I hope all DC-area Odyssey buyers will read this and similar boards and bring their business to Baltimore and Philly area dealers. May the DC area dealers choke on their inventory!

Replying to: unicycle33 (Oct 25, 2005 8:20 pm) Except that the offer was made without being dependent on my request for foglights and mudguards. Yes, I realize I could have saved $350 by doing it myself with discount Honda parts from the internet. The foglight install is apparently somewhat complex, so I'd risk of messing up my van, plus I would forfeit the factory warranty included if the dealer does the install. I also called around to other dealers before shopping for the van. The best price quoted in my area was just under $100 less including the required 2-3 hours of labor, with a parts pricematch to an online dealer. Since I'm not that handy, even an extra $100 seemed like a no-brainer and saved at least that much money in my time. YMMV.
