Thats a great price.
 
My experience shopping in Albuquerque NM for an Odyssey EX-L.
 
Garcia $30,345
Perfection $30,226
Credit Union $30,013
 
Fowler Honda in Oklahoma City $28,499 +ttl
 
Maybe I could have pushed a little lower, but was happy with that. Add my one way ticket ($200 and $60 of gas) I saved 1300 over anyone in Albuquerque. In fact they all told my to just go there and get the car. So I did. Easiest 1300 I've ever made.
Thanks Edmunds for the research. Made car buying much easier.

If you don't mind listing the dealer and any experience you have had in the Atlanta area that would be great! We will be in the market in the next month or so.

Try Hennessy Honda of Woodstock, NW of Etlana. Their ISM's gave me a great price in mid-Sep for a Touring R&N. Quick, easy, no hassle deal via e-mail and they even picked me up at the airport. I also got a gamut of add ons at cost providing I paid for installation labor. This IS the best way to buy a vehicle and smart dealers will check not only what's on the lot, but what is projected inbound or is swappable between dealers. Don't forget about current incentives and get them into a little bidding war.
 
Good luck!

Just want to share with you that I was in a similar situation. My previous minivan was rearended by a truck and was totalled. I emailed 15 dealers using Honda website. 10 in Bay Area and 5 in LA. (I live in Bay Area.) The best offer was from Diamond Bar Honda which is $1000 over invoice (for EX-L with Navi/DVD.) This was in Earlier August when 2005 supply was really short and 2006 model had not arrived yet.
 
I took the offer from Diamond Bar Honda. Rented a car and drove down to LA. Took my family and friends to Universal Studios and Knott's Berry farm with the new car. It was a fun trip!

Kaipingma,
 
How much in the hole were you on your wrecked vehicle or did you have 'gap' insurance? This special coverage sometimes offered by a lender pays the difference between what you owe and market value. I got it for the first time in my life as the $175 could save me several thousand should I need it.
 
Sorry to hear about your misfortune but is sounds like it worked out for you and you got a fair price. I haven't checked incentives lately but seems there are many folks getting very close to invoice. We bought a Touring in mid-Sep and it was very difficult find the best bargain. Either they are high demand/scarce or dealers just think they can charge MSRP and wait.

Great Deal in Chicago by dcs777

I just purchased an '06 EXL-RES for $28,696 plus cross bars for $188 and mud guards for $105 plus tax, license, and doc fee $55. But, I can't take much credit as this price was advertized in the Chicago Tribune last Friday. After reading the posts of others, I jumped on the deal. Until I got my hands on the keys I was worried the deal was too good to be true. I did email 10 other Honda dealers in the area to see if they could beat the price and no one wanted to touch it. I asked them why the "fire sale" and they simply said it was a volume sales issue. They actually have the ad posted in the waiting room. So, check out Grand Honda. Good experience except that I took my trade-in elsewhere as they made a laughable offer. Oh, they also beat e-loan for financing and gave me 4.94% for 66 months.

06 ex-l res and nav (r&n)sf bay area by mrome

Thanks to this forum I was able to get a deal for 06 ody ex-l res/nav (r&n) for 400 over invoice. Most of sf bay area dealers wanted 2-4 k over invoice for sage brush pearl. I just wish i did the email strategy much sooner. I spent 2 hrs negotiating at tracy and they insisted on a purchase price of 35.5k and low balled my trade in by 2k. Manager said that there's no way i could get my offer of 600 over invoice for a exl r-n in anywhere in northern cal. sorry to burst his bubble but honda at livermore gave me a price of 33k while a dealer in sacramento area offered 32173 plus kbb value for my trade in. total out the door for 34995.

Dealer Trying To Sell These Options With 2006 LX by dyf
Nov 17, 2005 (7:56 pm)

I made it into the finance guy at the dealer after 9pm to have him present me with the following prepared packages to be added onto the cost of the LX: PREFERRED includes Hondacare -$1540, Vehicle Care -$520, Tire/Wheel Protection -$199, Gap Protection -$599, Appearance Protect -$695, Theft Protect -$329, Lojack -$695
 
VALUE: All the above except the Lojack
BASIC: All above except Lojack and Theft Protection
ECONOMY: All above except Lojack, Theft Protect, and Appearance Protection.
 
Do I need any of these?
 
I had anticipated purchasing the Hondacare at another dealership at a lower cost than the $1540 quoted but the finance guy said there has been a change since 9/1/05 where his warranty quote books considers a car used if the warranty is purchased after it leaves the lot and the warranty cost would then be higher.
