Coming off our current lease in May and getting a head start on our next minivan... I'm still on the fence as to whether or not we'll go with the Sienna of Honda but, in reviewing these postings, it appears that the price can differ dramatically depending upon WHERE you buy the car? We're leaning toward the EX-L... in which neck of the woods should we solicit dealers? The more recent postings seem to favor Chicago & Ohio....? ...would appreciate any feedback - Thanks! |

Any suggestions for someone who is about to close a deal? I've been asking dealers for out-the-door prices (including accessories, warranty, tax, tags etc.), but I still get the uneasy feeling (with some dealers) that they may have some last-minute "stunts" waiting for me. Any dealer "gotchas" to look out for -- like only one set of keys, a virtually empty gas tank etc.? Thanks.

Replying to: sec2 (Jan 18, 2006 5:04 pm) Those that are upfront on price are (at least in my experience) very unlikely to pull any last minute stunts. That said, I don't think any Honda store would engage in your illustrations - they take their customer sales satisfication scores very seriously. The key question to be answered when getting OTD quotes is whether the quotes number includes EVERYTHING - vehicle, dealer/processing fee (if any), accessories, extended warranty, taxes, and plates. |

Replying to: sec2 (Jan 16, 2006 4:43 pm) I did pay $35,500 for the Touring/NAV/DVD from Faulkner. This was the price of this well equipped vehicle only. Your quote is higher because you are adding on dealer accessories. If you look at the breakdown, you are probably being quoted ~$35,500 PLUS the cost of the additional items (cargo mats, floor mats, fenderwell trim,etc.) Personally, I did get the all-season mats for about $200...roughly MSRP...they offered no favors to me there. Also, I did purchase a HondaCare EW for $746. And I got a PA temporary tag through Faulkner ($45) so I could drive the vehicle home and register it in my home state. So in the end it was actually $36,491 for my vehicle. But in order to keep it an apples to apples comparison, I just quoted the price for the actual vehicle transaction without the accessories, which seem to be considered "after market, after the deal" items in the custom of this forum. Registration fees, sales taxes,etc. are also specific to the individual and their home state, and so shouldn't be considered in comparing quotes from posters here. Also, the Touring model steering wheel is already wrapped in leather...no need for a steering wheel cover...it's already been placed at the factory. By the way, I saw your post where you had expressed some trepidation about last minute "dealer gotchas"....you may see this in the DC/NOVA/MD area....but this will not occur with Faulker...look to my earlier post back in November in which I describe my buying experience. There were multiple opportunities for Faulkner to play games and spring surprises on me....but they were good to their word. If you agree to something with them on the phone, you will find that their word is as good as gold when you get there. |
