You do know that it only take several hours drive from Chicago to PA, right? Sometimes you could easily save 1000-2000 for that trip. Most important, the Internet department of some dealership from remote states are much better than your local ones and are proved by many ppl here.

I am always just amazed at the trouble and psin some people will put themselves through just to "save" or try to save a lousy buck...sorry.
And then they complain about the treatment they received when they got to the store with the "best" price!

I agree 100%. I'm here just to get an idea of what I might expect to pay, not to find the one dealer in the country that has the cheapest prices.
You need to consider what your time is worth ... in my case, no way will I drive from the Twin Cities to Chicago to save $1000. A 6 hour drive both ways means that I'd be saving $83 for each hour in the car, which isn't worth it in my mind. Not to mention the additional miles I'd put on the car getting to / from the dealer.

It really isn't. There are some people who just can't bear the thought that someone else just may have paid less than they did.
And, I have to really bite my tongue when I read some of these "Prices Paid" that I know just didn't happen.
Life is short...

I'm not sure if you were writing in response to my posting, but for me it was no trouble to email ten dealers within a fifty mile radius and simply take the best price and buy the van. I did not play any dealer against each other and the service was great. I assume that most people are here trying to get the best deal they possibly can get. The dealerships are certainly trying to make the most money that they can make off the customers. The price difference between the various quotes that I received was nearly $2000. That may not matter to some people here but for the working class guy like me $2000 is a lot of money.

I disagree, with isellhondas. Sounds like you are a dealership that is feeling pinched by competition. Everyone is different and value their time differently. I live in DC and saved $2000+ (compared to the Edmund's TMV)just by sending 7 emails and 3 phone calls. I was ready to drive several hours but didn't have to, my local dealer matched the out of state price. In my case it truly happened. Thanks to Edmunds and everyone who post their prices, competition is truly working here.

I was the one with the quote for $29,478; I back out and did more research. I too found Mike Pruitt Honda. He gave a quote of $30,743 for EX-L with RES/Nav. We are signing the papers today. Out the door without my Virginia state tax was $30,868. Great to work with. He has two more Odyssey left. Also, it was only $300 to ship from Ohio to Virginia. With the $31,xxx price, I still save over $2000 from DC/MD/VA prices. Actually, some still pay full MSRP price here in this area.
Also, the internet manager says they have about 80 different Odyssey models now...so I'm sure he is willing to cut you a great deal like mine.
