I'm about to get a new Odyssey. What is the lowest price?I'm in TN and they seem high here  Has anyone seen the black ones? Are they pretty? Also, do you pay monthly for navigation and the camera? Thanks! Kim

I've read on the forums where the Odyssey's aren't getting the mileage they say. What are they getting? I really wanted a Suburban but couldn't afford the gas although they can take the E85 gas which costs less and Honda can't. I'm thinking about the 2006 Odyssey EXL R&N. Are all the leather seats heated? If not I might go with cloth..LOL..thanks Kim

Replying to: animalrescue (Feb 21, 2006 10:46 pm) Samba2 has been doing a great job listing and updating prices paid for this model. The list is below (just for EXL R&N 34,595 MSRP 31,123 INVOICE 33,370 Edmunds TMV 32,473 Carsdirect-60014 32,173 Carsdirect-47129 32,073 Atlanta 32,029 NJ - FREE All weather floor mats 31,173 Cleaveland OH - Mike Pruitt Honda 31,120 Ohio - Honda of Mentor 31,073 Cleaveland OH - Mike Pruitt Honda 31,037 Chicago - Crystal Lake Honda 30,868 Cleaveland OH - Mike Pruitt Honda 30,729 Chicago - Crystal Lake Honda 30,600 Cleaveland OH - Mike Pruitt Honda I got mine from Mike Pruitt Honda for $30,868. I am having it shipped from Akron, OH to Norther Virginia ($300). I still save about $1500 - 2000 compared to the dealers here, which sells closer to MSRP. Black van looks very sharp, esp with Ivory Leather...but black scratches easy and is hard to maintain. That is why I chose the silver. Hope this helps.

Replying to: cds12 (Feb 21, 2006 9:12 am) 1) I can understand where a dealer typically does'nt want to be underpriced by another and lose a sale, but how competitive can I expect them to be when the selling price is below invoice (if I threaten to travel a few hours away to get a better deal - which I am not opposed to)? I assume that I will need something in writing/email from the other dealers in order to be taken seriously? 2) If it is commonplace to get an Odyssey for approx $500 under invoice, then is the 'invoice' cost we use as buyers really what the dealer pays, or is there usually some kind of cusion, that still makes selling the vehicle at this level feasible? Will the dealer actually lose money on the deal (in hopes of making it up on a subsequent customers)? Again, my apologies for some ignorant questions, but perhaps I am not the only one pondering over some of these things. Thanks again for this boards insights!

Replying to: chipsnsalsa (Feb 22, 2006 7:56 am) How competitive? Well let's see. If you are quoted a price under invoice, then the dealer will probably make no effort to bend or cave to a lower price. They will figure what they have to make in order for them to feel decent about doing the deal. Please understand that the Odyssey is a very seasonal product...and that season is coming upon us. Dealers will sell every Odyssey on their lots and that are inbound...irregardless whether you say you're going out of the area or not. I think that's something that most of you all don't realize. If it is commonplace to get an Odyssey for approx $500 under invoice, then is the 'invoice' cost we use as buyers really what the dealer pays, or is there usually some kind of cusion, that still makes selling the vehicle at this level feasible? Will the dealer actually lose money on the deal (in hopes of making it up on a subsequent customers)?" Do you just realize what you said? How would you feel if a dealer said that to you? Or if you heard a salesman next to you say to his customer? Anything at or below invoice is a very good price on an Odyssey. |

Replying to: jmurman42 (Feb 22, 2006 8:12 am) This is the reason for my questions. Do dealers still make money selling a unit below invoice? If not, then why do they do this? For a below invoice price to be considered the 'target range' for this vehicle, it must happen pretty often. What justification do I have to expect to buy an Odyssey at below invoice? Sure, I'll be driving a pretty vehicle around town, offering brand recognition and advertising the specific dealers sticker on the back, not to mention any word of mouth references. Is this what persuades a dealer to sell a vehicle below invoice even if they might be in the red on the deal? They can't do this for everyone. Unless Honda dealers get a 'bonus' from the manufacturer if they meet a sales quota for the month/quarter? "Do you just realize what you said? How would you feel if a dealer said that to you? Or if you heard a salesman next to you say to his customer?" Sounds like you work in the car business. No disrespect intended. Of course you wouldnt say something like that, but if the dealer does a deal that is not at all profitable, then they are probably thinking it... I am just trying to make sense of the whole below invoice thing. "Please understand that the Odyssey is a very seasonal product..." Does this mean that I should consider buying one now instead of waiting until June when my current lease expires? Thanks for your input. |
