Re: How to justify less than invoice price? [chipsnsalsa] by tommister2

An Internet sales person at a Honda dealer I buy from told me they let her sell below invoice just to move units. The more units they sell the more they can get next month, and the more choice they get. I assume the dealer gets bonuses on the number of units moved per month/quarter/year as well.
 
This seems to make sense to me. Internet sales people are either salaried or paid on a volume basis, not paid a comission of the sale (I think I read that here somewhere).
 
Hope this helps, Tom

This is the reason for my questions. Do dealers still make money selling a unit below invoice?
 
Yes we do.
 
Sounds like you work in the car business. No disrespect intended.
 
I run the Internet Dept for a pretty large honda dealership and have 5 Salesmen that are in my dept. We (our dealership) average about 185 cars per month, some months more some months less.
 
No disprespect taken.
 
Does this mean that I should consider buying one now instead of waiting until June when my current lease expires?
 
Now you have dipped into a completely different area. From what I gather you have three payments left on your current lease, right? March, April and May. What I would do is this. I would start by approaching different dealerships in your immediate area through their Internet Depts. Make a contact with someone there and set up a time when you can have your car appraised. Let him/her know that you have 3 months left on the lease and that you want to buy an Odyssey at the time your lease is up. Tell them that you want to buy the Ody at invoice or slightly less and the color you want. If they don't have it in stock they might have one inbound or closer to the time when your lease is up. At this point you can reserve the unit for yourself with a deposit, and go about your life until the Ody arrives. We do this all the time here.
 
Good luck, they are GREAT cars!

I'm in TN. Is there anyone near Nashville that sells for low price? The lowest quote I've gotten is $32,773 (possibly $32,173) for EXL R& N. Thanks Kim

Kim,
 
I spoke with Internet Sales from Mike Pruitt Honda in Akron, OH. He could easily beat that price. I purchase mine for $30,743 (including destination charges) + $100 DOC Fees and $25.25 temp tags. It was $300 to ship from Ohio to Virginia. He has a two left if you are interested (I believe Midnight Blue and Redrock Pearl. If you call them, make sure you ask for Internet Sales.

do more research into the vehicle before discussing pricing. I suggest getting a professional demo of the vehicle from the most reputable dealership in your area before coming on here and talking price.

There is no monthly fee associated with the navigation system. You also get XM radio with the R&N model. The first 3 months of radio service is free, then you have to pay or cancel.
 
Black is very pretty and very hard to keep clean.
 
See other recent posts for Tennessee pricing. Excellent prices are available in Ohio.

What is the invoice on this vehicle? I really want black with grey leather. I've been told you can't get that and don't won't the ivory with children. What's the best anyone has found this for? Thanks Kim

2006 invoice on EXL with R&N lowest/Will/Bill by animalrescue

I was told invoice is 31,674on the EXL R&N. It says someplace on here it is less though. Does anyone know? I've got one dealer down to the 31,674 but now might need to change to touring. Is it worth the extra money? Resell wise will it hold value of the difference? How do some of you get the dealers under invoice $500..I've called Akron Ohio..thanks Will!Bill I have seen the vehicles and just decided about the navigation...thanks Kim

Done Deal for 06 Honda Odyssey EX-Leather w/ Entertainment!!! by sjsaz

I just had to chime in here to mention that My Wife & I are the proud owners of an 06 Honda Odyssey EX-Leather w/ Entertainment!!!
 
It is the Desert Rock Metallic Color w/ Ivory Leather. We had USAA Finance & Negotiate the deal on Tuesday. USAA also includes the GAP Coverage in their financing.
 
We went down to Honda Cars of Mesa, in Mesa, AZ Today, to finalize everything. Our Sales Rep was WONDERFUL!!! He was a Fleet Mgr.
 
We ended up paying $31,577 OTD. This includes the 2nd-Row Center Storage Console, the Silencer Security System, & the 5yr/100k/0Ded HondaCare Extended Warranty. (I am thankful to the www.hondawarrantyinfo.com link that floats around Edmunds.com. The F&I Guy agreed to match that price on the Warranty, & he advised that this was pretty much under-cost for the HondaCare Warranty.)
 
I had a Trade-In that I was hoping to get about $3,750 for. (I arrived that figure by averaging what my Trade-In was worth as per KBB, NADA, & Edmunds.com. My Dealer didn't seem all that interested in taking it, but I pressed the issue.
 
He obviously mentioned it'd be to my advantage to sell it myself, but I haven't the time or the inclination to do so. I knew that there was going to need to be some work done in the near future on this Trade-In. That paired w/ the Dealer saying that the clutch would need some work done too. W/ all this said & done, he offered $3,000, & I took it. The little more I could've made selling privately would have ate into the proceeds, so I accepted that offer.
 
Anyways, I feel I got a good deal, but I'd like to see what you all think!!! Thanks!!!

Invoice on Odyssey EXL with Nav/RES by wwdcatc
Feb 23, 2006 (4:58 am)

Kim.
 
The invoice according to Edmunds Website including destination charges is $31,623. I think I misquoted it earlier in a post. My mistake.
 
I was also quoted a Touring with Nav/Res from Mike Pruitt Honda for around $34,xxx. I can't remember exactly what the xxx was, but I believe it was closer to between $34,100 and $34,200. At the time of my posting about a week again, they only had two left and they wanted to move them.
 
You can call them again to see if they have new stock.
