Hi Everyone, I got a quote of 22860 + fees for an LX in the bay area with the standard options only. Does it look reasonable ? Thanks, |

Came home yesterday with an EX-L from Tempe Honda. Price was $28258 (invoice) and OTD was $31410. Taxes, registration, and doc fees are high here in AZ. That did include splash guards, door edge guards, and window tint. No trade. We had already test driven at Honda Cars of Mesa, which also treated us exceptionally well. They had given us a nearly identical offer but when it came time to decide they didn't have the car in stock, and we decided not to wait. After test driving and making up our minds what we wanted, we emailed six dealers and after some persistence got four legitimate offers. We dealt with them completely by phone and email, and only spent about 1-1/2 hours at the dealer doing a final test drive, paperwork, and making sure we knew how to operate the features. Excellent experience. Lot's of Odysseys to choose from right now in AZ. Thanks to all the other posters who helped us make informed negotiations  .

I would visit the lowest one first and see what they can do. btw, there is one dealer that says they will beat other's offer by $100. Their OTD quote is $636 more than the lowest OTD. Do you think they will still do the business by beating that by $100?

Replying to: java28 (Apr 12, 2006 1:12 pm) I had a similar promise from the dealer I purchased from "to beat - not just meet - the lowest offered price." With that in hand, I decided to visit them only after I first visited the dealer closest to my house. I think doing that gave more credence to my discussions with the second dealer, since I had maintained I would purchase that day only if I could meet my price target (which was $500 lower than my lowest email quote, and to match my trade-in offer I'd received from Carmax). Otherwise I was willing to wait. I suspect in a market with lots of Honda competition, they'd rather not see you walk off the lot. Good luck, and send me half the money you save. |

Well, my wife and I - faced with a $2,200 repair bill on her '98 Malibu - are going to go hunting for an Ody this evening. We're going to look for a Touring with RES/Nav, in green, and we've got a AAA certificate that's supposed to guarantee $1,000 below MSRP at Bill Page Honda in Falls Church, VA. Does anyone have any experience with that dealership? Does anyone think we can do better on the price without going out of Northern VA?
