Replying to: tom25 (Apr 15, 2005 7:43 pm) Best experience I've ever had. Went through their internet sales dept. Lightning fast response, beat every other emailed offer from a Houston Honda dealer by $500. But that's not all.... We'd gone in to buy one in March, but they couldn't get the color I wanted. But we weren't in that big of a hurry, so agreed to wait until this dealer got one in - they said 4 to 6 weeks. We had already agreed on a price that was about $300 under invoice. Last Thurs. I called to see if it was in, and they said it would be in the next day. "Oh, and by the way," he says, "I've dropped your price some because the invoice price has dropped." Not expecting much, I was still happily surprised. We go in Friday night to get the van, and ask him what the final price is.... He dropped the price $1000 from what we'd agreed to pay in late March. Now that's a good deal for a brand new Ody touring w/ Nav. If you are in the market for an Odyssey in the Houston area, check out Russell and Smith Honda through their internet sales dept. Best deal I could find, and a great experience overall.

Replying to: prarup (May 08, 2006 3:42 pm) - Email as many local Honda dealers as possible. Let them know you are serious and are looking for the best price on a Honda EX-L (you can either email them directly or through Honda.com. - Ask them to send a breakdown in costs and include ALL dealer fees. - Take the top two or three responses and then see which one gives you the best price. - When you go to the dealer, ensure that you bring the quote with you and that there are no additional fees. - Do not feel pressured to buy anything additional. You can always by extended warranties and accessories at a later date for much less (usually). - If you can wait until the end of month, some dealers are more willing to make a deal to move some inventory. - Invoice is a good benchmark as to how much you pay (you can find all the invoice prices here at Edmunds). You should be able to pay either under of close to invoice (including freight) for an 06 Odyssey. I definitely would not pay MSRP. I used this technique for my last three cars and have been very happy. The Odyssey EX-L I purchased one week ago (Hendrick Honda in Northern VA) I was able to buy at the end of the month for $590 under invoice (including freight). Good luck!

I want to share my purchasing experience getting an EX-L, since others doing so on this board was extremely helpful in our process. We purchased from Holmes Automotive in Des Moines, IA and they were great! I had submitted a few requests for bids, and gotten back numerous prices. The dealers here in Omaha, NE weren't coming down much, and so going a few miles down the road to save $1,000 looked like a good deal. The folks at Holmes basically asked what price they needed to "earn my business". I told them if they could do $27,500 we'd have a deal. That was it. They matched a doc fee of $50 from another dealer. When we got to the dealership there were no games or hidden items. We were literally in and out in less than an hour! Final price, $27,550 plus TTL. I would also highly recommend the Consumer Reports service. For $40, you get a 3 month subscription, which we easily made up for in the purchase. Getting quotes from online was also really helpful. The quotes from the local dealers weren't great. I'm guessing this is partially because they had my zip code and wanted to get me to come in. Well, good luck to everyone ready to make a purchase. The vehicle is great. Thanks again to everyone who posts on this board with helpful information.

Replying to: dc_driver (May 08, 2006 8:09 pm) Price : $30,200 + Tax + DMV Color : Slate Green with Olive OTD : $33,008. Looks like you can get great deals for Odyssey now in the bay area. Im sure we will see under $30K deals for this model in 2 weeks. Happy Hunting !! |
