I was told the price is special for the one on the lot for a longer time. I am not sure they will honor other EX-L at that price or not. Depends on the inventory. But I was quoted a EX-L w/DVD for $27,796.25 at same time , it is a midnight blue. I think that one maybe still available. You can try it.
 
Also I do not think only one speical saleperson can give you that price since I sent quote request through their website w/o any saleperson's name.
 
Good luck!

Here is what I recommend. Walking into the dealer does not always result in walking out with the best price. I recommend the following:
- 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!

EX-L purchasing experience by dkuyper

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.

Congrats on your van! Looks like you got a great deal as well. What color is your van?
 
You will love this van, I find myself coming up with excuses to drive it even though it is my wife's vehicle...

Agree that a person will love their Odyssey. After owning a minivan, I can not understand why anyone would want to buy another type vehicle. The Odyssey is a very satisfying vehicle to drive.

are you saying that you got the car for 590.00 under invoice plus the 550 freight charge for a total of 1140.00 under invoice? Now that's what I call a deal..I just walked into a dealer today and was quoted 28017.00 plus TTL which would be over 30k..our sales tax in NY is 8.625%...If I could get the same deal as you I would buy asap....am looking for the dark blue or black EX-L...it's for my wife's birthday in July..every grand you save is 19.00 a month
