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 5:09 pm)  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

Replying to: tom477 (May 09, 2006 3:59 pm) Your price is good. If it includes freight it is a little more than $200 under invoice. Not bad. You could try to wait until the end of the month. The great thing about VA is we have a 3.17% tax on vehicles. I was also able to get 5.7% financing through Honda (same rate as my local credit union). BTW, I love the Nighthawk Black. It looks really good. I just traded in a black car and decided to get a differnet color since it is so hard to keep clean. Good luck! |

Replying to: pjsjr (Apr 26, 2006 7:17 pm) Did you guys buy yet? Where did you wind up? How much did you pay? I have always found Schaller in New Britain to be good to deal with but I am open to new dealerships if the price and service are right. I am looking for a 2006 EX-L without RES and NAV. Thanks for your help.

Folks, I picked up a Odyssey EX-L from Russell and Smith Honda in Houston this morning. It is Slate Green with Olive interior and is just beautiful! The ride is unbelievable and had a lot of fun playing some good CDs on the drive back home. Paid $27,235+TTL. Total drive out price was $29,182.55. About $1025 below invoice. Not bad for a Honda! We had agreed on a price that was $925 below invoice. They also applied the $100 internet coupon I took from their website. The buying experience was awesome. Russell and Smith folks were fantastic and no pressure to add on anything else. Got a decent APR (5.85% for 3/36) and was very happy with the service. I will definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thanks to all on this forum for the excellent feedback. If not for this forum, I would have ended up paying $1500 more. Special thanks to DC_GUY for the excellent commentary and feedback, and also to CUONG for the Russell & Smith recommendation and the $100 internet coupon tip. Now its time to enjoy my new Odyssey!
