Just bought my wife a slate green/olive EX-L in New York for $27358. I added fog lights and an iPod connector for a total of $28136 plus TT&L. I tried to get all season mats, a cargo tray, and splash guards, too...but they would have cost extra. I am going to buy those at H and A for less than $200. My OTD was $30750. A lot of dealers I talked with said this was a great deal and they wouldn't match it. It took me about a week to negotiate this price by calling A LOT of dealers. I am happy with it. What a terrific car.

Hello All -- I am new to this forum and I need your expert advise here. I live in the Northern VA and I am looking for a 2006 Odssey Touring (with Nav and Rear Entertainment System). I found a dealer in NJ who is willing to sell me one at Invoice price ($34,898) + Destination ($550). Total sale price will be $35,448 + VA Tax/Regsitration. I would like to get your opinion if this is a good deal or should I negotiate something below the invoice? Please advise... |

Replying to: sf_guy (May 09, 2006 11:11 am) Price : $30,200 + Tax + DMV Color : Slate Green with Olive OTD : $33,008. That is a very good deal especially for SF area. I didn't try San Leandro Honda when I shopped for mine. You got it for $1k less than I did. Nice.

Replying to: vchepur (May 10, 2006 7:57 pm) Hendrick sold me an EX-L for roughly $600 UNDER invoice at the end of April. Let them know about your deal in NJ, I'd be surprised if they did not beat that offer (plus that saves you a trip to NJ). I think you can get under invoice if you try hard enough. Also, buying at the end of the month tends to help. Again, I definitely encourage you to contact Hendrick's Internet department (calling them got me an even better price than the email quote I originally received). |

Replying to: isellhondas (May 11, 2006 6:29 am) "But remember, at the end of the day, the dealer needs to pay the bills, pay his employees, and put food on the table...." I was simply trying to explain why some dealers are able to sell vehicles under invoice if there are not any rebates or incentives available to the consumer. But I am going to be honest here. I do not feel bad at all for the dealer that I bought my Odyssey under invoice. The dealer will easily make $2K+ off my trade-in, and I will have my Odyssey serviced at that dealership as well. In addition, I have two friends and co-workers that have since purchased Hondas from this dealership becasue of word of mouth. Just two years ago in Northern VA, folks were paying $1-2K OVER MSRP for Odysseys and were getting the runaround from dealers. I experienced this from a Honda dealer as well when I was looking at the current generation CRV when it first came out. Several local dealers that I went to wanted $1500 over MSRP. This is the way it goes. There are many worthy competitors (06 Kia/Hyundai, Sienna, future DCX van coming next year) in the minivan market right now, and Honda dealers are no longer in a position to sell the Odyssey above MSRP.
