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: 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.

Replying to: isellhondas (May 11, 2006 6:29 am) Most overhead isn't directly attributable to each unit the dealer sells... Those are big numbers that are spread over the entire inventory... The more the dealer sells, the lower the overhead for each individual unit, but it isn't a dollar for dollar amount... and, other than the dealer, no one probably knows exactly what that number is. However, holdback is a specific amount the dealer receives for each vehicle... He sells more, his revenue from holdback goes up an equal/proportionate amount.. and, it is an easy number to calculate.. Any per unit amount the dealer receives increases his revenue and profit. As consumers, that information is beneficial when negotiating a price. When someone wonders how a dealer can sell below invoice? many times, holdback is the answer.. regards, kyfdx |

Replying to: isellhondas (May 11, 2006 6:29 am) Dealers in this area add to the bottom line profit by the " NOT SO LITTLE item called "Documentary Fees" that now range from $ 249 to $ 399 per vehicle.
