EX-L RES Pricing in Charlotte, NC by wrpinnc
Aug 15, 2006 (11:21 am)

I just purchased mine at Crown Honda priced as follows:
 
Van 28,015
Dest. 550
Mud flaps/locks 248
Proc/del fee 399
                -----
Subtotal 29,212 this is before tax of $609, trade of $8,500, and lic/title fee of $68.
 
My subtotal was $644 less than invoice of 29,856 (I had two dealers give me this invoice amount which does not match Edmunds?). I feel this is an OK deal. Hendrick Honda said they would match it to keep my business, Honda of Lake Norman would match, Honda of Concord, and Honda of Rock Hill would not quote over the phone or internet.
 
I traded a rough 2001 ody ex with 92,000 miles on it. Carmax offered to buy it for $6,500. After that shocker I happily accepted Crown's trade in allowance of $8,500.
 
While I bought at Crown, I would encourage Honda shoppers in this area to try Honda of Lake Norman. When you mention to other dealers that you received a quote from Lake Norman they get noticeably nervous. It is probably because they are new dealership and are trying to get their numbers up.

Hi I am interested in buying Odyssey LX 2006 model; most dealers in Orange County, Cal are only to go down to invoice and -$400.
Rock Honda promised to go $500 below invoice.
 
Can you tell me where did you purchase yours?
 
Thanks

Yes, me too. The best quote I had was $31610 OTD for a 2006 Odyssey EX-L. I am so tired of these unreasonable quotes. So I bought an one-way ticket to buy it from Bay area. My final cost is
 
$28,970 (dealer's OTD price)
$ 85 (one way ticket)
$ 90 (gas)
$ 133 (registration and use tax in WA state)
 
Total: $29278
 
$31610 - $29278 = $2332.
 
Being a one-way driver for a day saved me $2332. Hope this helps.

I have been shopping around ALOT in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida for EX-L RES in Sage Brush Pearl with Ivory leather. I finally got a great quote today, and it was from an internet dealer that called me and did NOT quote my via email. Here is my breakdown:
 
Van $28352
Dest $550
Mud Guards/cargo tray/wheel locks, splash guards tire valve monitors, moonroof visors
                    $708
Reverse Sensing FREE
Dealer fee $495
 
Subtotal $30105
 
Theft Protection $199 (my choice)(at cost)
Tax/Title/Reg $164 for 2 years
No tax because registering in Oregon (military)
Florida fees $119
 
Out the door price $30587
 
Invoice was $29,741 without any options.
 
I got my reverse sensing for free because I was told the vehicle had it, and I assumed that was in the cost. When I got there and looked at the van, it didn't have it! So, they are installing it for free on Saturday, giving me a loaner for the day, and refilling my tank back up with gas. If you figured in the cost of the reverse sensing, my starting price before options would be $27,753. I think I got a pretty good deal!
 
Invoice was quoted at $29741 without any dealer options added on.

ex-l price paid, Las vegas buyers drive to So. Cal by canadianexpert

I just bought one from Riverside honda #2 honda dealer the country by sales volume. I live in las vegas and the 3 honda dealers would not go below 28250 before taxes and fees.
 
riverside price
 
$26768 dest included.
tax was 7.75 same as vegas
45 for a one way pass to drive to vegas.
doc was $45
Tire fee was 8.75
otd was 28944.75
 
Drove to riverside and arrived at 9:20 am sunday morning. I test drove the ocean mist van and was out the door by noon. Definately worth the drive to So. Cal. the dealers in Las vegas could not believe the price and would not even come close to matching the price. My savings were $1500 because all vegas dealers charge 399 or more for doc fees. I know I've seen a few lower quotes 26400-26500 but this was all negotiated through email and the process was quick and easy.

EX-L price paid, Seattle buyer bought from No. Cal dealer. by bystander6

I bought a 2006 Slate Green EX-L from San Francisco Honda on July 29. The lowest price I can get in Seattle Area was $31600 OTD for a 2006 Odyssey EX-L. I am so tired of these unreasonable quotes. So I bought an one-way ticket to buy it from Bay area. My final cost is
  
$28,907 (dealer's OTD price)
$ 85 (one way ticket)
$ 90 (gas)
$ 133 (registration and use tax in WA state)
  
Total: $29215
  
Total saved $31600 - $29215 = $2385.
  
Arrived at dealer around 11am. Dealer had no experience dealing with out of state buyer. So it took a while to figure everything out. The good thing is that there was no hard selling. The internet manager and finance manager were both staightforward and professional. I highly recommend San Francisco Honda. The car was just off from the deliver truck and had 9 miles on it. After all the cleanups for the car, I was out of the dealer at around 4PM. I then stayed at my relative's home and then drove back home next morning.
 
The driving was very smooth and I was enjoying the driving and did not feel tired at all. I would have driven all the way home if I were not hungry. I got about 25mpg. I heard new car's initial gas mileage is lower so I am pretty happy about this car so far.
 
Being an one-way driver from San Francisco to Seattle saved me $2385. I think it is well worth it.

I bought my LX for about a $1,000 below invoice. They have a $500 manufacturer to dealer incentive and a 3% hold back.

Haven't inked the deal yet(going in this Sat.), but have negotiated 26,895 for an '06EXL. Thanks to Rusch's advice. Our salesman said that mudguards are already installed so he would sell it at cost for $85 total bringing the cost of the van to 26,980. Did I do okay? They won't hit me with other costs once I get there, will they?
 
EXL
$26,895 van
$85 mud guards (parts and labor included)
$2,2917 Tax (could be off a few $)
$57.33 Doc fee
$143 Lic.
$29,476.56 out the door.
 
Did you buy the ext. warranty from them or through another source like the Hondacareguy people have mentioned in their other posts? Advice on letting them do the trade in or have CarMax do it?

Congrats! I LOVE my new car!!! But as far as the extended warranty we went through hondacare. It was cheaper. As for the trade in I went to KBB and printed out what my car was worth and we should them that print out too. (As you can see I walked in with a folder full of paper!) we got them with in $500. If you have time it couldn't hurt to go to carmax and see what they will give you too. That way you're armed w/ a few ideas of what your car is worth. Also. if your going on Sat. Go early. We were there to pick our van up 9:30. There were 2 people ahead of us to meet with the finance guy. But all in all it went pretty fast. We brought our kids with, too. Thank God for the McDonalds next door!
