I posted a while back that my neighbor bought the 2006 Odyssey EXL-RES for 30315 OTD (base of 28900), no extras, from Goldsboro, NC. No dealer in Raleigh would match him(they offered 29100). I then tried another dealer within 50 miles and was quoted 29613 OTD. Next I called dealers in Greenville and Wilson, no matching offer was to be made. The Cary dealer told me that he could not match this price with a 10 foot pole. I was not yet satisfied, so I tried one more dealer. He quoted me OTD of 29206.25. Not only that, but he said he would locate any color combination that I wanted for that price with no locator fee (waive $150), guaranteed until September 5th. Well, I will post this dealer's location after I go in and actually purchase this vehicle. We did not break down the components of the price into base, destination, doc fees, tax(3%), tags($74), but this price blows away every other quote I have received to date. I hope to post our buying numbers soon, after our purchase is made. I am also going to search for one of those 8/120k/0 deduct extended warranties(I have read $1250 price quote). I will porbably also make use of Honda's 4.9% financing for 60 months, which he said would be available at this price, bringing our monthly payments to about $549 with 0 down.

Hello, I am looking at 2006 LX and EX models in Austin, TX/San Antonio. I see in quite some dealer websites that some clearance sale is going on etc. In case some one has bought/enquired about LX or EX models in this region, may I know what may be a good price to ask (including taxes, destination fee etc). Also, is around $1200 for 8yr/120k/$0 a good price on warranty. Thanks Siva |

Dealer agrees to 1400 below invoice - but said have to sell a 399 protection package (wheel locks, mud guards and cargo holders, etc). Is this good?

Replying to: icare (Aug 22, 2006 3:01 pm) They know that if you leave you wont come back and they need to get rid of all inventory as fast as they can so that they can get higher prices for the new stuff coming in. If they don't give you the price that you are looking for use their price to play the other dealership that you were working with originally. Good luck let me know if you have any questions!

I just got back from Goodson Honda, and was wondering if anyone can recommend another Honda dealer in Houston. Goodson 's deal on an 2006 EX-L RES was $29,200 (before taxes and fees) PLUS $850 for a protection package. I walked out the door with the protection package still in the deal and they didn't stop me. I am guessing there are better deals to be found around here. Anyone have a better experience in the Houston area recently?

I have to disagree with lumpy71 about having to show up at the dealership to find the best price. I have called 8 dealerships on the phone and found that the majority of them will not deal with you on the phone, however, some will. As I have previously spoken about, the Raleigh dealerships will sell the EXL RES for about 30420 OTD. Goldsboro sold the same vehicle to my neighbor for 30315 OTD. I called Greenville and Wilson with no luck at beating this price. Then I tried Burlington(45 miles away) on the phone and got 29613 OTD. I called Cary next and they said they wouldn't touch that price with a 10 foot pole. I didn't bother asking the price at Durham, because I heard they wouldn't match that price. Then I called Sanford and they called me back with 29206.25 OTD guaranteed until Sept 5th, with 4.9% for 60 months. Not only that, but they will locate any color combination of EXL RES that I want, that they can find, and waive the $150 locator and transfer fee. All done over the phone. Check with those who have purchased this vehicle, and I am sure they will agree this is a very good price. MSRP on this vehicle is about 32395 I think. I was previously told by another poster (dtownfb)in this forum that it is best if you decide which vehicle you want to purchase, and then stick with that one and bid on the vehicles that the same brand dealers have in inventory. Well....my next plan was to see if I could bid apples against oranges. I called one Nissan dealer and quoted my Odyssey price with the features to see if he would beat that price. He quoted me a vehicle with MSRP of 33995 for 29324 OTD and would try to beat the 4.9% APR on 60 months, which would likely put him under our $549/month payment on the similarly equiped Odyssey. I honestly thought that the Nissan was a better handling van, but it also had its cons. I also am not so sure this is such a great deal since they seem to be pushing harder to get rid of the 2006 Nissan Quests, than Honda is to get rid of the 2006 Odysseys. For this reason, I think Nissan can do much better if I keep at it. Our first choice would be to buy the Toyota Sienna if they can give us all our desired features (leather, DVD, power seats, power doors, sunroof, vehicle stability control) for the same ball park figure. The verdict is out at this moment, since what I think is the dealer most willing to negotiate, is calling me tomorrow with numbers. But I think they can possibly make a competing offer since Toyota is offering 1.9% for 60 months. What this means is that I can afford to pay 31447 OTD(Sienna) at 1.9% and pay the exact same price as 29206 OTD(Odyssey) at 4.9%(549.82/month). And Toyota will hold its value slightly better, while starting at a higher MSPR. I will weigh their offer with like features against retail and wholesale to see if I have taken apples and oranges and turned them into apples and apples. This has actually been a very enjoyable activity for a statistician over the last 3 weeks. |

Replying to: icare (Aug 22, 2006 5:29 pm) Remember this $30,000 is a lot of money and trust me the sales man is not mad at all. They are totally playing a game with you. You are in control.
