EXL-RES in Birmingham, Alabama by dwilli01

I have received two quotes so far $30,475 & $31,182 out the door for an 06 Ody EXL-RES. Both quotes were solicited via the web. I am hoping to strike a deal at $29,600 out the door - is that a reasonable expectation? Any input would be appreciated as well as tips on negotiating.
 
Thanks

I spent 3-4 weeks searching for the right price to purchase my EXL RES. My neighbor purchased one from the dealership in Goldsboro for 30315. This was the cheapest price I have heard of for purchase so far. I called 8 dealers and most were at about 30,500. Two were willing to work with the price of 30215. I also negotiated to ability to purchase vehicle options at cost from the dealership. We have purchased the vehicle, and purchased the mud flaps installed for 120. We will probably add the cargo mat and a cover for the storage well. The interesting thing was that one dealer was semi-rude, telling me I would have to take my business elswhere. The dealership I purchased from made an inventory trade with this same dealership so that I could purchase the vehicle at the same offering price that I made to the rude dealership. My wife wants me to drive the vehicle over to this dealership and show them that I got the van at my price, but I will let a cooler attitude prevail and just enjoy the fantastic new vehicle that we now own.
 
I think the price of 30215 after tax/tags/fees is about as cheap as I could have gotten it. Final monthly payment at 4.9% APR with 0 down is 568.
 
They offered me several warrenty/service/price protection packages (4 i think). He gave me the cost of the first package. It would raise my monthly payment to 678. Ok, that is an increase of 110 for 60 months... for a total of $6600. I wonder how many people fall for this tactic? I said, "ok, the first one is $6600, the second is $3600, the third is $3000". His eyebrows raised when he saw that I understood what he was doing and he stopped the hard push on those items. His warrenty with $100 deductable was $1440 for 5 years and 100,000 miles. Warrenty Direct will provide 7 year/100,000 miles with $100 deductable for $814. This is not bumper to bumper, but if you read what is and is not covered, it is well worth it. I don't think his was bumper to bumper either, but rather, most likely major repair items. Price protection/service/warrenties are about 60% profit to the finance department guys. Don't give it to them.

Thanks to everyone for the info, here is what I ended up purchasing from Gillman Honda of Ft. Bend.
 
2006 EX-L RES for $29,200 (before TT&L) + $1200 for 7yr/100k $0 ded. extended warranty. This was the price quoted through email, using hondacars.com dealer referral form. There were no shenanigans when I got there, just test drove then filled out the finance form for the 4.9% deal. Could only have gone smoother if the finance guy didn't try to hard sell his wares, but I guess he has to eat too.
 
Thanks Again!

There's no way to know if $29.6 OTD is doable as taxes, etc., vary widely from state to state. Since you'll have to pay those costs (whatever they are) regardless of where you buy, it's better to focus on price alone.

Orange County, CA 2006 Odessy EXL Price by usctrojans

Just got my oddessy yesterday. got a great price and financing plan. Paid $26,800 + ttl for a silver 2006 EXL. Got wheel locks and mudguards too from Santa Ana Honda. No B.S. whatsoever, so I told them I'd sing their praises.
 
The internet manager also said that they also have a few 2006 Pilots at unreal discounts. I wanted one, so I hope this helps somebody. This message board is great. It really helped me cut through all the B.S.
 
Earlier, I got the run-around from Fladboe Honda in Irvine, so I wouldn't recommend going there.

Hi Pete3721,
  
All went well! Arrived at 10:30 out by 2:30. Our salesman was very accommodating. Price was as we agreed to over the phone, $26,895 for a Desert Rock EXL(would've liked Silver Pearl but none in stock). We live in Chicago proper so it was a bit of a drive, but they were able to save us 1/2% in
tax because they are registered with Cook County. They did manage to talk us into the ext. clear coat and int. leather+ rug, but we negotiated heavily to get the best price. Not sure if I would have bought it now, but they gave what I thought was a good deal. Also took advantage of the 4.9% finance so good deal overall. Here it is.
  
'06 Odyssey EXL
26,895 (incl. dest)
$85.00 mudguards
$1250 8/120/0
$197 title+lic.
$1550 IL state tax
$450ish Cook County and Chicago tax
$30,000 give or take before the dents/ding, tire, VIN etching, and ext. clear coat protection and int. leather/vinyl/rug protection was added. If you decide
not to do the protection packages, you may want to reconsider the VIN etching b/c our insurance agent said it saved us 5% on our premium.
   
If they don't give you a good deal on the extended warranty then you may want to try the hondacareguy that has been mentioned in other people's posts from Mike Pruitt Honda in Akron, OH who gave us the original quote for the warranty. He gave a wealth of info. and was easy to deal with. Since
Brilliance was able to meet the same deal, the hondacareguy suggested to use them. What an honest guy, would have bought from him if Brilliance didn't match!
  
Good luck! What color are you going with?

Hi brennanbills!
 
Thank you for the details! I got a similiar offer over the phone and will deal with them soon. I actually prefer a desert rock color, but they do not have that at this time. What they have in stock is a white and a red.
 
Glad that they will match the warranty price. I will probably get that too..
 
4 hours is a bit long for the paper work, but it's a good deal
 
Enjoy your new van!

I just bought an EX-L RES in Asheboro for 27,900 + ttt. Out the door was 29,200. Plus it had splash guards, wheels locks, and moon roof deflector already installed. I feel like we got a great deal. Depends on how much more I read...has anyone else gotten a better deal in NC???????

Can one expect same deals for 2007's? by caravan2
Aug 26, 2006 (7:00 pm)

I saw the EX-L $26898 while invoice price is $28303. This is $1405 below invoice.
 
Is this normal or is this because they're trying clear 2006's?
 
When are 2007's coming in show rooms? Are the prices same or going up?
 
Thanks,
