Thanks for the quick response. Am originally from Clinton, MS. Will check into it on my next trip down.
If anyone knows of any in the immediate Memphis area that would be ideal! I have a lead on one, and will accept all the tips I can get.


Thanks again!

Prices for Long Beach, Ca by srcd00

I am very interested in the '01 Ody EX but have been very discouraged with the pricing I am finding. On Saturday I was looking at the new Silver EX model with the standard features/options. Long Beach Honda was posting MSRP $26,840 plus an additional $2,000 mark-up!! From what I've seen the invoice is 24K +/-. Is it possible to buy at invoice? I hear people buying cars all the time for invoice. Is the 2K upcharge too high or is this standard. They told me the upcharge was because they were in hot demand, they even said if I didn't buy this week-end (last day of Sept) the upcharge was probably going up to 3K next month. Should I be paying standard MSRP (26,840)? Anybody in LA or Orange county bought lately?

All,


Just dropped off my 98 Gr Caravan for the 3rd time
in 2 months for transmission work. This was the last straw. You would think I could get more than
30k miles for a brand new transmission. Well that's the final straw.


I'm looking of an LX fast! Some of you folks mentioned Ohio was a good start. My local dealer in NJ quoted 27,400 for an EX Tags, Title, Destination Incl. The van would be delivered in Dec. Does anyone think I can do better?


Thanks,


Fred

Based on info posted in the Ody forums, buying near invoice only happened to one person who was quoted wrong by dealer and only threat of legal action maintained the deal. So in answer to your question, I doubt you will find near invoice anywhere.


MSRP or above is the norm or the requirement of mandatory options. Some dealers in Cleveland going as far as $500 off but not certain of that number.


Your best bet is to go to this link:


www.honda2001.com/dealers/index.html


and start calling dealers. Maybe some of your CA compatriots can suggest dealers.

I believe it was called Upstate Honda because of location (upstate NY). I've spoken w/ David using that #, so it is correct.
PS: Try "Honda Odyssey Links" created by KarenS.
Towards the bottom are several dealers listed w/ good deals on 7/0/100 Hondacare wty.--Chip

I also bought from Upstate or whatever they call themselves. I just wondered why it was one name here and on the Honda site it's called another, even though they have same #

Look at posts 311 and 351 in the link below. They will give you a place to start looking for dealers selling Odyssey's at MSRP. That Long Beach dealer is representative of most of the dealers that I spoke with. There is a lot of price gouging and dealer greed going on around Southern California but it will continue until car buyers start walking away from these tactics. I called 45 dealers in Southern California so I got a good feel for the games being played. Check out the posts I referenced above in the following link below. Good Luck.

Oxnard HOnda reportedly sells for MSRP. Vista Honda in Ventura sells for msrp, but adds on about $500 worth of options for which they charge $1300.00. Try Brandon Kimmell in Lancaster at Pioneer HOnda. He sells for msrp, will take a refundable deposit. I am on their waiting list, but haven't gotten my car yet. Also Bakersfield Honda reportedly sells for msrp. Kolbe Honda in Reseda sells for $1000 over msrp. First HOnda in Simi valley adds a bunch of REALLY expensive and overpriced options to their vehicles, raising the price to about $31,000. YOu just have to shop around, put down your deposit and wait it out.
