Replying to: kiwibird1 (Apr 06, 2007 5:22 pm) Trade: $9,500.00 (2004 Mazda MPV LX - KBB trade value $8,900 - Edmunds Trade value $10,041) 2007 EX-L: $27,900 (includes destination) Processing fee: $199 Registration Fee and Inspection Sticker: $99 MA State Tax: 5% of Sale Price minus Trade price. We walked into Herb Chambers 2 hours before closing on the 31st. It took all of 15 minutes to agree on the price. Two hours later (after paperwork and detailing the vehicle)we drove out of the dealership in our brand new Odyssey and waved good bye to the MPV. Of course it wasn't actually as easy as noted above. We had tried to get the same deal at a different dealership earlier in the day but that dealer wouldn't come down to the price we wanted. I was upfront with the Herb Chambers sales person regarding our earlier efforts, which helped to nearly eliminate the whole negotiation process. As background, we had researched Edmund's forums and seen prices for EXL in the $27,400 to $27,900 range and was determined not to pay more than that. So, if you are persistent, you should be able to get a similar price. Good Luck!

Replying to: rawnak (Feb 13, 2007 4:27 pm) I bought an EX-L today at $27250+doc (300)+plate fee (86). not very good because you guys, for $200 more, got many accessories. Is that a normal deal for this time anyway? Also, I was amazed that the APR that Honda financed me is 6.99%. I had not known that. Do you know if this is normal? Last year it was around 3.99%, and sometimes at the end of the year just %1.99. Regards. AL

Replying to: anhle (Apr 08, 2007 8:43 am) Also in Feb, Honda was giving 0.9% apr, but now they dont have that. But in other states, Honda is still giving 3.9% Boch, Clair, Herb Chambers all charge close to $300 for doc fee. If u dont mind share which dealer is giving this price & your experience, this will help others looking to buy in MA

Replying to: rawnak (Apr 08, 2007 1:48 pm) I drove to Boch Honda, 30 minutes away in Norwood. The guy there said they no way can give me that price, but they have my first choice color. He advised me to go back to Bernadi, because their price would be $800-900 more. So I walked out, driving to Burlington's Herb Chamber. The sales manager said they have the color, but their price is also higher. He does not believe that another dealer can do this, "why do they want to lose money?". He walked away. It's the second worst experience - I felt he does not trust a perspective customer, catching my seriousness of buying in the same day. Can not sell. However the sales guy at HerbChamber whom I met first was very nice, telling me after his boss left, that sometimes Honda can give dealership 2% cash back if they sell quick the car that stays long on the lot. So that may be the case with Bernadi. I understood, saying, now because HerbChamber has the color of my first choice in-stock, I can add $250 more. So it would be $27500+doc+plate+sales tax. The guy called his manager, who counter-offered $28131 as best. I decided the color does not worth that much of difference, so I return to Bernadi to take the car they have. When driving to Bernadi, for the last try I decided to call Cambridge Honda, asking if they can match the price ($27500, now including doc fee) and have the color I like. If yes I will drive to them instead. After 5 mins the guy called back, saying they can match, if I go to buy then. I was glad, asked again for sure, about the numbers. But then the guy said "if you can prove that Bernadi made you that offer". I said I don't have that written, I forgot or they did not want to give me that piece of paper. The guy laughed "of course they can not give you the number on paper, it's a trick to keep you back. They can not do that, losing money". I said "why don't you trust me, you can call them". "No, we don't do that, it's different dealership". So, this is the worst experience with dealerships. I told the guy I would later send the paperwork to him by fax. At Bernadi when meeting with the finance lady, having paid the deposit, I repeated the unanswered question about APR (before they said they have to wait until filling the application, and I did not care much because I thought it should be 1.9-3.9%). She showed me the APR is 7.99%. I was shocked and said it's higher than my home line equity, from which I can get tax deduction on interest. I said I would pause the deal and shop for loan myself first. Then she looked at some book and told me she can take off a point, meaning 6.99%. Over phone my wife said I can continue the deal, and we will shop for a better rate to pay off later. Also there are tons of credit card companies which offer us 0% APR balance transfer for the first 12-16 months. So I paid $650 more than my friend did last July. Also, she got 3.9% financing. Don't know what happened. The 07 model has the only difference in telematic steering wheel. However I've read in this forum that Odyssey sales came down 20% this year, so the price should be similar. (And I still can read here that people get close to 27K). Maybe she caught a promotional deal, or maybe the dollar recently has dropped against the yen, so all prices go higher? |
