Replying to: odysseyfan1 (May 30, 2007 5:22 am) can you tell me which dealer you bought your EX at 25,400 in NC? I live in Raleigh, NC. I'd be very happy to get that deal. Thank you so much! Robert

I learnt this the the hard way so just mentioning it here in case you are unaware of the "fine print" -- The $750 dealer incentive that most dealers in Chicago area appeare to be passing on are valid only in specific states. I live in Missouri and that is NOT one of the states that this would be valid in. This is what I was told by OHare Honda that the incentive applies to only residents of states listed and it's NOT a nationwide promotion like some others are. So if I were to drive to Chicago and buy a car from O'Hare, my Missouri residency prevents me from getting this saving. If you think this is not the case then please let me know. This caused us to alter our plans entirely!

Replying to: dwelles (Jun 12, 2007 12:46 pm) Bought '07 ody ex-l from Herb Chambers for $27,700 (includes destination) + tax+tags back in March. There were no incentives at that time and this was considered a very good price. I have since seen prices down around $27,200 (w/o $750 incentive). We had received quotes from Boch Honda first and actually went to Boch, but they gave us a run around and wouldn't make the deal we wanted. HC deal was quick and easy - deal was made in about 30 minutes with almost no haggling and were able to drive off the lot with the car an hour later. Hope this helps, and good luck.

I’m sorry this is more than a week old, only remembered because Edmunds keeps sending updates to the forum. We purchased the following on June 6, 2007 in northern Virginia. 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L Exterior – Silver (silver is in the name) Interior – Grey 3rd row shades option We walked out the door for slightly under $29,000. $26,853.00 EX-L $599.00 freight $289.00 processing $289.00 3rd row shades $897.00 tax (3.2% - 3% for Virginia state sales, .2% for county) $45.00 tags $28,972 TOTAL FYI – We purchased the 3rd row shades from the dealer because the instructions provided online say something like I would need to remove plastic panels and then punch a hole in sheet metal to attach. Working on an interior of a car isn’t my bag so we paid the dealer for that option. The other options we plan on getting are the cargo tray and the cross bars. We took the online pricing for both the cargo tray (somewhere around $100) and the cross bars (somewhere around $150) with us to the dealer and they couldn’t come close to the aforementioned online pricing. We also were interested in the 120,000 mile, 8 year extended “HONDA CARE!!!” warranty. Online pricing for this was just over $1,000.00, and the finance guy also wasn’t able to meet the online pricing. Hope this helps someone. Another FYI – My process went like this. 1. One month before purchase I emailed all the dealers in and around DC. 2. They each responded with internet pricing 3. I re-emailed the three lowest bidders saying I would be in that night to anyone who could offer best and final pricing. 4. Not a single dealership bit to make any price change my calls days later didn’t produce any reductions. 5. A month later, on the 31st of May I ask the dealer with the best price could do better, they told me NO. 6. A week later I walked in to the dealership with the lowest original internet pricing, drove the car, checked it out for any problems, and then sat down at the table with my sales person. I asked him to give me a couple hundred more off and I would sign the papers. He left our table to talk to the manager and came back with the answer that he couldn’t give me any more off and he wouldn’t honor the original pricing I was offered online. I immediately got up to leave, nobody stopped me, and so I drove home. About an hour later I called the internet sales manager furious that they wouldn’t honor the original pricing, even thought the quote I got a month before said it had a 3 or 4 day expiration. He asked me to come back and said they would honor the original pricing. I’d imagine if I waited things out a tad more I might have eventually gotten my additional 2 to 3 hundred off. All in all, we love the van, but I must have spent over $1,000.00 in billable hours to purchase the van so in the long run it would have been better just to get the best price via e-mail and make a purchase. There was one point that I was a bit shaky on when making the purchase. I feel like I made the right choice but just in case I didn’t someone here might be able to shed light on for others. They suggested purchasing the exterior paint protection and under body protection. Pressing really hard, saying things like “acid rain” and “hail damage” and “not covered by Honda”… In the end I opted out, but maybe others would suggest otherwise. Good luck to all!
