Just bought an EXL with Nav and DVD on 7/3 in Manchester, NH - Autofair Honda I traded an '01 Subaru Outback with over 94,000 miles and a few things that needed to be fixed. Will say the leather was in great condition on the Outback, but I have young children so there were a few other defects with the car. OTD including the trade and Doc fees we paid $24,449. KBB had my trade at about $7500 and the dealership gave me $8000. I think so they didn't have to show they went below invoice. I personally was only expecting to get about $7000 for the trade. So, the breakdown went like this ... Car: $32,150 Doc Fees and title: $299 Trade: $8000 OTD: $24,449 We haggled for a little while and then I told them the number I wanted to get to with the trade. I told them to get to that number or we were walking. I told them I don't care how you do your numbers - price for Ody vs. price for the trade, just get to the bottom line. They got to my number so we signed the deal. I didn't like the color of any on the lot so they went and found me the color I wanted with the options I wanted. No fee for that and they were very willing to do it - some dealers around here charge for that. Highly recommend Autofair Honda in Manchester. We did talk to Ira Toyota of Manchester, NH as we were comparing the Sienna and the Ody. Both vans had their pros and cons, but I didn't like dealing with Ira. They wanted to sell me what was on their lot even though none of the cars were the trim level I wanted nor had the options I wanted, told me they would not order me one, told me that they may never find my configuration as they only build certain configs. in certain parts of the country, and gave me a hard time about wanting a navigation system. I wanted leather, DVD and Nav. I don't think I was asking too much. Very happy with the Ody! T

| Although I'm sure it's not the only disappointing experience in the forum, I felt the need to share it. Thanks to this group I had a good idea of what the OTD cost should be for the EXL without DVD or Nav. I got an OTD quote in writing from Open Road Honda's internet salesperson, Christine Martinez, of 30,227. I called her just before making the hour trip with my wife and kids to confirm that there would be no suprises and she said no gimmicks, come on in. When we arrived, she met us and handed us over to a salesperson who said that the quoted deal was no longer valid, but I could get it for about 2,000 more! When we asked to speak with Christine to clarify the matter, the dealer sent us everyone but her, we even saw her hiding in the back of the dealer. We were at a complete loss, and I am still shaking at the lack of integrity of some of these dealers. | |

Replying to: capcar (Jul 10, 2007 7:16 am) $32,449 -vs- $32,572 Nice job! I think yours is the lowest OTD price on the board for the NAV + DVD, at least from what I've seen ;-D |

I am ready to pull trigger for new EX-L and wants to know what to check, what to look for and what kind of defect generally observed in new car. I know somewhere the info is there in this forum but not able to locate the same. Any direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: kaps9934 (Jul 10, 2007 8:53 am) I had a similar question a while back. speechman gave a pretty good explanation of some of the stuff to look for in post #15470. You might want to check that out. Good luck! jetzzs |
