Replying to: buypilot1 (Aug 22, 2007 2:47 am) And Alex, good work! I live in the triangle area, NC. I requested quote from Maryland, Virginia, and some local dealer. And the one of the lowest price is from Bryan Honda at Fayetteville. We call the saleman to setup the appointment at afternoon, and he promise to have the car ready without asking deposit or anything. Good for him! The whole transaction was smooth. The only bad thing about Bryan Honda is....they don't have a website, which made me hesitate a little bit. But the salesman there was decent and prompt. Makes it easy to negotiate. To share some quote information for EX-L: 1.) College Park Honda at MD 25,859 + 595 destination + 15 tag + 100 process fee + 3% NC HUT tax = 27344.77 Salesman is decent but wouldn't further lower the price. He mentioned 2000 factory incentive and $300 holdback, added wheel locks, mud guards, and door edge guards 2.) Hendrick Honda at VA 25,600 + 595 destination + 55 tag + 399 process + 829.74 NC Tax = 27478.74 Add mud guard and the decoretive stripe at the side. From his break down I figure the tax from quote isn't 3%. The salesman got caught and refuse to talk anymore. Gee.... is it really that difficult to be honest? 3.) Concord Honda at NC (close to Charlotte) Bring in email quote from any dealer and they'll beat it by $100 = 27244.77 BUT, the saleman there wouldn't promise to have the car ready until I show up at their door. I talked to two guys there and overall they are not very easy to work with. Maybe living at Chalotte would be ideal to buy a car from there. 4.) Bryan Honda at Fayetteville, NC $27300 OTD with mud guard. Another buyer, Alex, here from Edmunds.com did all the negotiation with the salesman So I don't know the detail. Apparently the attitude of the salesman at Bryan Honda is really really good, so Alex insist we give the salesman one more chance to lower the price even the one at Concord is definitely better deal (and Fayettevile is 1 hour closer, too) 5.) Crown Honda at Greensboro, NC The salesman said she doesn't know anything about the $2000 incentive and never lower the offer 6.) Auto Park Honda, Cary, NC They say something like.."go for it" when I said I got better offer from other dealer. Well, that make sense. With all the rich family living in RTP, and those family don't come to Edmunds.com, I woun't sell the car for below invoice if I was the salesman. Besides, Auto Park Honda/Leith Honda (Same company) basically has no competition within 50 miles. Last but not least, to all the Odyssey buyers - Be consistant on your target price, you'll get it. |

Replying to: quill67 (Aug 27, 2007 5:18 pm) $30,300 - incl destination $ 1,818 - 6% tax $ 118 - Tags, Transfer, etc included free accessories - all weather mats(retail would be $205), cargo net($65), cargo tray for back well($115), wheel locks($79). $32,236 Out the door We battled it out and almost left over the stupid accessories! They claim they don't have a huge margin on the accessories to work with...blah blah blah. If you can take the "risk", start walking out the door and they will probably chase you down too. Qualified for the 2.9% financing, but cost with financing deal was $32,300 (crazy!), so we paid $5k on credit card (got them up from $4k credit card allowance...so more travel miles for us-yeah!) and used a Cap One Auto loan check for the remainder. Wanted the Touring model with the back power tailgate and parking sensors, but NOT the PAX tires ($300+ to replace each)and lower seat option (7 vs EXL's 8!). They wanted $35,300 approximately for the Touring and we could not justify the extra cost for not so many "extras". At that price point we'd go for AWD Sienna, that to us is a worthwhile "extra" in the north! OTD price was still lower that national average on cars.com and we had another local dealer on the phone who would not match, so we finally gave in. We have been doing this for 3 weeks, so exhaustion was also a factor. I also think it was a "fair" price in our area that still has high demand. Your local supply/demand is a factor that must be considered too. Dealer was fine, no tricks, no crazy fees on final bill, no warranty hard sell. Offered HondaCare warranty $0 deduct 7yr/80k miles $1,245 and 8yr/100k $1,630. We said no thanks. Do these quotes sound high to others? Now we are on the search for a decent warranty (anyone have advice on reputable companies?) and trying to sell my favorite car ever...my 1st Accord! If that Accord could fit 3 car seats I would never have upgraded to the van!  Good luck to all buyers.

Replying to: momofthree3 (Aug 29, 2007 12:32 pm) We got a quote for around $29,500 for an EX-L with DVD+NAV. That's before TTL. What is a Cap One Auto Loan?? We're loved to be able to have this same Ody for about $30k OTD... but I don't think it's going to happen.

Replying to: mary36 (Aug 29, 2007 12:45 pm) Just go to Capitalone.com and click auto loans. Fill out their application, they send you a blank check to use at any dealer. You lock in a rate for 45 days and you have the power of dealing with "cash". We also got a check from Road Loans, but rate was higher. We did not tell the salesman how we were going to finance until close to the end of the deal, just to feel him out. You kids will LOVE the "magic" doors! My toddlers really think they are opening the doors with a wave of their hand - hahaha. |

Two local dealers have given me slightly differently descriptions of what is in their pro pack for the Odyssey. Anyone know what should be included, or does this in fact vary by dealer? Dealer 1: mud guards, floor mats, cargo tray, wheel locks Dealer 2: mud guards, floor mats, cargo tray, wheel locks, cargo net |

I am getting offer for 25970 driveout. From Texas. Is this a good price? This is a first asking price from email. How much lower should i negotiate? |

I see posting for EX-L and EX-L w/RES. But don't see any quotes from people getting just the EX.
