Replying to: uglyduckling (Mar 19, 2008 6:38 pm) Buying process was great, very low pressure pitch for all the extra warranty/protection items. May have left a few hundred on the table as probably could have pitted Greensboro/Sanford dealers against RTP dealers, but overall am satisfied with the price. Low rate financing was never mentioned and some of the dealers explicitly said it expired at the end of Feb, so must be a regional thing.

I just purchased a 2008 Touring w/o PAX for $33,520 from Sheehy Honda (Alexandria, VA). OTD price came to $34,995. I used the now-infamous Donkey Punch method and it worked great. Ourisman Honda came in with the lowest bid and I used it to get the color I wanted from Sheehy. Sheehy originally came in about $1,000 over the Ourisman bid and they (Sheehy) were more than willing to beat. We love the car and I'm really glad I didn't get PAX.

After reading a lot of threads, it appears Seattle is a difficult place to get a good deal on an Odyssey. I have an aquaintance who works at a local Honda dealership who offered to sell me an Odyssey for $200 over his cost. I am guessing this is $200 over invoice. If so, should I still shop around? It appears $200 over invoice in the Seattle area is about as good as it gets. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. |

Replying to: traviswalken (Mar 22, 2008 7:20 pm) There is currently $2000 in Honda factory to dealer marketing support, good only on purchases. Most dealers are pretty upfront about passing that directly through to buyers. My opinion: with a limited amount of shopping, you should be able to purchase an Odyssey in the Seattle area for $2500 under invoice. Other areas of the country are seeing deals at $3000-$3500 under invoice. For leases, the dealer doesn't get the $2000 marketing support, so your equivalent purchase price will be $2000 higher. I believe you will have better luck if you look outside the Seattle/Bellevue/Kirkland area. Try Everett, Lynnwood, Burien, Fife, Auburn, South Tacoma. (I leased a 2008 Touring end of January from Hinshaw Honda in Auburn and was happy with the deal.) Even if you are leaning toward doing the deal with your acquaintance, I'd suggest taking an hour to email the Internet sales departments at a handful of area dealers and ask for their best price on an Odyssey at the trim level you desire. Find the Donkeypunch post (#16934) from October 2007. That will establish the negotiation-free market price for the Odyssey in this area and you can feel good (or bad) about the deal your friend is offering. Good luck. |

| Tried the donkey punch method, got some responses, the lowest is $29466 (only includes dest.). Can't get anybody else to come down any more, most didn't even bother to come back with 2nd quote. Comments?? | |
