just bought exl/$25,600, a little bit concern by liminer

just bought exl for $25,600 last night, best offer I could ever imagine based on any other offers I got from the dealerships around my area; so I nailed it right away. Then they pulled it from their storage place because they don't have the color I want on site. It's very, very dirty with bird droppings on it; and it has 20 miles on it; all the plastic wrappings on the seats and floors(except driver's floor) are removed; the price stickers on the window are removed, too; and the guy did pull the handle three times when he tried to close the side door. All of the these gave me the feeling that it's not brand-new. Is it possible a demo one or the one has been test-drived a lot? or the one with minor defects? Or am I just worried too much?
 
We haven't pick up the car yet because they'll wash it up today. Can we still do something? Please give some advices. We're not very experienced in buying new cars, this is our 2nd one. Thanks in advance.

Mpls MN 08 EXL-RES by mn_vanfan

Just purchased an 08 EXL-RES last Friday. E-mailed fifteen dealers. Ten responded. Low bid for base price including destination was $27,764 or $28,764 with financing. As far as I can tell, that was:
 
Invoice, less dealer cash, less holdback: $31,282 - $1,500 - $1,014 ($33,810*.03) = $28,768.
 
They offered $1,000 less for no financing.
 
The dealer had a documentation fee of $75. Since tax, title and license are not negotiable and vary so much state to state, I have not included those numbers.
 
Remaining quotes for base price ranged from $28,864 to $30,890 with financing. We accepted the best quoted price as no dealers wanted to improve their bid below that number. Got pre-approved for financing on-line at the dealer website. Went in, test drove the van, signed papers and left. Total time about 1.5 hours. No trade-in. All in all a great experience with the dealer. Total time from first e-mail to purchase was four days.

If you feel uneasy then better ask to change to another one, or the 2nd choice color with same MSRP if they got only 1 in your 1st color choice.
Better late than sorry.

i paid 23400 i had to put down 414 which was dealer prep fees, destination and first month payment. i didnt even haggle on the price, the dealer was much lower than any other around. he was 2000 below the two other closest honda dealers.

Was the 27036 from Sterling McCall of Kingwood? That's not the lowest as dealer installed accessories are excluded. I got a quote from Gillman which is 265 more but includes window tint and pinstripes. Does anybody know how much does tint cost?
 
Can't believe people can get EXL for 25600!!
Want to team up to bargain for a better deal?

Damn, a complete odyssey window tint kit only costs $110. But the dealer told me tint + pinstripes is $500 value!
 
One question though: is the DIY tint as good as dealer's tint? I saw cars with tint peeling off.
