What's the best time to buy a 2008 Odyssey (in terms of getting the best price)? I will need the vehicle only after abt 3 months -- should I wait for some more time or should I buy one now? I don't really care a lot about the color.

Just bought an Odyssey EXL from Hendrick last night (Sept. 13, 2008)! I've been getting quotes on-line for months from dealers in Maryland and Northern, VA. We were quoted $26,452 OTD in an e-mail. I was dealing with several other Honda dealers in Northern Virginia. Landmark of Alexandria called me non-stop and seemed to be high pressure. On the same day we received the Hendrick quote, Landmark quoted me 28,125 OTD in an e-mail. But when they called me (a minute later, seriuosly), they said they would match Hendrick's price and maybe even beat it. We decided to go to Hendrick b/c they gave us the lowest quote from the get go and appeared very trustworthy. Plus, we've been watching the prices for months and took the recommendation from the posts here that Hendrick Honda had a great reputation for no hassles deals and customer service. Hendrick over any others boasts that they don't play games and there are not gimmicks. They were true to their word. We felt very comfortable and had our best car buying experience. We may have saved a few hundred $$ elsewhere (maybe) but did not want to deal with the sharks at other dealers b/c they always find a way to win. We had an old car to trade-in and got minimal value, but the total deal was worth it. Plus, we took delivery at night in the rain and did not notice a small ding. We called up our salesman on his cell and he was committed to getting it right. We're very happy!

We pulled the trigger yesterday. After 2 months of compiling quotes, and re-compiling new quotes after the incentives went up we made the following deal. 24,950 + TT&L We were out the door for 26,700. We were not utilizing the special financing. This car did include the Pro-Packs and other dealer adds. The Dealer asked that we not advertise this deal, as they lost money on the deal (probably a lie). I will say this, Freeman Honda gave us a quote of 25,500 for an in stock vehicle, and two sister dealers (hint) offered specials over the weekend saying they would beat your best written offer by 550 - 599. We followed the "Donkey Punch" method of compiling quotes, and played the waiting game. |

Replying to: smariner (Sep 13, 2008 10:14 pm) Better yet, try get one signed by the sales manager from fax or scan to email. This will avoid the excuse of "Oh! The salesman made a mistake and I won't honor this deal!" I know this is a JOKE. I mean how can they make this mistake when their jobs are doing the same thing daily.
