A reputable dealer would have done all of that for you. You could have saved yourself alot of time by finding one. You are so paranoid. Is it because you run your business this way.

So there's an add in Cincinnati that one Honda dealer is providing employee pricing on the Odyssey. Is this a gimmick to get me in the door? Should I expect to pay the 3500 from invoice, then subtract 3% of MSRP price? Or is the "employee pricing" better? Does anyone know? I'm looking at the EX-L RES.
 
Thanks!

What employee?
 
Honda employee?
Dealer employee?
 
If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck.. (or gimmick, in this case..).

Hello
 
Yesterday I got lots of offers from 15 dealers in Southern California.
The lowest one was $28,740 before tax.
Do you think it is good or not?
 
Thanks.

I recently got a quote from Castle Honda of Morton Grove for a similar price. The quote I got was: base = $24,667 and OTD = $28,327
 
But when I calculate a final price on my own I get OTD = $27,447 which is $880 difference - so what are they adding on?
 
My calc:
Base: $24,667
Doc: $150
ERT: $25
Tax $2605 ( [base + 3500] 9.25% )
 
MyCalc: $27,447 (diff = $880)
 
The destination charge would only acount for $600+ of that.
 
BTW, I've gotten several quotes from Chicago area dealers and one dealer got very huffy when I asked for an OTD price. I said I wanted to compare it with other quotes I'd gotten. I got a lecture about how I really should be comparing the base price because all the other stuff should be calculated the same by everyone. And if they weren't calculating it the same, then they would just be sending you a bill for it later. She gave me the example of a dealership calculating the otd price using a lower tax rate - then you'd just get a bill for the rest later.
 
Is it true that all the other fees should be the same at every dealership? She said doc fees for example should be $150 in Illinois.
 
Also, what is an ERT fee? That seems to be $25 in Illinois.
