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.

I'd classify that as a gimmick... Or, maybe legitimate, if it only applies to their Chevy dealership..
 
I don't have much experience with that dealership... I've always put them right in the middle, as far as the chances of getting a good deal in Cincinnati..
 
Invoice minus incentive minus holdback.... That is where I would start.. I doubt the employee price will mean anything, if it even applies..

Better incentive in October? by zgeist
Sep 25, 2008 (11:25 am)

I've seen this question posted, but no one has responded so far.
 
The incentive right now is $3500 and it ends 9/30.
 
What are the chances that there will be an even better incentive for the 2008 models in October? After all, Oct is only 6 days away and from what I've seen there are still plenty of 2008 Odyssey's on the lots.
 
Thanks.

Well..if I can talk my wife into checking it out tonight I'll let you know. The internet quote I got from them was $27,400.(invoice - incentive - holdback is around $26,100 I think)
 
Do you have any advice on trade ins? I have a 2003 odyssey with 65000 miles. KBB says $9000 for "fair" condition. I think the car is in "good" condition. Any idea what to expect?
