Replying to: bao1 (Sep 24, 2008 8:59 am) 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.

Invoice minus incentive minus holdback.... That is where I would start.. I doubt the employee price will mean anything, if it even applies.. regards, kyfdx |

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.

Replying to: kyfdx (Sep 25, 2008 11:16 am) 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?

Replying to: zgeist (Sep 25, 2008 11:09 am) Yes, but only within a given state. That's why you ask for it itemized penny by penny before you walk into the dealership to make sure you can compare accross dealerships. When I was working my deal, I found out (just like you did by backing out the numbers), that the OTD was being figured on a price that was $100 higher than the quoted price. It was an honest mistake, but we fixed it. Also, doc fees can vary from dealer to dealer - some states regultae the fee and it is fixed at a certain amount. Again, that's why you get it itemized, penny by penny. You were 100% right to demand an OTD price over the phone or email. And in this market, don't pay extra for the dealer installed accessories that are already on the car. |

I bet you'll save at least $1500 if you did that. Anytime you trade in you're leaving thousands of dollars on the table. |
