If you give me an email address and configuration you are looking for, I will have the dealer contact you. It is a choice between few dealers located in 250 mile radius of NY CITY, depending upon what you are looking for.

2008 Odyssey EX-L (no RES no NAV) in MD $25,442+TTL/$27.2K OTD by forumfollower

Thanks to everyone for the great information in this forum, it is very helpful!
 
Bought our 2008 Odyssey EX-L today from Northwest Honda in Owings Mills MD.
 
Only (unwanted) extras were mudflaps and wheel locks.
 
Here's the breakdown for our new 2008 Honda Odyssey EX-L, no RES, no NAV, Ocean Mist, $32880.00 MSRP:
 
$25342.49 (includes $670 destination charge)
      100.00 dealer processing fee
    1526.55 6% Maryland taxes
      222.00 Maryland title and tags
$27191.04 OTD
 
We took the 0.9% financing for 36 months.
 
We had an excellent experience with Northwest Honda. They slightly beat the best e-mail quote we had. They had the car ready and waiting for us. It was just as described in e-mail, and had only 7 miles on it before our test drive.
 
We said no to a very soft-sell pitch for $1500 worth of new tires/windshield/etc. insurance. I do wonder if others with more haggling skills could have gotten it down to 27K flat, or maybe had crossbars or a cargo tray tossed in.
 
We couldn't plan on going shopping with the kids on Halloween night for last-day-of-the-month deals though. And we may regret it if Honda has way better incentives in November.
 
Just I really wanted the Ocean Mist color with as few extra add-ons as possible. Seemed like it would be difficult to get a basic 2008 EX-L in Ocean Mist by November, there are not many of them left in Maryland.
 
Good luck to everyone!

EX-L with RES and NAVI by hotdealsniper

Just picked up a 2008 EX-L with RES and NAVI for $29,000 even no fees we just paid tax and title. We got the honda care 8yr 120K warranty for $1400 and added the 5yr tire protection for $200. Car had 4 miles on it. They also threw in all season floor mats for free because of a tiny scratch on the bumper. SUPER DEAL especially seeing as how the sticker is $36,500. We went with the 36month financing at 0.9%. Total interest for the loan will be $417. Not bad at all.
 
Got ours from Burt Kuni Honda in Denver. They got lots more on the lot. Everyone was awesome and we did the deal over the phone so no waiting.

2008 Odyssey EX-L in NJ ? by ssk6

Hi,
 
Went to 2 dealerships in NJ today (Open Road Honda & VIP Honda) and they had only white odyssey EX-L, which we obviously did not want. (They were not budging with the price too for that. One of them was in fact claiming that only he has the only 2008 Odyssey EXL in stock). They had couple of EXL with RES/NAV, but we were not interested in that.
 
Also called couple of other dealerships and they were out of 2008 Odyssey EX-L. Some had again the EXL with RES/NAV.
 
Does anybody know which other dealers in NJ or nearby have more stock of 2008 Odyssey EXL ?
 
We definitely want to buy in next week.
 
Thanks

I just checked the inventory of VIP Honda, it's showing they have 3 EX-L left, out of which 2 are Ocean Mist Metallic and 1 White. But this may be wrong if their online inventory is not up to date.
 
Try Potomkin in NYC. They have plenty (10+) of stocks for EX-L. Not much color choice for other dealers.
 
I do not think there will be any EX-L left for Nov in NJ / NYC area.

Does anyone know how where to locate the transmission fluid filter and how to replace it? I check in my owners manual but I haven't notice any info.
Thanks.

Poor experience at Potamkin by sh34

I went to Potamkin Honda today to look at the Ody EX-L. I thought the deal 27k OTD was attractive and I was ready to buy the car. However, the dealership made me wait 45 minutes until I could finally talk to a salesperson. Then the sales person told me to 'keep waiting in the customer lounge." After sitting at the dealership for over an hour, we were feeling sick about the whole experience. I wonder how often other customers get this kind of treatment. Some dealers make customers wait hours and hours before a car be driven off the lot as a strategy to make you buy a car, since the customer has already wasted all that time. I would have preferred Potamkin had said.. "please wait 1.5 hours because we are busy " at least I would have the opportunity to do a few choirs and come back.
 
Are there any courteous Honda dealers in NYC that want to sell cars?

Even you want to do business with them and they still didn't take care of you ... copy and paste - report to the dealer review section. Dealer like this deserves less business or even go out of biz.
