Shopping for the EX-L with RES... Rock Honda in Fontana California offered a base price of $26,999 + tax, lic, fees and 2.9% financing for 5 yrs. Weir Canyon offered $29,500 the day prior, then said they would match the Rock Honda offer, but suggested the DVD may not be a factory product and the financing would cost extra - all of which were not issues (at Rock Honda).
 
We heard the 2.9 financing may end this month on prior year models and the prior year dealer incentives ($3,500+) may also end this month.
 
This is a great price considering we paid $26,000 in 2002 for a new Chevy Venture (poor quality vehicle)...

Stay away from Weir Canyon. They're not on the up and up with you.

Thanks to everyone for the great information in this forum, it was really very helpful!
  
Finally, we bought our 2008 Odyssey EX-L (Mocha Mettallic) on Monday 10/27/2008 from Planet Honda,Rt 22 W Union, NJ.
 
They threw in the "Splash guards" and the "Door Edge Guards". The only extra thing (unnecessary) was $249 - KeyGuard service for 5 yrs.
 
Here's the breakdown for our new 2008 Honda Odyssey EX-L, no RES, no NAV :
 
$25844 (including destination -> $670).
$1826.51 (7% NJ Taxes)
$354 (MV Registration + Title)
$349 (Doc fee)
$7.50 (Tire Tax)
$8.50 (Online charges/Fees -- ????)
 
The OTD price was $28,639 and we got the 2.9% for 36 months. (which was still not bad at all - just missed on the 0.9% based on score).
 
Did not get the GAP insurance or the extended warranty (7Yrs/75K for $1435 -- They were willing to extend it to 100K, since I denied 75K).
 
We really wanted the Mocha Mettallic with as few extra add-ons as possible.
Seemed like it would be difficult to get a basic 2008 EX-L in Mocha Mettallic by November, there are not many of them left in NJ.
 
They had 1 more Mocha Mettallic and couple of Black, White and Ocean Mist mettallic.
 
If anyone is interested, I can give the sales person name (He was very nice and not pushy at all - overall experience of all the people that we dealt was very nice).
 
Good Luck to all the buyers and happy halloween !!!!

--------------------

Went with .09% financing 36 months.

I paid $20 to fix a flat at Honda dealer. $200 is 10 x Fix-A-Flat. I don't think this is at your advantage, except there are lots more on top of fix-a-flat.

I disagree. My wife also got a flat tire last week in our CRV. Cost me $364. Tire was damaged beyond repair. Tread wear was below acceptable limits for one tire replace and was forced to purchase 2 tires. These were the Contis 4x4 tires. The michelins on the Odyssey are more expensive.
 
But you are probably right. I think $200 was too much as well. They started out at $395 for that plan. $200 is what I got them down to. Oh well. Lets see if it ever comes in handy??

Don't these tire protection plans also cover the wheel? At my dealership we just had a gal come in who hit something that blew out her tire and sent her into a curb which busted up the rim. She got a new rim and tire (the car was less then a month old). She saved about $1500.00 - Honda wheels are expensive!

First Texas Honda, Austin, TX is crooked by mdxdriver1

I got a quote of $25,600+TTL for '08 EX-L via e-mail from First Texas Honda, Austin, TX, last week. When I went to the dealer to buy the Odyssey they first said it was a special for just one day then the story changed that it was a mistake in their quote and the price is no longer valid. I had contacted them via e-mail and phone on several occasions before going to dealer showroom, at no point did the dealer retract the price until I walked in ready to buy. Their explanations were inconsistent and they seemed very dishonest.
 
I live in Austin, so what is a reasonable price for a '08 EX-L in central Texas or for that matter in Texas?
 
Thanks for your help.

MDx - first off, that is a load right there. Talk about changing the price at the absolute last minute - the ultimate "bait & switch".
 
I don't live in Texas, but if you do an advanced search of the Odyssey forum with some variable of "Texas" as the key word, it should narrow it down.
Isn't there some guy in the Dallas area "David McDavid"? I see his cars once in a while in Phoenix. (just a thought). Maybe he has a Honda franchise.
 
$25,600 seems to be in the ball park in general for the Odyssey EX-L. I am keeping a little spreadsheet of what people are paying because my wife & I are about to be in the market and want to have an idea of what people are paying.
Doesn't seem too bad.
 
Good luck.
Dave

Stick to $25,500 on 08 EXL without any extra options.
Dest Ccharge should be included
plus Honda special financing
