Replying to: vem (Nov 07, 2008 3:40 pm) Does anyone think that the incentives will increase any time soon? The 3500 is good, but the interest rates were raised and that's not good. My local dealer had a LOT of 2008's left. |

Replying to: lab88 (Nov 09, 2008 11:28 am) For 2009 models, Honda will try to stay ahead of the curve and cut production to match the demand. They have significantly cut 08's production so far and increased production of fuel efficient vehicles like Civics. So, don't expect stellar deals in 2009...It is very likely that the current deals are still possible in 2009. Yes, you could wait until December 3rd or 4th and see if they offer 0% for 36 months vs. current 1.9% for 36 months. It is very unlikely that they will increase interest rates next month. You have to take chance that the colors you like are still available.....It is still not impossible to get the colors you like even in early December. Just my 2 cents.

| Just bought a 2008 odyssey EX 2 days ago. Paid $23400, plus $243 TTL. Deal threw in wheel locks/splash guard and something called clear bra, which is a thin sheet of plastic protecting the nose of the car. 2.9% financing. Got another quote that was $200 cheaper, but does not have any accessories. Overall, pretty good deal for a very nice vehicle. | |
I hear they everyone is out of 2008 Odyssey EX. Does anyone know of a dealer who has an EX in the NY/NJ/CT tristate area?

It has 40k miles. Its a standard EX model. Has an after-market DVD in it. Asking: $21k. They came down to $16,500. which includes a 4 year 100,000 extended 0 deductible warranty. My concern here is that it was in a frontal collision. Only the driver's airbag deployed apprantly according to CARFAX. It shows no visible signs of any issues. And clearly the damages were not high enough as to warrant a total loss on the car. Anyone have any thoughts?

Replying to: davesri (Nov 10, 2008 12:15 pm) One - I would take it somewhere and have them look over the underbody. Today's technology makes straightening out frames easier and better than they used to, but I would still have someone look at it. Also, check to make sure that the front door closes ok without any contact with any part of the windshield frame. I had a '94 Grand Prix where I noticed rust near the top of the door where the door was supposed to come close to the frame of the windshield. Instead, my door made CONTACT with part of the frame of the windshield. Everytime I slammed the car door, it made contact with the windshield frame and chipped paint!  Upon closer inspection, I noticed certain pieces of body side molding was not "level" between the different parts of the car (back right door to back right fender.) Of course, this is after I bought the car  (this was the first car I bought all by myself... If you want to go further, see if the space between the front doors and fender is consistent all the way around. Maybe even talk to the body shop and see if they remember the car and give you good idea of the damage. Perhaps they can surmise why only the driver's side airbag went off...that is odd. Test drive the heck out of it and look for any rattles or anything else that is strange or shouldn't be. Good Luck.

Replying to: davidingilbert (Nov 10, 2008 1:45 pm) I actually did look over a bunch of the exact items you mentioned. The panels all match properly, alignment is good. I am slightly concerned about the door...it closes properly and in the right manner...but I felt there was excess wind noise coming from the door. I told them my concerns and (as with the extended warranty) they were more than willing to give a thorough once over. It is a reputable Honda dealer in our area, so I was not so concerned about them trying to roast us. Based on the indications that I saw prior to them even showing me the carfax report, it seemed it must have been a front left collision right at the corner. Which if it was not too hard of an impact, it would explain why the D-bag went off, and not any others. It drove well, took it out for almost an hour. Wife and I both noticed a touch of rattling from the engine at first as if it was working too hard....but it leveled of quickly. We both did not feel it again at all, and everything was smooth running about 5-10 min after we were off. Figured it was just cold from not having been driven in a while perhaps. I'm more or less wondering if we're getting a good enough deal on it, or if we should have driven a harder bargain.
