You should get a sense of what's really being negotiated. I'll post my buy on the site this weekend, as well as here. I hope others will post their buys on Real Car Tips too. yak33 |

I used the Capital One Autobuying program to get a price on a 2008 Odyssey with res + nav. Capital one said the price would be $28704 + fees. The dealer that was refered emailed me back today a price of $28,998.00 plus sales tax, license, doc and tire fee. Is the "Tire" fee legit? I am new at buying cars but it sounds like a way to get extra money out of me. Is this a good price? I am buying the vehicle in California, near Oakland. Anthony |

I just closed my deal tonight on the 2008 EX-L. Since I've been monitoring this board for the past week I wanted to share my insight. I live in Central Illinois and the my local dealer quoted me $26,400. A few calls and emails to various dealers in the Chicago and St. Louis Area got things moving in the right direction. I was getting quotes for both the EX and EX-L. The trend I detected was linked to how many of each model was on a dealer's inventory. When they only have a few the quote was not that good. For the EX model I found a dealer in St. Louis that gave an initialquote of $22,999 and one near Chicago that initially quoted $22,995. Not a bad starting point. For the EX-L model I found a dealer in Lisle, IL that had over 30 models listed on their inventory. Their initial email quote was $25,895. After some negotiations I closed with this dealer for the and EX-L for $25,200. The $25,200 includes destination charges. I'll have to pay taxes, license, and some doc fees, but not a bad deal. The kicker is they will also finance the deal at 3.9% for 60 months. Good luck and look for those dealers that have a good supply of the models you are interested in.

Replying to: papagoph (Nov 14, 2008 9:48 pm) On Nov. 8 we bought a 2008 Baltic Blue Odyssey EX-L from Hansel Honda in Petaluma, CA. Due to our work schedules and the DVD installation, we decided to pick it up this Saturday. Here's the breakdown: $32,210 MSRP $25,988 purchase price, including destination and dealer installed 10” DVD system. $55 docu fee $272 license, reg, transfer, tire fees $2083 tax (8.0% OUCH!) ----- $28,398 OTD Note: To complete the deal at $25,988 I negotiated a dealer-installed aftermarket drop-down 10.0" DVD system. So, looked at another way we ran the dealer's numbers and the purchase price on the EX-L straight out was $25,300. This is just a hair above the $25,200 quoted above. (I will also post this info on the Real Car Tips website). Baltic Blue seems pretty scarce in EX-L now (at least in northern CA and even harder to find in with RES (none in northern CA according to checks by a few local dealers). Out of 30 2008's of various models on Hansel’s lot, this was the only dark blue one. Papagoph makes the interesting observation about amount of 2008’s on a dealer’s lot factoring into more favorable pricing. It makes sense that a dealer would do this and I agree. Is a coincidence our buys are so close? Maybe, maybe not. FYI – For a comparison, we first drove a 2009 Sienna LE. It was a joy to drive and frankly I liked it better than the Odyssey. It seemed a bit more refined overall. The Odyssey was noisier inside, especially rows 2&3. However, as this was to replace my wife's car, we agreed this would be her call to make. She liked the Odyssey's body lines, interior, and a few other things better than the Sienna. In the end, I think both the Odyssey and Sienna are winners, so I don't think you can go wrong with either. yak33
