Finally got 08 Odyssey EX-L w/RES at 27376 including dest charge. Tax 7.75% for CA SJ county. Got 1.9% rate. my score was over 710 so good deal.. Thanks for everyone who posted here. I was going to get it from Carsdirect and they asked 28700... Dealer was Hond of Ockland, CA. I had 2006 Odyssey LX and trade in.. trade in was worst price but getting new car with good price so... They are selling new 2008 LX for 19000 and i got my trade at 13500.. (my rear bumper needed to be fixed so not bad deal but not great deal either.) |

Replying to: erick830 (Nov 22, 2008 8:31 pm) That sounds like a good deal. In the bay area, the lowest that I have seen is 31600+TTL. will wait for Thanksgiving or Christmast to see if the dealers that I have contacted will offer any lower. |

For reference your quote is invoice minus the $3500 in dealer cash minus another few hundred dollars. Good luck and happy shopping. |

first the numbers. as the title says, just bought 08 Odyssey EX-L w/o RES, Navigation. here were the figures. Base Car $25892 Tax 6.25% $1618 TTL, Accessories $640 Drive our price $28150 Couple of observations (I would welcome any comments). First, I waited too long, thinking that my leverage would increase as it got later in the year. That is not true. I negotiated with 17 dealers (12 in Houston, 1 in Galveston, 4 in Austin). Out of the 12 in Houston, 5 were sold out, 1 had one in stock, 1 had 2 and the one with the largest number had 7 in inventory. I should mention that this is for "brand new" and not demos (I defined demos as anything that had over 50 miles). In hindsight, it would have been better to have shopped end of Sep or beginning of Oct. I talked to dealers (who did not have any in stock so they had little to gain by telling me this) who told me where they sold their last 2008 and they were better deals than the ones I could get in late Nov. 2. The consistency in the pricing among all the dealers was surprising. Of the 7 in Houston that had a brand new EX-L in stock, the drive out prices ranged from $28.1k to $28.5k. There were a few quotes that I got that were lower... and this leads to my next point.. 3. Even if you ask the dealers for a drive-out or out-the-door price, do not assume that that is the absolute bottom line price. I got some low OTD quotes only to discover that the dealer installed accessories (such as tinted windows and Pro Pack) were not included in the figure. You need to ask if the figure includes all accessories as well. 4. Ask for the mileage on the car. I had two deals where the OTD price (after verifying accessories were included) was in the mid $27k. I discovered at the end that both had over 300 miles on them. Whether you'd make that tradeoff is up to you but you should be aware. My conclusion from this experience. Every deal that I came across that was too good to be true had something hidden. As in life, there is no free lunch. These dealers do not misprice. If something is being missed by someone, that someone is most likely you. If you find a dealer at this stage in the game, for a brand new EX-L, that would sell at the true OTD price of $27.9k or better, take it. I belive very few, if any, can do that price. I did not find any. The dealer's "cost" seems to be between $27.9k and $28k (this is from the data I gathered backed by conversations with dealers whom had none in stock). If you want one of these and you waited until now, i think you will find that there is not going to be much variability in the pricing. I think if I held out a little more, I could have gotten another $100 or so, but frankly, I was getting sick of the car buying process and just wanted to get it over with. In case you wanted to know, I bought mine from John Eagle Honda, who incidentally had the most in their inventory. Having said that, I think they will be sold out in under 2 weeks. I was very satisfied with the whole purchase process at John Eagle. F&I guy was nice enough. Didn't try to oversell the warranties so I appreciated that. I would go back there again. If anyone wants my data, I would be more than happy to share them. Keep in mind, the inventory is shrinking pretty quickly. Hope this helped. Have fun shopping.

Replying to: Stackman97 (Nov 25, 2008 7:00 am) My final price excluding obligatory taxes and fees for a Black 2008 Odyssey EX-L with all season mats and cargo tray liner was $25,294 (including destination and documentation fee). It amazes me that these are going for below listed dealer cost. One dealer mentioned buying some of his stock from a bankrupt Midwest dealership. It has me wondering if these cars are being picked up cheap at auction for less than they could have been purchased from Honda and depressing the market price or alternately if its just cheaper to sell at a loss and not pay for storage space for all the unsold cars. My purchase was made through Herb Chambers in Boston, MA. Feel free to contact me privately for a referral (no benefit to me) to the salesman I worked with on the deal. Thanks to everyone who's posted! There is some great info on this site.

Hey all. I got this quote today from a Honda dealership here in Phoenix for a 2007 Odyssey - Touring. Keep in mind it is not used and has not been sold. 2007 Honda Odyssey Touring Honda's MSRP: $37,565.00 Your Special Sale Price: $29,471.00 Dealer Installed Accessories: $590.00 Taxes: $2,419.91 Doc Fee: $349.00 License Fee: $631.09 State and County Fees: $11.50 Your Out The Door Price: $33,472.50 Accessories: Premium Window Tint, Splash Guards, Wheel Locks, Trunk Tray. Also, if anyone has a link to the '07 Honda ody with pricing back then as well as options, please let me know. Would prefer something from Honda if at all possible. Not sure if this is a good deal or not. My wife says it is not a good deal. What do you think? Why or why not. Thanks. Dave |
