Uh, more like few are in a hurry to BUY them. The post from 12/17 with days supply is quite enlightening:
 
September 1 - 57 days
October 1 - 71 (32000 vans available)
November 1 - 97 (33000 vans available)
December 1 - 113 (33000 vans available)
 
113 days worth of Hondas with the lot numbers not budging as of 12/1, and if the pattern holds it should be 125 day supply or more by 1/1/09.

EXL vs EXL NAVI & RES by wingnut330
Dec 23, 2008 (4:51 am)

Hello all,
 
Here's is what I have on the table and would like to make the deal today so I can have it under the tree on the 25th. I'm in the Columbus Ohio area...
 
EXL - $25,800
 
EXL - NAVI & RES - $28,360
 
I'm guessing I can shave another $300 off of each deal.
 
So the question is, for a difference of $50/mo or $3500, do I go with the R&N or the base EXL? I'm hearing that the NAVI isn't a good value, but the wifey likes the look of it and thinks it might be useful. I'm ok with the base EXL, but it will be her car.
 
The other consideration is the EXL has some dealer installed stuff on it like running boards. I don't want the running boards so they are taking them off. I'm concerned that once they are off, I now have new places for rust to form.
 
What are your opinions?
 
Thanks in advance!

Wingnut - if you live in an area of Ohio with new subdivisions and such, the NAVI would be good. But one thing to be careful of, it could be just one more distraction that takes the eyes of your wife off of the road.
 
In terms of the running boards, I believe that the running boards are attached via "holes" in the frame that are already there. I do not believe they have to drill new holes for the running boards. But I would ask at the dealership or post something at this website....

Those numbers are mostly for 2009's. The 2008's are SOLD OUT in Minnesota, yet we still get a ton of leads for them. As a result of high demand and NO supply we went and bought two truck loads from down south (24 in total) and have sold 20 of them at $2000.00 under invoice which is a savings of $4000.00 from the 2009's.
 
The demand is still high for '08's (people still see a good value) versus 2009's which at present, have no additional incentive from the factory.

There are a couple things that make the Navi version more attractive for us, and well worth the price difference you quoted (GREAT deals, BTW):
 
When you hit reverse, the WHOLE NAVI screen becomes a monitor for the backup camera showing what's behind you. On the EX-L, it's a tiny part of the rearview
mirror.
 
The Navi screen is HUGE and much nicer than the comparatively tiny add-on screens you can buy. We've always had good luck getting upgrades for the Navi DVD every 3 years or so (updating more frequently is a waste of money, imo). It's also voice activated, something the add-on navis don't seem that great at.
 
The Navi screen also doubles (triples?) as a screen for the XM radio that displays detailed information on the title, genre, station, etc and lets you easily adjust stereo parameters via the touch screen.
 
And, then the Rear Entertainment system is a huge bonus if you have kids.
 
We had factory navi in our 2000 odyssey and have used it EXTENSIVELY on trips, so it was a non-negotiable for the 2008 we just bought - we had to have it. I would completely go for the 2008 EX-L RES+NAVI.

I have a quote for 27070 for an EXL with DVD but the dealer wants to put the all season mats on it ($210). I want them but I don't want to pay for them. Is that a good price and is it wrong for me to have them try to throw in the mats for free?
They are not seeming to budge and I am scaed it will be gone as all the other ones have that have a DVD installed. Oh and the dealership is 100 miles away so time and money over the holidays is not money well spent.
Any advise sure will help!

Well, I bought the EXL R&N today for $28,200 +TTL. I also got the 6 Yr/120,000 mile warranty for $1,100. Seemed like a decent price on the warranty so I went for it.
 
Now I just have to find a way to sneak it into my driveway to surprise the wifey on Christmas morning!

I am in Oklahoma. I got a quote of $30,300 for 09 Odyssey EXL. Just want to know whether it is reasonable, and how low can it go
 
Thanks,
