Replying to: wingnut330 (Dec 23, 2008 4:51 am) 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! |

Replying to: TwoKids (Dec 24, 2008 6:07 am) I ended up getting a 08 EX-L with RES and NAV for 28.8k. If you bargain hard enough you could get just about any dealer in Wisconsin to do a deal like that if they have one in stock. I would stay away from Russ Darrow though, the internet guy there is a total snake. I thought about adding an aftermarket DVD player, but I decided I'd rather pay a little more for the Nav (which might keep my wife from getting lost someday) and have everything integrated and without cords/chargers than get it cheaper and have to deal with adding something. It's part laziness, and part I just wanted to be done and have a DVD player ready to go to drive to Grandmas on Christmas. I will tell you that if you're not in a hurry, it might be worth waiting til spring. I searched back in this forum to around April of 2008. It looked like dealers were offering pretty big discounts on the 08s back then, so it stands to reason they might do it again this year. The 09s are about $1k more than the 08s, so it might be worth getting the 08 with NAV anyways (that was part of my decision too). My favorite dealer to work with was Boylan Honda. That's not where I got this one from, but its where we got our last one, and the internet guy there is honest and gives good prices. Hope that helps. |
