I've been researching prices for the Odyssey since October and I think I've found the bottom price in my area. EXL with the R&N package: 31,800 base (OTD 33,206). NC has a 3% sales tax. Also priced the EXL with RES only and found a base price of 30,000. I'm looking to finalize this deal today provided they don't try to stiff me on the trade. Hopefully these numbers will be helpful to those of you searching for a deal. One suggestion...even though times are tough and bargins are plentiful...still bargain shop because dealers are still being dealers. One other dealership I was working with wouldn't drop below 32,325 for the EXL with R&D and claimed that they had no idea how a better deal could be offered. So...be aggressive in your dealings. |

Replying to: TheSource (Jan 17, 2009 4:18 am) Good info, thanks for sharing. We are interested in purchasing EXL, RearviewCamera and possibly Navigation, (though not a must-have). We've been quoted (Northern VA dealer) a price of $31,735 base price EXL with DVD (doesn't include Rearview Camera & Nav). Does the offer of $31,800 you've been quoted include a DVD system? It sounds like a great price, any hints on who offered you this rate? Thanks! |

Replying to: Watergate (Jan 17, 2009 7:00 am) My 31,900 OTD for EXL w RES is from a NOVA dealer. So my base price is approx. 1500 LESS than you were given. This was at Koons in Manassas. I've been E-Haggling for weeks with their Internet department. It's been less than fun as you get the typical dealer bull through email too. It took me about 20 emails to finally get a realistic out the door price. Now one of the dealer managers wants me to call him..so I'm probably going to get the runaround again if I continue to pursue. I would like to buy a minivan, but I'm not going to pay 2006 prices. Honda posted a 40% loss last quarter compared to last year....these vans should be selling for 28k OTD in my honest opinion. I would be looking at Domestic minivans but the Big 3 continue to make absolute garbage.

Replying to: Watergate (Jan 17, 2009 7:00 am) $31,800 base TTL, $1407 OTD: $33,207 I'm happy about that. Haven't seen a better deal yet. As for the decision between NAV or no NAV, I thought about this quite a bit and came to a few conclusions. Yes, you can buy an aftermarket NAV that's better. If you are only concerned about the NAV function, then go that way. I on the other hand wanted blue tooth, the large reverse cam, and the large display for all other user interfaces. The touch screen is so nice, and the fact that the CD player/changer is hidden behind the NAV screen is awesome in my opinion. Another thing, $2000 difference in price between the RES only and R&N package should be negotiable. I had one dealer set the price difference at 1600 difference between the two options...the dealer I bought it from set it at $1800 difference after I renegotiated the price. Eventually when you do trade in the car or sell it, the NAV goes with it and you should see a modest return...let's say $400 or $500 bucks more. So if you can negotiate the price of the NAV to be an addition 1600-1800 bucks, eventually get $400 or $500 bucks back when you get rid of the car, then you're looking at it costing you $1000-$1400 dollars to have a built in NAV that you shouldn't have to worry about someone stealing and you don't have to pull in and out of the car, a large reverse cam screen, blue tooth functions for safe hands free dialing (I mean you are getting a mini-van so blue tooth is a big "duh" IMHO, and you get an awesome user interface that has a touch screen and large display. But like I said, if you don't care about the other stuff and only look at the NAV for the NAV function...then go get a $400 Garmin and plug and stick. That's my 2 cents. Good luck! |
