Even though the loaded-up T&C appears to be a "steal" when compared to the Odyssey - how much of a "steal" is it if/when the little added electronic gizmos like the dvd player aren't working, and there's no warranty to fix it (I'm skeptical about the Feds covering the warranties of Chrysler/GM).
 
That said it still might be worth it to give the T&C a try since Honda/Toyota may decide to pull the rebates/incentives/financing sooner than later.

Don't include Sienna with Odyssey when comparing with a Chrysler. The Odyssey is GREATLY Superior to the Sienna in quality and low depreciation. Siennas depreciate as fast as Chryslers.
 
I have compared an Ody EX-L with a Sienna XLE and Chrysler T&C Limited. Here are the quotes:
 
Ody EX-L MSRP $ 33,825 quote $ 28,125.
 
Sienna XLE MSRP $ 33,448 quote $ 31,448.
 
Chrysler T&C Limited $ 40,570 quote $ 28,570.
 
However, the Chrysler T&C Limited was sold before we saw it. The Toyota salesman called me 2 days later to tell me they could "sharpen their pencils" but I told him to forget it because their initial quote is NOT competitive.

Hey
Thanks for the Toyota Sienna info. I didn't know that the Sienna depreciated so fast.
 
Good point by michael regarding the gizmos not working. Also as a sub for the DVD players, I was thinking about buying 2 portable DVD players for the second and third rows $100 each. Basically some gizmos can be replaced with other things but not the basic quality of the vehicle. I'm worried that the T&C will start giving problems in 3-4 years. I plan to have the van for the next 10 years or so.

SoCal Honda EX-L by nylaplus3

Just bought a 2009 EX-L, no RES, no NAV.
 
OTD was 30,077.84. Price before destination fees, taxes, license fees was 27,200.
 
Also, financed at 3.9% thru Honda.
 
I guess the manager wanted to meet a quota because no one else in the area could come close.
 
Good luck, All!

Shouldn't 27,200 w/o destination charge be a very fat price from dealer already?
Come on, if it's really because of quota, they need to offer these:
LX 21,000 + TTL
EX 24,000 + TTL
EX-L 27,000 + TTL
EX-L w RES & NAV 30,000 + TTL
Touring w/o PAX 33,000 + TTL
Otherwise, tell the dealer, see you in the year end.
Hopefully, they are still alive by then.

2009 Honda Oddy EX-L / RES in New England by toribiaa

Let me start by saying that I have been lurking these boards for about three months. The knowledge that I have acquired by reading the posts herein is invaluable. I don't know how people go to a dealership without the information that is shared here.
 
Today, I just signed the dotted line for a 09 Oddy EX-L with RES, Taffeta White; plus free lifetime ol changes (4 per year). The selling price was 28,475, inclusive of 670 destination charge. 6% Tax in CT, plus 173 for registration and plates = $30,744 out the door.
 
I started the process by emailing 10 dealerships for quotes. These first quotes were all between 31,000 and 34000. Then I focused on four dealerships and started emailing with them, and the quotes started to come down. The lowest quote I got was 28430, but they did not have the white in stock.
 
Today, after chruch, went to the dealership, asked for the person I had been exchanging emails with, told him I was ready to buy. He brought the minivan around so we could see it: only four miles on that baby !!! Went back inside, he brought the purchase agreement, everything was signed, and that's it. I was at the dealership for less than an hour. Those guys were great, no pressure, no playing games no "well, that quote is no longer valid" !!! No slimmy sales manager trying to load up the wagon with extras. I take delivery tomorrow !!
 
Thank you all again for sharing all the knowledge. I think I got a pretty good deal and I am so happy about it !! Thanks,

Also bought an EX-L with RES this weekend by chooch3

I too have gotten a lot of good info from the boards. We pulled the trigger this weekend on an ocean mist EX-L with RES here in Boston. Went back and forth between several dealers over email. Ultimately was able to negotiate a quote for $28,000 (including destination) from one dealer. We put down a deposit and were supposed to finalize the deal on Saturday, but we backed out because they gave us a really low quote on our trade-in.
We went to another dealer that same day and we were able to get a price of $28,100, but a much better price on our trade in. We had to do a lot of haggling at the end...not exactly the most straightforward and honest dealer (they tried to tell us we couldn't get both the $2500 manufacturer to dealer incentive AND the 3.9% financing!!! -- Luckily, I did my research on Edmunds and wouldn't back down...and they eventually gave in).
 
At the end of it all:
 
Price: $28,100 (incl dest)
5% Sales tax (MA)
Registration: $299
Title/Plates: $111
 
Final OTD: $29,735
