Great!! Looks like you were very successful on your pricing. I'm looking for an EX in CT and was hoping you could provide the name of the dealership you got the best pricing for. Also, was the life time oil changes a negotiated item or is that a std. offering of the dealership? thanks.

I got the lowest prices from Liberty Honda in Hartford and Schaller Honda in New Britain. The oil changes were not standard; it was negotiated: Liberty Honda at it to the deal when they knew that I had offers from other dealerships.

I'm in the same boat here in Texas! I can't seem to get anybody to budge below Invoice - $2500 for a Touring without PAX.
 
Is this due to inventory of the Touring models or just a downside of living in Texas? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am hoping to purchase by the end of the month. Hubby is getting very tired of sharing his car.

I'm looking to purchase an '09 Odyssey Touring without PAX:
 
My math on the costs:
 
MSRP: 40505
Invoice: 36677
Dealer Holdback (3% of MSRP): -2500
Dealer Cash -1215.15
Advertising (1% of MSRP) 405.05
Destination 670
 
Total "Cost" to Dealer: 34,036.90
 
I have not shown any of my numbers to the dealers and I have two offers I am considering:
 
Dealer 1: $34,036.60
 
Dealer 2: $34,137.00
 
Am I going to do much better than this?

Great price! I am also looking for EXL in CT. The lowest quote I got was round 29000. Could you please send names of the salesperson and contact emails
to youngyale AT gmail.com. Thanks.

Hi opharbour. Refer to post #21448 as it seems like a good summary. For this model, they list:
 
Invoice: 37447 (includes destination and advertising)
Dealer Holdback: -810 (2% of MSRP, not 3%)
Dealer Cash: -2500
 
Total "cost" to Dealer: 34137
 
Your quotes are right at this number or slightly lower. Seems like a pretty good deal, but some users of this forum have been reporting even further discounts on some models, suggesting they are selling for small loses to move cars OR there is additional dealer cash available.

I am also in the market for EX-L with RES and looking for deals. After looking at your deal closely, I noticed that your numbers don't add up.
 
Selling Price: $28,475
6% Tax: $1,708.5
Reg & Plates: $173
 
Total OTD should be $30,356.5, but you paid $30,744 (a diff of $387.5)
 
Did I miss something?

Thanks, dad2be. I factored in 3% for the dealer holdback as I thought it was 2% for vehicles on the lot for 90 days or less and 3% for longer than 90 days. I thought I read somewhere that the average Honda Odyssey spends 101 days on the lot before it is sold, so I thought I would go for the higher number (and it looks like my 1% on advertising was too high, so the numbers offset).
 
Either way, it looks like I'm getting a decent deal. I don't begrudge a dealership making a profit, I just don't want to feel like the buyer who overpaid.

If you need to keep the minivan for that long then I highly recommend getting the T&C.
They come with a lifetime powertrain warranty and you can buy the lifetime bumper to bumper extended warranty for around $1800-2000.
The catch is the life time warranties are only valid for the original owner so you have to buy it brand new from the dealer.
Currently, you can get anywhere from $10k-$11k OFF MSRP on a nicely equipped T&C. If you look at a similarly equipped T&C and Odyssey you will see that the Odyssey will cost you close to $5k more.
I test drove both and I have always been a Japanese car fan but the T&C beats the smack out of Odyssey especially when you factor in the lifetime powertrain and bumper to bumper warranties.
The 09 T&C is a much better van than its older brethren and if you want to keep it for that long then nothing beats the lifetime warranty.
If you are worried about the warranty if Chrysler goes under then don't.
The Feds guarantee the warranties on any auto made by Chrysler and sold after 3/30/2009.

I am a lwyer so obviously not good at math !! I forgot to list the dealer conveyance fee of $399. I just took delivery today and I just love the smell of new car. I swear they must have that smell bottled up and they spray it just before they give up the car !!
