My wife and I bought an Odyssey EX from Jim Coleman in Clarksville, Maryland yesterday (Apr 30). This was after reading all the good posts here (thanks, everyone) and using Edmund's dealer email service to find the color and price we wanted (we emailed 9 dealers in all). $22,791.54 - Price $670.00 - Honda Freight $100.00 - Dealer Processing $0.00 - Mud Guards, Wheel Locks, Door Edge Guards $23,561.54 - SUBTOTAL $1,413.69 - 6% Maryland Sales Tax $274.00 - Maryland Registration (2 years) $25,249.23 - Total Drive off Price The best part? We didn't walk into the dealer until they emailed us the itemized costs above, the color, VIN number, and dealer stock number. We had our credit union put the VIN and stock number on the cashier's check we brought to the dealer (to avoid any bait & switch). We also paid the maximum the dealer allowed on a credit card ($3,000) to get the 1% credit card rebate (that amount would have gone into the check, so we'll just pay it off anyway). Oh, and one small but time-consuming thing before signed the purchase agreement and handed the money over. We test drove the van and both my wife and I felt a shake around 65 mph. The salesman didn't feel anything, and neither did the service manager and technician who joined me for another drive. Putting the wheels on the balancer confirmed what I was feeling ... at least one of the tires was flat-spotted from sitting for a long time. They swapped all four wheels and tires with a new EX-L on the lot and we went out again -- problem completely solved. All in all, we're very happy, and ready for a good road trip. p.s. I will post a separate dealer review in that forum topic. |

Long time lurker here and I wanted to thank everyone for their timely posts and input. Finally decided to purchase a Honda when they went to 3.9% financing. Was sooo close on a Toyota Sienna, but they could not get me what I wanted (XLE + NAV/DVD). So, here's my deal that I got last weekend in South Florida: $30,664.00+ $589.00 dealer fee+ $1.50 battery disposal $5.00 Tire fee $89.00 tag and title document processing $79.85 license and title registration $31,428.00 +TTL (I had a trade in). The good news is this...I negotiated over the internet and made an offer for an OTD deal which was accepted. The car that I purchased already had the pro-pack on it (trunk tray, mud guards, wheel locks and a protection pkg which included door edge guards and all sorts of fabric protection, etc. all at no charge. They even included my first oil change. So, although I cannot report the types of deals that some are seeing in Cali, I can feel confident that I did rather well once you figure in all of the extra's that were included. Making a deal at the end of the month helps! We're enjoying our new Odyssey. Good luck!
