The "True Market Value" price that Edumuds.com displays seems very inaccurate. I found a better website - www.truecar.com that seemed to display more realistic pricing data. I learned a lot from reading posts in several forums and websites and I only concentrated on finding a suitable price for an EX-L /w RES (we already have a GPS device and didn't want to pay for a NAV). It seems the price I paid ($28581.00) was the very good price around Indy. I recall reading on this forum that some in other parts of the country even got a much sweeter deal... (congrats to them).
 
I primarily via email spoke to all of the Honda dealers in and around Indy (only visited a couple of them with my wife to compare colors) and only two of them (HondaWest and TerryLee) were really interested in trying to workout a deal with me. However, at the end of the day no one really came even close to TerryLee's pricing. I think this is mostly due to them being a brand new dealer and wanting to just move vehicles and earn a good reputation. I'll probably give them a year or so before they become unreasonable like Penske (who's lowest offer was close to twelve hundred dollars over what I actually paid).
 
Like all dealers, this one also tried to sell me the HondaCare warranty (I think it was ~$1800) and a few extras services, but I wasn't interested. I bought warranties with all of my previous American cars and they generally turned out be a good investment. However, that's the reason for buying a Honda - it's reliability. So I passed on the warranty.
 
If you're really interested in working out a deal, I don't think you'll find a better dealer at this point in time than TerryLee in Avon.
 
Wish you all the best in your search!

Did this have the paint protection/window etching package?

2009 Odyssey EX - Phoenix, AZ by fref

Purchased a 2009 Odyssey EX yesterday. Here's a breakdown of what we paid:
 
Vehicle Cost: $24,500
Doc Fee: $395
Tags, etc: $527.69
Sales Tax: $2033.50
 
Total OTD: $27456.19
 
Price included window tint and dealer's "value package" (door edge guards, wheel well moldings, pinstripe, nitrogen, trunk tray, mudguards).
 
We had a trade, so our actual OTD was less due to sales tax savings. We added Honda Care warranty. Paid $100 more than internet pricing. If I get ambitious, I will cancel and re-buy to save the money. Dealer originally offered 3rd party warranty and said they only sell Honda Care if people ask for it. His original quote on the Honda Care warranty, before he know that I knew the internet pricing, was $1,400 more than what I paid.
 
Overall dealer experience was good - the kept to the price quoted. We were far apart on trade, but I got an acceptable price after some negotiating work.

The best deal I've found around here is $24,800, which is invoice minus dealer incentive, but no incursion into the dealer holdback. This was from 3 different dealers via their internet managers (Costco price was a couple hundred more).
 
Anyone had more success than I have?

Thank you for your reply. Your input helps me in talking to them. Monday morning I will coordinate with TerryLee, Avon and try my luck. I am planning to buy before this week end since many are running out of inventory on 2009 models.
Once again Thank you.

I also live in Phoenix and look for 09 Odyssey EXL-RES model.
 
Can I ask how much you paid for that Honda Care warranty? What's included?
Your deal (difference to invoice price) sounded a lot better than the quote I got from local dealer in my area...

EX purchased in NYC by carbuyer0934

Purchased an Odyssey EX in Grey today from Hillside Honda.
 
Costs as follows
 
$24,000 base
$670 destination
$200 pre inspection (It was $395 and although I tried to get rid of it all together, the sales guy managed to split it)
 
+ taxes ($2,145 since it is registered in Suffolk co) and DMV/registration fees ($250)
 
I'd never heard about the pre inspection charge, and strongly suspect it is a scam of some sort, but I'd had enough. I'd gotten better pricing but in less convenient locations.
 
Honda of Freehold quoted $23,161 -- which someone else had posted on this forum
Tarrytown Honda $24,000 + $670 destination fees etc
Bayridge Honda was slightly higher
 
Wanted to share this with anyone else who had been following the posts. Good luck!
