I live in Souther Cal and looking for purchasing EX-L with DVD and Nav. I am sending email with asking OTD price $32,000 (8.75% sales tax). Do you think my asking price is reasonable?

Replying to: tonypark68 (May 18, 2009 8:58 pm) I was in the mkt for the same model, and best I got is $31500. As said in my other posting I don't know how folks in the East got theirs for $29700-$30500 (all prices incl destination but exclude TTL). Picture this: invoice incl destination is $34139. Deduct $2500 incentive reduces price to $31639. Deduct $1129 dealer holdback (assume max 3% holdback at full MSRP of $37625) gets you $30510. So how on earth can the dealer sell at below that price? They have cost of doing business too. If you aim at $32k OTD, at 8.75% tax rate (add TTL will bump the total to approx 9.95%), it means you are getting the price incl destination but before TTL at $29104. I don't know how that is possible. Hondas are not Chryslers or GM, they don't need to sell dollar bill at 90 cents. The math simply doesn't work unless: 1) there are other dealer profits outside of holdbacks that we the general public are not aware of. 2) they lowball you on trade in 3) they bump up the cost of financing For a clean deal w/o trade-in, good luck. As said, I surely hope you get that price.

Just got revised quote on cash purchase: 30,589 + tax + $500 in fees (title, license, doc) on a red one or 29,789 + tax + $500 in fees on silver one sitting on the lot for a few weeks. Good?

Replying to: ifly3d (May 18, 2009 9:53 pm) Wondering why would they discount so much for a car just for sitting in the lot for few weeks. Obvious answer is it may have been test driven more, sitting outside in the harsh weather more. Are there any other reasons? How do you find out how long it has been sitting on the lot. Regards Andy

Replying to: cjdal (May 18, 2009 6:51 am) Regards Andy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thanks to another user on this discussion board, we bought our Odyssey yesterday. We got a white, EXL (no RES no NAV--we'll do after market) for $26,094 which included destination. Taxes and fees were $1800 (we live in No. Cal and have the highest tax rate at 9.75%). Dealer was Spreen Honda in Loma Linda, CA. Very happy with the transaction. Lowest price we could find in the bay area was $27,790 (or so) so we saved quite a bit of money.

Replying to: cshonda (May 18, 2009 11:22 am) price = ? freight = ? proc/doc fee = ? accesories = ? (what are the aalready installed = ?) any other fee = ? licensing = ? tax = ? This worked fine for me. If your area has some other additional well known charges/expenses you can add these. I also maintained a spreadsheet where I entered all the info from the dealers and sorted it based on the price. |
