Here is a list of things consumers can do that will help avoid buying a flood-damaged vehicle unknowingly: Inspect: Check the trunk, glove compartment, the dashboard, and below the seats for water damage such as silt, mud, or rust. Examine: Examine the interior closely, make sure that the upholstery and carpeting matches and fits tight, if it doesn’t this could be a sign that it has been replaced. Also check for discoloring, faded or stained material, which also could be a sign of serious water damage. Turn-on: Turn the ignition key and make sure that the warning, accessory lights, and gauges come on and are working properly. Test: Test all the interior and exterior lights, windshield wipers, turn signals, stereo, windows, mirrors, and seats. Also check to see if both the heater and air conditioner works. It might be wise to check for musty odors while the air conditioner is on. Visit: Have the vehicle inspected by a trusted mechanic. Always get the vehicle inspected BEFORE handling any money. Most reputable dealers will let consumers have an independent mechanic inspect the vehicle BEFORE purchase. Ask: Ask to see a detailed vehicle history report. The report can reveal hidden problems from a vehicle’s past. If the seller does not offer a report, use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to check the vehicle’s history at www.carfax.com. Note: CarFax.com www.CarFax.com/flood and the National Insurance Crime Bureau www.nicb.org are offering FREE VIN reports, limited to information on flood damage. |

First of all, Thanks a ton to all who shared and sharing their buying experiences in this forum These are very helpful to buyers like me. After many months of research, today I have pulled my trigger and bought the EXL (no navy and no res) for OTD at 30,500 in Seattle, WA and here the tax is 9,8% (high compared to many other states) and they have given me 7 year/100000Mile Power Train Warranty. The experience is very smooth. Today I went with my wife and 2 kids just to enquire about Memorial day incentives and finally ended up buying this. The van is not yet arrived and it is coming on Wednesday(hopefully). The sales man is very helpful and did not push anything extra. If anyone is interested pl. shoot me an email at krushi  gmail.com and i will pass on the sales man and dealership details. I hope I got the good deal. Thanks, |

Anyone? I'm was about to pull the trigger on this deal but now I'm thinking twice. I was quoted 29650 plus TTL (in Louisiana) for EX-L with RES. Is this a fair deal????

Can anyone make a legit case for buying the Touring over the EX-L RES? Does anyone anticipate these deals continuing into June. I will be in position to buy mid-june and love the pricing that I am hearing in here. Thanks

I cannot stand it when she drives my car that does not have seat memory and leaves it in her position where I can barely get in the seat to push it back. With the Touring, we are able to memorize both of our seat positions, push a button and it is back to where each of us wants it. If you are single or of similar height, this would not be important, but it is for us. 2. Parking sensors...it is a big minivan and its front and rear end are not easy to tell from the driver's seat. We have a tight garage space and sometimes have to parallel park it on streets. The sensors are a great way to avoid the little dings and scrapes that will wind up costing a lot to repair later. 3. Premium stereo...again, a personal preference, but again it is big van and having the more powerful stereo with a subwoofer fills up the van from front to back. The other stereo is modest at best. Of course the Navigation is standard on the Touring where it is an option on lesser models. So it comes down to what you are willing to pay. If we had to pay the $41K MSRP, we might have passed on the Touring. But we found several dealers in the LA area who were willing to sell it to us for $34,500 plus TTL, so we opted for the extras. We kept our first Odyssey for 10 years and so we will on this one too, so I am sure we will be glad we went for the higher end. |
