Replying to: mike_of_il (Jun 01, 2009 5:54 am) But the key to getting the best deals is to being flexible on the color. We bought the first generation Odyssey with the 3rd row fold-down seat in 2000. There was so much scarcity that we had to pay full MSRP and accept the charcoal gray color with the gray interior. After 10 years of seeing 1 out of every 2 Odyssey in that color, my wife insisted on finding the scarcest color in replacing this one. And she did not want another gray interior. And so we sought out the Dark Cherry with the Ivory interior. It is beautiful, but even in area of 50 dealers, finding one in the Touring was no easy task. So I did like you and negotiated with internet managers saying color is no concern and got my best internet price. Then I had to scramble to find one who had the color we wanted on the lot. Once I confirmed they had our color on the lot, we went to the dealer and negotiated our price down to what we would have paid for the color we did not like. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to use the online dealer web site and find actual inventory. Some will list the actual VIN, some a stock number. The ones who have neither probably don't have it on the lot and they never negotiate as good a deal to "acquire it" from another dealer. They pay if it is stuck on their lot, so they are more anxious to move it. Educate yourself on the MSRP and you can even figure out what they added to the vehicle. So for anyone who is color neutral, find a dealer who had multiple colors of one on their lot now and they will be much more easy to negotiate with. |
