#23248 of 24349 EX - How did we do? by tweety6583 Jun 27, 2009 (5:28 pm)
I just purchased a Bali Blue Pearl EX with no options. Traded in my 04 Ody with 43k miles. Price was trade + $12,900 + tax and title. Financed the $12,900 + tax and title for a total of $13,800 at 2.9% for 36 months at $403 per month. No money down.   Dealer showed new vehicle at $24,000 less trade credit of $11,100 to get to the $12,900.   Any thoughts on how I did. I think I might have overpaid by $500, but dealer was reasonable to work with. Entire process was two hours. Replies to this message: nd1977 (Jun 28, 2009 5:31 am)

#23250 of 24349 Odyssey - EX-L w/RES by transam_1 Jun 28, 2009 (5:09 am)
Since I've used this site during my research, I am making my contribution back. Purchased this vehicle yesterday Silver with Gray interior in the Midwest with no trade. Van had splash guards and wheel locks already installed.   29504 + 200 (admin) = 29,704 before tax   Not as stellar as some posts, but a fair deal and I was happy working with this dealship. They honored our deal made over the phone, and the vehicle matched their description with not surprises.   Thanks.

Would like to buy an EXL RN but our dealer won't budge on the price (31,200) any thoughts on if this is high or fair? We are in Appleton, Wisconsin and are willing to travel for a better price ..... Replies to this message: nd1977 (Jun 28, 2009 6:01 am)

Replying to: tweety6583 (Jun 27, 2009 5:28 pm) If you have already finished everything, no point in asking around if you got a good deal. Someone somewhere will say that it could have been better and you will feel bad for some time. I think you did great. Enjoy your new van and stop thinking about the price from this point.

Replying to: twins134 (Jun 28, 2009 5:20 am) This is a good price if dealer fees are included from what I have researched or a decent price if they are not. Only big metro areas get further discounts. If dealer price is not included, you have to make sure that they do not have big dealer fees on top of this. Ask them if you are not going to give a single penny in cash/check, then what is the number you will have to finance.   Also, ask them to throw in pin stripes, splash guards and all weather mats with this price.   If dealer price is not included, then you can ask for a few free oil changes. If they refuse to budge, then you can see if nearby areas have better prices and get email quotes from them.

Replying to: rbacon (Jun 27, 2009 12:02 pm) Make a spreadsheet with different Odyssey types.   This is for you, don't show to the dealer unless you have to.   Your columns will be: MSRP, Invoice, TMV, Dealer Quotes, Prices paid how much and where using this forum and your target price with extras (all weather mats etc).   Use edmunds to fill the first three columns. This is so that you do not have to go back to the pricing page every so often. All these prices do get confusing after a while. While you are doing this, send a blanket quote request to all dealers for the trim you want, as the replies start coming in, you can fill the dealer quotes column. Then go through this forum and fill in the the prices paid column. When you do it, you will realize that prices paid do get clustered around some avg value for a trim and for a metro area.   Your target is to get the lowest price from your local dealer that is paid in an area that is at a drivable distance.   Then enable the negotiation skills. I preferred email. Gave the dealers my cell phone number so that nobody at home would be bothered by calls and I could ignore when I had to. That is a personal choice.   Good luck. And don't make this stressful, remember at the moment the prices are good and buying a van is almost always not a desperate case. Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Jun 28, 2009 6:31 am)

Replying to: nd1977 (Jun 28, 2009 6:13 am) Make sure to email AT LEAST 10 DEALERS to have better chance of lower quotes. also the breakdown of any fees or total amounts. You can send a same 'form' letter to dealers and asking the same thing thus comparing apple to apple. If color does matter, in the form letter you add your 1st and 2nd choice of exterior/interior. Some dealers double-dip on the destination charge, be sure to mention price is "inclusive destination charge"

Replying to: expoguide1 (Jun 27, 2009 5:17 pm) expoguide1,   I don't know yet on the taxes, tags, and registration as I bought it in MO and will register in Kansas. And every state is different. But I do know that Kansas is like 6.5% sales tax. So I have to take 28,200 times 6.5%.   So my $28,200 was for the car, destination, and doc fees.   Hope that helps,
