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 .....

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) 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.

Replying to: nd1977 (Jun 28, 2009 6:13 am) 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) 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, |

Bought Silver 2009 Honda Odyssey LX from Brown's Honda World in Glen Burnie, MD. Paid $21,572 + $100 Dealer Processing + $20 Electronic Transfer Service Fee + $1300.32 MD Sales Tax + $255 for Registration ($20 Lien, $50 Title, $180 License, $5 Tire Tax) = $23,247.32 Total Out The Door. The electronic transfer service fee was for transferring mini-van from Northern Virginia to Baltimore because the silver color I wanted was out of stock locally. MSRP was $26,355 + $670 Destination + $162 for mud flaps and $99 for pin stripe. Financed at 2.9% over 36 months with $500 down for monthly payments of $661.31 Recommend using Costco EZ2Buy program. I received a Costco "no haggle" price over the phone, which other dealers wouldn't match. Even though Costco says it is a "no haggle" price, the dealer was still willing to negotiate. Negotiations at dealership took about 1 hr. I showed them a print out of prices paid by www.realcartips.com to save a few hundred more dollars. Dealer probably would have gone a few hundred lower if I would have taken the last LX they had in stock, which was white. In hindsight, I would have been more careful when showing dealer a list of prices paid posted on forums like this. The lowest I saw on line was $20,500 for a LX in Lisle, Illinois. The dealer, however, said that he couldn't match this price because there are variations in price across the country due to local demand and color preference. Once I showed him the price list as my final negotiating tactic, he could justify the price difference pretty easily. Overall, good experience. Paper work took a couple of hours. |
