#23255 of 24350 Re: Leveraging other's quotes [rbacon] by nd1977 Jun 28, 2009 (6:13 am)
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,
#23258 of 24350 Odyssey LX for $23,247.32 Total Out the Door by ccampbell00 Jun 28, 2009 (1:50 pm)
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.

#23261 of 24350 09' EX-L for $27,200 in MN Twin Cities by mn_phi Jun 28, 2009 (10:46 pm)
After getting a few internet quotes the in early May for around $28,800, I decided to get serious by the middle of June. At which point, these same dealers were coming back to me around $27,900 with one at $27,500.   On Friday, I emailed the top 5 and asked if they wanted to sell a car today; if so here is my offer for $27,200. Three said no and two said yes! I think it being so close to month end helped my cause!   Our money went to Brookdale Honda in Brooklyn Center, MN. $29,544 OTD (includes $1768 Tax & Title/Fees $576).   The process was so easy! No pressure to buy additional accessories or service plans. In and out in 90 minutes on a Saturday. Highly recommended!
#23262 of 24350 cash to dealer incentive by springbok Jun 29, 2009 (3:53 am)
The cash to dealer incentive of $2500 is due to expire I think July 6, I am sure Honda will extend it (there seems to be a large inventory out there before the 2010's arrive) and probably increase it. Last year they increased it to $3,500. I am wondering if if instead of buying now, I should hold off to see what the incentive will be? The dealerships don't seem as amenable to negociating, one having pulled back on his informal offer of just above 30,000 for an EXL RES to asking 30,800 OTD in FL. If one gets an end of the month offer can that be extended to beyond July 6th?   Any one else out there have an opinion on this? Replies to this message: crawdaddy10 (Jun 29, 2009 7:20 am)
#23264 of 24350 EX-L RES by g15 Jun 29, 2009 (4:15 am)
Purchased EX-L RES in the Cincy area for $28,152. Overall I'm very happy with the Odyssey but I'm not impressed with the drop down monitor. The picture just doesn't seem crisp. Kinda jaggy and grainy if that makes sense. I'm very disappointed in it. Anyone else notice this? Could just be me but thought Honda would have put a more quality monitor in. Anyone know the specs on it...brand? The sound system is outstanding. Replies to this message: glengarry (Jun 29, 2009 12:20 pm) glengarry (Jul 01, 2009 7:04 pm)
