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,

Odyssey LX for $23,247.32 Total Out the Door by ccampbell00

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.

09' EX-L for $27,200 in MN Twin Cities by mn_phi

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!

cash to dealer incentive by springbok

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?

EX-L RES by g15

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.

Twin Cities, MN EX-L $27,500 before tax and title by mplsowner

We feel we did okay on this price, and we got a color we wanted. We maybe could have pushed a bit more on price but were sick of the process. Also, the EX-Ls (with no RES) must be in high demand in our area, or everyone else was looking for a bargain on a cloudy/rainy Saturday morning at the end of the month.
 
They really were flying off the lot on Saturday morning. We know of two other EX-Ls that were sold in the couple of hours we were at the dealership completing our transaction. I thought it was a joke when people talk about cars being bought out from under them. One car that was on our short list was sold between the time we talked with the salesperson and when we arrive an hour later. Then, we snatched our car from some other people who wanted it. Those buyers had taken a look at the color the same time we were in it deciding. Then, apparently they told the salesman it was the one they wanted, but we were out driving it. Since we were in it, we got it.
 
We bought at Inver Grove Honda, and it was a good experience. The only pressure at all, which was still very minimal, was to buy the extended warrantly. Where wouldn't we buy? Walser Honda in Burnsville. They advertise no haggle pricing, but their prices are so much higher than everyone else's that they are a joke.
 
Congrats to the other person from the Twin Cities who got an EX-L for $27,200 from Brookdale Honda. That's a great price! That dealer never responded to our e-mail inquiry, and they are so far from us that we didn't drive up there to check them out.

Twin Cities, MN EX-L $27,600 before tax and title by fhhondaowner

We bought one week ago today for 27,600 before tax and title at Brookdale in MN. It sure looks like we could have gotten down a couple of hundred if we waited until the end of the week, but our color options were getting very limited (we didn't want black, red or white).
 
Love the vehicle--glad we made the purchase.
Agree with the previous poster on Walser--they weren't even competitive.
 
Thanks to other posters for help on the target price.
