All of us who post on these forums are generally well informed on prices, discounts, rebates etc. A car manufacturer [honda] has a national perspective and knows that there are enough folks who are lambs to the slaughter when it comes to car buying. Those folks don't frequent these forums. They see an ody in a parking lot and like what they see. They pack up the kids and go to the dealer and say I can afford this per month -- I want an odyssey real bad. Hard to believe but this still happens and while honda may sell fewer units without price support the ones they sell will bring in way more in net profit to the dealers. A friend of my wife leased a murano in 06 -- she paid msrp + 1k for wax and scotch guard, put 10k down, and bought a 7 year extended warranty on a 39 month lease. She follows the dealer recommendations for all service -- $450 for each 7500 mile service. Not lying. Instead of turning it in she paid 20k and bought it. Welcome to the real world.

I do not agree with you completely. Even the uninformed buyer do little bit of shopping and check the prices of other models/manufacturer. Just remember, it's not just Odyssey, but Honda pulled the rebate for other models too (example: Pilot). At the current price Honda vechicles are not competitive with other manufacturer. Honda will loose it's market share a big way if they continue like this and no manufacturer want to see that.

Your point is that uninformed shoppers check prices. Some do and some don't. Based on my experience, I know some don't. But the key here is you do and so you will wait for a fair deal -- congrats. Never under estimate the power of emotion when it comes to car buying. To a very few a car is nothing more than an appliance that gets them from place to place. Most get caught up in the bells and whistles and judgement is easily clouded. Look at the new dealerships. All modern with an ambiance that targets sales. Why not have a warehouse with bare walls and card tables. Pass along the savings to the buyer. I vote for that. But the bean counters know human nature all too well. The term "a sucker born every minute" still applies-- not to everyone but to just enough to offer a jackpot from time to time. That is the american way -- god bless america -- we can choose which club to join.

We purchased our 2009 Odyssey before the long weekend at Huffman Honda in Indiana (across the river from Louisville, KY). Nice salespeople, did not try to push anything or any pressure tactics. respected the fact that we also had some good information, thanks to this forum.
This is an EX-L with NAV and RES.
The price we paid: $31250+tax. The price includes all weather mats,cargo liner, pin stripes, door guards wheel locks and one year maintenance. This was the best deal in the area. Bigger areas have better deals but I would have spent some money to get the van from out of town to factored that and the "unknowns" involved in such a deal.
We love our van and have already made two road trips with it. Good luck to everyone to get the desired price and strike a balance between time spent, headaches associated and prices paid. Thanks again to this forum, We could not have done it without the community here.

wow, another great price..BUT that was when the incentives were still in place...They are no longer -as others have noted here-. Today, you're looking at about 33-34k. At this point, I can't bear to give back $2-3k. MDX has some good incentives now... Who knows, the analysts at Honda I'm sure look at national inventories and have extensive analysis tools to tell them what impact an incentive has on sales, time of year, etc....Just like the airlines know what to charge for a seat to get it filled.
Great community here..keep posting!!

Would have liked to have gotten in on the good pricing and discounts on the 2009 Honda EX-L.
However, the 2010 Toyota Sienna is already available. And rumors of the all new 2011 Toyota Sienna starting production in first quarter 2010. Should be some incentives on 2010 Toyotas in the future. Maybe we'll just wait six or seven months for the 2011 Sienna. It is supposed to have 6 speed auto trans and 27 highway MPG.

2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L in Iowa

Hi,
I am looking to find a good price on a 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L or EX-L with RES. The dealership I went to quoted me at $31,100 for an EX-L or $32,200 for an EX-L with RES before TTL. These figures are much higher than what I have been reading and was wondering if anyone has suggestions of what price is realistic.
Thanks
