| Anyone know what the best prices for an Odyssey EX in Fresno, CA Central Valley area are? | |
| What are people paying for the 7yr/100k miles extd warranty and is it something I should get? | |
| My wife and I have been discussing the purchase of an '02 EX (trading up from a '96 LX). I have called all the dealers near us (100 miles or so) and done the internet thing, etc. I finally got the sales manager at the dealer closest to me to agree to a price of $26,500 including freight for one of the 4 EX's coming in within the next 8 weeks. That's $710 off MSRP (incl freight of $27,210). I bet if I go back in with a check for a deposit tomorrow I can get that to a $1,000 off. Someone said it before, but the Pilot 8-seater is coming out soon and should sway some potential buyers off the Ody's. Another note: Colonial Honda in Perryville still had 5 EX's last time I checked but all had stickers of $32000 b/c they added every conceivable option at the dealer and they will not budge on price. Good luck I say! Please heed our advice people and REFUSE to pay sticker for a new anything. | |
| After my wife finally decided what color she wanted (GG), I decided to do an e-mail blast to all the dealers in No VA and Eastern MD to get a quote on an LX with security system, remote entry, and roof rack (I will get more accessories and install them myself). I e-mailed about 34 dealers using the e-mail address from the official Honda.com site. Amazingly, about 10 of the addresses were invalid (any dealers reading this pay attention--it's hard for people to get in touch with you with bad contact info). I was able to get good addresses for about half the failures from their web sites. The others never got my request. I asked for their best quote with no trade-in and cash purchase and also their delivery date. I receive 18 responses within 5 days. I ordered the van from a MD dealer with the best quote, who also happened to have one of the earliest delivery dates (around 30 May). The promised delivery dates ran from mid-May to Aug with some not able to estimate. Most prices quoted were around MSRP for both van and accessories. The one I went with was below MSRP (around $700, which appears to be good for this area). I will post more details when I get the paperwork from the dealer. The LX model is not as plentiful (many dealers said they had EX's actually on the lot), but I did not want the EX primarily due to the power sliding doors. The Town Hall was extremely helpful in my quest and I thank everyone for sharing their experiences. I will try to keep the forum informed about my experience as well. | |
| So Far the best price I have found on a EX is $27,550 before destnation, license,and tax. Anyone know of a better deal in the S.F. Bay area? | |

Which dealer in VA/MD area had EXs on their lot? Also, Brunna - Which dealer in MD/DE area offered that deal? Thanks |

keep in mind, if you don't have a deposit placed on a SPECIFIC vehicle, with a SPECIFIC build date...all you have is a waiting list game. The game goes like this, dealer takes your name and promises deal or discount. Dealer is small and receives 7-10 Odysseys per month. When the "target" car arrives, they call the 5-6 people that they have names on...wanna guess who they call first? The discounted deal? or the person that isn't discounted? First one in wins. Everyone else gets an excuse.."oh the car was damaged in transit etc, blah, blah, blah." Seen it before... Jerry |

| What kind of quote did you get for this. I myself am thinking about this. After burning myself quite a few times with "COSTLY REPAIRS" for various things in my house, I became a big fan of "EXTENDED WARRATY". | |
| Within the last few days I have had one dealer tell me Havasu Blue is on some sort of "indefinite hold", and another say just the opposite; I can order Havasu Blue with no problems. Anybody out there know the real word on Havasu Blue? Thanks | |
