#23960 of 24381 2010 EX-L with RES in AZ by bigdon2 Aug 28, 2009 (9:16 am)
We benefited a lot from this forum, and wanted to thank everybody who shared info. here. We bought a 2010 Ex-L with Res (plus Tinted window, splash guards, cargo tray, wheel lock) last week. Base price is 32900 (includes everything before tax and title). We paid 36200 OTD (32900+2700 tax+600 title&registration). At that time, there were only two 2010 EX-L with Res in the Phoenix area and cash for clunckers was still going on, so I assume the price can go even lower. We need to move on, so didn't wait for a better price.   My sense is that the base price (i.e., all that you pay before tax and title/registration) should be no more than manufacture invoice +designition+ a few hundred dollars. Now the cash for clunckers is over. You should expect a base price around 32400 (manufacture invoice +designition) or lower. Never pay for accessaries that are already installed, they should always be free. The dealer should have at least $1000 holdback (3%) as profit if they sell at 32400. So, at the right moment and the right dealership, you can probably get 32000 or 31800 as base price, depending on how desprate the dealer is...   I would not recommend everybody to always look for the best price though, because the dealers will make you feel exhausted. If you are busy with other things in your life, consdier paying a few hundred dollars more and move on. Dealers will cut deals at quite different prices in different weeks, depending on supply and demand, and their own pressures. They just will not sell the car to you at a low price in certain weeks, and if you cannot wait, just pay them a few hundred dollars more, be happy and move on! Good luck to everyone!

Replying to: moshopper (Aug 24, 2009 5:51 am) Does you OTD price include tax and title? This sounds like an unbelievablly low price if it's after tax and title....
#23962 of 24381 Re: need help looking at 2010 ex-l with res [odygator] by bigdon2 Aug 28, 2009 (9:32 am)
Replying to: odygator (Aug 27, 2009 4:20 pm) I got one last week at 32900 (includes tags and everything before tax and title). The price can go lower for sure (invoice should be 32400 not 32767), but this is a reasonable price (probably 600-700 above invoice). Be aware of the dealers' tricks, and don't pay for any advertisement fees, accessaries, etc. Also be aware that the dealer will have at least $1000 profit if they sell at invoice (i.e., 32400). Very often dealers will give you some of the profit to boost sales.   If you cannot wait, buy it and be happy. If you think a few hundred dollars less would worth the hassle of waiting a while, probably wait and you can get a better deal. Good luck!

Bought 2010 touring ody last night (white), didn't feel like waiting for better deal, paid $38,700 base price (not including TTL which ended up at $42,700 OTD) in northern california. Above invoice, but below MSRP, so I pulled the trigger. Great car, just thought I'd let people know to give you more data! good luck out there
#23964 of 24381 Re: Odyssey EX: Is $28,000 OTD a good deal now in NAtlanta/Alphretta/Buford GA? [buyodyssey] by scratchboat Aug 28, 2009 (3:45 pm)
Replying to: buyodyssey (Aug 28, 2009 6:38 am) Yes - I'd say that's a good deal for an EX. I was ready to purchase 2009 Ody EX for $26.5K including destination but before taxes, title & fees a couple of weeks ago. That works out to a little over $28K with your 7% tax added in. In the end the dealership actually sourced a 2010 and sold it to me for the same price(?) - I think that's below invoice for a 2010 unless there's a dealer incentive on the 2010s, too.

Replying to: calnative (Aug 27, 2009 6:47 pm) I contacted Costco when shopping late last month. Results were a disaster. Dealer emailed once for more info. I emailed color and options and never heard back. On Costco's followup they told me to call an 800 # for other possible dealers. Decided it was not worth it to have another layer in the buying process.

#23966 of 24381 Re: 2010 Production [ksufootball] by james169 Aug 29, 2009 (5:49 am)
Replying to: ksufootball (Aug 25, 2009 9:31 am) "The Japanese are very smart people." Well, I now guess we now understand why the domestic auto industry has failed - it has less smart people running the show. I suggest you do some quick research on the state of the Japanese economy over the past 30 years. You might also want to realize that adding racial stereotypes to any argument tends to diminish anything else you might say that does make sense.   The point of my post is that Honda will make as many Odysseys as they think they can sell this year. The actual number produced will fluctuate based on demand. Anyone telling you what Honda is going to do as far as production for 2010 is simply speculating. Initial production numbers for 2010 were surely created long before the CFC program was created. You can be sure that adjustments will be made to their production plans now based on the artificial bump in demand. The keys of the industry are profit and market share. Those two factors coupled with an accurate determination of demand will help create production numbers. Replies to this message: jayrider (Aug 29, 2009 7:40 am)

Replying to: james169 (Aug 29, 2009 5:49 am) If they follow Nissans strategy last year, they will also increase prices throughout the model year then offer a rebate or customer cash. Smoke and mirrors -- works every time. Matching supply to demand is the wave of the future. Every effort will be made to be razor sharp in that regard. Limited inventory at the dealer level creates the illusion of scarcity with more profit on fewer sales. What do you think the bean counters prefer? More sales and less profit or fewer sales and more profit for the model year. This only works if the car line is perceived as vastly superior by enough buyers who feel the higher price is still good value. Those big discounts on Honda odyssey's and pilots are likely gone forever.There are however, lower priced alternatives -- you are free to spend your money at the store of your choosing. Folks who post on Edmunds looking for great deals aren't likely a big percentage of buyers anyway.

Replying to: laplas (Aug 29, 2009 5:49 am) Doc fee $399 ? Illinois caps those at $150. You didn't post the msrp and my guess is that the quote won't be honored.Msrp should be $34100.You got 4k off msrp. You should be running to the dealer to close the deal. I never trust quotes until I have a signed price sheet with everything in writing. Replies to this message: laplas (Aug 29, 2009 9:03 am)
