Hi,
 
No, I don't think there will be one. Someone suggested autotrader search, and there are not that many 09 Ody left in CA (< 20 - maybe 10 now, mostly LX, EX, and a few EX-L).

The best price we got is 33700+710+100 =34510 plus tax and title from Hersons in Rockville. We were talking to Stephen George. We wanted to buy a Touring model but can't get the color we are looking for. The best quote so far has been 36900+710+100=37710 + tax and title. Any comment on the price for touring will be appreciated..

Here is a link to TMP through overstock.com on the 09 Ody Touring
 
http://cars.overstock.com/trueCarConsumerWidget.html?url=http://truecar.com/widg- ets/consumer/WebsiteWidget.swf&partnerId=overstock&trimId=307875&zipcode=91745&o- ptions_msrp=0.0000&options_invoice=0.0000&total_incentives=0.0000
 
According to this, you're closed to great price.
 
On the other hand, being a devil advocate, I'd say:
1. Like someone commented, your 09 Touring depreciates 3K the minute you drive off the dealer's curb.
2. At one point, I had 4 offers for 35K for an 09 Touring. Back then, there was a $2500 rebates to dealers. Taking TMP of 35.7K, dealer lost .7K, but then gained 2.5K or a net margin of profit at 1.8K. Currently, there is $1250 rebates to dealer expiring 11/2. Assuming, 1.8K is the minimal margin of profit a dealer would accept, 36.4K seems like a reasonable offer (though I've been told in non-polite terms by some internet managers along the line of overstock being delusional). By this calculation, their minimal margin of profit seems to be 2.3K. (I just notice that the url says incentives = 0, so hopefully I am not delusional).
 
Off topic, out of curiosity, does anyone know what a dealership do with these left over Ody? (assuming there will be no forth coming rebates, waning consumer interest in yester-year model, and competing incentives for the current year model)
 
I was pursuing the option of upgrading an EX-L all the way to a Touring equivalent, but have abandoned that approach. First off, I am told by a few dealerships that adding NAV to an EX-L is not possible. Second, some places say it is possible to install aftermarket RES whereas some places say it is not. The parts for parking assisted alarm is ~$673 (alarm plus mounting, etc) plus labor (I assume not cheap). I figure ~1K for the alarm, 1K for the RES and you're skirting the margin of a Touring already, sans the NAV which is impossible to add. If all the bell and whistle of a Touring is what you desire, I'd go for it.
Hope this help.

2010 EX-L in San Jose, CA by seestars

I am looking for 2010 EX-L. I contacted several dealers around San Jose so far the best offer I got is 30,600+tax/fee (OTD will be ~34,000).
 
Can anyone share a better offer for EX-L around here?
Do you guys think better wait until Nov 2 for the new incentive/rebate or Christmas season?
 
thanks~

Make sure that 30600 includes destination. That's always a nice low ball trick.

2009 Slate Green Touring Demo by sbailey4
Oct 24, 2009 (11:07 am)

I'm looking at a leftover 2009 Touring Demo without PAX with 5400 miles and wanted to find out what a fair offer would be. I'm planning to take advantage of the 2.9% financing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The dealer is asking $34,988 and $625 for destination for the grand total of $35613 without TTL. I believe that this is still too high since this is a demo and 1 yr old. I don't know if it would be better to wait to see if Honda offers any incentives on a 2010.

A new 2010 would cost$ 38000. A new 09 would cost 36500 [only 1k more than the demo] - maybe less if you can find one. I'd take the irs allowance for mileage 56 cents times the miles and pay no more than 32000-33000. Otherwise buy NEW.

OK macqandalf, Here are the other features the Touring has above the EXL:
1. Fog lights
2. Programmable windshield wipers
3. Memory mirror/reverse tilt down
4. Body colored parking sensors
5. Chrome colored tailgate
6. Driver seat memory
7. Power adjustable pedals
8. Larger alloy wheels (17")
9. Tire pressure monitoring sys. - Touring tells you which tire is low!
10. Corner and backup sensor indicator (you looking at adding to EXL)
11. Miles to empty indicator.
 
So....some very nice features! When I drove it I wanted it! So if you can get that for your wife - wow. She be happy! I don't think there is any difference between the 09 & 10 car, but I'm not an expert on this. I started to get a Touring at Carmax, but decided to get the new 10 EXL. I think y'all will love the car either way. The extras are very nice! But you don't have to have them. Let us know what you do.
