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.

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~

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.

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.

For what its worth, we surveyed this forum for months. We just missed the heavy June discounts on the 09 models. We debated and finally decided to get a used 07 instead of the new 10. By doing this we saved roughly 10K and got ourselves an excellent looking and driving minivan. We still get the Warrantee (and almost went with the Saccucci Honda Care)...the dealer ship matched their online price. Every dealer in our area (NE) tried to pull crap with us...except for Curry Honda in Chicopee MA. If you are buying in the MA/CT area, consider Curry. Other than updating their really nasty bathrooms, they have pleasant enough folks who seem to be straighter shooters than those in the area. |

Replying to: strawberry5921 (Oct 24, 2009 1:06 pm) Wow!!! That's a pack full of features. Thanx for your research. I'm getting fatigue over the chase of the left over 09 Ody. Probably will give it a rest til after Thanxgiving. Just came out to the last two 09 Ody Touring this afternoon with the wife. One place was asking 38988 which was more than one quote I got for the 10 Ody Touring  38498. The other one was outright nasty. They have a 'demo' being used by the owner of the dealership ~5K to 5.5K mileage on it. They asked what I would offer, and I said 35K minus whatever is fair for 5K mileage. The salesperson asked how I arrived at the figure, and I walked him through the calculation. His boss came back, and threw a sheet of paper on the table quoting 38K wholesale value which he could asked for, and said for you, minimal price is 40.8K??? I said amicable no thank you, and walked out. Not until an hour later that it dawned on me that the guy was probalby just got pissed off, and was trying to get a rise out of me (the offer was 33.5K - this figure was adjusted by their own salesperson)  My wife is not hot on neither the NAV nor the parking sensor (but I am - as I think she likely will need the sensor, and myself the NAV)... I still hold out hope for the 10 Ody Touring, maybe...  but we definitely will need the room of a minivan. Thanx again. Will keep you posted.
