Just to update. I ended up buying a 2007 EX-L without NAV/RES with 19000 miles for just under 24k. It is certified and I got the extended warranty for 7 years/100k miles. Thanks for all the advice. dg |

Replying to: goatee9 (Oct 31, 2009 12:03 pm) I just ended up buying a 2010 Ody EX-L R&N today at Spreen for 30008 -> 36763.39 OTD. The Hardin people told me they sold that unit that night or the next day. I am not sure if they actually sold it, or sold it to someone at higher price, but would no longer accept that quote. The one they 'sold' was supposedly gray ext, gray int. Supposedly there is a blue one coming in, and 35249 was the price they quoted me on return (was there with my wife to look for a Touring). My wife was not amused to say the least (I thought I wrote down 33249, but she pointed it out that the second quote I wrote was 35249 on their card). Needless to say, I was banned to do further business with them. I emailed them, and they were quite wishy-washy about it. Actually suggested to me that we were talking about an 09 model (which they did not have one, and was trying to bait and switch us to come in to begin with). They sort of admit that their agent probably made an honest mistake in making that quote, but one of their manager was actually there to okay the offer, since the agent could not make that kind of offer. At any rate, you would not find that price there. You're right, for legal reasons, could not give you details of contact information otherwise. Autobrag is a good start, as it listed most reputable dealers who do business with them within 200 miles radius of your zip code. To save you some leg works, Colonial Honda quoted me an EX-L R&N  33508, but their internet manager is rude. He was anxious in getting my response, but then hung me out for 2 days with delay tactics (not in, not answering phone or email inquires). Finally when I got a hold of him, the unit was sold. I guess, the lesson is, once you got a good quote, they would want you to come in to haggle it out, whoever got there first. Spreen just have a Halloween special with 500 off written quote, so I got mine for 30008. Truth be told, I don't think it would be the lowest price (probably around 32k if there was Honda incentives 2500 again), but at 33K it was close enough (I figure I'd have to wait til next year for this to happen again). I didn't get the color the wife wants, but beggars could not be choosers. I email Weir Canyon Honda to see if they would match to save myself the drive. They responded too late (Spreen offers ran out today), but they were saying they could beat that price (for a Touring too). Since I already committed, I hope you find this lead useful. Spreen has an EX-L left, but more might come in. Check with them. No one else in OC would talk to you at that price. Best of luck. Thanx everyone for your input. |

I purchased a new 2009 Slate Green Touring without PAX yesterday with 5400 miles (dealer demo) for $35K including destination charge with the 2.9% financing. I traveled just over 2 hours to get to the dealer and he did not want to honor the $35K price with the 2.9% financing...he tried to say that price was only good if we didn't get that low APR. My husband became irate since I had been clear that I would agree to that price only if I would get the 2.9% financing incentive. Then they tried to low ball my trade but I stuck to my guns that I wanted KBB fair trade or the deal was off. I traded in a 2004 Honda Odyssey EXL with RES with 99K miles. They did match Saccucci Honda's warranty price but asked if they could charge $1 more to show a profit on their records. I agreed because I didn't have to hassle with the online ordering of the warranty and I was able to wrap it into my loan. The finance mgr showed me a print out that Saccucci quote of 84m/ 120k miles/ $0 deductible of $1160 is actually at dealer cost! I didn't go with the 8 yr/ 120K miles because I will definitely exceed the mileage in less than 7 years. I don't know if I would recommend this dealership...they didn't even vacuum the interior for us! The vehicle was clean but there was some small torn paper pieces in the back. The van came with mud flaps and wheel locks as well. I did find a dealer in my area that offered the 2010 Touring for $37500 (but had to be ordered) with 4.9% financing up to 72 months and a 2010 Silver RES and Nav EXL for $33,800 including destination (on the lot) only good thru the end of yesterday. I didn't want to wait for the van to be ordered in and wanted the extra options of the Touring with the lower 2.9 % interest rate so that is why I decided on the 2009 demo. Plus the dealer who offered the 2010 thought that the 2009 was a really good price instead of pushing his sale of the 2010. I know that in June people were getting better deals but I wasn't ready to buy back then.

| I almost forgot to ask...what all season floor mats would you recommend to protect the factory mats? I was leaning towards a clear mat because I don't know how gray would look with the olive interior and black mats show a lot especially salt from the winter roads! Has anyone tried the Exactmats? Thanks everyone who contribute to this forum. | |
| I have an 08 EXL that I purchased during 4k mfr to dealer incentive, my cash price for the 08 EXL was 25760.04, had it 13 months put 30k miles on it (did a lot of summer traveling) and backed into a dumpster causing 4k damage. Car was repaired by honda dealer. Car is otherwise flawless. The dealership called out of blue seeking to make a deal. I kinda have a relationship there cause I purchased two other odysseys there. Here it is.. they will give me $25500 for my 08, sell me an 010 EXL w RES for $32215. This includes fog lights, mug guards, pin stripe, cargo mat, and front windows tinted. Dealer fee is $399, tax is around $500. This creates a total difference to get the new car 7700ish dollars. Do you think this is a good deal? Does the 7700 dollars calculate to my approxiamate depreciation given the miles and the accident? I know the RES adds around 1500 dollars to the price of the car. Any other suggestions? | |
