My wife and I said we would get a minivan if pigs fly and hell froze over. Well, I guess that happened because we got an Odyssey on Sunday after our second kid. I'm not particularly proud of owning a minivan, but I am satisfied on the deal I got. I was expecting to pay invoice for the special lease offer from Honda, but I was pleasantly surprised to get a quote from internet sales at Carmichael Honda for over $1000 BELOW invoice. So my final deal on an EX-L was: $25019.94 cap cost $277.78 /mo for 23 mo ($297.92 incl tax) $20286.00 residual value (purchase option) $400.00 up front cost (includes 1st month payment and title/registration) 12k mi/yr I could have residualized the $400 so that I would have to pay $0 on delivery, but I wanted to stay just under $300 on the monthly payment. |

| Do the Honda factory supported lease deals include gap insurance? | |

Just picked up a 2004, Silver EX-L with Navigation for $26,740 + 595 lease acquisition fee. OTD price of $27,335 I leased it for 24 months, no cap cost reduction. Paid first month plus CA DMV fees. Pre-tax payment of $312.50 a month. This is based up on a .00106 MF, and a 68% residual. I probably could have bartered a little more on the residual as AHFC is using 72% in their current ad, but that is just for an base odyssey. The navigation cars are usually a couple of points less on the residual. This was done in Irvine, CA. Couldn't have been a smoother transaction. Price was quoted over the phone with their internet sales guy. Same numbers when I showed up at the showroom. No pressure for add on's with the F&I guy. |

We bought a new ODY today from Dick Hannah Honda in Vancouver WA across the river from Portland OR. We paid invoice, they threw in a anti-stain package that was already on the van and they gave me a reasonable trade-in on our 95 Civic. As to be expected we haggled a bit on the value of the Civic but it was all good natured and low pressure. Before I left they handed me a nice travel bag embroidered with their logo full of small gifts (pens, water bottle, key chains, nail clipper set, a nice owners manual case, pen and calculator set, free oil change coupon, and a nice Honda vest). Everyone I talked to seemed to like their job and the product they were selling. They all gave me the feeling that they were glad I was there and wanted to make sure I was completely comfortable with every step of the buying process. This was one of the best car buying experiences I have had; second only to when I bought my Lexus at Portland Lexus. |

For a EXL with Navi does $28880 OTD seem reasonable in the MAryland area? If not anyone around Maryland have a dealer suggestion? Thanks! |

| We just got our EX for 24,124+TTL. I love it! Got halfway between KBB and Edmunds said our trade was worth, so it seemed like a fair deal. It was all negotiated up front before we walked in the dealer Sat., but it still took FOREVER to get all the paperwork done and get our car. WHY do they do that? Seems like the salesman could have made another sale instead of wasting 2 more hours with us, but oh well! We love our new van! | |

Hey All- Been a year since I bought (2003 EX-L w/RES) and I thought I'd check in... First and foremost, its GREAT to finally see that people are getting better deals. Amazing to see what a little competition will do! And don't be ashamed about not getting that 2005 model. Remember that experience is on the side of all those boxy Ody late 2003 - 2004 models (my guess is - so will be the deals as well). BTW - when did Honda start offering the RES in the EX without the leather package?!?! Where we are at... - Just turned 21000 miles - all dealer serviced - Daughter baptized the paint one week after we brought it home - ran her bicycle handle across the passenger slider - Wife got hit in the front driver wheel - much to everybody's surprise, the only damage was to the aluminum rim that was replaced at the "hitters" expense... - Needed to have doors lubricated because of "metal on metal" sound (dealer fixed) - Had a couple of phantom door closing failures and occasional beeping (door alarm only - no dashboard light) inside as you were accelerating - not necessarily fixed - they just stopped happening after last fall (however, lubrication above may have helped the issue - the door affected was the driver's side slider) - one unidentified noise when the TCS light come on (won't see that until the next snowfall) Here are my "happy" points: -Mileage is just about as advertised 17/24 for our use on regular (87 Octane) unleaded gas... -FABULUOUS ride; especially loaded up and long trips - just awesome! -Extremely Kid friendly (cup holders, cleaning up spills off leather, the RES, etc.) - also - the RES has paid for itself by eliminating the phrase "Are we there yet?" Things that could be improved: - On windy days, the cabin needs the radio on a little louder... - Paint scratches VERY easily - almost too easily - and it really shows on the dark colors - buy a bottle of touch-up paint... - I do miss the split rear magic seat, however, I couldn't pass up the deal I got at the time (Invoice + $2) - I do have the brake linkage click - wish Honda could do something about this... Other notes: - One of the best pieces of advice I got off this site was the slow starting suggestion. If your Ody seemd to turn over more than it should during starting, try this: turn the ignition to the last position (RUN) prior the the cranking (START) position, let some of the idiot lights go out, THEN click to the START position. Since we started this routine, it starts almost immediately. - On buying an extended warranty... Wait until you are at the end of the first year of ownership or just under 12000 miles. Go back to the dealership and offer them COST for the 7/100000/0 ($861). I did this and they took it - no questions. Enjoy All! |

I wonder the same thing too. It was a night and day difference between my wife's purchase and mine. Her purchase went thru carsdirect.com and everything was prenegotiated (no tradeins, outside financing) And the internet sales guy has to 1) type the title and sales contract, 2) register the car and install the license plate, 3)get emission sticker, 4)verify insurance info. I drove the car off the lot in an hour. I spent almost 3 hours when I bought my own car under the same conditions (no trade, outside financing). I do find things will move faster if you go and sit in all the cars in the showroom, opening/closing doors. I was sitting in the MR2 spyer, popping the hood and the engine cover (hey! mid engine!), examining everything. I can see other sales people were getting annoyed. |
