If you're happy with the 03 and can live with the thought of it being "damaged goods", then keep it. Financial reasons aside, you might want to wait to see how you like the 05 once it comes out.
#5309 of 24381 Bought EX-RES in Phoenix today by vinnyny May 23, 2004 (10:57 pm)
I bought my EX RES from Showcase Honda in PHX for $1,000 under invoice ($24,449). I paid $300 for stripes, tint, tire pressure monitors, and the standard "mop & glo" treatment (they wanted $995). They threw in mud guards too.   The trade-in was a 2003 Mazda Tribute with 26k miles and a dent in the tail for $16.4. Edmunds lists it at about 15.4 trade-in and 16.7 private party.    The salesmen were great--helpful and courteous. The overall experience was excellent with none of the BS back and forth with so-called "managers". I had to tell the finance guy to get off the extended warranty pitch three times before he gave up, but he was great otherwise. I'd definitely recommend these guys to a friend...

Replying to: gismap (May 20, 2004 8:55 am) You should be able to negotiate between $500 and $1,000 below invoice on an EX-L RES. I would not pay a penny more at this time. I recently checked on an extended warranty for my '03 Ody and the pricing/negotiating seems to be about the same as at the time of purchase.   Curious . . . what did you get for your '96 T&C? I traded my '96 DGC-LE with 114,000 miles in it this past September for our Ody. I tried to sell it for about 6 weeks and had zero luck. I took $2,700 for it on the trade. Originally paid $25,200 for it in 9/96. OUCH!! Being previously a Toyota owner only, this was major depreciation shock for me.   We have 12,000 miles on our '03 Ody EX-L and really like it. You might pick up the latest Car & Driver magazine for the minivan comparison test if you are still trying to decide between a Sienna and Ody. The old Ody edged out the new Sienna!!   Good luck with your purchase. Replies to this message: gismap (May 24, 2004 9:05 am)

Replying to: rbell2 (May 24, 2004 4:06 am) In regard to the T&C, I put an ad in the local paper for 3 weekends. I got one call on Easter Sunday, but the person did not come by. The price at that time was $5500. Three weeks after the first ad, I put another one in and listed it at 5100. After no calls the first week, I dropped it to 4550. I also posted it on Autotrader.com. I began to get some calls and finally, last week, two people came to see it. I sold it for 4200 in the end. It was a very clean van, in good shape having had a transmission and brake system overhaul. Interestingly, in about 4 weeks now, I did not have one call from the Autotrader site.   I have asked for prices from about 10 dealers, including the Sam's Club representative. The requests were sent this morning. So far, the best offer is the invoice price, including the destination charge, which comes to about 500 below invoice.
#5312 of 24381 New 2003 Odyssey! by cpu May 26, 2004 (5:34 am)
I found out a dealer has 9 2003 Odyssey's. Amazing to me. What would be an acceptable price, anybody have an idea? When 2005s come out they would be 2 years old, but new! Thank you very much! Replies to this message: mcbski (May 26, 2004 6:11 am) robr2 (May 26, 2004 7:19 am)

Replying to: cpu (May 26, 2004 5:34 am) Well, keep in mind the immediate depreciation on 04 models, let alone 03s. When the 05 Ody hits the market, those 03s will be even harder to get rid of and I suppose they still count against the dealer's allocation of 05s. If a good deal on an 04 is $500-$1K under invoice, maybe shoot for $2K under invoice on the 03? All IMHO, of course...

Replying to: cpu (May 26, 2004 5:34 am) I don't think I'd trust a dealer with 9 leftover 03 Odys. IIRC, they were still selling at MSRP in certain areas last year.   "Yep - we found 'em out back. Can't believe we lost 'em either!!"
#5315 of 24381 Re: ME TOO! EX-RES for $24,548 with destination!! [scojo #5242] by lj225 May 27, 2004 (5:47 am)
Replying to: scojo (Apr 20, 2004 7:10 pm) Hey great deal you got there. Who is the person I should call? Can you give me the info? I live in SI, NY and was thinking about going a little out of my way for one BUT this is a BETTER deal and closer . If I can get the same deal, I just may bite the bullet. I do have an 00 Altima to trade, and prob would try Cap one for the loan. I hope you see this prior to this weekend as it would be a good time to take a ride over. Thanks in Advance.

#5316 of 24381 dealer incentive ending by ericwi May 28, 2004 (6:21 am)
May 31 is the deadline for the $ 500.00 dealer incentive on the 04 ody. Does anyone know what will be for June ?
#5317 of 24381 ending by jmess May 28, 2004 (7:16 am)
I would say it can only get better. Most large dealers have 30-40 Odys in stock. The incentives and lease deals have helped move some vans but the supply still exceeds the demand.
