Yes, the 490 destination charge is included.
 
Actually, O'Donnell Honda would only agree on 26,200 before I showed them the e-mail from Honda of Bowie. Their sales manager sat down with me and did the math which I showed in my first post. He showed me 26090 is his "REAL" cost on the van.
 
I don't think he will agree on 26K again if you do not have proof from other dealers. However, I think you should easily settle for 26200 (about 100 over his real cost).
 
If you have kids, I would recommend the leather seat, but not if you have pets.
 
Good luck for your new van.

Wow, 26,000 included destination charges. You got a good deal! I don't have any pets. So maybe I will look into the leather. Do the children's carseats do anything to the leather? What colors did they have left when you bought?

I believe they still have two other red, 3 Seige, a midnight blue, several sandstone and a white one. I think that's it. It's a pity that they do not have any "light blue" left. As far as I know, only Criswell in Germantown has some "light blue" left. No other dealers that I know of have this color.
 
Like I said, if you can show them you are able to get a good price from other dealers, I think they will definitely match or beat the competitors. In fact, the internet sales from Honda of Bowie said they would definitely match the price I got from O'Donnell.
 
My suggestion to you is that try to get one dealer to agree on 26250 (or so). Show the e-mail to another dealer and ask them to beat the price. I'm sure you can find a similar deal.
 
Good luck!

What was bad about the Ourisman Laurel experience? I have a quote from there that seems great over the phone.

If I am figuring correctly, the sale price of $26380 would be $1090 below invoice. Assuming typical dealer fees and taxes, the out the door price would be about $28,000.
 
Can you provide your final out the door price for this van? Did the price include any accessories?

A couple of thoughts on leather in the Ody (I own a '03 EX-L) . . .
 
For the Ody, I found the leather seats to be much more comfortable than the cloth seats. Sit in both and judge for yourself. The cloth seats were very boardy compared to the leather - the 3rd row was the worst.
 
As far as leather and children, the main watch out is the leather getting poked with something sharp. Food/spills, etc. are actually easier to deal with than cloth seats. As far as child seats - we always put an old bath towel folded up under them to keep from making permanent impressions into the leather surface or cushions. We have had no regrets with the leather. Leather will also generally hold up and look better than cloth when you try to sell the van years later.
 
Good luck - $26,100 would be an awesome deal on a EXL-RES.

Thanks for all the great information. Leather seats do sound nice. My Honda Accord cloth seats are definitely suffering with juice spills and such after 8 years. I will try and get the Oddy EX-L with RES for a good price tomorrow. Wish me luck.

EX-L Offer by mcbski

Was quoted 26,322 for an EX-L with some of the usual dealer add ins i.e. mud/splash guards, wheel locks, cargo tray. No cross-bars, have to get those separate...says after their add-ons the invoice goes up to 26,7xx and at 26,322 I'd be getting it 400 less than they paid (still 200 over Honda invoice). Yawn. At any rate, it's better than anything I've seen out here and not too bad for an area with only 3 dealers. We'll see if the deal holds water tomorrow...

Just bought 2004 EX-L RES yesterday by rlzmoffat

Just bought a Silver 2004 EX-L RES yesterday at Gardena Honda in southern California
 
Price: 26,347
Final Out the Door: 28,800
 
It had 6 miles on it and they threw in free wheel locks ($50 value I beleive). This one also had a cassette player. We had an offer for 28,700 from Norm Reeves in El monte but the car didn't have the cassette player and no wheel locks. We are happy. Prices may continue to soften as fall approaches but we felt inventory may become selective so we opted to buy now. We got everything we wanted! Good luck to everyone!
