RES stands for rear entertainment system. Honda has made some special Odysseys' where the RES is included as a value special for little or no additional price. The best price I can obtain in Middleburg Heights, OH for one is $ 25,448. The L stands for Leather. So, the EX-RES is for the "value" Odyssey with cloth seats.
Hope that helps.

04 EXL in Tampa Bay - $25,8 w/ $499 docs? by wifeoncase

First post. Carsdirect has given me the best with 25,872 (incl. $490 dest) but they want $499 for doc fees for a pre-tax walk out around $26,500. Dude from CD.com claims that's "normal" for FL, an unregulated doc state. Will CD.com budge at all? Seems like an easy way to dodge all the BS, but not if they tack on stupid stuff like this. Or should I just take their price and go to a couple of dealers and play the game?

Welcome to Town Hall.
 
$499 is nuts for a documentation fee
 
But if the out the door price works, focus on it (maybe with some free accessory thrown in?) and don't worry too much about the line items.

I figured as much. so a) Can I work that 499 with CD.com? and b) if I disregard that and ask for some throw-ins, what kind of extras are good to have on an '04 Odyssey? I think I've heard wheel locks on here? Anything else good to help recoup that 500?
 
Also, if anyone has bought with CD.com or similar method, is the promised "30 minutes at the dealer" for real? And is it hassle-free as well.

My3boys,
 
Please email the sales man's name and phone number at Northwest. I am ready to buy an EX-L RES.
 
Thanks

Honda Care Warranty by geneta

Folks,
 
On the short lived "Warranty" message board, a question was asked about a Honda warranty. First of all, you don't need to buy the warranty until the last month of your current warranty -- just hold on to your money.
 
However I do have a good source, in the Washington, DC area a local consumer magazine, Washington Consumer's Checkbook (www.checkbook.org) lists on page 95 of the fall 2003/winter 2004 issue a listing of dealerships for the best prices for a variety of auto manufactures.
 
Checkbook's staff got the dealerships to agree to a modest markup (Honda is only $100 over cost). For Honda you need to contact Grand Honda in Elmhurst, IL. Regardless of where you live, you can call the dealership and arrange by phone or by mail to purchase the service contract. When you call (ask for finance manager), explain that you want the markup the dealer committed to for listing with "Consumers' Checkbook." If you don't subscribe to Checkbook, please send them a donation by hitting checkbook's site for saving you some $$$. Hope you find this helpful!

2003 odyseey by mom

I have been hoping someone would talk about prices paid for a new 2003 ody. The salesman said a new car is a new car. Since this dealership has many 2003 and 2004 Ody's in stock, shouldn't I be able to get a better deal on a 2003? Any thoughts would be appreciated. First time writer.

Someone brought this up before and if I recall the response was that the dealer should not have any 2003's left. That was a time when Odyssey's commanded good prices ans should have sold themselves, as opposed to selling "below invoice" now. You might want to investigate further.

The dealer according to his inventory posted on the website has 20 2003's. Seems like alot of inventory.
