EX or EX-L in Kansas City market??? by tkzv

I am going to be purchasing an EX or EX-L in the KC market within the week. Anyone have a dealer recommendation. I have a quote of $24,381 OTD for the EX and EX-L $25,729 OTD. The EX-L price seems a bit steep. And can anyone confirm that they have extended the $500 to the dealer through 9/6?
 
My thought is to take the lowest price I get and bounce back to them for $1000 less and see what happens. I guess the worse that can happen is they say no. Any thoughts?

bad, bad experience by irishrogue1

well this morning i spent two hours at landmark honda in alexandria, va arguing and getting baited back and forth between the salesperson and 2 managers all of whom claimed ignorance as to why the deal was going south. before i ever got there, they agreed to $750 under invoice (inc. dest). when i got there they tried every trick possible to get back up to invoice. they tweaked the monthly payment a bit. and then lied about paying the sales tax up front while at the same time rolling it into the lease! they cleverly kept saying that the sales tax would be paid up front as a cap cost reduction - so they werent technically double charging me for sales tax. after 2 hrs, i finally tore up the papers called the sales manager a liar, questioned how badly he must rip off uneducated consumers and walked out.
 
now i have to start all over at another local dealer.
 
it was THE worst buying experience i have ever had. i would rather they just refuse to sell a car under invoice because of their margins rather than dropping under and then trying to recover it through inflated doc fees, claimed sales tax prepayment, slightly higher interest rate, waived security deposits, saying the $595 fee was being paid up front when it was also rolled into the lease and on and on....

You should get the diminished value you lose from the insurance company. They have a formula that will pay to you the loss of value due to your van being refurbished. You may have to demand it though. Many people don't even ask for it because they are not aware it's available. Wife worked in insurance claims many years.

2004 or 2005 Odyssey? by aristotle

Hi all,
       Given the discounts on the 2004 Odyssey, is it better to get a 04 than an 05?
Will the 05 prices be as competitive? If not, is the 05 worth the wait and the extra money?
 
Or, is it better to wait till late September to make the decision? Will the discounts on the 04 models continue even in September?

The MSRP on 05 will be lower than 04 just like the 04 Siena versus 03 ones. But in the first few month 05 will go close to MSRP while 04 is now under invoice from $600 to $1200.
 
Whether 05 is worth the extra money depends how you like new features on 05. Go check out the future Odyssey thread in the Owner's club board.
 
You might not be able to find a 04 Odyssey in late September. Even if you locate one, the dealer that still has one is a greedy dealer to begin with.
 
If you can wait till November, get a Sienna at around invoice since everybody is eyeing the new Odyssey then. If you can wait till next Febuary, you can get a 05 Odyssey for about $1000 over invoice.

I suppose it's possible the MSRP could be lower but it's not a safe assumption so I wouldn't count on it.
 
My opinion is that the '04 is the "better buy" right now but if you think you'll regret not having the newer model when it comes out you might want to wait. I'm '04 shopping and this is one of my concerns.
 
As for the Sienna, right now to get one similarly equipped would run you several thousand $ more than the Ody which is why I've ruled it out. Toyota kills you with their options packages.

Just got quote from a dealer in Virginia...includes wheels locks and pin strips:
 
$26,514 Base +
$ 796 (3% VA Sales Tax)
$ 51 (county tax)
$ 189 (processing)
$ 51 (license & title)
$27,601 = OTD
 
Can I do better or is this a good deal?

Before the Sienna, Toyota was able to introduce new cars cheaper than previous generation models on several lines, including the Celica, Corolla, and Camry.
 
I don't know that much about the history of Honda and price changes from one generation to the next. Can you point to any instances where a new generation Honda was cheaper than the preceeding?
