Replying to: pka (Nov 16, 2004 6:10 pm) Try curryhondacare.com   They have very competitive prices and will e-mail you a discount code for $90 off the listed prices on their website.   I'm planning to buy a 7yr/75K with $0 deductible for $930 after discount, unless my local dealer wants to beat the price.   My father-in-law has purchased two warranties from them for his Pilot and Acura TL.

Replying to: kvm (Nov 16, 2004 2:09 pm) KVM - thanks for all your posts! I basically used your posts to work out an identical deal at Pocatello Honda. I'm now thinking whether to have it delivered or drive it back myself when it arrives mid Dec. Decisions...Decisions. Leaning heavily toward the transport option due to the snow going over the passes in mid-Dec. How did the van handle going through the passes? Replies to this message: kvm (Nov 17, 2004 9:56 am)

Replying to: cpstar (Nov 16, 2004 7:54 am) Which dealerships are you referring to? I'm looking for an Odyssey EX L/DVD. I do live in the Chicago area. Anyone else have any experience with local dealerships? Replies to this message: cpstar (Nov 17, 2004 9:21 am)
#6956 of 24381 Buying in MA by dacs Nov 17, 2004 (9:16 am)
First off, thanks to all who have shared their info. Really helpful. The folks at Clair Honda in West Roxbury offered us an EXL at $30k, which was the lowest we've found, so far. However, their offer for our trade-in was less than half of the bottom range from our used-car trade-in value research. Bernardi Honda in Natick offered us a higher trade-in value, but won't budge from a selling price of $30,810 plus $280 for doc fees. We're not in a rush so it'll be interesting to see if either one will reconsider. Will post again when the "experience" is over.

Replying to: erichl (Nov 16, 2004 10:59 pm) erichl - I am glad to hear that you got a better deal than the one you got in Seattle. I did look at your previous post and mentioned it to the internet sales guy when he followed up with me(he was glad that he was getting seious buyers). It handled the mountain passes very easily, smooth drive and excellent handling. However, I had to take it off cruise while going over the mountain passes to handle the curves and also there was no snow when I drove it back to Oregon. I was determined to save as much money as I can, just to see how much I could save if I could take the extra effort and also I had a lot of vacation at work that I needed to burn off. I did not fly into Pocatello directly. I flew into Boise, ID one way trip (cost me $65). Then I took a rental car for a one way trip from Boise into Pocatello (cost me $75) + fuel costs($15) and had to fill up the gas one more time on my way back (cost me $34). The drive from Boise to Pocatello is about 3 hours (230 miles) but the drive was absolutely gorgeous and I think it was worth it. In total I drove for about 12 hours (3 hours getting into Pocatello & 9 hours driving back). My day started at 4 am on 11/12 and I reached home by 12:30 am 11/13(just after midnight). I had a lot more fun spending 20 hours outside of my office cubicle than working 10 hours in my office cubicle. This year there was not a lot of snow and I am not sure whether this would change in mid Dec. It's a personal choice whether you want to save an additional $300-$400. Some of my friends mentioned that if they were in my position they would not take the additional effort and rather pay additional $'s as they are already saving some money anyway .Also, make a note that you can go and look at the condition of the vehicle & test drive it. Not to mention, you can meet the people at the dealership face to face. I drove mostly on I84 and its a truck route. I am assuming by mid Dec there might be some snow but it will be cleared pretty quickly. If you want to drive back, you might want to carry some snow chains (just to be sure) or probably buy it at the dealership or ask them to give to you for free.

You came through Boise and didn't buy me coffee and Krispy Kremes? Tsk tsk.   We do that drive now and then - my wife recently drove to Pokey for a meeting and said it reminded her of the Alaskan tundra with all the open country and the fall colors in the sage and rabbit bushes.   I84 does have occasional winter problems over there with blowing snow, drifts and lousy visibility, but the weather reports are pretty accurate.   Congrats on the new Ody!   Steve, Host Replies to this message: kvm (Nov 17, 2004 2:15 pm) isellhondas (Nov 17, 2004 2:47 pm)
#6960 of 24381 Buying over internet by farmer3 Nov 17, 2004 (12:16 pm)
Could someone give me pointers on how to bargain for a car over the internet?? Do you start with your low price or first ask the dealers what their best price is?? Any pointers would be helpful. I'm interested in a Touring w/ NAV&RES. Thanks! Replies to this message: kvm (Nov 17, 2004 1:57 pm)
#6962 of 24381 Buy a car from outstate by alancls Nov 17, 2004 (1:51 pm)
Hi, I am living in Northern California and I want to buy a EX-L from other states. (the price here is too high) but California DMV requires that all new car from outstate has to meet california emission standard. I don't know if the odyssey are different which is sold in california or other states? Replies to this message: kvm (Nov 17, 2004 2:02 pm)
