#7003 of 24381 Re: Would like to buy close to invoice [cheyenne] by luvmy05ody Nov 19, 2004 (10:06 am)
Replying to: cheyenne (Nov 18, 2004 4:47 pm) Good luck. I had been a long time GM owner, and almost always paid less than $100 over invoice. But not with Honda. They are really marketed towards a different type of buyer. I bought my '05 Odyssey EX-L for about $1000 below MSRP ($810 off MSRP + Wheel locks and Splash Guards thrown in), and I even attmepted to leave because I wanted a better deal. In the end, the dealer felt strong that they could sell to somebody else and make even more money than the $3,000 +++ on me. I caved, because the vehicle is just awesome! I suggest that if you want the Odyssey, try and get the best deal of course, but do not threaten to leave. The dealers at this point don't care!!! And, as we get closer to Christmas, there will be fewer vans available because the Honda plant in Lincoln, AL will be shut down for two weeks in December. Check out the True Cost to Own analysis on this Website. It really hit home with me when comparing the Ody to others in its' class. Good luck again. Let us know how you do.

Replying to: icecream (Oct 25, 2004 4:39 pm) I got all the informations that I needed to know. By comparing to Dcs or Scoutleader's informations, you got a good deal from Bedford Bros Honda. I have E-mailed Bedford Bros Honda. The seleswoman gave me $950.00 off the MRSP. I want to know that how much did you get the price from them? Would you please let me know the breakdown price please? I am looking forward to buy EX-L. Thank you very much both of you (Dos and Scoutleader). Those are very helpfull informations, and save my times to check with every dealer. Once again, thank you very much.

from my looking in the Phila area (the jersey side), the internet quotes are still likely to be MSRP, but they do have vans in stock. If (the big if) you find something in stock, as opposed to a 3 month pre-order, you can negotiate.   You have to be prepared to make a legitimate offer, and do so real haggling. You'll get the "hot item, MSRP, etc." spiel, but if you are serious and firm, and somewhat reasonable, you should be able to make a deal.   Don't walk in and ask for invoice. Just Bobst on in, offer, say, 1K off MSRP take it or leave it, and you should leave happy.

Replying to: luvmy05ody (Nov 19, 2004 10:06 am) Sorry Cheyenne, thought you were in Wyoming. Try the dealer in Laramie, quoted me $36500 out the door but it would have to be ordered from the factory, managed $250 better in Greeley (touring, dvd/nav black, black leather. Quoted $37000 out the door from dealer near Mall of Georgia, and $37250ish from around Denver
#7011 of 24381 Factory Rationing of Touring Models? by eseelig Nov 19, 2004 (3:17 pm)
After much agonizing, my wife and I have decided to go with an Ody over a Sienna. We're in no particular hurry, and it looks like to get the one we want (Touring, Navi/RES, Midnight Blue) we'll have to order it. I'd like to shop around an offer of invoice +5%, noting that the deal requires minimal effort on the part of the dealer and, as I'll pick up the van the day it arrives, virtually no inventory cost.   In the absence of any supply shortage (real or factory imposed) this should be a no-brainer. A couple of dealers have told me, however, that Honda is currently rationing the touring models, and I know that the demand is quite high. I can see this making my offer much weaker.   Anyone know anything about rationing? Does it apply to specific customer orders or just general dealer stock purchases? If it isn't real, (or even if it is), any chance of making the above offer work? I'm in the Chicago area, but willing to drive a couple of hours to find the right price.   Thanks, Eric Replies to this message: heywood1 (Nov 19, 2004 6:45 pm)

Can any of the previous posters of Bedard Bros experience post their ultimate experience? Did the purchase go as smoothly as expected? Any hiccups?   Thanks in advance... Replies to this message: pka (Nov 19, 2004 3:42 pm) psuwife (Nov 20, 2004 3:34 pm)
