I purchased a silver gold color at 29K + tax & title from Stockton Honda. Its about $1810 off MSRP. It may not be the best deal around, but i think its one of the better deals in bay area since most dealers couldnt match this price. I recommend Stockton Honda to all of you. Great guys. Very professional. (They even offered to drive my car back home just incase i couldnt find a friend to take me to stockton). For bay area Honda buyers i suggest the below method. It worked best for me: 1) Shop around with local dealers first (Autowest -Fremont, San Leandro Honda, Southbay Honda are more reasonable. Stevens Creek, Larry Hopkins, Andersons are the more greedy ones -- watch out for them). 2) Use edmunds to shop around peripheral areas. Concord, Vacaville, North SFO, Stockton, Selma Honda etc. These places are within 100-150 miles (roughly 2-3 hrs) & can save u upto $500 bucks. 3) Push the local dealers as well as remote ones to match each other's prices. I started with the cheapest price of around 30K. Then i got one of the dealers to agree on 29.8K. Two weeks later i was able to bring it down to 29.5K. After some more haggling i got 29K. 4) Cash in on the color. Like dealers cash in on the color of your preference, u too can cash in on the color thats not your first choice. Tell the dealer u will deal only if u get a big discount since its not your first choice color. (I got 500 off because of this) 5) Cash in on christmas time. Its the dullest week for car dealers. People are busy travelling. Dealers get their fresh supply in Jan they need to get rid of their inventory now. Happy car shopping. BTW, we love every bit of our new Odyssey! |

| I have a newly "permitted" teen and was going to shop for an EXL NAV/RES in the spring as I will be needing another vehicle. However, I find myself wanting one sooner - like now! I have been religiously reading posts in this forum and have noted that some say to wait toward the end of the month and some say now is time with the holidays, etc. I know that the model that I want is in the most demand but I am now starting to see them in the local dealer's online inventories, many of which seem to be increasing in total number of Odysseys available. I am in SoCal and have +- 30 dealers within a 30-40 mile radius and was considering an email blitz. I have narrowed down the color choices to three and am hoping on taking my wife to a dealer or two today to finalize that piece. So, what's the consensus regarding timing? For the right price, I can take delivery today or in two months. Thanks! PS - several local dealers will sell or order for MSRP but I know that I can do better. | |

I bought this vehicle from Dover Auto World in New Hampshire. Here is the breakdown of my purchase. Vehicle price 30,964.00 Add ons 330.00 splash guards trunk tray wheel locks dealer fee 229.00 7 year 75,000 880.00 honda care warranty w/ 50$ deductible Total out the door price $32,403 plus tax and tags to be paid at the DMV. Left with a 20 day temporary registration. Very laid back dealership. Nice people. No pressure. I dealt with the internet saleswoman. I also found good pricing at Autofair Honda in Manchester, NH. Check out there pricing right on line. Good Luck and happy shopping. |

Not the best deal I've seen, but considering this was my 4th dealership to visit and it was 400 miles from home I'm happy. Base: $27,150.00 Addons: Tint, Digishield, Scotchguard. $450.00 Tax: $1,725.00 Dealers Tax: $69.69 Doc Fee: $50.00 Reg Fee: $60.80 Title: $33.00 County Road Bridge: $10.00 Total OTD: $29,570.24 Lots of high pressure sales once into the finance office. Service Agreement, Tire/gap/life/lojack crud. They tried the old look it only raises your payment by $67/month! Gack, I nearly fell out of my chair. Guess you just have to blow it off and stick to your guns. Finally got 4.3% from Honda after telling them I'd use my e-loan powercheck at 4.55% Just like everyone else on this board, I love this vehicle. First time I've not purchased a GM vehicle. May never go back.

Replying to: s2000fever (Dec 12, 2004 4:03 pm) You best negotiating tool your have is TIME. You can offer invoice +100 and stay firm but keep the negotiations open. I offered $74.5 over invoice +126.5 for doc,title & tag fees and got it. I had basically one week to buy a car (windstar blew a head gasket) but I never let them know that. When they decline your offer respond to their e-mail restating you SAME offer and keep the negotiation open buy stating what they gain. They gain a sell to someone who normally would not visit their lot along with the dealer hold back and one more car sold to help with future Honda alotments. Make sure include documentation fee and other dealer charges in you offer. Regarding special order. There is no reason to special order a Honda since Honda really doesn't offer any options. With other manufactures such as Toyota I would always special order my vehicle. This way I get exactly what I want on the car. Last year I special ordered a Camery at the beginning of the model year (i.e. no rebates) for $200 over invoice. This is the only way I could get a Camery with leather, and with out sunroof, upgraded radio and side air bags. So I got a good price over invoice and saved on the options I did not want.
