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.

#7459 of 20357 2005 ODY EX-Cloth Dallas, Texas by 101110101101 Dec 12, 2004 (6:23 pm)
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. Replies to this message: stacidallas (Dec 13, 2004 1:15 pm)
#7460 of 20357 Re: Timing question in SoCal [s2000fever] by obrien040362 Dec 12, 2004 (6:31 pm)
Replying to: s2000fever (Dec 12, 2004 4:03 pm) I don't think what time of the month matters, but all the car sources say it does matter. I got mine for $74.50 over invoice on December 10. I don't think it would be much cheaper on December 31.   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.

Replying to: obrien040362 (Dec 12, 2004 6:31 pm) While end of the month (or end of year) may matter to a particular dealer, it has been my experience that more important is the situation described above by obrien040362 - where the dealer is convinced that he is getting an "extra" sale, one that he would not otherwise get.   For reasons I don't quite understand, that seems to apply best when doing business long distance (or, at least, out of town).   If I was in the business, it seems to me it would best to treat every customer that way but, alas, most stores (certainly many of those in urban areas) don't feel that way, apparently believing the next customer is right around the corner.

Replying to: cccompson (Dec 12, 2004 7:19 pm) Wow! Thanks for the great feedback. I took my wife to two dealers today to scope out colors. We were able to see everything that we had been interested in and narrowed down to Ocean Mist, Sage Green, and Slate Green. Both dealers tried to push for a deal but neither had what I wanted. One brought in the Sales Mgr. who told me they could find one for me. Basically, what did I think about a $500 deposit and the van at MSRP. I told him that I would entertain a negotiation at about $2,000 below MSRP - this is what I see people paying for them. He thought that was strange as he was selling them all day at MSRP. (He had about 10 Ody's on the lot - 3 were base Tourings). I told him he should make sure he prays every night before he goes to bed that this continues. He also told me couldn't keep the Tourings on the lot so go figure. Next thing out of his mouth was $500 under MSRP. I left my cell # but advised not to call me unless he wanted to deal at my terms. Going forward, I will only make contact via email. I didn't want to visit the lots but I had to make a color decision. NOTE: One dealer was owned by Sonic and the other by Autonation, both publicly traded companies and both have a 12/31/04 quarter end/year end. I can only imagine that there will be a push to make quaterly and year-over-year numbers - both were down in total revenues for 2003 vs. 2002.

#7465 of 20357 05 Ody EX in Memphis, TN by veej Dec 13, 2004 (9:48 am)
Just picked up 05 Ody EX for $26,200 (plus $289 processing/docu fee, tax, tag,etc.) includes splash guards, mats, wheel locks, destination fee.   Other dealer promised to throw-in free oil changes/car washes for a year for the same price. But had already decided to go with the previous.   Prices are coming down, good luck!!!
