I paid $32,000 for an 2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L with DVD and drove the car home yesterday. But a different dealer offered a quote for $30,890 through email today. The MSRP is $32,410. Would it be possible to get the difference back?

Some of you are doing quite well in negotiating deals. I purchased a EXL-RES for $31,800 inclusive of all car fees, still had to pay the registration fees to the state. No sales tax in Oregon. The deal happened Dec 21st. I felt some pressure to do a deal since my other car fell apart and I was borrowing a friend's car for a while. I could not find anyone who'd give me anything much than $500 off MSRP. I phoned most everyone in Portland, down to Yreka, up to Olympia, over to Coos Bay and Bend. Gresham Honda had a few in stock, did the best I could, I am envious of some of the deals back East. My deal came with VTR (vehicle theft registration), basically a dealer inspired extra insurance policy if the car is stolen...I felt a bit robbed myself. Also came with mug guards and a trunk liner. A few notes on the car, great pick up, have not noticed wind noise (perhaps because I drove a convertible for 13 years), no back problems at all as other people have rumored. I wish you all well, it's a great vehicle, my first mini van. Rob

We were contacted by a sales person from Honda World (Orange county near LA) confirming that he would provide us with the requested Odyssey EX L w/ R&N. Since we were living in San Diego, we were hesitant to travel for 2 hours one way with my pregnant wife to claim this. He however called us by himself and asserted the availability of the specified vehicle and that he will provide at a price lower than local dealers (MSRP). After confirming with him two more times and informing him of our arrival time we left for Honda World. We arrived there well within our mentioned time. To our dismay he did not have our vehicle. When I insisted that I am not leaving without it, he quoted $39610 (5K more than MSRP) with the justification that it was the current market price. Even after I mentioned that I was willing to negotiate, the dealer or the sales manager could not get me a vehicle at all. We waited for 2 hours until we received a firm NO and that they were not able to find the vehicle from any of their sources. I feel very disappointed and harrassed. Is there any thing I can do about this situation? I appreciate any advice. Thanks!!!

Replying to: hondaconvert1 (Dec 30, 2004 7:54 pm) adding the above options of >$1000 makes the deal $169 below invoice." The accessory prices you provided are list prices that include over a 100% dealer markup! You're still above invoice albeit by a small margin. Great deal! Really, most people are not aware that dealers make 100%-200% profit on parts and accessories. That and service is what makes them profitable, not selling cars at measly 2-5% over invoice. |

Please beware of them. They will offer lots of promises and will lure you to buy from them. After you buy they dont care about you. The sales people are not very knowledgeble and does not know what is going on in the dealership. I had to call them and let them know about the HFS APR, coupons on their web site etc. The standard answer that you hear from them is we will get back to you in a short while and you will never hear from them The Finance manager is very rude, they will not accept any financing and will force you to use their financing eventhough you have a better deal. These people are very rude. The salesperson made me drive 70 miles just to find out the trade-in value of a car I had, eventhough, i did not trade in the car. The car was not delivered on the same day, as they were not ready. I had to come the next day to pick up the car. They will be nice to you before you buy, and very unprofessional after you buy. DO NOT GO TO THEM. They are very bad. I never had this bad experience before in my car purchase.

Replying to: obrien040362 (Dec 30, 2004 4:35 pm) An EXL below invoice??? Right now, we have ZERO and all incoming ones have been pre-sold. The other stores in our area are in the same position!
