Replying to: dd3 (Jan 10, 2005 11:34 pm) Asking what dealerships others worked with in the Bay area and what they paid will get you the same deal. Yes, there are fees you should not pay (window etching, etc).   Here's a few guidelines: -Use the dealer locator tool on the site and email out to dealers. Tell them the model you are looking for and specify NO DEALER ADD-ONS (i.e. unless you really want $500 pinstripes that are $30 stickers...). This also includes no accessory add-ons by the dealer such as roof rack (check out the H&A banner near the top of the page and price out the accessories so you know the price of each and compare it to what the dealer may want to charge you...in many cases you are better off buying from H&A and putting in/on the accessory yourself).   -Know the numbers from the dealership before you go in for a test drive. Print out any communication and take it with you.   -Extended warranty - this price is negotiable! Read back in this discussion and you can see what others have paid. Also - you don't have to buy this when you buy the van. You can purchase from any dealership within a certain time/mileage on the vehicle (help me out here folks...)   All in all - read the articles on the site about 10 Steps in Buying New Car. They go over the various fees to watch out for, etc.   Good luck! And save yourself the $300-$500, get a deal where YOU KNOW all the numbers. That $300-$500 can come in handy during the rainy season in the Bay Area (i.e. sandbags)

Just a follow-up. Picked the Van up earlier this week all paperwork in order no surprises. I am pricing the extended warranty elsewhere. Paid $613 above invoice for the van. Based on some posts here looks like invoice is becoming the norm. I struck the deal with Middletown Honda in NY.

Replying to: denver5357 (Jan 11, 2005 6:49 am) Denver.... The warranty coverage appears to be solid and comprehensive. If you go to www.curryhondacare.com, I believe that you will see a full breakdown of what is covered (inc. rental car, reimbursement for overhingt accomidations - both under certain circumstances), etc. I know others who have purchased in the past - not many experiences (it's a Honda) but generally were satisfied. I normally don't buy these but with Nav/Res, VCM, etc., and the fact that I keep cars a long time, I thought that it was a small proce to pay. I hope that I never need to use it.

Replying to: ashkash (Jan 10, 2005 9:56 am) Sorry to hear about your experience. I am sure there are good ones out there. Some are just terrible and unethical.   I would send a letter to the general manager and Honda about (a) the business manager's conduct; (b) his subsequent threat to you, including his alelgation that he had made the tape.   In addition, I will send a letter to him directly with a "cc" copy to Honda and the general manager, demanding a copy of any tape recording made of your conversation, the dealership's policy regarding recording and treating business calls with customers and the specific authority for allowing him to make a tape recording (presumably without your approval and without telling you that he was doing it).   It depends on the law of your state. But, unauthorized recording can (but may not always) be a violation of some statutes.   If you are really aggrieved and don't get proper apologies or action, perhaps you can also contact your state's Attorney General's consumer fraud division (it may be called something different in your state) at least to start an investigation.   I am all for these guys make as much money as possible. After all, it is business. But, some go too far, beyond what is ethical and, sometimes, legal.   Go get him so that he will not do that to another (and perhaps weaker) consumer again.

#8037 of 24381 Re: Market Condition for Touring w/ NAV/RES [bucktown] by bucktown Jan 11, 2005 (8:19 am)
Replying to: bucktown (Jan 03, 2005 11:01 pm) Since my initial post on this issue, I have done more research and found out that the market is a lot better now than 2-3 months ago.   I have gotten four written offers (all located within 20 miles of my house) within a week for a Touring with NAV/RES and cross bars, cargo tray & net and 3rd row sunshade in the range of $36,750 to $37,575 (including destination charges) with varying availability in color and delivery (in stock to 6-12 weeks after ordering).   The MSRP (with destination charges, but before any options) is $38,810. So, the prices are coming down -- slowly but surely. In October and November, at least in Chicago, dealers were getting MSRP on Touring and would not budge a bit.   If you are willing to wait for the car and simply order it now(something you may have to do if you have a strong color preference), you will do okay.

#8039 of 24381 San Diego Odyssey EX prices by gagrice Jan 11, 2005 (9:57 am)
I have only checked with one dealer in El Cajon, CA. He is charging $3000 dealer mark up over the MSRP price for an EX-L with NAV/RES. He also has an HAH on the lot for $3000 over MSRP. If anyone is looking for a bad deal on a Honda. Replies to this message: happysocal (Jan 12, 2005 6:49 pm) s2000fever (Jan 12, 2005 9:30 pm)
#8040 of 24381 Re: Good dealership In WV or OH for EX-L RES & NAV ? [astrosmurfboy] by cccompson Jan 11, 2005 (2:56 pm)
Replying to: astrosmurfboy (Jan 10, 2005 9:14 pm) There have been a number of posts here about very good experiences with some stores in NE Ohio: Classic Honda in Streetsboro; Park Honda in Akron; Jay Honda in Bedford, and The Honda Store in Youngstown.   All are within 3 or so hours of Parkersburg (I think).   Also, although I didn't buy from them, I got a pretty good quote a few years ago at the Honda dealer (can't recall the name) in Athens, Ohio, so they might be worth contacting too.
