Get in touch with cccomposon to find out where there is a dealer selling the Touring RES/NAV at invoice, which sounds like a pretty incredible deal (see post 8382). Keep us posted. |

I just picked up a new 2005 Odyssey EX today. I also purchased the all-season mats, but I was very surprised when the sales person told me they only covered the front and middle rows. The back row (3rd seat) has NO all-season mat. This seems very strange, especially for a minivan where all 3 rows are generally used. Can anybody else confirm this?

Replying to: scottyb (Feb 04, 2005 9:02 pm) My point though was that many here have extolled the virtues of this store (including myself based on other posts) yet when I approached them my reception was, to say the least, chilly. |

Replying to: moondance (Feb 04, 2005 8:24 pm) If a refund is refused (and depending on the amount) it might even be worthwhile to just abandon the transaction altogether. Forget about MSRP and come on up to Ohio - there are two stores here offering to sell me a Touring R&N at invoice (a good $5000 less than your number) right now. While I don't feel free to identify them until I conclude matters, College Hills Honda in Wooster (near Akron in NE Ohio) is offering all in-stock Odysseys at 1 cent over invoice for the rest of this month. See the home page of their website for their Odyssey inventory. They told me just yesterday they will pre-sell any coming in at $500 over invoice. While they do not have any R&Ns in stock, a couple (a silver EX-L and a white Touring) are scheduled to be built this coming week and some others are on tap for March. The Tennessee market must be rough for consumers now. A Memphis dealer offered a black/black Touring R&N on ebay last week for a "buy now" price that was $2000 over MSRP. I looked for the ad again last night and it was gone so perhaps they got that price - yikes! |

What are these going for in the Washington DC area? Since LX's are relatively rare, does that mean the price is lower or higher (relative to invoice) than for the more common Odysseys? I've seen quotes at around $24,300 for an LX with no options. Is this a good price? Edmunds what others are paying is $25,365 which seems unbelievable high.

| Just wanted to post our experience - we live in Florida where Touring Odysseys with DVD and RES have been extremely hard to come by. We had been trying to get the van since mid-November. There hasn't been one to be found until recently - and we have searched statewide. One that we could have had in December would have cost $4000 above MSRP, and, forget about getting anything close to invoice price. We resigned ourselves to MSRP as that's what everyone was basically offering, and the van is so hard to get. The van does seem to be getting slightly easier to find now, as the day we were buying it, a couple of other dealers called to tell us that they had one. Oh well, we had to act quickly as we are expecting a third child in a couple of weeks. So, to complete the story, we bought the van at Duval Honda in Jacksonville. It was an ok experience. We got it for $500 under MSRP with a $279.00 dealer fee (which was a couple of hundred less that a lot of dealers were charging). They didn't throw in any extras. I think we lost out on our trade-in - a 1998 Acura TL with 85,000 miles, in very good condition. They gave us $4700. We new that Carmax may give us a couple of hundred more; but, that was basically the tax savings. And, we live in Orlando, so we didn't really want to drive two vehicles back from Jacksonville. | |
