ellenm, I've heard/read good things about Sussman and Sloan. I'd recommend going to hondacars.com and doing a dealer search on Philadelphia. Send emails to 20 or so dealers asking for their best price on the EX and go from there. Edmunds also has a price quote tool you could try. Whatever you do don't pay more than $1,000 over invoice in this area, and you can probably do better than that. Good luck.

"I am looking to purchase a 7 Year / 75,000 Mile extended warranty for the Odyssey. I have been reading that some people can get it for under $800. I was wondering if anyone who think they got a good deal on the extended warranty can give me the name of the dealer that they purchase the warranty from."
I just bought ours from Pohanka Honda in Salisbury, Md. It was $795 for the 7 yr/75K miles. Sorry board host for not putting this in the EW thread. I'm just an innocent responder!

"What did you sign? Most dealerships will give you back your deposit and let you walk away. but you're not going to make any friends at this dealership."
Got that right. I had a $500 deposit at a local dealer last fall and then negotiated an offer that saved me almost $2K from a dealer in Colorado Springs 90 minutes away. Asked the local dealer to match and then even split the difference, but no dice. Bought van in CS. I had told the local dealer they could send me my $500 deposit check, but then decided to call the bank and do a "stop check" because I suspected this might get ugly. I never heard from the local dealer again, and never saw my check again. To me, it was worth the $28 stop check fee to avoid the hassle.

Go to post 8355 in this discussion. Dick Brooks in Greer SC received good comments. Haven't heard a lot of good things about eastern NC. Toe Raleigh area is tightly held by a few owners. I.E. Leith Honda, Leith Toyota, Leith Dodge, Leith Chevrolet, Crown Honda, Crown Ford, etc, you get the idea. Maybe Davenport Rocky Mount or Vester in Wilson but have only heard a few things on each.
If you hear anything firm please post as there has been little info for this part of the country.

Stop check a good idea, but if you legally owed them the $500 they could have taken you to small claims court? But then again I doubt a dealership would do that over $500...don't know.

Herb chambers was quoting $550 over invoice, but it was tough to get a price commitment in writing.

Not likely they would for a variety of reasons - the main one being that the only monetary loss they would suffer is if they end up selling the vehicle for a lesser amount. In that event the defaulting buyer would be responsible for the difference between the (breached) contract price and the eventual selling price - likely a small amount.

Sorry for this late reply to your inquiry but have you tried "Sam Swope Honda World" in Louisville? I recently purchased an EXL RES for 500 + invoice there. Swope also sells extended warranties almost at cost. On the other hand, a sales manager at Neil Huffman offered $400 + invoice when I told him, by phone, that I had 500 + invoice in hand at Swope. But I didn't feel like driving across the river for his shoddy $100 discount (he should've been more aggressive if he wanted to intercept Swope business). Nevertheless, this story should demonstrate a willingness on the part of area dealers to deal within a few hundred dollars of invoice for EXL-RES Odysseys. Hope this helps! Good luck!
