HI nkk219,
Curry Honda in Chicopee, MA will do 31,400 with $99 doc. for EXL RES/NAV. Commonwealth Honda in Lawrence will match if that is closer. I am still working to see if anyone will go lower. Hope this is helpful.

Things to be verified when the vehicle is delivered ? by nkk219

What are the things you suggest to check on the EX model before taking a delivery?
I am asking this because I got a couple very good quotes (near invoice) and when I tried to shop around and get invoice price at a different dealer. That guy suggested that no one will give a vehicle for that price and if someone is giving there is something wrong with the vehicle itself. Well kind of understood that its his gimmick but just want to make sure that car is in good shape before closing. I am not an expert please suggest any things to be extra careful of. I test drove the car going to buy its nice as any other odyssey. Please share any must check items. thanks.

I purchased an EX-L from Kelly Honda in Salem, MA in December. Started out w/ EX ended up buying EX-L. Both quotes were ~300 over invoice (including destination fee). Haven't had service yet, but their service program sealed the deal for me. Several of my friends have nothing but great things to say about their service. I shopped via email w/ Honda North, Bernardi Honda, Commonwealth Honda, Honda Cars of Boston, Herb Chambers,etc. Honda North has a similar service program. If you're willing to go to N.H., you may do better.
 
The service program includes, free lifetime inspection stickers (excluding the first one), free towing w/in 30 miles, loaner cars w/ appts., pick up and drop off your home or business w/in 10 miles, 5 free oil changes, $800.00 additional for your Honda trade in and a free 100k powertrain warranty.
 
My next door neighbor owns a Toyota dealership. Kelly worked hard for my business. They knew I was deciding between a Sienna and an Odyssey.
 
Good luck. Hopes this helps.

Turn signals, dim/brights, brakes, ignition, automatic doors, remote automatic doors, remote lock/unlock, electronics (radio, power windows, etc.), odometer reflects new vehicle, vin no. matches contract description, moonroof, seat function/stowage, spare tire present, interior lights, cruise control, ECO/VCM engine function, transmission up/down-shifts appropriately, fluids topped off, heat/a/c function to include rear area, seat-heater function, seat belt function, floor mats present, the list is illimitable but these were key points for me...and if we were talking EXL RES, I'd DEFINITELY recommend checking the RES function since the missing fuse for the Odyssey's RES seems too often to escape the dealers' pre-delivery inspections.

I forgot to mention that I got Kelly to install crossbars and wheel locks on the EX included in the quote for $25,850 (including destination fee) plus $154.00 doc fee.

EX-L w/ RES in San Jose California (Bay Area) by origami
Feb 10, 2005 (9:51 am)

Hi:
 
I finally bought my EX-L w/ RES from Menlo Honda in Redwood City. The color is Silver.
 
I was trying to get a van for $1000 over the invoice which non of the dealers around the Bay Area would go for. So I started looking in Southern California. The best price from Costa Mesa Honda (around Irvaine) was $1500 over invoice.
 
I took that price and corss-shoped around the Bay Area. Menlo Honda offered me $1600 over the invoice price + TTL. That came to about $30,600 + TTL. OTD I think it was about $34K. I figured I'd better buy it around here rather than flying to LA and driving the van back.
 
The experience was very painless. The finance manager was nice. He didn't push us to buy any extra warranty or anything although he offered it.
 
We went with Honda's financing with a rate of 3.99% initially. Then he said if we buy the paint protecter and the leather gaurd for ~$580 he'd give us a rate of 3.74%. With the paint and leather guard included, and the new rate, our payment was increased only $2 (from $516 to $518 per month for a 60 month term). So we took the paint and leather gaurd. I also asked them to install the third-row sunshades for $265.
 
After we bought the van, we test drove it!!! Yeah, I know.... But I had test driven this car at least 4 times before.
 
We are picking it up today since they still had to detail it and install the sunshades. The van had a total of 3 miles on it. It just arrived at the dealership. They also had another EX-L with RES in Silver and one witought RES in Silver.
 
I know other people are buying Odys around $100 to $500 over invoice around the country but dealers in the Bay Area simply don't go less than MSRP for some reason. I figured I could have bought one for $1000 over invoice if I waited another month. But with a second child due any day now, it is assuring that we have the van before the arrival.
 
If I couldn't get the Ody for this price, I would have bought a Sienna. The advantage of Sienna over Ody is that it has a wider 2nd row so my wife could have sat in between my to children's car seats. But with Ody, it is kind of tough. Also, I could have bought the Sienna for invoice.
 
Thanks again for all the usefull tips and information. I hope my 2 cents would help someone else. This is a great website.

Wound up paying $24,709.00 for an LX at Scott Honda. The price includes fog lights. There were two reasons for this. One was that they had the exact color combination we wanted and the other one was that the wife regards car buying the equivalent of a visit to the dentist. She was unwilling to drive to Delaware or to engage in any serious negotiations. She just wanted to be out of there as soon as possible. The sales guy obviously picked up on this and we were only able to get a few hundred dollars off his initial offer.
