I bought an EX-L + DVD (Ocean Mist) at Yuba City Honda for 29986 + TTL. By my calculation that's invoice + $999.00. I contacted the dealer via the internet and received the quote. I solicited quotes from dealers in the Bay Area and LA, Yuba City was by far the lowest. I had to wait a couple of weeks before they were able to locate the color I was interested in. Yuba City is a 2-3 hour drive from San Jose. I didn't shop the Yuba City quote around to Bay Area dealers. I'm sure that exercise would have been a waste of time. Although Anderson Honda of Palo Alto did call me while I was driving to Yuba City. Anderson never gave me a written quote but they kept calling me and offering to take a $500 deposit for the opportunity to pay MSRP. It was sweet satisfaction to tell them about Yuba City. When I asked if Anderson would match the Yuba City offer, he said he'd get back to me in a day or two. I kept on driving and Anderson never called back.

Replying to: devanman (Mar 02, 2005 10:59 am) Anderson Honda has been calling me ever since I took a test drive last Sept when the car just came out. I have been getting words from sales person from "$1000 below MSRP" to "$1500 over invoice" for an EX - cloth. I will wait for a while and hope to see price drop down. |

| I'm making progress on pricing - I'm getting quotes for any of the 4 - EXL, EXL with DVD, EXL with DVD and NAV, and Touring with DVD and NAV (strange but Touring wo DVD and NAV is harder to find). However, it's coming close to me having to choose, and I must admit I might be tempted to go with Touring w DVD and NAV because it's been a challenge to get a great price, and I don't want that to be the ONLY reason why I go for that trim. Any thoughts on what's the best out of the 4 for the money, resale value, etc? Is Touring really worth it? Why is everyone going crazy for that trim and making these dealers say stuff like "that's the only trim we won't heavily discount"? Is it the better sound system, the power tailgate, the tires, the console????? Thanks! | |

Replying to: hmb1 (Mar 02, 2005 2:01 pm) here are my arguments for each: EX-L: Low cost, lower demand than DVD/Res = lower price, can easily add a $800 sony DVD. This one can be got at Invoice EX-L: high demand vehicle, Invoice+1000 pros: factory DVD (add ext. warranty for a 7 year warranty on this item) cons: cannot play DVD-R that I tried. EX-L DVD/NAV: price is high for NAV but includes bonus XM capability, better speakers and rear view camera I am leaning towards either EX-L and add Sony or EX-L DVD/NAV and go all out. |

Replying to: hmb1 (Mar 02, 2005 2:01 pm) Although I had a harder time justifying the price jump to a Touring from an EX-L than the cost of the R&N package, I eventually did buy a Touring R&N and have no regrets. Other than some of the interior trim, it does feel like a higher line, more integrated vehicle and, at least to me, drives better. Bear in mind, though, that its residual is less (as is generally true with any top of the line model) so you will truly pay for the extras. |
