Paid $31,844 ($700 above invoice) for Sage Green/Ivory Touring w/o Nav/RES. Purchased at Balise Honda in W. Springfield, MA. Was quoted same exact price at two CT dealerships (Liberty Honda & Torrington Honda). All negotiation through email. Only dealer fees paid on top of sales price were $170 documentation fee. Other than that, only 6% CT sales tax and DMV fees. 4.39% financing for 60 months too.

Re: DFW area EX-L NAV/RES ordered for $867 over invoice [rashdir] by eta

> I'm a bit confused by your post. The price you are listing 35250 is for an EXL-RES-NAV? And that's $867 over invoice?
  
I'm talking about the "out the door" price:
 
invoice 30848.00 (EX-L NAV/RES)
markup 866.83
sunscreen 209.00
fog lights 299.00
tint 200.00
D&H 515.00
  
price 32937.83
tax 2126.36
fees 185.80
total 35249.99
 
The original post (#8919) has more info.
 
> Anyway if you think your model is rare then have you tried looking outside the DFW area? Within Texas and Oklahoma?
 
Ya, I'm considering it, although I'd hate to do this and then run into one of the myriad of problems that *some* people are running into (rattles, ABS, doors not working, NAV/DVD issues) and have to drive for hours to get these resolved. Unfortunately, I think that this is pretty common, even for models which are pretty reliable in general.
 
Thanks for your suggestion though!

We were just in the same situation: Had a trade (Toyota, in this case) and wanted an odyssey.
I did all my price negotiations without even mentioning the trade. Once I got an acceptable offer and went in for the test drive I told them that I will buy the car today depending on what they offer for my trade.
 
At that stage they basically are motivated to sell you the car as long as you are reasonable with what you expect to get for your trade. KBB trade in seems like a good gauge but consider that they will not pay for "excellent" rated, rather "good" rated KBB price on a 2002 car.
 
Also, there is a forum here about real world trade in prices that is of help. You should check it out.
 
By the way we were able to get below MSRP on our EX-L RES and I got $200 less than desired on my trade.
 
Good luck!

For accessories - click on the H&A ad up above the discussion title on this page and you can price the accessories. They will be under what the dealer would charge you.

I went to A dealer in Durham Chapel Hill NC and test drove an Ody and Pilot. They offered to "do some figures" I said go ahead and they gave me $900 off MRSP and $4100 on my Impala LS. KBB in Fair condition (I think good is $4700) Went by Carmax and they gave me a no haggle appraisal they would buy for. $5100!
 
I would get an estimate from a local dealer if you are buying far away. (Tell them you are not buying) and then go to Carmax. With that info I would go to buy the new vehicle and be prepared to drive the old vehicle back. (i.e. don't go alone in the trade-in).
 
Selling yourself is time consuming and has its own risks. Maybe you could email a photo to the dealer.
