If you honestly think that someone has posted inaccurate information, you have every right to say it, but at least you can be nice about it. Furthermore, I don't think it's fair to insinuate that people who post here are "tight wads". If you can't find a way to be friendly, I suggest you go elsewhere. |

I am currently searching for a 2005 Honday Odyssey EX-L with leather and a DVD system. I got an online price quote of $31,600 from a local dealer (Eastern Mass), which is a few hundred dollars less than the Edmunds "TMV" price. Sounds like a good start. But I also got two other internet prices from some other dealers within 30 miles, one for $31,000, and one for $29,988! I was very surprised to see such a difference, of which the lowest quote is about $1100 over invoice. I have two questions for the forum: 1) How easy is it to use the online price quote from one dealership to affect (lower) the price from my nearest dealership? 2) Independent of the other dealers, if I am quoted a higher price by an on-the-floor salesperson versus the online quote, can that be used as a negotiating tool with the on-the-floor dealer? Any advice you could give would be most appreciated. Thanks everyone...George |

Replying to: cteng1 (Mar 18, 2005 8:49 am) I inquired about special financing with Honda (most of the cars are currently at 2.9% for 60) and he said he "figured" they would put the Pilot and Odyssey at 2.9% soon. He said last year the cars were onsale through the winter, and the Odyssy and Pilot got the cheap financing in the spring. Something to consider. Since Honda doesn't offer a rebate option, it would be worth getting the 2.9% financing since you can beat that by a % or two even with a CD.

Some dealers will match/beat in a heartbeat, some will lower their price and some will warn you about bait-n-switch tactics... Answer to your question #2. You think the on-the-floor salesman would be ashamed about on-the-floor price being higher than online-price? I bet they would run into the back office and say ok we will give you the internet price. Get all your quotes and go with what you think is the best. Things to watch out are: 1. Salesperson saying "Come by the dealership and we will talk...". This is a waste of time. 2. Some dealers will match the lowest price but will add a bunch of access you don't need. Be specific when you ask for a quote about accessories. I think Edmunds TMV is an average price paid. I think with a week of effort TMV is easy to beat. |

Replying to: fishrules1000 (Mar 18, 2005 12:02 pm) If you are in Eastern Mass, you are not too far from Autofair in Southern New Hampshire. They are a no-haggle dealership who posts their prices on their website. They list the EX-L w/DVD price at just under $30,400. You should have some luck with a local dealership at least matching that price. If you can't, I would go ahead and buy it from Autofair. Typically, each dealership has an internet only salesperson. To be fair to them, I would not talking to a floor salesperson after instigating a conversation with the internet salesperson. Good Luck! |

One dealer in Chicago want to sell us the following options for an LX: mudguards for $148 pinstripe for $129 environmental protection package A, which is a 7 year unlimited mile warranty on the paint, rust, interior and exterior on your van. That is $995. And he said he will sell all three to us for $698 total. Does anyone know the fair price for these options? Thank you very much for your help!
