The Environmental Pkg usually has so many loopholes and requirements that in 6.5 years, you will be lucky to get any "damages" handled to your satisfaction. This is a very high profit item. Regular washing, waxing, and cleaning will do just as well. If you really want it, have a lawyer look at it and have him give you an opinion on the fine print. $700 will buy a lot of car waxes and cleaning.

Replying to: fishrules1000 (Mar 19, 2005 10:25 am) Dicker back and forth on the price, they will come down. Use the "entire warranty" as your ammunitation. Does you new van have NAV system? If not, tell them you should not have to pay for it. Does your new van have the power lift gate? 4x4? Etc...Etc... We bought the warranty on our 01 odyessey, it paid for itself when the air compressor needed replaced twice and the alternator went once. We just bought an 05 odyessey, 2 weeks ago. needless to say i bought another warranty. good luck. |

We just drove our Ody EXL (slate w/ olive leather) home last evening... It fast, painless, no negotiation needed, and courteus staff. After after doing much research and reading this board, we went in with with a bottom line price in mind, and ended up buying it for even less! Honda of El Cerrito (just north of Berkeley, CA) Sell price: $28.1k + tax and lincense. (Includes 2 accessories) Out the door: $30.4k They have about 10 EXLs in stock. Contact me if directly if you want details. John

My wife and I have been searching for a black odyssey ex-l but they seem to be in short supply. I have not seen but 2-3 black ones around town, it is almost always the silver. Also, the lowest price I have been quoted here in the DFW area is $28600. I think it can go lower. Does anybody in the Dallas area have any ideas? |

As a Honda Odyssey buyer in Northern California, I found some of the best pricing in Reno NV area (Michael Hohl Honda). Buying from outside of the CA, one doesn't pay any sales tax to the dealer but to DMV upon registration. Tradeoffs are a few hours drive and a trip to DMV vs. the savings.

| Started our search months ago, and mostly were told MSRP or $500 less than MSRP. Two best dealerships were David McDavid (Southwest Freeway) and where we finally purchased from the internet/fleet manager - Honda of Clear Lake. All very above board and quick. Drive out on EX-L with RES and NAVI was $34,743. Additions included Vin etching, mud guards, cross bars, full tinting, rubber mats, cargo liner, and wheel locks. So far no problems and no rattles! | |

Are there any significant pros or cons to buying a car from a different state? I found an EX-L at invoice in Ohio (we live in IL). Two of my concerns/questions: 1) How does the taxing work? 2) If I need to have a warantee repair done, can I do it at any Honda dealer? 3) I won't get lifetime free car washes, right? Any other thoughts? |
