Agree with your post except for the following statement.
 
"This is called negotiating a price and the auto industry is one of the few business models left in our society that still believes in it."
 
From my experience everything is negotiable from the purchase of a DVD player up and thru the cost of a house. In fact, but for Taxes, Grocery items, gas for your car, & maybe a few other items I have found there is very little that cannot be negotiated down. The trick is to research and understand what your options are as completely as possible and understand the $$$/value relationship.
 
As for the 2005 HO EXL-DVD I purchased one in January at $600 over invoice or $29,600 with dest. and no other charges but for taxes, tags. I guess I can claim I only paid $200 over invoice now that Honda pushed thru their price increase. Probably could have squeezed another $100 or $200 off the price by making another round of the dealers but made the deal anyway. With the competition so fierce I would not pay more than a few hundred over invoice for the 2005 HO. Paid MSRP for my 1999 lx which I still own.

can you tell me what dealer you went through? we are located in northwest NJ and would prefer to work with a local dealer, but will travel if savings warrents the trip. Was the $28872 after the 6% NJ sales tax?

EXL in Oregon by george7439

After one week of requesting quotes, we had these for an EXL without nav or dvd:
 
Bill Rogers, Albany $29200 out the door
Roseburg Honda $28948
Tonkin Honda, Portland $28948
Kendall, Eugene $29809
 
A few others offered to meet or beat these, but they flaked out. It looked like the best were $1000 over invoice ($27434 + $515 destination = $27949)
Kendall is the closest to our home, so we went there on a cold rainy weekday, told them what quotes we had, and asked for $28450 or $500 over invoice. They agreed immediately, no hassle. We were treated very professionally. They did not even give us a hard sell about extended warranties, clear coat etc, nor did they try to attach accessories. In retrospect, I wonder if they would have accepted a lower offer, but it would likely have been for just a hundred or two. That is almost worth it to have such an easy sale.
 
We recommend Kendall Honda in Eugene. By the way, their little restaurant there has great burgers.

Quoted 37100 out the door (Plus Tax, title, and registration) at John Elway Honda on 104th and Federal in Northern Denver area.
Bought for 37000 (Plus Tax, title, and registration) at Honda of Greeley in Greeley CO.
 
Hope that's useful to someone in Northern CO. Seems it's a hard van to get out here - Greeley had none last week, got 3 in over the weekend, and I grabbed the my first choice of color. By Tuesday of this week, they were all sold.

classic honda in round rock had the one i wanted in stock. i added the 3rd row sun shades. i paid $33900 ($36275 with tax/title/etc). invoice was $31932. msrp was $35509. they tried to sell me the extended warranty... 6/100k/0 for $1700. i told them i wanted to do some research first. i found 7/100k/0 for $1150 at collegehillshonda.com. i will call the dealer tomorrow and see if they will match the price, otherwise i will just buy it online.
 
usaa has a price negotiation service and they said that the best they expect on a new odyssey is $1000 under msrp.

Searching in the Midwest by dkb2

I am looking for an EX-L with RES&Nav in the Midwest. A dealership that we were working with asked for 2 weeks to try to find us one. I had a quote for one at $500 over invoice from another dealership but decided to try a dealership closer to home in case we had problems with the van. This particular dealership that I was working with stated that they will beat anyone's price by $125. The two weeks are now up and they claim that there aren't many around and other dealerships aren't willing to give them up. I was willing to take any color other than black or desert rock. Neither dealership that I had initially contacted had an EX-L with RES/Nav on the lot. Does anyone have any advice or insight on the availability or lack thereof of this particular model ?? Also, it seems that there may be more Touring models available with the RES&Nav. Any pros or cons about going with a Touring model instead?? We are looking in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio and live close to the Indiana/Illinois state line.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone can give on this matter.
