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. IrishHunter |

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. |

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. |

Replying to: chrispina (Apr 12, 2005 5:44 pm) Then, their starting price was a couple hundred dollars OVER MSRP. I laughed, and said I wanted to pay $500 over invoice, less the trade-in value. They told me they had to make at least $3400 in profit or they wouldn't sell the car. After the standard sales manager ping-pong match, which took quite a while, because the sales manager's calculator appeared to be broken, it took him about 15 minutes to add up the same numbers I had, over and over again. Eventually the "must have" profit became $2400. Then they started making noises about the trade-in value on my car, which they had already given to me, and how they might have to rethink that trade-in value. I told them I would like my car keys back (which they had kept someone else in the dealership for the last hour or so for no apparent reason, other than keeping me from leaving). They said that surely we could work something out if I would just pay a bit more, or take less for the trade-in. So, to be clear, they wanted me to pay $2400 over invoice, on a fully loaded car, plus they wanted $895 extra on top of that for the "paint protection" package which really amount to nothing buy some tape pinstripes and a wax job, plus, they wanted to back off the trade-in value they had already given me earlier. I asked them to bring me my keys AGAIN. They wanted to call their sales manager yet again (I never even met him, he wasn't lowly enough to honor me with his presence), and ask if he could do anything, seeing as how they wanted to make me happy. I said, you'll make me happy if you sell me the car, without the paint protection, just as I asked for it 2 hours and 45 minutes ago, but I am willing to pay $1000 over invoice, with the trade-in value on the car that you offered me originally. No, sorry, we just can't do that. Bring me my keys please, so I can go to another dealer. (There are 5 within a 50 mile radius of my home). A little more humming about being reasonable, at which point I had taken enough and said that if I wasn't given the keys to my car immediately I would call the police and report it stolen, at which point I finally got them and left, after asking for them all those times. I wouldn't buy a car from them for any amount of money now. I highly recommend anyone considering a Honda to look elsewhere. |

Replying to: invoiceplease (Apr 12, 2005 6:26 pm) We ended up at $263 over invoice and were willing to wait 3 weeks for the right color to arrive. They also matched internet prices on accessories that we wanted from the parts department.
