Interesting post, nanj. When I bought my Touring R&N at Hugh White in February, the finance department turned up their nose at the idea of competing on the EW price so I passed on it. Glad to hear they've now learned their lesson.
Funny thing about that store (and also true of some others) - buying through the internet department will not necessarily get you the best price. My sister and I concluded separate deals on '05 Pilots on the same day at Hugh White in January. She went through the internet guy (who sold her an '03 Pilot two years ago) and paid $300 over invoice. I went through a salesman who has sold me a couple of other cars and paid $700 under invoice for my wife's EX-L Nav.
Bought my Touring from the same guy 7 weeks later for the then invoice of $34,588 and the price included about $400 worth of accessories.
You might be interested to know that Hugh White does quite a bit of trading with a dealer in Indy though I'm not sure which one.

Thank you SOOO much keenones for your help!!!
LaCrosse is about 2 hours away for me (about the same as the cities), but I never think of it since I rarely go that direction.
I will most assuredly follow up on that lead.
Thanks again!!!!!

EX in Texas

I've been lurking for a couple of months now reading every post on this board. I'm dead set on getting a GREAT deal on our next car because my last two purchases (a 2000 VW Jetta and a 2001 VW New Beetle) left a really bad taste on our mouths. So, thanks for all the information provided.
I have been doing some preliminary research on my own, and got an offer of $300 over invoice from Bankston in Lewisville a couple of months ago. However, we decided to wait to make a purchase in July so we can build up a pretty sizeable down payment.
The one thing that I haven't seen much of on here is pricing on the EX. It seems that everyone on here is buying RES/NAV. I just don't want to spend that kind of money on a car! So, if anyone can provide information on how they have done on an EX Cloth in Texas (especially around Austin, but I'm willing to travel), I would appreciate it. I'll be sure to reciprocate as I get closer to my purchase.

Hi, I just bought my Ody EX from Lute Riley Honda. Initially I went to David McDaving Irving but the sales manager was an absolute jerk. I gave him by initial offer and he told me arrogantly whether I was there to buy a car or not. And he walked away from me. Jerk. It's a totally rude person. I won't go back to David McDavid Irving anymore. Then, I got a quote from Bankston as well as Huggins. All of them were willing to match each other's prices. Both dealership were nice and not pushy but I ended up with Lute Riley because none of the dealerships (Bankston & Huggins) had the color that I wanted. I had an extremely nice sales person at Lute Riley who did not waste any of my time. As soon as I came, he just matched the price and I went out the dealership in no time. My price was around $26K with Mudguards, pin stripes, cargo tray, cargo net. The car was even cleaned before I arrived (I told them that I was coming). When I bought my Civic in 2000, I had a similarly bad experience at Vandergriff Honda (rude sales person and he asked me to wait for 2 hours for nothing). I ended up buying my Civic from Lute Riley as well from the same sales person. If you have any questions, please email me.

Sure, dtmax. It is Hendrick Honda on South Blvd. I also noticed someone posted a similar car from Honda of Rock Hill (SC), that was only a couple hundred above my deal. Great deal also, and not too far away. I worked with Honda of Rock Hill's Internet Lead, and Metro Honda's(Monroe) Internet lead, and both were great. All 3 matched the price I wanted, but Hendrick Honda was the only one that stepped up and dropped the price further to secure my business. Great experience with sales person. I'm not sure of the etiquette on these forums, so if you want his name, ping me offline at my username above hotmail.com. He wasn't the Internet lead.
