EX-L w/Res in NJ by tiptip

I just purchased a 2005 Ody EX-L w/RES from Rossi Honda in Vineland, NJ (southern Jersey). I paid $29787 for the van, about $90 doc fee, and a $7 tire tax. Basically $29890 + tax and licence which wasn't much for me since I register in Delaware. I went through their internet sales person. Very nice man and probably the most painless car buying experience I have had. I even got a pretty fair deal on my trade - in. Of course I was trading in a late model Accord which I know they will have no problem selling....

Odyssey LX 2005 - 24560 - OTD by joedish

Nally Honda in Union City GA. 24560 OTD (Out the door) including mud guards and cargo tray. Best deal we found around the Atlanta area, and closest to our home. All dealing done over the phone through Internet purchasing. Pleasant and fast experience. Salesman "delivered" the car to our home county to save an additional 1% sales tax. Involved driving him to the county line a couple of miles away. Nice touch and appreciated. We had no real color preference so had each dealer quote something from their lots.

Maybe GA is different. Here in PA, the sales tax charged is the rate of whatever county the vehicle is registered in. So if you live in a 7% county and purchase in a 6% county, you still pay 7%--and vice-versa. I'm surprised "delivery" shenanigans made any difference.

I certainly don't know all the rules. But if that was the case there would have been no reason to go for a ride with us to the county line only to have someone from the dealer follow him and take him back. Hey as far as I know he may just like riding around in everyones new van.

I found that the local dealers including a couple I visited were sticking to the "no supply/high price" scenario.

Took my new Ody home last night. Went to Moreno Valley Honda with a quote from a couple of other dealers and asked if they could beat the deal. They first wanted to match the deal but I asked them to sweeten it a little. After wheel locks, mud flaps and back floor mat we settled on an agreement.
2005 Odyssey EX with destination $26581.00
doc fees $45
tax $2063.52
license $242.75
final out the door: $28932.27
The fastest easiest deal I even made. Even the finance person was easy to speak to. No pressure, just an honest deal that I feel good about.
I used Edmunds.com to help us find the car we wanted and the price that we could expect to pay. Having timed it so we were going to the dealer on a Friday afternoon just before the end of the month I believe also contributed to the smooth purchase.

Well, I visited my local Costco dealer and their price on for an EX-L w/RES and NAVI was $34100 plus tax, title and tag. This price also included a number of dealer extras (mud flaps, wheel locks and cargo cover) the sales person indicated they "automatically add". I will be back in touch with costco to voice my displeasure.
 
Meanwhile, the search goes on. ocdan you mention a dealer who did the deal for your EXL w/RES for $1K over invoice. Can you name the name? Maybe they want some more business.
 
Thanks,

Your post is a bit confusing...
Did you purchase an 05' EXL RES for $30,500?
(Your title says EXL w/RES and NAVI)

Here is my experience this past weekend: I emailed a few dealorships in the area (to internet manager). No one responded. I called the internet manager at David McDavid Frisco TX. I said I was looking at the Ody Touring, he had 2 in the color I was interested on his lot. He said he would take 37,5 for it. I said I was looking for 37 out the door. He said OK. I came in that evening. He handed me off to another salesperson and I got the typical runaround. Give us your drivers license. (No) What are you looking for? Let us make an offer on your trade in (low balled) Diappeared for 30 minutes at a time. Bottom line, I walked out after 3 hours. We didn't get anywhere. I took my trade-in off the table but they still tried to muck up the deal with that. It was my rookie mistake. It was not what I had hoped for in going through the internet guy. I'll do better next time. Thoughts and advice?
