#9560 of 24381 EXL w/ DVD& NAV in Orlando by jimorlando May 11, 2005 (7:43 am)
In Orlando FL, was just quoted $32,800 incl the Destination charge. Slate Green Metallic w/ olive leather. Edmunds TMV is $33K, so think I am in good price range. Equates to $1436 over invoice (4.5% over invoice) and just about $2K under MSRP. Thought and opinions welcome before I make decision.

#9561 of 24381 EXL w/RES and NAVI in So. Cal by mcdowd May 11, 2005 (1:50 pm)
After going out to about 25 dealers in So.Cal (San Diego, OC and LA) the best price I was able to find on an EXL w/RES and NAVI was $32990 (incl. destination) which is $1638 over invoice. I told all of the responding dealers - thanks, but call me when you can come down to $32350 (incl. destination) which is $1K over invoice. Also, the car offered at that price was Silver.   I am betting that as Memorial Day and the end of Q2 draw nearer, that someone will have a bogey they need to hit.   Cheers.

Replying to: cerium (May 04, 2005 9:41 am) I had an absolute AWESOME experience at Norm Reeves in Cerritos. Nobody else could tough their offer. Worth the drive. Did everything over internet and emails. Got an exl for invoice thru internet dept. If you pay 500 over you'll still have a great van at a great price. I got mine right when the dealers invoice went up and they honored the quote. so expect to pay 500 over. post your email address and I'll email you more details if you'd like.   k Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Apr 19, 2005 5:06 pm) anarchy_burger (May 12, 2005 8:56 pm) kirstie_h (May 13, 2005 4:52 am)

Replying to: jimorlando (May 11, 2005 7:43 am) If that figures includes the "dealer fee," it's not a bad price for Central FL. You might try the store in Daytona Beach, it seemed to have the best prices when I canvassed dealers a couple of months ago.

Replying to: kohl (May 11, 2005 8:32 pm) Please don't ask others to e-mail you for more info. Part of being a part of a vibrant, online community is having the discussions online where everyone can benefit from the questions and answers. Therefore, we highly discourage "email me" posts as we like to have the discussions take place in our Forums and not in email. When questions are answered in email, everyone else in the discussion loses in the opportunity to learn and benefit from the exchange.   Also, posting your email address in a public forum where search engines and spiders crawl content, your address can end up on numerous "spam" lists.   kirstie_h Roving Host Host, Future Vehicles & Smart Shopper discussions
#9565 of 24381 Re: Honda of Lisle vs. Honda of Joliet [liujn] by skeptic555 May 12, 2005 (8:08 am)
Replying to: liujn (May 10, 2005 10:11 pm) Ive weighed in once on this chain already, but following up again re price - Joliet agreed with no fuss at all to the EX-L with RES (midn Blue) for 30,386, inclusive of the 515.00 dest. They were a pain to deal with on accessories and trade as I noted in my earlier post, but this price was well under what a coworker paid 2 weeks prior at Community Honda. The speed at which they agreed to match this email quote (I didnt tell em the email quote I got from a different dealer EXCLUDED that 515.00 - small victory there...) tells me that should be the MOST you pay. No harm in knocking a few bucks off to open the negotiations... Replies to this message: liujn (May 12, 2005 7:26 pm)
#9566 of 24381 Re: Dallas - Ft Worth Dealer experience (a list needed) [twinwrkz] by rashdir May 12, 2005 (8:14 am)
Replying to: twinwrkz (May 07, 2005 2:30 am) When I bought my van(EXL-RES) I went through the Honda site and blasted to the 30 dealers listed. I've noticed that small town dealers are more willing to do dealer trades if the don't have it ready.   I bought mine from Fenton Honda, Ardmore, OK. I recommend you try them and Jack O Diamond, Tyler, TX. Someone from Houston took my recommendation and bought a Touring+NAV from Jack O. You may have to search the posts around March-April time frame.   As for local dealers, I've noticed that they aren't predictable, their prices fluctuate widely (quote MSRP first and then say they match). Some of them have useless Internet Only prices which are a joke since they want you to come by the dealership to chat.   By the way, I did all my dealings over e-mail, phone and fax. The only time I went to the dealer was to pick it up.   Good luck with your search. If you want more info drop me an e-mail. Replies to this message: twinwrkz (May 14, 2005 8:15 pm)
#9567 of 24381 EX - Nor. CALIF by dae May 12, 2005 (12:46 pm)
Replying to: twinwrkz (May 07, 2005 1:57 am) Paid $26,500. No haggling. There was some attempt to quote me without destination charge, but they immidiately backed up from that after I have expressed amusement. As they had color I wanted (ocean mist) sitting right there in a dealership near my home, decided it is a good enough deal. Their business seems to be on a slow side, but then I always buy cars in May - seems like the best time.
#9568 of 24381 Re: Avoid Madison Honda (NJ) [ezo] by doctorknow May 12, 2005 (6:09 pm)
Replying to: ezo (Apr 11, 2005 10:20 am) Dear Ezo,   You are right! To anyone and everyone who reads this forum. Take note and avoid Madison Honda in Madison, New Jersey. If you really want a Honda, buy it elsewhere. Perhaps Planet Honda on Rt. 22 in Union. Madison Honda puts cars on their lot as certified that on close inspection clearly fail the standards set by Honda America. Example: Cars with two front tires not matching. One old, one new. Fluid levels not up to specification, etc. etc. Car out of alignment on test drive. Etc. Etc. Yet again cars already on the lot with certified sticker in window. And signed checklist in dash. This indicates shoddy workmanship and standards and calls into question whether any certifcation warranties on used cars offered for sale at this dealership are accurate and up to Honda's highly promoted 150 point checklist. I would be interested to hear from any other customers of Madison Honda who hav ehad bad experiences. Honda America should be looking into the business practices of this dealership. As for complaint letters to American Honda I suggest writing the President of the Company at the America Honda headquarters in Torrance California. Unless the President hears about such complaints you have little hope of getting any satisfaction from Honda Customer Service. From my experience they take the side of the dealer, regardless of what the customer has to say. Bad business policy. Very short sighted. Over time customer complaints like yours will certainly shake the confidence of those thinking about buying a Honda.
#9569 of 24381 Vanilla EX in Naperville/Aurora IL by dazmr2 May 12, 2005 (6:45 pm)
I just paid $26,500 inc dest (about a $2500 saving) for a vanilla Odyssey EX in Ocean Mist from Valley Honda in Aurora, IL. I had to wait three days for it as it came straight from the factory (only 2 miles on the odometer.)   I also got them to throw in the leather steering wheel cover. Also got a book of coupons for cheap servicing etc (alledgedly a $1100 value... yeah, right!). I didn't get suckered into buying the extras such as paint protection, extended warranty etc.   Not bad, considering a friend was being quoted MSRP at all the local dealerships only 3 months ago.
