Just so everyone knows I wanted to post what I paid in the Maryland Area. We bought a Ody Touring R&N Slate Green Metallic/Olive Leather for 35,500 that included destination, front and rear mudguards, wheel locks and of course the interior and exterior protection package that everyone seems to do  This was April 30th.

Replying to: dljrph (May 13, 2005 6:54 pm) Ouch. Even with a total lack of my desire to huggle and in pricy N.Cal. got my EX for 26,500 with destination and goodies thrown in (large cargo mat, door edge guards). They have a lot full of them. I bet you can get it for invoice this month if you try. I hate leather seats, sunroof is pointless and do not trust the new iVTEC. EX is the best deal. Driving it for the third day. Nice. |

Replying to: twinwrkz (May 07, 2005 2:30 am) I live in the North Dallas/Plano area and took a two-pronged approach. I contacted 5 Honda dealers through this site for quotes after checking their inventories on their websites to confirm they had at least 1 Touring R&N in stock with a color I would like. I didn't waste time dealing with those that didn't have the model I wanted. I also stopped by Lute Riley Honda in Richardson, TX in response to their radio ad saying they were offering $3800 off MSRP for all Tourings. They had 2 left but the colors were not for me, a 3rd would have been but it was sold and being picked up while I was there. All initial email responses came back without quotes and some variation of "stop in and we can talk". I replied to all with the exact model and colors I was interested in and asked them if they could beat or meet the $3800 off from LR and to give me an email quote. Almost all first responded to the effect of "we only sell those hard to get models for at or near MSRP". Don't believe them, haggle on. Bankston in Lewisville emailed me a quote for a Touring R&N at $3100 off MSRP of $39010. Not bad. McDavid in Frisco still didn't get the concept of internet quotes and responded without a quote again but said they could come close and that I should come in and talk. (As an aside before I was really looking, I went through their dealer water torture process on a test drive visit about 3 months earlier. Now they had an amazing 16 Touring R&Ns in stock so we stopped by on Sunday while they were closed and walked their lot and overflow lot to look at them and compare colors up close without sales pressure.) Honda Cars of McKinney responded that the $3800 off MSRP was a good deal but to watch for the dealer add-ons, but they didn't provide a quote either. The other few dealers were Rusty Wallis and McDavid of Irving and they didn't provide a quote either. Never bothered with them after that. I made another visit to Lute Riley and we reached a deal on the $3800 off as well as they'd throw in their dealer add-ons that I didn't want for free except for the wheel locks and mud flaps I wanted. Sales guys were great. Sales Manager was ok. Had the paperwork started and then the General Manager came in and vetoed the deal at the last minute! He raised the price by $1400 and pressured me to take it or leave it or the price was going up to MSRP, his sales guys were crazy to make me that offer, that was my last chance, he could sell it to someone else for MSRP,etc,etc. Needless to say I will NEVER purchase a vehicle or service from them. Don't waste your time there like I did. Can't trust them. So I drove home frustrated at the time wasted...and then checked my email. Honda Cars of McKinney sent out an email that day to those who had contacted them previously via the internet with a 4 day end of April internet only deal of $500 off any other DFW dealer's best offer on 05 Odysseys and 06 Ridgelines ! I immediately called their internet guy up and told him I received their email and was coming in. I checked out the model I wanted, I gave him a printed copy of their email, he remembered my $3800-off MSRP deal from the LR dealer and had the deal drafted up for $4300 off MSRP for my new Touring R&N. They also beat my 5.25% financing I had lined up. I was in and out of there, deal signed, in less than 2 hours. My wife signed her half of the paperwork the next day when we took delivery. As others in these forums have done, rather than trade in our vehicle (99 Montana Van) to the dealer, we sold it to Carmax and got about $1800 over the edmunds and blue book price. The dealers couldn't even come close to that.
