vanhunter- I bought in early May at Dick Brooks Honda in Greer SC. Got my choice of their delivery on a EXLRN. Paid $31,978 and ~$1088 for the 7/100 $0 deductible warranty. The entire transaction went very well, including the follow up. Accessories were fair as well- Cargo mat and mud flaps ~$100 each and window tint at $50. Their internet manager was really helpful and delt with my daily calls trying to make sure I could get the van prior to an 8 hour roadtrip.

Buying out of CA by dartanyan

Hello,
I am considering an option buying out of CA and bringing into CA.
I know CA has a strict law on emission.
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vr/osreg.htm#BM2561
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/NonCAVeh/NonCAVeh.doc
but all Honda Vehicles are qualified for all 50 states in America. Does it mean ok?
Anyone knows about this issue for sure? or has done it actually?
I am in LA area, so I would go Las Vegas if I go.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

Odysseys are 50 state compliant. Others have posted here about buying out of state and bringing 'em into CA without any problem.
 
utahclimber, I have posted mileage figures here and elsewhere in the past. Overall average to date is above 21 mpg with a disproportionate percentage of highway driving. Will know more soon as we're making a roundtrip from OH to CA later this month.

I'm looking for an EX w/ cloth, and like it was mentioned, I'm going to scotchguard the fabric when we finally get it...for cleaning up, i've used oxy clean fabric spray, worked really well. There's even a variation for baby clothes, probably a lower concentration of solution. hope this helps.

Wei,
  What was the dealer in Pittsburgh where you paid $100 over invoice? How was your buying experience.

Why would you want to do this out of state thing if BayArea is only $300 above invoice for the base EXL model?

I bought it on 5/26 at El Cerrito Honda.

2005 Odyssey Touring Price by hot

I just signed up on this web site and started reading about prices paid, so I thought I'd post what we paid for our new 2005 Touring with DVD and Navigation. The salesman said he was surprised that his store manager gave us this price.
  
2005 Touring/DVD/NAV (includes destination & handling): $36,258
Splash guards: $136.50
Cargo tray: $109
Cross bars: $236.50
Title & Reg processing fee: $50
Licencing fee: $168
 
Equals $36,958 out the door
 
I thought we did pretty well. Anyone paid less? This was through internet sales at "Thomason Honda" in Portland, Oregon...where we have no sales tax.
 
They had 3 Tourings on the lot when we went there. We picked silver/black. I wanted white/tan, but they said they were hard to obtain at the time, so we figured they'd charge more to bring one in for us.
 
Have had it for over a month now, and am happy with the car. Not quite as quiet a drive as our turbo Volvo was, but it's nice to be driving a bit higher. I'm surprised at the power of this van. Again, not as powerful as the turbo Volvo, but much better than I'd thought a van would be.

2005 Honda Odyssey Touring with RES & NAV by a320

I would like to thank everyone in this form and especially Edmunds.com for hosting this site.
 
Below is a breakdown of my purchase agreement for a 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring with Rear Entertainment System and Navigation in Gold Metallic.
 
Negotiated Price: $35,470
Destination Charge: 515
Dealer Prep: 499
Enviormental: 6.50
Final Price: $36490.50
Plus Tax & Tag
 
This works out to be about a 6 percent profit over the dealer cost, which ends up being $2017 profit for the dealer after he receives his holdback. I emailed 12 local South Florida dealers and received quotes from half of them ranging from $1000 over MSRP to $36,000.
 
I did have a final price quote for $36,000, but it was in the wrong color. It seems that the dealers are willing to sell the silver with black interior and the red with ivory interior $500 cheaper down here in South Florida.
 
I was in and out of the dealer in two hours which included 45 minutes to remove the plastic shrink wrap and wash the vehicle. I would also like to add that I used Jeff Ostroff's www.carbuyingtips.com, Jeff is a self proclaimed consumer advocate, and has been running CarBuyingTips.com since 1997. Thank you Jeff for all you've done for the consumer.
