Hey gang,
 
We finally bought our Cherry Red 08 EX-L AWD last night. Sport Honda in Silver Spring, MD. $26,182 (car only). I finalized the price over the phone and went in for a quick drive and paperwork. The dealer is relatively small but the experience was great. No pressure, no appearance package, no one even brought up crap like paint protection. Complete 180 from my nightmare at Landmark Honda (classic bait and switch). Let me know if you want the name of the sales guys, the one to find and the one to avoid. Actually, I'd avoid Landmark altogether. Google their name and all the horror stories are true.
 
Thanks everyone for sharing and happy hunting!

Wow. I feel bad for those who didn't take the plunge by yesterday. There is no guarantee those incentives will come back. That $3500 represented a 15% cash savings off the top. I'm glad I got mine

They may have incentives on them, but Edmunds does not have them yet so does not show them. They removed the old incentives once they expired. The "current offers" at automobiles.honda.com has not been updated yet either, but I am sure will be later today or by Wednesday.
 
If you are in the market for a Pilot I would contact your dealer(s) and see if they know what the March incentives are yet.

I have different opinion.
 
There may be gaps between incentives, but I bet it would be at most a few days rather than weeks. If you check the pilot incentive history last year, the incentive in March was more than Feb, that may be one factor that Honda has relatively stronge sale on March.
 
This year is a little different, the whole market is worse than last year, gas is up and economy is on the down way and there is a 2009 redign on the way too,
 
In order to beat the numbers on March07, I really doubt Honda would offer less incentive on March. I bet in the middle of March, the incentive should beat or at least match the one on Feb.

yes, I signed up in '05 when we were shopping for hubby's car. I'm usually just lurking...
 
Yes, I am loving the Pilot! Still trying to get used to it but falling in love with it overall. I am starting to feel better about my purchase as well.

There is probably very little actual gap in the lease deals and incentives, the only gap is US KNOWING about them. If they dealers really had no lease, loan, or incentives for a few days it would be really hard for them to move any vehicles off the lot.
 
The deals normally end at the end of the month, or the first Monday in the new month. Hopefully by that first Tuesday morning Honda has communicated the new numbers to the dealers, but they have not yet updated the web page nor has the info "leaked" to online sites like this one.

I was informed by my dealer today that the VP incentive dropped to $2500, but the EX and other models stayed at $3500. Anyone else hearing this?
 
I'm wondering if they are just giving me a line because they only have one VP left at this dealer (they have been moving quick there)?
 
I am in Peoria, IL by the way.

Yeah, my dealer also said so, and the new promotion expires Apr 30. VP appears to move quickly with $3500 incentive, but with only $2500 now, let's see how VP moves. We are not in rush and can wait a couple of months. I am hoping there will
be more incentive for Odyssey rather than $2000 right now, then we will choose Odyssey instead of Pilot, the Odyssey number in Feb looks very bad.
