Well after a couple of weeks of researching and pricing around we bought today. We found the best deal online (Fayetteville, NC) and went to our local dealer (Greenville, NC) to buy. They were a little reluctant at first but agreed in the end. Here is the deal we got. $25253. pilot price with discount $758. 3% tax $446 tags, doc fee, etc $26457 OTD price I want to thank everyone on here for your help. It saved us alot of money.

I am really glad that I found this site. We are much more informed going into purchasing a Pilot. But I still have a few questions: What is dealer holdback? I see there is the MSRP and dealer invoice. What is dealer invoice compared to MSRP? I know the dealerships want you to pay MSRP but how does the dealer invoice and dealer holdback come into play?

Replying to: tig08 (Mar 06, 2008 1:43 pm) Dealer holdback is a percentage of the MSRP that the dealer gets back from the manufacturer after the vehicle is sold. It's basically a rebate to the dealer but typically it's spent on financing the vehicles while they are in their inventory. Dealers don't consider it profit and look at it as a sacred cow. Some consumer advocates feels it's fair game. I tend to view it from the former point of view. If you can get invoice less the current incentives, you are doing fine. If a dealer is willing to go lower, great. But IMHO, chiseling down into holdback can kill many a great deal because folks concentrate on milking every last dollar instead of taking a great deal and running with it. |

Replying to: carsly (Mar 06, 2008 2:50 pm) take note however, of the "*", the fine print says that it does not excludes destination charge, dealer fees, taxes, etc. and that price may change without prior notice and chosen vehicle may not be available. i guess the pricing is just for the basic car. with desstination charge of i think $635, which everyone pays, the price will be $24,073, which is still a few $$$ below invoice less the $3,500 incentive. still a great deal
