Special financing in Iowa....maybe regional? by joeyjoejoe

I just got an e-mail from my Honda dealer not even a month after purchase for the special 2.9% financing! I had to haggle with them to get 4.8%, and even that was a stretch. I might call and complain. See if they can do anything for me. I haven't felt any buyer remorse until right now. I loved the price I paid, but that financing would be so much nicer. They also mention something about a gift card with purchase. Here is the message from Holmes Honda out of Des Moines, IA:
 
If you've been considering a vehicle purchase, now is the time to buy a new Honda.
 
Holmes Honda is pleased to announce that for 10 days only, starting March 14, 2008, we are able to offer 2.9% APR financing on most new Honda models!* As you know, this is an extremely rare opportunity which is usually offered only once or twice a year. Our used vehicle department is in great need of inventory so we will also be offering top trade-in values for all makes.
 
If you mention this e-mail when you are purchasing your new vehicle, I will give you a $100 Holmes gift card. If you are not currently in the market for a vehicle, please pass this on to a friend. If they mention this e-mail when they purchase, they'll receive a $100 Holmes gift card!
 
Have a great day - I hope to see you soon!
 
*2.9% APR with qualified credit for 36 months. 3.9% APR with qualified credit for up to 60 months. Available on new 2008 Honda Accord, Pilot, Odyssey, Civic and S2000 models. Expires 3-24-08.

Is this from American Honda or is it dealer specific? I called my dealer here in NY and they never heard of it? PLEASE HELP! I am buying tomorrow!

I think it is been posted many times that this is a REGIONAL deal. In some cases if you buy from a dealer in a state that has the cheap money you can get it, in other cases it is based on where you live.
 
We had cheap money here for "President's Day" and I got e-mails from the local dealers, lots of TV and radio ads, etc. For this? Nothing - we had it last month.

Good luck! Could you please let me know how it goes after your purchase negotiation today? I am shopping for car this weekend too.
 
Thanks.

You could always have your local dealer call or contact the one that sent me the e-mail. I outlined in the previous post that it was Holmes Honda in Des Moines, IA. Do a quick google search to find their web page and contact info. You could even go as far to say that you have family in Des Moines that would purchase the car and ship/drive it out to you if the price difference is that dramatic. I don't know how much it costs to ship a vehicle, but I don't think it would be more than $200 or so. Worth a shot at least. Good luck!

Schomp Honda offered 4WD ex-l w/ NAV for 31,280 and with RES 31,680. I walked again. I just have no luck with Honda dealers. After the Colorado State tax credit of over $4000 for a $35,000 plus tax 08 Highlander Hybrid it dose not make much sense to buy a Pilot until they cost closer to $29,000. The Highlander comes with rear camera which all my wife wants anyway and gets way better MPG. I can do without leather seats and already have a portable NAV. So, looks another Toyota for me to match my 08 Camary Hybrid.

$28k for an EX-L w/Nav is not a realistic price right now - as invoice is $32,905. Then take off the $3,500 dealer money and all of hold back and you can't get to $28,000;
 
That said, I put in a Denver ZIP code in carsdirect.com and the price comes up $30,307 which is a lot better than what you were quoted. Might be worth a follow up with them to see who the dealer is that is offering that. You SHOULD be able to do at least invoice less $3,500 but if no area dealer will go that low then you either have to travel, pay what they want, or get something else.

Hey Dennis,
 
Are you a Honda car salesman.

I believe Dennis is a forum moderator. In case you had not taken notice this is a Honda forum.

RE: 2008 Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD w/navi - Price Quote by chevynovaln

I just got another quote from a dealer in the Omaha, Nebraska area that is $29,892.14 for a 2008 Honda Pilot 4WD EX-L w/Navi in Nimbus Grey Metallic. I'm waiting on confirmation that the price is an out the door price, but i'm thinking that i'm not going to find much better around here, that and they actually have the Nimbus Grey color available. Most dealers do not seem to have that color on hand. The internet sales rep also said that they ARE doing the 3.9% for 37-60 months W.A.C. I wish it was less, but 3.9% is pretty good.
