Bought a Honda Pilot EX-L with Navigation 4WD 2008 model. Billet Silver. No extras. Price: 28,400. Doc Fee: 150 Taxes: 2143 Title and Registration: 168 Total: 30,861 Financing: 2.9% for 36 months, 0 down. Dealer: Honda Superstore of Lisle, Lisle, IL Other low quotes were 28705 from Honda in Joliet (email quote), 28990 from Community Honda in Orland Park (Phone quote), 29168 from Continental Honda in Countryside (Visited the dealer and talked to the salesman). Personally visited the shop and said I will do it now if they sold it for 28400. They agreed, no pressure and gave for 2.9 APR. It is the lowest february quote I received from Honda store in Joliet (the sales manager refused to honor their own february price and increased it by 300). This website helped in getting a deal I am happy with. Took the fear out of me in entering a car dealer shop. Thanks EDMUNDS. PM me for salesman name. Suresh |

Replying to: jillyrene (Mar 21, 2008 4:31 pm) Pulled the trigger today. Final OTD for 4WD Ex-L -28600 which works out to sale price of 26640. Got it from Continental Honda. I would recommend them if you are unable to get better deal anywhere else. I was assisted by a guy by name was Roberto Orozco. Nice guy - not pushy & not trying to sell what i did not want. No hassles. Pleasant experience. If you need more details let me know. Would be glad to help Satish

Replying to: dwynne (Mar 21, 2008 12:37 pm) Thanks for your advice. Wanted to let you know that I purchased the 4WD Ex-L for Sale price of 26640 - OTD 28600. You were spot on when you mentioned there was little wriggle room for negotiating a better price. Thanks for helping in arriving at the right price. Satish |

After reading this post, I contacted 3 Chicagoland Honda Dealers, and ended up going with Continental. Overall a good, low pressure experience. At the end, they did do a little number and got an extra $75 out of me, but that is not too bad. $28,700 for EX-L NAV. Would have gone for $28,500, but I wanted more for my trade-in, which they gave, but then held firm on the price. I got the 3.9% for 60 mos as well. Overall a good experience. The Internet Manager/GM is fairly upfront. His Internet quote was within $200 of what they sold the car for, so not bad. |

Took the plunge today on a 2WD EX. Price $23,050 Dest $635 Tax $700 Doc $398 OTD $24,965 What's the feedback on my deal? I got a little bit of money in the final negotiation but there wanted to discount price and not adjust doc fee for some reason. I actually received an offer from Gwinett Honda in Atlanta for $22,657. This was below their President's Day sale quote which is listed here on this forum. I decide the drive from Raleigh to Atlanta was not worth $400. Used Edmunds and followed the Motley Fool's car buying advise. I got all of the $3500 incentive, but was stopped short of getting into their hold back. I had several dealers decline to match the offer, which told me I was near the bottom. Inventory on 2WD EX is now very tight here. Seems only VP's and EX-L's are left in inventory. I was able to get the exact color combo I wanted, Nimbus Gray/Gray cloth. Buying experience was good, but there is a smugness to dealing with Honda and their lack of wanting to negotiate. I guess when you have a great product, there is little need to haggle much. |

Replying to: django (Mar 22, 2008 3:58 pm) One thing though, how did you get an OTD at 28600? Ours was 29035. Our taxes in Cook are 7.75%, so maybe that's how. . . Oh and does anyone know the answer to this? The finance guy said you can no longer buy extended warranties from Honda, so if I pass on this chance, it's done. I didn't take it because I don't think it's true -- any one know for sure? Thanks!! And maybe I'll see you on the road Satish! Jill

Congratulations, everyone. I bought a AWD Pilot EX-L w/ Navi today for 31,200 OTD. (29,021 base, $250 doc fee, $1,903 sales tax, $26 title fees). I used the "donkeypunch" method from the Odyssey board and was amazed how well it worked. I actually got some quotes that were about $150 less than the one I took, but they didn't actually have the car in stock. I probably could have cut about $200 off the price if I had really worked it, though, but I thought it was a fair price and wanted to go with someone who could deliver my car to me immediately. |

Replying to: jillyrene (Mar 22, 2008 7:41 pm) I think what you did was right. I only interacted with dealers on mail. This was the only dealer I visited. The difference is definitely due to tax. Tax in my region is 6.5%. I have never opted for extended warranty in my earlier vehicles & I did not opt for one this time too. Dennis may be able to give appropriate advice on this one. Once again Congrats! Enjoy your ride |

Congratulations to all the new Pilot owners - seems like several were sold just today to forum posters. No recession here  . Dennis

Replying to: dwynne (Mar 22, 2008 9:25 pm)  $29,867 OTD price for a 2008 Nimbus Grey 4WD EX-L w/Navigation. We ended up getting the running boards, bug deflector and roof crossbars for an additional $1100 on top of that, but the OTD price was for a fully loaded from factory Pilot. We love it! BTW, our dealer said they would match the price from Saccucci Honda for $1195 (8-year / 120k miles). Amazing! Pictures here: http://www.ChevyNovaLN.com/Nimby2008/ Brian / ChevyNovaLN |
