I bought my chrome side steps from handa-accessories.com. Installation was very simple. I did it myself in about 90 minutes. It costed a little over $500 for parts+tax & shipping. Dealer offered non-chrome version for $800 installed.

Quote for Pilot FWD EX-L by jellybeaneater

I just got a quote of $26,302 for the Pilot 2WD EX-L, no Nav or RES. But when I asked if this price would be eligible for the 2.9% special financing, the guy said it would be $1,000 more if we did the special financing.
 
So the deal would be:
MSRP: $32,400
Invoice: $30,917
Selling Price: $27,302 ($3,615 below invoice)
+ TT&L
 
I really want the EX-L with RES, but this dealership doesn't carry them. Instead, they have a system that another vendor will install for $1300 - $1500, which I'm not exactly crazy about. They say it's covered under the warranty, but it doesn't seem like a good deal to me, since I could buy an aftermarket system on my own for less than that.
 
I think I'm going to keep shopping. I could probably negotiate this dealer's price down a little, but without the RES, it's not really worth the trouble at this point.

I am waiting to get the best deal I can get I mean low financing and the 3500 incentive. Honda my give you both if the economic situation worsens I personally do not see a good economic outlook all the way throughout the summer. The newly redesign pilots are coming out and they do not want to be sitting in a big inventory. Another negative on the pilot is that they are not well known to be economic cars ( I would say they are known to be a little gas guzzlers). Either I get a good deal or I do not buy the car.

Odyssey Purchased by godsyndrome

I just recently purchased an Odyssey EXL from Ourisman Honda of Laurel, and I could not ber happier! We recieved an email quote (the same one everone else here as listed) went to the dealeship and were shown 2 vehicles. We purchased a SIlver Odyssey EXL and paid exactly what the quote said. They did try selling us paint protection, rust proofing and other items-which we refused. We came in with a check from our bank and lefy without paying anything additional! Overall a very good experience, thought hey could have made the whole thing even better by nor trying to sell the additional unwanted items!

Unless *I* wandered into the wrong forum, this is the PILOT prices paid forum - the Ody forum is elsewhere .

It depends on the dealer.
 
Some dealers will register your vehicle in NY for you, in that case they collect the NY sales tax.
 
If they don't, they shouldn't collect the sales tax, you would register the vehicle yourself when they get the NJ title, about 3 weeks after the sale. You pay the NY sales tax at that time.
 
I've done it both ways.

Thanks for the feedback. If they register it in another state, do I pay the sales tax in that state and the difference I would pay to NY
 
Thanks again

On a purchase an out of state dealer should not charge you any tax at all. The exception would be if the dealer was in a border state and was used to collecting your state's tax and has a tax ID in your state to pay it in. In cases where you want / need to finance the taxes you may can get the dealer to roll your state's taxes unto the deal and cut you (your state's DMV) a check for the taxes to pay. Then you take the MSO from the dealer along with the check for the taxes and register your car.
 
A lease is a little different because most states charge tax on the payment and any cap cost reduction, but each lease bank has a tax ID for the states they operate in so they can add it to your payment each month.
 
I have purchased and leased a lot of cars from out of state dealers and they all just sent me a limited power of attorney to title the car along with the MSO/MCO and in some cases a tax check.
 
There could be some states that collect taxes from non-residents on a purchase, but I would think this would be pretty rare and could lead to you being double taxes.
