Willis Honda .... ask for Internet Director Janelle or sales person "Steve" and tell either one that you want the same deal that "Deep" had on his Pilot. As their selling price is usually much higher..... It was an exclusive deal I struck with them.
I did ask them if they would give the same price if I send anyone..... and they did oblige. Please post your experience once you go there.

$2,200 for HondaCare is a rip off - unless you are in FL where prices are fixed. In your case, HC does not have a 7/70k plan so the dealer is selling you some 3rd party plan - so no way should you buy that at any price.
If you check Saccucci Honda online they car do real HondaCare for $640 for 7/80k/$0 deducible. $1,195 is the most expensive HC they sell for a Pilot and that is for 8 years, 120k with $0 deductible. So your dealer's offer is a huge rip off.
GAP coverage is something you have to decide about for yourself. If you are leasing or financing the Pilot and it is stolen or totalled it makes up the difference between what your insurance company says the Pilot is worth at that time and what you owe on it. If you are buying it cheap ($2,500-$3,500 or more under invoice) and maybe taking the cheap financing, you should be OK. If you are paying cash (obviously) the you don't need it. No one else can tell you yes or no, since if *I* told you not to get it and your Pilot was stolen and the insurance left you owing money to the bank - *I* am not going to pay that for you . That said, $700 sounds like a another rip off price for this coverage.

I may too! Can you provide the MSRP for the one you purchased for comparison? If I understand correctly, it is a 4WD EX. I need to buy something this week, and I'd be happy to say you referred them. Thanks!

Dennis,
Thanks, I got 2008 pilot 4WD EXL+NAV for 29,000. It was the only one in the area with the gray color we want. So, in this case, it is 7,000+ under the MSPR. I am taking 6 years loan in this car. In this case gap is not important? How about road hazard for the tires. Do I need to buy one?

Gap insurance would be a good investment especially when you are going 6 years on the loan. But it really depends how much money you are putting down on the car. If you are putting down less than 20% on the car then it is a good investment. Just don't pay more than $200-300 for it. The dealer usually marks it up a few hundred dollars. As far as tire coverage. It is good as long as it is a reputable program. Again, it costs the dealer about $120-180 so do not let them mark it up the few hundred they usually do.

Does anyone know where you get gap insurance? My auto insurance does not offer it and the dealer want to sell for $700.
Thanks

Are you financing through your bank (or credit union) or the dealer? I know the banks sell it if financed through them. If you are financing through dealer because of a better rate ask your bank to see if they would do it.

The best quote I got so far for vp 2wd is 22300 (not including other fees) in So Cal. I heard that some Atlanta dealer offer at 21500 and this my target right now. If some other people bought VP, please share the price, thanks.
