Replying to: carsly (Apr 30, 2008 10:54 am) I got my trade in evaluated at 2 different dealerships. Both gave pretty much the same trade in value, which was $2137 less than what I owed (even though kbb said my car was worth $1136 more than what the dealerships wanted to give). Both dealerships said that they would have to wholesale my trade in. I shopped online from 4 dealerships. The lowest offer after 2 weeks was $22385 - but that was without 2.9% percent. Arrrgggghhhh! |

I'm looking at a Pilot VP FWD. Lowest price I have been given via e-mail is $22496 and I know it doesn't include destination ($635). It is exactly $2500 below invoice. I'm in DFW and haven't thought of driving to Austin or Houston, anyone else get a deal there that was worth the drive?? From what I've read the dealer cash was $3500 even on VPs in March? I want to make sure I'm reading the incentives correctly.... looks like dealer stand alone cash of $2500 or $3500 runs out today. But, financing offer of .9% or 2.9% and $2500 dealer finance cash runs through June. I think I'll wait until next month to see if incentives get any better?? I think the only thing I would lose at this point is selection as the offers I am working with now run through June...right??

The question is, will they run out of Pilots like you want before you buy? If you are not picky on color then you might wait and see if things get better. $4 gas and the 09 Pilot should spell more motivated dealers and / or better incentives from Honda. Or everyone else could snap up the VPs and other cheap Pilots while you are waiting for a better deal  . Dennis

Replying to: dwynne (Apr 30, 2008 1:05 pm) I'd love to know if anyone has gotten that deal in DFW... and which dealer. I would buy at that price today but I don't think they will do it?? Then the dealer installed options... the MSRPs are on Honda's website and the wheel locks are $55 not $299. I've heard the whole song and dance about installation.... maybe I will get a job installing wheel locks and cargo trays!! How do you sugeest getting out of that money trap, offer to pay MSRP? I don't want to wait until the selection is nil, but right now new incentives are 24 hrs away.... thanks!!

Replying to: kel180 (Apr 30, 2008 1:21 pm) I always use carsdirect.com to look up prices, since they make sure you don't combine options that can't ordered on the same car (not an issue on a Honda since there are no options), but it also shows me what some local (or any other ZIP code) dealer will sell me the car for - and invoice and MSRP. You can get invoice from here on Edmunds and KBB and other places, but you may have to add destination to the number they show. If the local dealer will sell you the Pilot and make hold back only (price it at invoice including the destination fee and no doc fee) then that is a nice price. Even better if you can get into the hold back. You also need to ask the dealers if there are any dealer installed options they expect you to pay for (when you get down to a specific Pilot). Often, the chump stuff like cargo trays, mud flaps, and wheel locks will be thrown in on an Internet price - at least that have been for me since I would not pay for them. If they have loaded it up with window tint, running boards, etc then you will be paying for those in some fashion. So finding a dealer that adds nothing could say you a bit of money. If you actually WANT any of that stuff, check out the discount prices online and places like H and A and on ebay so you will no what it would cost you to buy these items. Then just make sure the dealer does not rip you off if you add them to your deal - once the price is settled for the Pilot. If they will not deal low, then buy them online and install for yourself.

I am in the Chicago area. I am trying to find out a good deal on a new 2008 4WD VP Pilot. I have got a number of email quotations ranging from 23,485 to 24,120 as the sale price (including the destination charge) + tax, doc, plates, and I am not convinced that this is the best that I can get. Anyone got a better deal in Chicago or suburbs? |
