Replying to: skipperskid (May 01, 2008 12:02 pm) I spoke to a Philly dealer just now and he said that once the '09s are out (i.e. sometime this month), Honda will pull dealer cash and the dealers will be on their own to provide incentives to potential Pilot buyers -- that all seems a bit odd for two reasons: (1) the expiration on Honda incentives are typically found right on the announcement (http://automobiles.honda.com/current-offers.aspx) -- you will also notice a disconnect between what Honda says the incentives are and what Edmunds says the incentives are (http://www.edmunds.com/new/2008/honda/pilot/100891109/incentives.html) (i.e. the $2500 in dealer cash through May is noted by Edmunds, but not Honda). (2) On cars.com, I counted about 70 EXLs without NAVI/RES in the Philadelphia area (30 mi radius around a Philly zip) -- if '09s are rolling on the lots early this month, do they really expect to clear the '08s without, at a minimum, maintaining the current incentives. One more thing, as I'm writing this post, a Jersey Honda dealer just called and offered $27417, including destination, with special financing |

When that point comes there will probably be no cheap money or leases on them either. We don't know what they will do for May, but April was again a good month to buy or in some states lease a Pilot. Getting one for $3,500 and more under invoice and cheap financing is a real bargain. I would expect more incentives but I am not sure if they will raise the amount any or not. Clearly the model you are looking for is widely available so I would just wait and see. Worst case you miss out on the deals, but it will not be long before they have to have incentives on the 09s to move those as well. Dennis

Replying to: dwynne (May 01, 2008 1:33 pm) Believe it or not, more than a few dealers INCREASED prices the last week of April in order to keep some inventory for May as the 2009's don't float in until the end of the month. Happy hunting!

Planning on getting a Pilot Ex-L this weeknd. Had earlier posted the message about EX-L navi quote, but decided to forgo the navi for 2k, plus 4wd with navi are scarce. Am debating between the 2wd and 4 wd. I live in so california. Have not need a 4 wd car in the 8 years I have lived here, but feel if I have an SIV maybe it should be 4 wd. Can you guys pls advise. Thx

Replying to: jvidhun (May 01, 2008 10:54 pm) The exceptions would be if you need the extra towing capacity of the 4WD model (4500 VS 3500 lbs) or if you were the one out of a million SUV owner that actually was going to take your SUV off the pavement . Dennis |

Just checked in on carsdirect.com (whose pricing reflected the standard $3,500 below invoice the last few months) and they are now showing $3,600 below invoice. Has anyone else heard of Honda bumping by $100?
