Boch Honda promotion sales starts every Saturday. You can preview it on late Friday night.
 
Better check Boch's inventory online. I got friend visited Boch last Saturday, found only 3 EX-L AWD left, they are all NOT 100%, like bumper scratched or dented. The only stock still lots are AWD SE (with DVD) at the same price. SE does not come with leather, heated seats.

Boy, it sounds like their stock is quite picked over. But I guess it would be expected with the '09s on their way.
 
Fxcai, I'd suggest you look at cars.com new inventory search. When we did our search, I found that a lot of Honda dealers listed their new stock on this website. That's how I found our Silver 4wd w/ Navi at a dealer 350 miles away. Are you looking for a specific color/trim level?

I am looking for a EXL pilot. The Boch honda lists about 10 inventories. I am wondering if I can use their Ads to ask other dealers to match. I found Herb Chambers Honda of Westborough‎ has a lot more in stock. Anybody has comment on this dealer? Thanks.

Bought EX 4WD Pilot by azrn

Thanks to everyone who has shared prices paid and buying experiences. Before I found this site a month ago, I had no idea how much money you can save by negoiating online with internet and fleet managers. I'll never get trapped in a cubicle with a 4 square in front of me again. Bought my EX 4WD in Phoenix on May 3. Paid 25,000 for the car and received the special Honda financing of 0.9% for 36 months. Doc fee of 389. Arizona doc fees are high. Dealer threw in the window tint, cargo tray, wheel locks and rear splash guards free. Selection is getting low, so I am glad to have made the deal sooner rather than later in this month.

Herb Chambers Honda - 4 locations in Mass
 
I did business with his Boston location. To make long story short, only the general manager knows how to do the job. Their Honda dealerships are running guarantee 120% of KBB Fair Value for your trade, but I don't think they will match Boch's promotion prices.
 
My experience is I have to go to the dealership 4 times and my deal hasn't been completely finalized yet.
 
Check Herb Chambers out, he owns lots of car dealerships in New England, from Maybach to Vespa.

AZRN, would you mind sending me the contact info (dealer name, salesperson, etc.) where you purchased your vehicle? It sounds like you got a great deal. Enjoy!

So I think I've finally narrowed things down to a pretty good offer: 26785 for a black/saddle 08 EX-L, and that includes destination and doc fees (and floormats). I will be be responsible for taxes/tag/titling when I get home. Not bad, eh?

Mike, it was a dealer in the Chicagoland area, Castle Honda in Niles. Mike A. is the internet manager there. I'm calling to put a deposit on the car today, so I'll let you know if anything funny happens or the deal falls through.

Rolling over an old balance to a new pilot by pablo9
May 13, 2008 (3:43 pm)

I am unfortunately upside down to the tune of about $7k (after assumed market value is applied) for the vehicle I want to trade on a Pilot SE 2wd. Can someone confirm these notions I have heard?
- Financing will allow up to 10% of MSRP value to be added (usually for add on accessories, etc)
- With MSRP at $31,595 and invoice of $28,610, I should be able to heavily negotiate down to the $25 range (with $3500 incentive) leaving about $6k in room for add on balance. So, should result in need to provide $1k or so cash assuming taxes, etc can be added into loan (big assumption).
 
This is not a position I have ever been in before...and certainly don't like it. But with 120k+ miles on the trade in and with a high interest rate...I figure I will be helping the cause with a potentially lower rate (payments are all on time, etc) on the remaining balance and getting a much more reliable form of transportation.
 
THis scenario came from some financial times that were harsh from some medical bill hits so was unavoidable. Now I'm just trying to emerge as quickly and as well as possible.
 
Thoughts on if this deal would work? I figure the pricing should get aggressive if a dealer knows he'll be adding a larger financed balance back in...
