Sounds good... I'm pretty sure that you only have to pay taxes for the state you're registering the vehicle in, so I'm good there... I've already had a few guys in Seattle offering to match my current deal... still waiting to hear from the Portland guys.
Thanks for the heads up!

Just went to the dealership and got a quote for a 2008 Pilot EX-L AWD for $27,700 plus taxes in the Nimbus Gray. I think I am going to take it, beacuse it is hard to find 2008 Pilots in the New York Area in the color and ex-l. Please let me know what you think and thank you everyone for your help.

Hello,
If my calculations are correct, EX-L invoice w/ destination less the $3,500 incentive is about $27,400. So, it does not appear that you have gotten into the dealer "holdback", which many of us have. If memory serves, I got a quote about a month back here in MD for my brother-in law on an EX-L AWD for about $27,000 even plus TTL.
So, you may be able to do better. Like you said, it all depends on the inventory on hand in a region.

Any News on Memorial Day Specials?

Honda typically has some decent specials for the Memorial Day Week-end...anybody hearing anything yet? With the number of '08 pilots on lots I figure that Honda may want to move 'em...especially with the '09 hitting the streets next week.
Thanks...
John

That's pretty impressive. Could you please tell us which dealership in MD did your brother-in-law get that offer from?

Those are usually regional / local deals. They already have $2,500 to $3,500 in dealer money and cheap financing, so unless they are going to drop the rate to 0.0% I am not sure what else they will do. Just wait and see, I guess, if you are not picky about model and colors. Some dealers have few of one model (VP) and a lot of loaded up models (EX-L w/Nav or RES). If your area dealerships are like that and you don't want the expensive models, waiting further reduces your choices.

I looked at the paperwork from the dealer, my memory of about 27 K was pretty much spot on. I don't know if I got a deal as a repeat customer of Pilots (thus my handle manypilots). The dealership is O'Donnell Honda in Ellicott City MD. I've loved the experience with them, from sales to service. They treat you right, like a valued customer. They are one of the bigger volume dealers in the Baltimore/DC area. You can check the inventory online.
Whether that deal still would hold, I don't know.....but we all know that the '09s are on the way, and the '08 inventory has to be moved.
I know I can't give sales person info here, but I would be happy to share the name of my sales guy. I enjoyed dealing with the young man both 4 years ago, and again just last month. But, I don't know how that would happen, as the terms of use don't allow email information to be posted.

Thanks a lot, Manypilots. O'Donnell Honda, I remember the name. Actually, I have been there one time but didn't talk to any salesperson. I definitely will check with them again.

You're at about $3200 under invoice. If you're taking low financing, I'd say this deal was pretty good. If you don't need financing, you should be able to get the full $3500 off, which should put you around $27,400 as someone said. Some people are getting into the holdback. But supply/demand play a key role in the negotiation. Please let us know what you do. Good luck!

One thing to keep in mind when purchasing out of state. You should double check with your DMV to see how they calculate tax. In Massachusetts, unless the dealer is registered with Massachusetts, they will use the NADA value (which in this case is MSRP) to calculate tax. This cost me a few hundred extra in tax versus buying from a registered Massachusetts dealer, where I believe the tax would have simply been calculated off the actual sale price. Check with your DMV how they handle this, this could be a factor in your pricing. Good luck.
