Pathfinder vs Pilot by poodog13

Funny that the comparison arose, I have been thinking about a Pathfinder. I really wanted a Honda but didn't like the shape of the 08 (either from the outside or the impact it has on overall interior space). Now that they've basically mirrored the Pathfinder's profile, I'll be buying an 09 as soon as prices fall.

I just closed the deal on the '09 Pilot 4WD Touring with RES for $38,400 + taxes and fees (doc. and plates)- comes out to ~$41,300. MSRP was $40,630. If "waseem_marie" is correct about the 37,600 invoice price, the dealers (in CT) are willing to seel them for ~ 800 over invoice. I saved > $2200 off MSRP. I couldn't justify spending list on a Honda or any car for that matter. I think the dealers realize if they don't come down from list price quick they will lose customers to Toyota -- the Highlander has all the same bells and whistles (can easily get one for $38,000 loaded). That was my next stop if the price wasn't right for the Pilot!!

An 08 EX-L 4WD w/Nav would have been about $29,400 or less, and EX-L w/RES would have been about $28,800 or less. Probably $500 or so less depending on the dealer.
 
I am not sure paying $38,400 for the new 09 qualifies as much of a "deal" no matter that it was $800 over invoice. If you gotta have the 09, I would wait a few months (maybe weeks?) until Honda puts some dealer money on them.

The buyers, like "1st to own this all new Pilot", need to pay penalty, that is so and so add-on top of MSRP, leave alone invoice or below invoice w/incentive ...
 
Some are rich and money isn't a problem, plus the impluse.

That sounds terrible!!
 
I also ended up buying my '08 EX-L 2WD with navi 3 weeks ago from Honda of Pasadena for 27700 with an installed bluetooth. internet sales manager was excellent. no pressure. Very professional dealership.
 
Why the differing doc fee's. Does that depend on location/competition. I did not pay any. Just taxes and DMV fee. 30200 OTD
 
Went back to service my accord and was chatting with my salesman. He told me the '09 were not selling yet (only 1 sold in the last week). He said people buy the '08 after they see the cars lined up side to side. Looks like they had about 5 '08's on their lot with a lot of markups.

I have called around looking for an 2009 Pilot EX-L with RES and have received quotes at 35,380 before TTL. Will not buy at MSRP so will wait a couple months until prices come off.
 
On the post that you would upset about your neighbor mistaking your 09 Pilot for a Jeep... I would not too upset ... Jeep = pile of crap no matter what the price... probably cost you $10 grand in maintenance over 5-7 years

I'm currently in touch with 2 local dealers about an 09 pilot. I want a sterling grey EX-L RES with black interior. One dealership has told me they will have it mid-June and can deal on price..the other dealership is on the other side of town from where I live, but wants my business, so I bluffed a little and told them that I was being offered it for 1500 over invoice, but that I would give them a chance to earn my business if they would give it to me for 1000 over invoice, plus a greater allowance on my trade in (99 toytota 4 runner sr5). I'm currently awaiting their reply, but they claim that they can do a 'dealer locate' and have it on their lot within a week or so.
 
Assuming from what I've read in here that the invoice pricing is running about 3k less than msrp (but also not subtracting the 3% honda holdback in order to give the dealer some incentive to sell), I'm looking to pay about 34,200 before taxes, fees and trade.
