The Houston dealers are a tight group and know they're being shopped when emailed. I just bought an 08 Pilot a month ago and realized quickly they didn't respond well to bringing up I can go down the road...I had the most leverage with the 08 as an outgoing model. Also, I felt they were playing pretty heavy hardball knowing the current onslaught of people coming in for all the 4 bangers for gas mileage...their volumes are high right now in other words. Baytown Honda is a good suggestion. I have heard Gunn Honda in San Antonio does pretty well but have not gone there myself. Reach outside of Houston and you'll probably get more leverage. Good luck. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 20, 2008 8:17 am) Its common for dealers to work the few new models arriving for a few weeks or months at msrp to the just gotta have the latest crowd. One would think this would be a shorter period this year than most for the pilot. Given it may be hard to trade in a 08 pilot 12 months from now for 12000 off msrp, I really wouldn't be jumping at the 09 for less than 5000-6000 off. Good luck --jjf So there is nothing I can do legally to make them honor the quote? |

Replying to: hle81 (Jun 19, 2008 5:01 pm)  Ridiculous!! Needless to say we will never in a million years will ever go there again and called Honda to complain about their tactics. In "revenge" we stopped every single person we could and told them about the previous dealer we went (were we finally ended buying the car) that had better prices and treat their customers like family... a few people actually left  (to hopefully buy someplace else). We didn't hide our anger for being duped either...

Replying to: rbiesel (Jun 20, 2008 8:49 am) Contact Bob Schlabach at Huggins Honda In North Richland Hills. Tell him MC from Colony sent you. I drove 30 miles to buy from this guy. We truly closed the deal via the internet. I e-mailed him detailed pictures of my trade and he gave me a trade price that did not change when I got there. I did send him very detailed photos though,about 20 of them. I was a uch smoother and honest internet purchasing experience. I bought a 2008 SE 2wd from him. There are tons of those available in DFW. Not quite as many VP's but Bob is looking to get rid of the 2008 Pilots. Please let me know what happens. I think he will work hard to get your business. (reply to this with your e-mail and I we can talk more about it.) MC

I am working with a dealer on an 08 4x4 EX-L RES, have not put on the table yet that I want to add the tow package. (Both coolers, hitch, harness, ball). I called another dealer and asked the service dept how much the parts and labor would be to install and they indicated it would cost 1260. There is a build a pilot WWW site that I found which indicates the package (when you add it to a car at purchase) might be closer to 900. Just want to get an idea what folks are generally getting it for before I negotiate. There is a chance my purchase might take place after 30 June. Anyone know what is expected on 1 July and after as I think I read that one of the incentives expires at end of June. Is something better traditionally on the horizon for July? Thanks |

Replying to: mc4nam (Jun 20, 2008 12:03 pm) AND dealer installed options for 34,900 and FWD 09 touring with RES not including dealer options for 35,800 I think the first quote is the best deal
