Replying to: lufaca (Oct 01, 2008 7:45 am) When I was looking for one in late August / early September, out of the 4 Honda dealers I went to, only 1 had any 2008 Pilots left, terrible selection too (no EX-L or Touring). Maybe in other markets (I'm in St. Louis) that may not be the case, but over here, 2008 models are virtually gone. I hope for other interested buyers the incentive will come back soon; personally I wouldn't hold my breath until next month. Hondanews also list Pilot sales as the second least declining compared to September year-ago; if Honda wants to provide incentive, they would be better off giving it to other models (Odyssey for instance) - again this is just conjecture on my part. On a side note, I got my pilot at the last day of the incentive and we did 2.9% financing (which was the lowest financing available then); two weeks later, the dealer called and said that he can give the 0.9% financing, so that was pretty sweet

Replying to: poodog13 (Oct 02, 2008 8:14 am) Now there's something that I still can't get my head around... Why did Honda offer cash incentives on the '09 Pilots right out of the gate?? |

Replying to: lufaca (Oct 02, 2008 12:03 pm) Manufacturers provide incentives either as part of a marketing budget or to balance supply and demand to meet fixed-volume manufacturing requirements. This isn't my opinion, it is fact. The likely reason that early incentives were offered is to get a quantity of vehicles on the road for "drive-by" marketing purposes. Commercials and print ads only do so much to get people interested in a vehicle, sometimes it takes sitting next to one at a red light for 30 seconds to really catch your eye.
