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.

You are both Correct. Supply and demand does play a part as does inventory. Each manufacturer has they own formula. But, bear in mind, current market conditions are not like anyone has ever experienced. Most vehicles are sold with credit, and right now credit is at a standstill. What we do not know is how long Honda dealers can keep current prices without incentives in this uncertain market. Fred I |

I signed the contract & put money down on a car that was intransit to another dealer. I was to pick up in a few days. I just got call saying the other dealer had 4 grand worth of extras on it & I can't get that car unless I pay extra. Am just plain out of luck here? Or am out of line to be upset & think I should have a some sort of legal right to the car? I'm put a ton of effort looking at cars & we finally found the one & color we wanted. Apparently there are no other ones like it of the color in the state.

I've been following this board off and on for quite awhile, given the current market I was testing the waters. I have two offers for a 2008 SE for ~$26,800 using request a quote from the Honda website. I have two questions: How much (if any) negotiation room is there? Is there reason to buy now, or wait? I'm not in a hurry. Thank you all
