Replying to: poodog13 (Oct 02, 2008 8:14 am) Not quite that simple. Honda might decrease production but there are a lot of competitors in the current market, and I can honestly say that looks wise some are much more attractive that the new HONDA Pilot. My bet, We will see more incentives as they sell off all the 2008 models. Hang in there.

Replying to: lufaca (Oct 02, 2008 12:03 pm) Let me get this straight.....the existence of competition results in a need for incentives? Just not true. And the 2008 inventory levels are already near zero (from a statistically significant perspective).   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.

Replying to: poodog13 (Oct 03, 2008 5:52 am) Allow me to respectfully disagree with you : ) . The only reason they have incentives is because they have not sold the inventory as planned. Just a few years back Honda used to no deal with you because they knew that behind you there was another willing buyer to pay full price. This is not the case in the current market. The only way they are able to clear inventory is through incentives (either financing and or rebates). The competition has stiffened and now Honda is willing to negotiate with their prices. I bet money the rebates in the 2009 will come back either late this year or by spring of 2009. It will be a fact.

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
#11976 of 13720 Just my luck by scottgbwi Oct 03, 2008 (9:55 am)
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. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Oct 03, 2008 12:06 pm) dacc0917 (Oct 04, 2008 3:23 am)
#11977 of 13720 2008 SE pricing by pdx22 Oct 03, 2008 (11:01 am)
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 Replies to this message: wrobak (Oct 07, 2008 7:50 pm)

Replying to: scottgbwi (Oct 03, 2008 9:55 am) Out of luck? Probably   Out of line to be upset? No, I would be, too   Some sort of legal right to the car? Doubtful.. nothing worth pursuing..   I'd just say, "No way".. then, see what happens... A deal is a deal.. if they won't deal, then write them off..

Replying to: scottgbwi (Oct 03, 2008 9:55 am) if I were you, I would start over with a new dealer. And if you can wait, order the car you want. just tell them to put it on order in their weekly buy. And you should deduct another $150ish because they won't have to pay a floor plan expense on the car.

Finally bought my Black 2009 Pilot EX-L 2wd auto for $30,500. This includes the Doc fee, but not TTL. Have them install running boards with lights for additional $800. Drove it home last night....loving it. This is in Norman,Oklahoma.
