Replying to: mitch65 (Oct 15, 2008 8:00 am) You can check out the VIN by doing a car fax - Second when you and I speak of new vehicle it should have less that 25 miles. when the dealer speaks of NEW they are saying its new to THEIR inventory and it may have hundreds of miles on it. So be careful. Third the reason I do not like to throw out numbers first is that the dealer has a price he wants to move the vehicle - since this is a 2005, IMO you should start with 23 - 25 K. you may also want to see what other 2005's are selling for at other dealers . I suggest you go to: DealersOverstock.com, Autotrader.com. edmunds.com, carsdirect.com . Hope this helps you - FRED

Also the part of the dealer not willing to provide a VIN until you buy just does not sound right. Lotsa of luck to you! |

Replying to: fred25 (Oct 16, 2008 7:22 pm) I highly doubt that a dealer can say "new" and it not be truly "new" as a consumer would understand it. I'm sure the state AG would have something to say about that. And it's not as if a salesperson told me it was new as in a conversation. It's on eBay as new and on their website inventory where you can search "used" and "new". It boggles my mind how the salesgirl could in the same paragraph tell me it has over 50k miles on it and still call it "new". Anyway, Paragon Honda in Queens has blown my trust in them and I'm not going to pursue it with them any longer. They really know how to insult your intelligence. Ironic considering most car buyers are smarter than the salespeople! Now how do I get them to stop calling me at home!!

Are we still talking about a 2005 Pilot? Let's move on..... |

I am ready to purchase my 2009 Pilot EXL. I am trying to find what others are paying in my area and not having any luck. KBB shows MSRP  $34,265, invoice $31,102 and Market Price $33,580 - only $685 under MSRP. Edmunds isn't helping either. My last car (Suburban) was purchased at $500 over invoice. Am I in LA-LA land thinking that I might get the same deal from Honda? I'm in Lafayette, LA. Has anyone recently purchased the EXL in my area and what did you pay?

Replying to: jetboat76 (Oct 19, 2008 4:46 am) *edit* I looked at your Honda website and EXL 2WD MSRP is 33,595. My dealer is 34,265. I guess mine includes the 670 destination charge. Any advice for me? I'm planning on trading my 2003 Suburban.

Replying to: nucargurl (Oct 19, 2008 6:04 am) I would think you should be able to get the 2WD version for $1000-1500 less. |
