Honda Pilot LX by ray1995

I purchased a 2009 Honda Pilot LX for $24,500 with taxes and other fees came to $26,912 towards late October. This was the base model at a MSRP of $28,295. I got 0.9% financing for 36 mths and will pay $290 in interest over 3 years.
 
Purchase Location: San Bernadino, CA.
 
I added the DVD and navigation system from another auto installer. Did not feel it was worth it to pay the extra premium when I there was a potential to save further.
 
Two of the larger dealers out here, Penske & Autonation, were quoting almost $2,000 over that price, and one dealer went with the line "if something is cheap...".
The dealers still call me after I have informed them that I have already purchased a vehicle.
 
I did my research on the internet, and the winning dealership quoted me the price on the phone. Some dealers will not match unless you have a written quote.
 
Hope this helps out other buyers..
 
My advice is "Buy at the end of the month". A lot of dealers are laying off their salespeople and sadly, that is an opportunity for the buyer.

I was considering a lease prior to my purchase. Your numbers look very competitive to lease quotes out here in northern california for the same vehicle. I shopped around to at least 10 dealerships.

When you say " they look very competitive"...do you mean they look like a better deal than you have been seeing in your dealerships or do you mean they are on par with what you are seeing around ?
 
The reason I ask is because, i usually haggle alot to aggressively get to where I want to be with monthly payments when I lease but this time around I didnt have the energy to go thru the weeks of haggling, debating, shopping it around so I just basically told the rep, this is what I can pay and if you cant do it, then its not in my budget to get a 2nd car....so im wondering if that actually worked out for me better than the weeks of haggling in the past

your total payment of 15732 is within +/-$200 of quotes I was receiving, which is basically the depreciation estimation. Based on my research, this was a good lease price.
 
I am not sure if you did or not, but it is helpful to go to consumer reports and pay $15 for all the dealer costs (invoice, holdback, incentives, etc..) for the vehicle you are interested in buying. This gives you a baseline to negotiate with the saleperson. It also gives you piece of mind that you did not overpay.

I took my 1st trip to a dealership yesterday, just to see one. I have to admit, it is a beautiful machine. (referring to the EXL 4wd with res). It looks huge but then I've never owned a truck so some may disagree with that statement. I didn't test drive because I knew I wasn't buying and didn't want to cost a salesman another potential sale. But I had to laugh watching him say with a straight face how none of this credit stuff going on is affecting sales, especially pilots. I asked about potential cash back or some recycling program for Dec. but he knew of none.

2009 Honda Pilot EXL AWD by bossoxfan

Leasing a 2009 Pilot EXL AWD for $350/month (including 5% tax) for 36 months with a total of $2,750 at signing (including TTL, 1st, destination and $1405 down). 51% Residual ($18,250) on $35,850 MSRP.
 
My math is probably fuzzy, but I figure I'm paying $333X36+$1,405+$18,250=$31,643 for the car (if I decide to buy it) (and that includes 36 months of financing on the lease term).
 
I leveraged Boch and Herb Chambers.
