Thats funny!
 
Dropping my drawers would cost more than a hundred Big Boy.
 
I did call them on the advertising fee', told them it was left field, not the first time I have heard it.
 
I could have hammered them for a few hundred more dollars, but at what cost. Dealer is right up the street, they give loaner cars, 15% off accessories.
  Honda salesmen have to make a living too. I was happy to pay $200 or $300 hundred over invoice for a Chevy, or Ford. I know about hold backs 2 to 3% MSRP, and yes they are probably hidden bonuses they get.
 I think invoice is a great deal. This is a tough crowd, lighten up Scrooge.

I was not hit with a "advertising fee". I paid $35,900 with the lighted running boards installed. Then tax, lic, reg. They did not hit me with any other "fee's". The Honda price on the running boards is $ 710.00 (Im sure the real price is much lower). I feel I did pretty good figuring the advertised invoice with destination is $ 35,440 and got the running boards for $460.00 installed. Got the car at South Bay Honda in Los Gatos, Ca.

2009 pilot EXL .....Boston 2009 Pilot by cdolan59

I am looking to get a 2009 Pilot, 2wd possibly 4wd EXL.
I am in Boston. Most dealers do not have 2wd, but if I could get good enough savings i will travel out of state to get the car. 4wd is an option too, but prefer 2wd. Sales tax in Massachusetts is 5%.
My lease on a Ford is up in february. Should I wait?
 
Can anyone tell me what my best price should be? I had quote in Boston area for $30,715 with destination 4wd, 29,889 with destination 2wd. This does not include TTL.

2009 Pilot sale in Nov went up about 5% than Nov last year. Probably not a good Dec month to make a good deal as Honda will hold on the incentive on Pilot for now.
 
I think the only incentive was $1,500 discount on leasing last month. Even Boch Honda took the Pilot away on Weekly Promotion this week.

If that 29,889 is for 2wd EXL, that seems very good, my initial quote was almost 2K more.

My quote only included destination. Tax + license were separate. Hope that helps.

MN Pilot Touring with RES and Options by nfusion770
Dec 03, 2008 (3:41 pm)

I went quote hunting the other day and the best I got on a Touring with RES, lighted running boards, wiring harness, and cross bars was $37,306 (plus TTL). I intended only to add gap insurance at 7 bucks a month or so, but finally agreed to the extended warranty at $1000 when I told him I could get it online for $700. I think a few of my accessories were on the high end of quotes, but the base of the car was a pretty decent deal I think. I could have saved a few hundred on the warranty, but it is easier just to get it at the dealer. Amazing how convinced they are in the benefits of seal coating everything- $100 says they'd decline these inflated add ons on their personal vehicles.
 
All in all we are happy with the experience. The sales person was very understanding of the fact that we owned a previous generation Pilot and were not interested in being taught how to use the shifter and the steering wheel- I give him a lot of credit for that. He was also the only salesperson (out of 6) that actually read my quote request and directly quoted me the options I requested- that was nice. The others took anywhere from 2 to 5 emails to give me quotes on 2 models and various add ons- one didn't even respond to followup emails.

bah humbug
 
do i want to help the economy?
sure
 
will i do this by willingly paying more than I have to.... ??
 
would anyone?
 
i dont care about honda. if they want to trick the public into thinking they are for the community by giving loaner cars and 15% off accessories (that are already marked about 200%).. fine.. but I work hard for my money.. I pay taxes on my money. I spend my already taxed income on new goods that i get retaxed on.. so if haggling over even a penny makes me a scrooge..
 
BAH HUMBUG
 
Ask the sales manager this.. "Tell you what, if you give me 1k below invoice, how about I take all your kids to school and pick them up everyday for a year. Not only that I will mow your lawn twice a month"
 
See if he gives a rat's arse about you or anything else you can do for him except pay your money.
 
its my money... I will not be taken advantage of anymore than i have to.. I will bet you are somewhat the same, otherwise, you wouldnt be on this site trying to find the best deals. What do they care anyway? I only costs Honda like 4k to make one of these cars.
 
I will bet Mr Honda himself lives in a solid platinum house on the moon with a pool filled with Cristal Champagne and he uses $100 bills as the lining for his Lion Cage.
while his harem of playboy centerfolds and pornstars sleep on pure chincilla matresses and feed solely on kobe beef prepared from the real Morimoto (the one they abducted. the one on earth is a robot, for cover)
 
BAH HUMBUG
 
and happy holidays

Honda 2009 Pilot Pricing / Financing by todd

Hello
 
Does anyone know if I am getting a good deal on the quote I received for a 2009 Honda Pilot 4Wd/w/Res. The price the Dealership is giving me includes destination charge and is $33,500. I am also getting a price for installed premier running boards of $522. Can anyone offer me any help as to whether they think this would be a good deal. I have shopped around to get to this price. Is there more negotiating room?

2009 EX-L 2WD by zorkon

Was quoted a price of $30,200, with $1500 down to get 60 month 3.9% financing.
 
Monthly payment of $575 after TTL
 
It's a lower price quote than I got a few months back back when they were giving me BS quotes of 1000 off MSRP, but is this a good price? Got a feeling it could be 1k lower.
