#12137 of 13792 2009 EXL 2WD Pilot by shopper20 Dec 07, 2008 (7:03 am)
I have also begun my shopping for a 2009 Pilot. So far the best quote I have been given is from a dealership in VA for $30,257 - below factory invoice according to Edmunds which is $30.433 for this model. They want to add the $670 dest fee and $399 processing fee, that plus TTL makes the $32,364. I know the processing fee is ridiculous but isn't the dest fee already supposed to be included in the factory invoice? I am also thinking about waiting to see what Honda offers for incentives since their November sales dropped by 32%. Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Dec 07, 2008 8:47 am)

Replying to: pilot21078 (Dec 06, 2008 10:22 pm) Just checking on the price you were offered and how you came to the $31,901 final. Are they telling you that they are subtracting the $670 dest fee from the original Internet selling price of $32,472 because everything I have seen in my quotes so far they expect you to add it which would bring the final Internet price to $33,241 I am still waiting for someone to answer my question about whether the dest fee isn't already included in the factory invoice and they are trying to increase their profit by acting like it isn't.

Replying to: shopper20 (Dec 07, 2008 7:34 am) I don't know how they came to that final internet price of $31,901. I've e-mailed them asking to clarify whether the final internet price is before destination/freight charges and the Maryland processing fee. I'm guessing that it is but I'll let you know.

Replying to: shopper20 (Dec 07, 2008 7:03 am) For 2009 EXL 2WD MSRP $33,595 is before $670.00 destination charge. If they show you this then they can add the dest..   If they show you MSRP 34,265 then you can assume they are doing double-dipping on the dest chg.
#12141 of 13792 Re: Price quote on 2009 Pilot EX-L AWD [shopper20] by bigdadi118 Dec 07, 2008 (8:53 am)
Replying to: shopper20 (Dec 07, 2008 7:34 am) The MSRP 09 EXL 4WD is $35,195 + 670 dest charge = $35,865 All depending on how MSRP amount that the ad. or the quote was based on. if all the negotiation started with $35,195 then it is OK to add dest., if it started with $35,865 then the dest should be included.

http://www.realcartips.com/articles/carbuying/how-to-buy-a-new-car.html    They do have a good thorough post on How To Buy A Car For The Lowest Price. It is just like the Donkey Punch method but more detailed ... Replies to this message: rexf (Dec 07, 2008 3:26 pm)

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Dec 07, 2008 8:58 am) That's a really good article. I would add one thing: recent research has shown that offering to pay 'cash' for a car does not result in a lower price. You should explore all options that the dealer has available for financing. Even if you intend to pay cash, do not disclose that until the end of the process. Also, some low interest loans allow you to prepay them anytime, without a penalty, which is basically a cash deal. So, if the price is lower if you take that kind of financing, you should explore that option. Armed with that article and other advice readily available on Edmunds.com, you should get an outstanding deal.
#12144 of 13792 Pilot Incentives Unlikely Soon by rexf Dec 07, 2008 (3:30 pm)
According to Honda, November 2008 sales of Pilots were up 4.5% over November 2007, although down 16% from year to year. Given the stringent production controls that Honda has in place, I think it's unlikely supply will be allowed to outpace demand; thus, it appears unlikely there will be incentives (apart from the odd lease deal) on the Pilot anytime soon. However, Honda dealerships have been hit with large downturns in the sale of every other model, so they need to sell any car they can, and should be willing to deal on Pilots. Happy shopping.
