Replying to: kellysim (Apr 08, 2009 4:12 am) Hi, I have been following along with all the posts for a couple days because I am in the market for an '09 Pilot EX-L 4wd. Right now the MSRP is 35,900. So are you saying 6K off that price or the dealer invoice? Here's my strategy... I guess we will see how it works. I sent out 73 letters to dealers within 150 miles of me. I live in Cincinnati. I just sent them out and I have 3 back already as of yesterday. Best offer so far is 30,600 not including tax and title. So you are saying hold out for 29,900?? Or are you thinking even lower. I would love to buy this car for 28,000. I think that would be a steal! My Toyota Takoma failed the frame inspection recall so right now I'm driving their loaner car and I'm supposed to get about a 10K check from them in the next couple weeks('97 Takoma 4x4 w/ 143K miles)!! So the most I can hold out is about a month or so. Thanks for your help. |

Replying to: kellysim (Apr 08, 2009 6:42 am) Does this same advice to wait awhile longer apply to the touring trim level as well? I haven't done the mass email approach....have talked to dealers either in person or on the phone....and still cannot get them to budge below the internet invoice price. |

I'm still about 6 weeks away from purchasing so there is a chance that I'll find MY Touring. Color is REALLY important to me. I'm just wondering if would I be better off with a EXL and add on the Navi & Bluetooth? Has anyone done this? How much were the add ons? On a different note: Are the door panels different from EXL to Touring? I have only been in an EXL.

Replying to: nate25 (Apr 08, 2009 6:08 am) Even if you drive 75 miles to get the car, they realize you won't bring there for service, so you may not see many replies from the out of town ones. I have bought my last few cars via internet shopping and completed the deal through the phone. If you are a serious buyer, focus on the local dealers. You may find one 75 miles away who wants to push some metal or has your color and trim for the right price... |

Replying to: kellysim (Apr 08, 2009 6:42 am) Is there any advantage to paying cash? |

| Last August, my nephew and his wife paid $27,000.00 including tt&l for a loaded 2008 Honda Pilot. Not sure what model it is, but it's 2wd, leather, sunroof, dvd player, etc. He was looking at a Hyundai Santa Fe at the time, and his wife had spoken with a saleperson at the Hyundai dealership on a specific model. When the Hyundai salesman pulled the Sante Fe around for them to look at, it wasn't the model they had previously discussed. He and his wife drove across the street with his check from the bank........he told them $27,000.00.......no more, no less. They walked out that evening with their new Honda. | |
