In the greater L.A. area, I just bought a white w/gray 4WD Touring for $35,150, including destination charge, from Goudy Honda in Alhambra. Had go through the ritual knife-fight-in-a-telephone-booth with the junior sales guy, then the sales manager. Luckily I brought along a notebook that was running an Excel model that I had built to analyze the costs. Paid another $1,700 for the 7yr/120K/$0-deductible Honda Car warranty (I probably could've ground away another $4-500 on that, but it was getting late, and my wife wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home.) According to a source at San Diego dealer, there were only six 4WD Touring models in the entire SoCal market (spanning Santa Barbara to San Diego) - four were black/black (at least two of which did not have the RES,), one Sterling/blue (no RES), and one white/gray (w/RES - the one we bought.) Three, possibly, four, were at this particular dealer. In a call earlier in the day, the sales manager let it slip that their sales are down to 3-400, from a norm of 5-600, so grab them by the throat and squeeze. Hope this helps!

I went 60 miles out to L.A. to Goudy's after coming to an internet agreement - and, making clear I didn't want any dealer add-ons, mop-n-glow, rust-proofing (I'm the one who has bought those in the past!), etc. The salesman was very professional and informative to my older sons (explaining the NAV, so they can re-explain it to me!) and sweet to my 5 year old who has to go where I go because she has continual IV's running - he let her sit in the display Odyssey watching "Ice Age" on the RES while we completed the paperwork. The Finance manager didn't try to sell me anything but the extended warranty. It was SO nice not to be or feel pressured! Thank you to this forum for showing me how to go at buying a car the right way......it was actually a fun experience!  Char in California (no longer "CalifLookieLoo"!)

Replying to: CalifLookieLoo (Apr 11, 2009 5:45 pm) Yeah, it really doesn't take much for that warranty to pay for itself. On my '03 Accord, three motor mount bushings needed to be replaced  98K miles - total cost: $1,800. Because of the warranty, I paid nothing.

Replying to: spectre357 (Apr 11, 2009 5:22 pm) As best I can tell, that's a good price. I've been talking to dealers for a couple of weeks now (in the Denver, CO metro area). The best I've been able to do for a new 4wd Touring with Nav & Res is $35,500....for white or dark cherry. I can also get a sterling gray metallic demo with 5000 miles on it for $35,200...or a new sterling gray metallic w/o RES for $34,580. These prices include all dealer fees but don't include sales tax. Denver seems to be in a Honda Pilot "bubble". I can't seem to get close the prices I've seen posted on here. |

I just leased an 09 EX 3/36k miles for 300/mo +TTL. Gross Cap costs were $29042 and the residual is $17k. I plan to buy it after the 3 years so this was all about cash flow. Is anyone else leasing 09 EX's? Was this a good deal? I think it was, but it is my first lease experience
