Thanks for all who have responded. I will be checking these 2 dealerships in next few days. Looking for 4WD due to snow in the NorthEast (I live within driving distance to the 2 dealerships in PA and WV).
 
Yeah, the Touring was not there in 08. So, I would be go for an EXL. Saw some good offers on 09 Touring, but I guess I am still interested in 08s.

I just leased an 09 EX 3/36k miles for 300/mo +TTL. Gross Cap costs were $29042 and the residual is $17k.
 
You obviously put down a ton of cash or traded in for several thousand. I know this because your Gross Cap minus Residual is $12,042, divide by 36 = $334.50. At .00151 the Rent Charge is another $70. That's $404.50 plus tax. Probably doesn't include acquistion fee either.

Don't know what your tax rate is, but any dealer around here their starting asking price is $31k for an EXL 4WD (not 2WD). Plus $1860 tax (6%) plus $100 title/tag/reg comes to $32960 and that's a pretty bad deal (you are paying their top price). If that other crap is worth $5k to you then that might be a different story (it's worth about $100 to me personally).
 
Advice: wait

I got a quote for 30,200 for an EXL 4WD in the mail... I didn't even go to the dealership. I'm in the Cincinnati area. That quote includes everything but tax and your extra options. I'm going to wait for the 2010s and try to get an '09 for 26-28K.

Dear Kellysim,
Where are you located? I've been looking for a 4WD EX-L in Michigan and the best I was offered is 39,795 plus tax, documentation, etc. And they were not budging at all. I offered them $30,000 out the door and they all but said I was insane. Maybe I'm just a bad negotiatior.... Is there a way to find out when 2010 models come out?

You won't get a EXL '09 for 30k out the door in MI, MI hasa 6% sales tax, so that's impossible. Out the door means with tax/tags/reg/title.
 
I'm in PA. Philadelphia area. The guy who said that they offered him an EXL for $30,200 in OH out the door is mistaken (OH has a 5.5% sales tax). They might've offered it for $30,200 without tax and without tags. Maybe if you reside in DE or AK where there's no sales tax you could get it for something like that, maybe.
 
Waiting for the '10s is your best bet. At that time they'll be very eager to get rid of this EXL inventory. There's a lot of it. Every dealer around here has at least 10 of them and some have 30. I would've waited if I could. I had to buy because I needed the vehicle for my job.
 
Good luck.

Socal Shopping Experience by daddyyankee

Just started shopping for a Pilot today in So Cal. So far these are the prices I am being quoted:
 
LX 2wd- up to $1,500 below invoice
EX 2wd- up to $2,200 below invoice
EX-L 2wd- up to $2,500 below invoice
 
Don't be fooled by low dealer stock. According to this article written in Feb 09 the factory is producing way too many: http://blog.al.com/assembly-lines/2009/02/
The dealerships are so overstocked with vehicles that they don't have room to store slow selling models like the Pilot. That's why inventory appears to be low. The excess inventory of Pilots is being stored at the factory. I agree with Kellysim that the $1,500 dealer subsidy for the Pilot is weak. I have not seen a single 09 Pilot being driven around in So. Cal in the past 6 months !!! The 09 Pilot seems to be selling as poorly as the S2000's. Honda will have not choice but to substantially bump up the incentive in order to clear inventory. In So Cal, most dealers only have the EX-L and up. No one is interested in $35k to $40k SUV's these days. I am going to hold out for another couple months and try to get $10k off MSRP for an EX-L.

Kellysim, thank you for your response. I thought I saw you mention in one of your earlier posts that an EX-L should be about 28K now. That, with MI sales tax, documentation fee, title and plates comes to about 29,900 - that's where I came up with 30K. The dealers around don't seem to think so I was just curious if where you are, the actual cars are selling for cheaper for some reason. I am going to wait another month and see if they can offer me anything better at the end of May. Is there a way to find out when 2010 come out?
