| I'm in Southeastern PA and received 8 quotes for 4WD EXL ranging from 30,900 to 32,250. The majority are 31,100 to 31,500. The 32,250 quote came from "PA's #1 Honda Dealer 2008" and they have 25 EXL's in stock. I had to call to make certain they didn't give me a quote for EXL w/RES. She told me that it was for an EXL and they would match a price quote in writing. This dealer has 1 Sterling Gray versus 8 Billet Silver and 10 DC Pearl. She told me there is not difference in price as long as they have it in stock. I spoke to a few other dealers and they seemed to not budge on the price. I'll wait a bit longer, but I see a handful of Sterling Gray out of 100 or so EXL's and I certainly do not want to have to select between a Billet Silver w/blue and Nimbus Gray with Brown. | |

My experience is that most are honest and make a decent living doing what they like. It will probably never happen, but unless it becomes a one price, no negotiating transaction there will forever be that battle between salesperson and customer. I simply believe that buying a car at MSRP or anywhere under that is a good deal regardless of race, gender, profession and anything else you stated as "targets".

One to make it one to save it. If as a consumer you do not try to save as much as you can on such a large purchase then that is your fault. I respect you and your profession as i know it is not an easy one. |

So I bought the demo model with 6k miles here in Northern CA. I finally believe that the term "Car salesman " should be a cuss word after trying to buy this model from the honda $tealers in the SFO bay area. One of them sleazball really irked me. I had repeatedly confirmed that I was talking about buying it based on invoice price and he assured me that he will not lose my business on price. Well that was for sure right. He lost my business based on his stupidity and greed. I drove about an hour to get to his location and while my wife and I are trying to ecide on a color he comes and tells me since they are the only $teeler who has these models that they will only work on MSRP. I walked out of there within 2 minutes.  Anyways similar stories at all the $teelers in bay area and I am surprised that none of the guys had this in stock and was ready to work on the price. Finally my wife saw this demo model with 6k miles but fully loaded with all the accessories and the color we both liked. After going back and forth a few times we settled on $38k + tax /lic. The truck has all the accessories that you can select on honda website, and if I add the list price on all of them it comes to about $4100. So the MSRP on the car is about $45k invoice price is $40k. The warranty extends to 42k miles so I am happy about that. Did I get a good deal??? |

I'm eagerly and wholeheartedly trying to purchase my first Honda after being a longtime Toyota fanboy but there is no one in my area who has anything in stock that is remotely close to what I want. Looking for an 09 AWD Pilot Touring with Nav/DVD in either of the grays with black interior. Is there a shortage of 2009 due to 2010 coming soon? |
