6K is highly unlikely because Honda does much better job than GM on their inventory. But then I am not the expert. At the most, it can double to 3K. This plus very controlled roll out of the 2010 models. Is there any comparison chart for 2009 and 2010?

All of thsi makes my head spin. I am still torn between the touring and EXL coupled with the color choices left for 09 in my area. Of course the sales person tried to tell me that Alabaster silver is the same color as silver billet... just renamed. I will be curous if they roll out any finance specials like 2.9 for 36 months.

I used a company called Authority Auto to find my car, do all my negotiating, and arrange for shipping and my trade in on my behalf. I never had to go into the dealership or talk to the salesman, my "auto buying concierge" did everything for me, and they delivered the car to my driveway and took my trade in. It was the most painless car purchase I ever did, and I got a pretty good deal.

Scott Sherman was my concierge. If you are having trouble with your dealer, just have these guys do everything for you, and you will get a much better deal than if you bought on your own.

It's too bad you're in California, since that $1,415 (6yr/120K) warranty can be bought online from certified dealers for $965 (but I don't think they can sell to California). Congrats on the Touring (4WD?).

2wd, and got the Blue that my wife wanted. My guy negotiated and got FREE shipping of the car to my house from Northern California down to LA, since the blue was nowhere to be found in SoCal.
 
Thanks....

Here's the link again for the fellow who asked for it
 
http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2009/05/2010-honda-pilot-on-sale-today-no-upd- ates.html
 
Honda will be offering a $6k incentive to dealer to move the '09 EL-Ls by the end of the year. There is no way that they will move all those EXLs without it.
 
Also there will be a glut of 2010s. They are scheduled to make as many of these as they made of the 2009s and demand is miserable.
 
Dealers are liars. They said that the 2010 Pilot wouldn't be out until september. It's out in June. They say that there is "strong" demand for the Pilot, there isn't, 2009 or 2010, it doesn't matter. They will continue to have substantial trouble moving either year. Watch and see.
 
Not an expert either, it's just obvious what will happen given the economic situation.

how does the factory to dealer incentive go up 400% overnight? You still haven't explained how that happens. The lack of demand hasn't come out of nowhere - I don't think you'll see the 2010s flying off the assembly lines. Honda will slow production and has probably already done so.
 
it appears the 09 Touring Models are already in low supply - the Touring buyers will look at the EX-L which has a larger supply and may provide the best value. It will trickle down from there.
 
While the incentive may go up - its likely it goes up only a modest amount and is paired with a financing offer 2.9% or something similar. When will this happen nobody knows - Sept Oct Nov?? Then its the 09 leftovers

mind telling us the vehicle you bought and price paid? I didn't go this route but I thought about it - if you are traveling/busy to do all the legwork - this might be a painless alternative
