Price I got for an EX-L and gap ins by baw214

I just bought an EX-L in Milwaukee and got 29,800 including towing harness and crossbars. FYI, I don't know what they sell "gap insurance" for, but they do try to scare the hell out of you to get you to buy it. I called my car insurance co. today--two days after I bought the car, and "gap" insurance is $6--not by the month, not by the year, but for the entire length of the policy. Don't buy gap insurance at the dealer!

Denver Area 4WD Pilot EX-L and Touring Pricing by cbfdnvr

I need some help!!! I have recently started looking in the Denver area for a 2009 Pilot EX-L 4WD w/ RES, or the 2009 Touring 4WD w/ RES (Depends on what the boss/wife decides). I have started to receive quotes from the dealerships that are right at invoice, which I know is ridiculous with the 1500 incentive running through 6/30/09, 2% holdback, the 2010's coming out and the general state of the auto industry. If anyone has recently bought either of these 4WD Pilot models near Denver, I would appreciate a heads up on what you paid in your case, so I can have a general idea of what they are going for around here. Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I am wanting to buy a 2009 EXL in South Carolina. Would it be best that I wait a little bit, if so how much longer. I really need to buy soon. Also what would be the best price I could ask for with the 2010's out.

We bought the Bali Blue Pearl 2009 Honda Pilot Touring with RES and NAVI 2WD with gray leather interior. As I said, this is truly the most painless alternative to going in and dealing with dealers ever. I know my time is valuable, and so is my sanity. Buying a new car without having to deal with the salesman, the "closer," the sales manager, the finance guy, etc... and having someone also negotiate my used car trade in value and handle all of the paperwork, and also having the new car delivered to my driveway and my trade-in driven away is the BEST thing ever as it relates to buying a new car.

Although I live in Iowa...I just purchased a 09 EXL RES 4x4 for $31,585 plus 149 doc fee and TTL. I needed a car and felt 6k off was reasonable. I had them throw in the all season mats. They had to go 250 mi to get the color combo I wanted (blk/gray).

Bought a 4WD EX-L back in early February at Planet Honda, they had the best price in the Denver area at that time. Did all of the dealing over the internet and got the vehicle with the black side steps installed for $30881 total (not including tax). It would have been $30612 if I would have bought it out of their stock, but they had to get it from elsewhere, so that was an extra $269. The guy I dealt with was very good and it all went smoothly. Initially they did not offer very good financing, but I had brought in a quote from USAA and they ended up beating it. Did not have a trade in.

New EX-L (RES) 2WD pricing. by techmine

Got it for 32,400 out of the door. I am not sure whether it is a good or bad deal but too much calculation also becomes a pain in the end.
 
Later I found in one of my notebooks (my own notes) that the best price to pay for this model would be 31,800 OTD (including $600 worth of accessories) .
 
Looking at the trends and what others are paying and many Honda dealers around Dallas metroplex, I think I might have paid $500-600 more. Again, you learn from your experience!!
 
I like the SUV a lot. The road grip is great and so is the sound system. Nice backup camera. Noisy on the road though. I expected a quieter cabin. It is also pulling to the right which I am going to show to the dealer.

Since when did the EX-L with RES started having the backup camera?
Are you sure that u did not buy the Touring?

Huge inventory of '09 EXLs by kellysim

I think you should read my post again. I said that the Honda to dealer incentive will go to $6k by the end of the year. To me seven (7) months isn't "overnight".
 
Honda hasn't dropped production on the 2010s by all that much. What's more important is the spread between demand and supply, and demand is very low.
 
I'm making a prediction, just like I made about the release date for the '10s. I said they'd be out by July, and they are out in June. Others said September or November or something like that. I'm also telling you that there will be a $6k incentive on the remaining '09 EXLs and they will be available well into 2010. The Tourings and the EXs and the LXs will be gone, but there will continue to be a huge inventory of EXLs. Just like the release date on the '10s, we'll soon know whether I'm right again or not.
 
Checking vehix,com, there are 900 Honda Pilot '09s within 100 miles of me. That's a massive glut, and I assure you, they aren't going to move them all (or even 1/3 of them) at $3k under. You may not like it, but it is what it is.
 
Good luck.
