| Hey folks - just wanted to know what price you think would be reasonable on a 4WD Touring w/ DVD with 5500 miles on it? The initial quote from the dealer is $35,476 including destination. MSRP is $40,765. Obviously the intial quote is too high, but I'm not sure how low to go and still be reasonable. I'm thinking $31,500 incl destination for a demo seems ok assuming it's in great condition, but not sure if that's in the ball park. Any thoughts? | |

So does anyone know if there are new dealer incentives for 09 Pilots in this month of July?

I need some help on which way to go, an '09 or '10 Pilot EX-L. Here are the deals on the table out of Jay Wolfe Honda in KC. '09 EX-L 4WD with RES, $33,583 OTD, TMV pricing $34,330, INV $34,085 '10 EX-L 4WD no RES, $33,313 OTD, TMV pricing $ 35,578, INV $32,814 I really don't need the RES. I usually keep my vehicles about 7-8 years so I don't think it would make much of a difference on resale by then. Both deals look good against the TMV but not so good against some of the deals I've seen discussed here, especially from Hendrick Honda in VA. I think I also read here recently that to make an '09 deal stack up against a '10, I'd really need to pull about another $4000 off of the $33,583 quote I have, for the first year's depreciation, meaning $ 29,583 for the '09. MO doesn't charge sales tax but when I register the car I'd have state and city taxes equal to 5.475% of the purchase price. So what do you think? Try to work the '09 deal or just focus on getting a better deal on a '10? Assume this would happen before the current incentives expire. Thanks. |

Replying to: 4343 (Jul 02, 2009 5:33 pm) I have an offer on the table for a 09 4wd Touring (RES, NAV, Running Boards) 32K OTD 35,100. Its a Demo with 6,800 miles. I'm starting to lean towards a new 10 4wd EX-L w/ RES, Running Boards and after market bluetooth Best quote for this has been 35,200 OTD 38,350 I haven't worked the 2010 Ex-L price down yet, however, so I think this is still a bit high. I am leaning towards the 2010 car for the simple fact that the trade-in value in 4-5 years will be higher. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? |

Replying to: 4343 (Jul 02, 2009 5:33 pm) I started out wanting an 09 2WD EX-L. I started getting quotes and pretty soon had some offers and constant communications with dealers. I was specific on color combination so it was a pretty hard match. As it went on, I started thinking well, what if I compromise on it and maybe pay extra for 4WD EX-L or maybe 4WD EX-L with RES, etc etc. After a few days I thought about it hard and I came to the decision that I do not want to spend the extra on 4WD or RES just to get the color or the 09s I want. If I can't get what I wanted, I say to myself, I am not willing to pay more for something that I don't need for a specific year model. I rather not buy. Plus it sure makes it confusing for myself without the dealers help. Hahaha... Compare apples to apples. Your situation may be different. Best 09 2WD EX-L was $29,000.00 + doc fee + TTL but not the color I wanted. Best 10 2WD EX-L $30,000.00 + doc fee + TTL If I waited it out, I may have been able to get the 09s at $28,000.00. However, with what I can compare with the 2010, even at $28,000.00 (if I get it) for the 09s is only a $2k difference. I went with the 2010. I feel that the 09s and 10s price difference have to be larger to make it worth getting the 09s. Hope it helps.
