After I looked at your prices again, I think both are kinda high as well. 4343, see how low you can go on both, maybe the decision to make will be easier then.

2010 4WD Touring NAV w/ RES by jungle_cat

Hello all:
 
I bought a 2010 4WD Touring with NAV and RES for about 36900 plus tax in the Boston area. I went to a few dealers in the area and there were not a lot of Touring models in stock. A few dealers did not have them at all.
 
I think I could have done better but oh well.

I just put a new 2009 2WD Touring w/ RES on hold through Monday. The price I was quoted was $33,130. The only fees not included in this price are title and plates, which amount to approx. $300. Does this seem like a competitive price? Thanks!

I'd say you got a great deal.

Dealer Backstab? by honda2009

So I had a pretty sweet deal, similar to Nuzy's above, but actually for a few hundred less for a demo '09 touring. We were in the process of going through financing, and without warning or notice, after getting off the phone with financing they called back an hour later to say they sold the car. They had given us a few options that we were going over, and being that is happening at 5pm on 7/3, we felt that we'd have at least the night to think about it before calling on 7/4 to pull the trigger. I know this is not personal, but I am PISSED. I feel that at the very least we should have been given the first right of refusal or something. They took a completely laid back approach with us as we'd been going back and forth about this car for a few days, and never once mentioned someone else was close to a deal on the car, which would have made us go a bit faster.
 
Anyway, do you think it is fair for me to ask them to honor the OTD price of $35,1000 that we had "settled" on for the demo, instead now for a 2010 EXL w/RES and added bluetooth and running boards? Or should I just take my business to the 10 other Honda dealerships in the city in which I live? I am very upset with this dealership, and feel that they are going to have to give me something outstanding in terms of a deal to get my business (not that my business is anything special....)

Yes, it is a bad situation. Stay calm. One of two things. They obviously had someone that may have not negotiated much and was going to buy at a higher price than you. They are in the process of making money so they made their money. If not, they might be playing games in that, hoping you will settle for something else at a much higher price than you intend to spend since they might have felt that they have you hooked on the new car feel and smell.
 
Just hang on for a few days. No hurry. It is likely they will call you back and ask if you are still interested in a Honda Pilot. If you feel that the prices you want to offer is satisfactory to you and fair, go ahead and say, I'll buy X if you sell it for $Y. If they refuse, you have nothing to lose, just walk away and start looking elsewhere. Or better yet, take $Y then and ask someone else to beat it. Always be prepared to walk away.

I had a sort of similar situation, but I wasn't quite as far down the road as you. I was supposed to go in Friday at 12:30pm to check out a demo touring that I had been quoted at $35,500. I got a call at 11:30am telling me they had sold the car. I had told my wife the night before that I would buy if they could get to $32K or so on it. They guy told me it sold for less than $33K. While I was bummed, it's kind of a you snooze you lose type of deal. My fault for taking a laid back approach to getting in to see the vehicle. Again, not the same situation as you, but still kind of stunk. The internet sales guy was kind of bummed too as he didn't get credit for the sale, it was sold by one of the "normal" sales guys. The 2009 Pilots are going pretty quick around here. I don't think there will be many left soon. Sales guy told me lots of current large suv owners using cash for clunkers government money to buy - that's $4500 dollars I don't qualify for (but indirectly pay for with my tax dollars, which ticks me off even more, but that's a discussion that suppose belongs elsewhere ) In any case, I'd say give them one chance to gain your business with a super deal on your terms, otherwise go somewhere else.

A little more follow up on the experience. We went to a few dealers in the area and there are not a lot of Touring models available or even Pilots. A few of the dealers did not have any in stock. We finally found a dealer but they did not have the colors my wife wanted. They offered a manager's car with very low mileage but my wife wanted completely new. As we were walking out the door they said they will find one at invoice from another dealer.

The salesman I talked to yesterday said he was going to buy a 2010 for he and his wife in a few weeks, and he was buying it at invoice from the dealer he worked at, of course. He couldn't do any better than that, so that seems to line up with your experience as well. This early in the model year, getting one at invoice is probably not a bad deal.
