#13236 of 13775 How about this deal on a 2010 model? by rayzam Jul 04, 2009 (11:17 am)
Hi again guys, My search for an 09 EX-L (2WD with RES) is still underway, but today I received a call from one of my dealers saying that they ran out of 09 models and they can give me a 2010 EX-L (2WD with RES) for $31K (destination included) plus tax and fees. I usually keep my cars for long-term, so the newer model year doesn't matter for me that much, but this prices is just a few hundred more than the best confirmed quotes I got on 09 models. Opinions?   Thanks! Replies to this message: franklw (Jul 04, 2009 11:04 pm) rayzam (Jul 09, 2009 4:16 pm) franklw (Jul 10, 2009 8:18 am)

Replying to: carsalesman2 (Jul 04, 2009 10:49 am) Well, no, we didn't have a deposit down, but we had been calling all day to get a finance quote, and kept getting "they'll call you back", even to speak with our salesman. We were also calling to give them the deposit, as well as see what they would give us for an APR, which is what really sucks--no one would take nor return our call. What else could we have done except drive down to the showroom, which wasn't possible as we were both at work. It just sucks, and it really soured our views about buying something from this dealer. At the end of the day, due to our relationship with the dealer didn't he at least owe us (a) the courtesy of a quick return phone call (b) the courtesy of a heads up that someone else was interested? We had indicated we wanted the car, and were taking the steps to get the car. Without their help what else could we have done?   And I am not sure how much the dealer's personal car costs them to keep. (What is the deal there--since it isn't registered and is off the floor, is is really technically on their floor plan?) Maybe someone can explain the whole demo model phenomenon and the true cost behind that?

Replying to: honda2009 (Jul 04, 2009 11:22 am) I understand you're frustrated and angry but they are in the process of making money so they could have been delaying returning your call because they were 'working' the other buyer. The other buyer obviously was willing to pay a higher price or else they would have ditched him/her and responded to you. Like I said if they made their money. When a dealer can make more money somewhere else, they will.   Just cool down and take a breather because it is very easy to now latch on to something you may not like or even paid a higher price on. Take it easy. If it's gone it's gone. Reevaluate what model you wanted when you started your search and follow up on the negotiation until you reach your price. If not, like I said, be prepared to walk away.   On the financing thing, I always make sure to secure the best financing interest rate before I go in. Then if the dealers will beat it, I will take theirs, if not, I just sign for the car and use my own financing. When you are ready to buy and is sitting at the table, and they can beat your financing to make some money, you bet they will so always get something in your hand.   Good luck on your search.

Replying to: nuzy (Jul 04, 2009 8:03 am) I have noticed the supply for 2009 Pilot is disappearing very quickly in So. Cal. It seems that the price for 2010 Pilot is moving closer to 2009. I had one dealer offered me invoice for 2010 EX-L without negotiation. I also got two emails that offered me $30,559 and $31,468 (MRSP $34,555.00). Post 13224 got 2010 EX-L for 30100 in Atlanta and post 13236 had an offer of 2010 EX-L (2WD with RES) for $31K (this price is insane for 2010 without any known factory incentive at this time). I am in the market for Pilot EX-L and I could not find the color I wanted so I have decided to wait few months for 2010, hopefully we will see some incentive soon for 2010.

Replying to: rayzam (Jul 04, 2009 11:17 am) That's a great price for 2010. May I ask what dealer is it? Please let us know how it went if you purchased you Pillot there. Thanks Replies to this message: rayzam (Jul 09, 2009 4:16 pm) franklw (Jul 10, 2009 8:18 am)

Replying to: carb (Jul 03, 2009 5:01 pm) Where in ATL did you get this? I'm shopping around now - looking for 4wd Ex-L w/ RES, Running Boards and Aftermarket Bluetooth.   Best quote so far I've received was 35,200 +TTL (not even close to what I want to pay -- this is the amt. I want to pay for OTD)   I think I need to wait for some incentives to kick in. Replies to this message: carb (Jul 05, 2009 2:19 pm) bigdadi118 (Jul 05, 2009 10:56 pm) aln1 (Jul 06, 2009 5:16 am)
