#13264 of 13721 Re: New Incentives [imzeppy] by franklw Jul 08, 2009 (8:37 am)
Replying to: imzeppy (Jul 07, 2009 8:12 pm) I went in to buy 2009 Pilot EX-L at a dealer in Los Angeles on July 4. The manager told me that he could not match a lower price due to "special dealer incentive" expires on June 30. He showed me his book that has an extra $1000 for the Pilot along with $1500 cash bach and dealer hold back. This is my math 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L MSRP $342**.00; invoice $31500-$1500 cash back=30000-dealer hold back (3%?)=$29000 (+/-); $29000-$1000=$28000??. Couple of dealers offered me 28,0**.00 for 2009 EX-L before June30. They did not have color I want. I called those two dealer after June30, one sold out 2009 and the other one increased their price by $500. This is purely my guess.

Replying to: franklw (Jul 08, 2009 8:37 am) Gotcha, so the $1500 stayed, but the $1000 extra is gone right now. The most probable situation.   I guess I'm going to jump on my offer at $29,719.00 with destination today.

Replying to: cszulc (Jul 08, 2009 8:47 am) $29.7K is OK for 2009 EX-L but I would bargain a little $300-500 off that; unless they are the only one that has the color that you want. $300-500 is not much for what you spend but to me, it's enough for a few oil change and 30K service. I don't need a new car right away so I am holding out for 2010. I notice that 2009 and 2010 prices are closing the gap (based on some of the prices reported in this forum). I guess as soon as Honda offers incentives for 2010, you probably won't see much of the diffrence in price. No body knows when Honda will release new incentives for 2010, hopefully soon with this economy.

Replying to: teoteebob (Jul 06, 2009 1:25 pm) I have a ton of experience with this! We spoke with dealers all over nc, and some in VA and SC. The ones we negotiated with were based on availability of the one we wanted. Overall impressions: Autopark, Flow, and Hendrick/Charlotte were very good to negotiate with. We bought ours from Bryan and did not have a great experience there. Crown Southpoint was OK but they never had a touring, which is what we wanted. Ask if you have any more questions!

#13269 of 13721 2010 FWD Touring with Nav and RES - Chicago by acadia2009 Jul 08, 2009 (12:30 pm)
Sorry, meant to get this out earlier... After carefully considering the 2009 models (EXL w/ RES and Touring with Nav and RES) and weighing several factors, I bought a 2010 FWD Touring with Nav and RES in Chicago. Unlike my experience with my Acadia search, the Internet sales teams at Chicago-area Honda dealerships were really easy to work with and willing to deal. I ended up buying the first 2010 model and paid $36,200 + TTL. I have to say I was initially scared off 2010's by the prognosticators on this forum, who thought cost would come in near MSRP, but that wasn't the case. My wife and I love this car. It has everything. Replies to this message: jodiep (Jul 13, 2009 10:52 am) honda2009 (Jul 13, 2009 11:01 am)
#13270 of 13721 2010 4WD Touring w/RES by honda2009 Jul 08, 2009 (12:38 pm)
Quoted $37,851 for 2010 4WD with RES Touring model. We were told that because they had the only 4WD model in the area, they would not go below invoice +700. Having a tough time negotiating this down, but because we are in the south, 4WD is under-stocked. No one else within 50 miles has this car. May be able to get him to 37,500, but not much more without incentives kicking in. Was thinking of adding running boards as we have small kids--quoted $718 installed, which is lower than a few dealers we checked with. Any thoughts on the car price or on the necessity of the running boards?   Price $37,851 incl dest. plus Doc fee $591 (all area dealers throw out this number) then plus 7% sales tax puts the OTD just under 41k.

Replying to: honda2009 (Jul 08, 2009 12:38 pm) At this point I think you are pretty much at their mercy on the price given limited 4WD availability in your area. They must be pretty confident they can sell it to someone else without giving much up. I'm looking at a 2009 4WD Tour w/ RES in my area and they flat out said they won't dealer trade or give more than invoice less the $1500 dealer cash because they know they have one of the only ones remaining here (and it's been on the lot since December last year!). Might be worth checking outside the 50 mile range to see if you can get one for invoice and save $700. 200 miles doesn't seem too out of the way to save that kind of money.   As far as running boards go, I'd say save the $718 for now and see how you do without them. If you determine you need them later, add them - no hurry to have it done right now. They look cool, but I don't know how functional they really are, even with little kids. I have a 4Runner and a 3 and 5 year old and most of the time we just pick them up and put them in the car. You might be able to find an aftermarket version you can have installed cheaper later on.   Unless there is something else included, a doc fee of $519 seems crazy! One dealer I talked to said they have a flat $99 doc fee, no other advertising adders, etc. I can't imagine paying $519 for a doc fee - they must have some kind of advertising fee included. Is that some kind of state regulated number, seems odd all the dealers throw out the same number - illegal collusion??

Replying to: soxsuck (Jul 08, 2009 5:33 am) Pauly Honda in Libertville. It's 4wd, which I didn't mention in my initial post.

Replying to: cszulc (Jul 08, 2009 8:47 am) So cszulc, you were able to beat your previous offer of $30,499 on a 09 EXL 4WD w/o RES by $800??? Just curious how you were able to do that? I can't get the same below $30.5K in so. cal. Maybe it's a regional thing?   Also, does anyone know what the new incentives, if any, are?   Thanks for the help.
