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.

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) 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: erikanc (Jul 08, 2009 12:21 pm) Also, they were quite a bit more expensive out the door than some of the prices that I am seeing in some of the buying experience/pricing forums. My question to you is, after getting prices from the different dealers, did any of them follow up with you offering better pricing? If so, which dealer? Also, you mention Autopark and Flow. Where are those dealers located? Where is the Bryan dealer and what was the negative experience that you had with them? Would you recommend against dealing with them? Thanks for any help that you can give me. I don't like shopping for new cars! TeoteeBob Durham, NC |

So I got a message this morning from my local dealer saying that Honda had pulled all of the incentives on the Pilot. Anyone else hear the same thing? I'm still looking to buy a Black 2wd Pilot EXL w/o RES here in Kentucky, but there isn't one available for hundreds of miles around me.

Before the incentive disappeared today, I was quoted $32,295 for a 2009 EX-L RES from several local dealers here in MSP. I think I can do better. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm also looking at one in particular that's been a demo (it's got about 300 miles on it) and I'd like to think I can get it for $31,000 (w/out TTL). Thoughts?
