#13270 of 13793 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: 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.

#13274 of 13793 Re: Honda Pilot Dealers in North Carolina [erikanc] by teoteebob Jul 09, 2009 (6:05 am)
Replying to: erikanc (Jul 08, 2009 12:21 pm) I have talked by phone with Henrick/Charlotte and spent the afternoon at Crown Southport. They were very friendly and helpful but did not have the car that I wanted on their lot. I am looking for a 2010 EX-L 2 wheel drive in the Dark Cherry Pearl with beige interior. That had one with the black interior which, of course, they tried to get me interested in. They found the car that I wanted at another dealer but wanted around $500 added to the price that they said would be their cost of the dealer trade. So I will try to find a dealer that has my preferred car on their lot.   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 Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Jul 09, 2009 6:51 am) teoteebob (Jul 09, 2009 11:55 am) cndnbkn (Jul 09, 2009 1:42 pm) teoteebob (Jul 11, 2009 11:37 am) bigdadi118 (Jul 11, 2009 12:13 pm) cndnbkn (Jul 13, 2009 9:55 am) erikanc (Jul 10, 2009 6:01 pm)
#13275 of 13793 incentives gone? by metalprof Jul 09, 2009 (6:05 am)
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. Replies to this message: dbt (Jul 09, 2009 6:25 am)

Replying to: metalprof (Jul 09, 2009 6:05 am) Last incentive program ended last night. Dealers will get the info on the new incentive program today. Just be patient.

#13278 of 13793 2009 Pilot in Minneapolis/St. Paul by munk Jul 09, 2009 (7:17 am)
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?

Replying to: munk (Jul 09, 2009 7:17 am) $32,295 is very high for what I have seen around here. Of course prices depend on region and local competition. While I was waiting for my 2005 Pilot to have minor service at the dealer in So. Cal yesterday, I spoke to a salesman in the internet department regarding 2009 Pilot EX-L RES. The invoice he showed me was a bit less than 33K (depend on destination charges since Honda recently increases dest. charge from $670 to $710 for our region. This is his math 33K (invoice)- $1500 rebate=31.5K- $700 2% hold back)=$30.8K, he said manager has to approve if the dealer will give you all of their hold back. He said he's seen deal where dealer gave an extra $300-500 on top of hold back on a good day....(aka the end of the month?). I haven't verify % of dealer hold back, I thought it's 3%?? anyone here knows? Any way, I don't suggest that you have to get the Your EX-L RES under 30K like I have seen but all I am saying is you can do much better than that especially if you are willing to travel outside of your region. Good luck.
