Replying to: erikanc (Aug 14, 2009 12:31 pm) Because it's a year newer...less depreciation when we drove off the lot than an '09 would have been. |

Replying to: yeayea1 (Aug 17, 2009 4:39 pm) Is the C4C credit apply b4 tax+fees or after? As I always operate under the assumption that the C4C credit goes towards the purchase price... not after taxes and fee (or the final purchase price)....

Any one bought or got a quote on 09 Pilot 4WD with RES in Chicagoland area recently. All the ones I got are around 33600 - 33800 before TTL. Please let me know if anyone got better quotes. Any help is appreciated. |

Replying to: robodiaz (Aug 14, 2009 1:47 pm) had the car, you'd be potentially very disappointed at your answer. Always post BEFORE buying. That vehicle lists for: 40245 plus 710 destination invoice is 36442 plus 710 destination So, total invoice is 37152.00 That is a FAR CRY FROM THE 38800 you were quoted. You should be able to buy that car all day long all over for 37600-38000 This would give a dealer 500-800 profit plus his holdback which is 2-3 percent of list, or in this case another 800 to 1000 dollars. As to the warranty, I've been in a Honda finance dept and I can tell you that their dealer cost on a 6 year/100k warranty with zero deductible is less than 700.00. If you paid 2100.00 for a warranty, then you effectively allowed them to make more on the warranty than they typically do on a car....... my advice to you would be to use your factory warranty of 3/36bumper to bumper and 5 year/60k mi powertrain and then decide whether to buy extended coverage. The dealer's assertion that you CAN ONLY BUY IT NOW......is absolute hogwash.....they are lying plain and simple.....don't believe me? Call one and tell them you have a Honda with 35K miles and you want to extend the coverage. They'll roll out the welcome mat for you...... As to your APR being lowered .25%? That doesn't come close to making up for the 1400.00 profit they made on a typical warranty...... I hope you know there are sources offering 3.99 for 60 months and my credit union is currently offering 4.75% for up to 78 months! I was looking hard at a Honda Pilot touring. I ended up buying a base Acura MDX with a longer warranty, more luxury and full time all wheel drive for 37215.00. They have a 2K dealer incentive right now. Sure, I've got to add the DVD and it doesn't have NAV, but even with NAV and all the other stuff that goes with the technology package, you could likely get one around 40K and add an Alpine DVD player for 500.00 That brings me to the next thing folks: Any time you buy a vehicle with the DVD slot in the dash, that DVD drive is covered by the BASIC warranty of the vehicle for adjustments, which is 12 months or 12,000 miles. Why? It's an internal moving part subject to dust, and failure may not be from manufacturing defect.......think of it as a set of brake pads, they're not covered either...... SO: that drive will run you 2500.00 typically if it breaks. Save your $$ Buy a really good aftermarket DVD unit all integrated for 500.00 and when it breaks, rip it out, buy another one and throw it away. Marrying a DVD player to a car that's subjected to heat every day is not a smart move......
