#15028 of 15455 Best Price For Honda Pilot Touring by ryounglaw

Dec 25, 2011 (6:27 pm)

This site allowed me to negotiate the best deal ever on my last car. I was able to get a LR2 for $13K below invoice. Now that was December 28th 2008 and the best time and year to buy a car in my book. (cheaper than a Ford Escape Limited)
 
This year, with our first child, the LR2 is way to small and I am ready for a more family car. Hence the Pilot. What is the best price anyone has been able to negotiate for a Touring. I have seen prices ranging from $38K to $36K. Has anyone made it to $35K or is that totally unrealistic? Any help is appreciated !! Merry Christmas

ingman21,
 
This is a Touring 4wd which included the RES and Navi. The Touring have other optional features that the EX-L does not have.

#15032 of 15455 Pilot Purchasing; Help Needed by astom22

Dec 27, 2011 (10:41 am)

I live north of Dallas and I'm looking for a dealer that won't bait and switch on a Pilot Touring. I have gone in twice with offers from the internet salesman, but both times I have been met with typical car dealer BS and frustration.
 
Yesterday the price quoted of $35,580 swelled to an out the door price of $43,820 with all the crazy stuff they try to tack on. Hydrogen in the tires for $275, trying to double charge the $810 destination fee, second row seat cover for $750 ($264 on Honda.com), $375 for two tinted windows, and list went on.
 
Needless to say, I left a little angry.
 
Today I went to another dealer, again with a nice online quote. They wouldn't even give me a price, but said they could beat the deal of the place I went yesterday. I'm clearing some money to pay cash and since I couldn't sign a deal today, they wouldn't even give me a price.
 
Now that I have vented my frustration, I guess I should get to my questions:
 
1. Anyone have a dealer they really like in the DFW area?
2. What is a good out the door price on a Honda Pilot Touring? I'm aiming for 38K out the door, is that unrealistic?
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

astom22,
 
You might look back at some of my previous posts concerning my purchasing experience in DFW.
 
We have purchased two Hondas in the past several years... a Civic and a Pilot. Both times, Rusty Wallis Honda was extremely competitive and/or the cheapest. We actually purchased our Civic from them, even though it's quite a distance for us. On the Pilot, we found a dealership closer (Huggins) that would price match. Bottom line: You might give Rusty Wallis a try, if you haven't already.
 
Just curious... Was it David McDavid Frisco that refused to give you a price? They were the only Honda dealership in the DFW metroplex that would not give me an email quote when I was shopping.
 
To avoid surprises when you get to the dealership, try to get very specific quotes in advance. When I shop, I ask for the vehicle price, the price for dealer add-ons (the "Protection Package") and what's included, the OTD price, etc. They make it very difficult to compare apples to apples; but if you persist, you can usually get the necessary info to make accurate comparisons.
 
One final note: When we purchased our Pilot last spring, Huggins had the lowest (by far, if I remember correctly) "Protection Package" pricing, and they were the most upfront about the cost of add-ons. I have no idea if that's still the case...

Are you a member of sams club, costco or bj's? they have an auto buying program that comes with your membership -- they will find a dealer near you and give you a no haggle price -- some dealers have different offers but I was able to save 3,000 dollars.
