Replying to: twins7 (May 03, 2004 9:40 am) Twins7...thanks for the reply. Been a minivan family for the past 10 years ('94 Nissan Quest), and looking forward to upgrading to car based SUV. However, still expect to tote the friends of our kids, so thinking the third row seating would be nice. Hard to fathom paying MSRP for vehicle, and if area dealerships standing firm, will likely focus on new Pathfinder. Typically Nissan has no problem building inventory.

I recently test drove a pilot and casually talked price at Brookdale Honda in northwest suburbs. Salesman mentioned they were offering about $1000 off msrp. I haven't yet gotten down to serious negotiating as we don't want to purchase until mid summer. He seemed to indicate they had a few vehicles in stock and are more likely to negotiate on those.

RES = Rear Entertainment System. I'm also looking to buy a Pilot with Navigation. Could you share your buying experience and where you purchased it.

I emailed every Honda Dealer within 50 miles plus a couple in Ohio (excluding my local dealer). A total of 16 requests. Here is what I asked for:   "I am looking for a Sage Brush Pearl Pilot EX-L RES with one DIO, rear splash guards. I am ready to purchase as soon one is available. Please email me with your best price both before and after TT&L. Thank you for your time." Name Address Phone Number Fax Number   I got 2 phone calls and 6 Emails. I took my best price and Emailed the highest price asking them to beat it. I did this for a couple of days until I though I was near the bottom.   My initial Emails were sent out Tuesday nite and by Saturday morning I put a deposit down on a Pilot.   I also called the local salesman I took the test drive with and said "I did the internet thing and the best price I got was $30,100 I would be happy to buy from you if you can match it". He put me on hold to talk to his sales manager. Came back and said that is a great deal and I can't come close to beating it.   I live between Harrisburgh and Philly. Prices went up the closer the dealership was to Philly and prices went down as I went west.   Faulkner also offered free delivery. But its only 50 miles away. And I didn't want anybody driving my Pilot. So I picked it up with only 3 miles on it.

Replying to: twins7 (May 03, 2004 9:40 am) It's easy to get a better deal. I live in the western burbs of Chicago. Just call the dealerships and ask for the fleet mgr. I started with the Sam's no haggle price of inv + $1000 and worked down from there. One dealer against another.   I think the trick is keeping control of the negotiation. Always make them come back to you with a better offer as long as you can. Once they are in the ballpark, throw them a bone.   I did this yesterday and within 1/2 hour had them at invoice +750 +protection pkg at $249. With a little more work I should be able to get the protection pkg thrown in. All of this was on the phone.   My only hesitation on the Pilot is the lack of the side curtain airbags, no moonroof and you can't get the RES and Navi both.
#2264 of 13818 Pruitts the place !!!! by newbuy2 May 10, 2004 (12:30 pm)
OK, heres the deal. Ordered the Pilot from Pruitt online, 400 over invoice, live in CT, never done this before. Delivery was scheduled for mid May, got it last week. I cant say enough about these guys ! The internet manager ( not appropriate to give names on the internet ) was just incredible. Talked me through the whole process, paying tax in my home state, 30 day temp reg etc etc. Car was delivered in a covered trailer ($750 fee) with 3 miles on the clock - PERFECT !!!! Highly recommend their pre and post sale service !
