We purchased an EX-L 2 weeks ago from Buerkle Honda in St. Paul for $500 over invoice ($28,760). Not the greatest deal ever, but I am satisfied considering how the Pilot market has been in the Twin Cities. I would like to thank everyone who suggested getting a price quote from Carr's in Chicago. It was helpful to have that during the process. When I mentioned the quote at invoice to the dealers here, all but one dealer basically said good luck. Buerkle Honda said that they would be competitive on price and they were close enough to keep me from going to Chicago. The salesman at Buerkle was easy to work with and made it a pleasant buying experience. The best part for me was that all of the negotiating took place over the internet and the price was agreed to before we came to the dealer. Negotiating over the internet made me feel as if I was in control throughout the process. I am never going back to the 'old' way of buying vehicles. |

Yesterday, I bought new Pilot Ex-L Navi from Mike Pruitt Honda in Ohio at invoice price . After having some bad experience with couple of local dealers in Northern VA, came in to Edmunds' Buying exp. board, learn a new way of buying a vehicle and it was such a pleasant experience. It took me couple of e-mails, couple of phone conversations, $146 for two air tickets from Dulles, VA to Cleveland, OH (for me and my wife), and one day off at work. This is more detailed "one day off"- 2 hours for flight, 1 1/2 hours at dealer for paper work and demonstration (no waiting, no pushing, no back and forth to manager or his boss, no playing game.....), 3 hours at Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, PA (wanted to visit Inventors Museum in OH, but they close on Mondays) and 5 1/2 total driving hours to way back home. It was just like one day vacation trip with my wife. Also, I found that they deliver it to Virginia for $375. Thanks for all members who educate me in this board.

| I got a quote from a dealer for an EX with leather only for $28,900 + TTL. Is this a good price for the Houston area? | |

I am about to purchase 04 EX-L (not decided on navi or not yet). Has anyone purchased in Atlanta recently or surrounding suburbs? Carsdirect.com has the ex-l at invoice now in my zip code, so I'm wondering if any dealers would be willing to go even a little lower? Any recommendations for a particular dealer? I'm closest to Curry and Ed Voyles, but would be more than happy to travel elsewhere to get the best deal and experience. Thanks. |

i recently took delivery of an ex from honda of nanuet. i paid 500 over invoice with less than 100 worth of dealer fees. i lost a lot of ability to negotiate because i was trading in an 03 odyssey with 40,000 kid car pool miles and the car wasnt in great shape (trade in allowance 17250). the big deal was the NY tax savings on 17250. since the dealer did not have the color they got the car from mt kisco honda. while waiting for the dealer to put the plates on my new pilot i looked at the tires on my ex and on the other pilots on his lot. i noticed that the lx's had non goodyear tires while the ex's , (plain leather, navi..) all had goodyear tires. when i asked the sales man why my ex didnt have goodyears. he told me that's the way they come. as this was not a good enough answer i called american honda on friday, and sure enough they searched my vin and my pilot ex left the factory with goodyears. they were going to investigate. i am not, at this point, pointing the blame on who switched my tires, but am wondering if any one else has had a similar problem? the window sticker only says the size of the tire not the brand. why?? my other car a jeep grand cherokee specifies the tire on the window sticker. does honda do this to allow their dealers to pull a switch? i look forward to your replies. jon |
