Purchased AWD EX-L with RES by dbros

Thanks everybody for all the information that you provide on this website!! It really helped me out get mine at long last with the best deal I can get!!
 
I purchased mine at Conicelli Honda at Conshohocken, P.A. for 28,030.00 including mud guards, cargo net, destination and dealers fee if theres one!?! . To make the long story short I'm from Florida and I sent e-mails to everybody from FL, TX, GA, NJ, and etc. and I received tons of calls and man it was STRESSFUL!!! . and there's only two internet managers that I like being straight forward and honest, one is Reliance Honda at Lake Jackson, TX but they don't have the color I like and Conicelli Honda at P.A. They were excellent individuals the one from conicelli is a lady (african-american decent) and boy she treated me well no hidden charges at all and I really recommend her!! OTD was 28,100 the $70 was for Temporary tag, Tire something and documentation fee. I don't have to pay TTL because I'm Out of State customer and I told them that I'll do it myself. The only problem that I had was to travel 1,193.5 miles after that but I enjoyed the travel because I was able to visit relatives up north and the savings that I got for doing it. It's really worth it!!!

Best or Better? by dladyb

I am in the process of purchasing a 2006 Honda Pilot EXL 2WD. Sent out new request today. Best offer so far is an internet price of $25,995.00. I am in Georgia so with doc fee, TTL we are talking about a drive out of around $28,100.00. Another dealership which is an hour and 45 mnutes away is wanting to better the offer. Understanding that oil changes and free car washes wont amount to nothing due to the distance. What would be a reasonable counter considering the drive?
 
Anxiously awaiting,
Dara in Conyers Georgia

You didn't provide the amount the other dealer is going to offer you, I'm assuming that they just told you when you go there they are going to tell you how better is they're offer, right?! I won't walk into that kind of trap... Call the other dealer tell them how much are they going offer you because you don't want to go that far for nothing and ask them to send you the amount in your e-mail, find out what are the hidden charges like destination fee, dealer's fee, documentation fee because it varies from dealer to dealer you will be amazed by how much the difference is! If they are sending you e-mails check the fine prints at the bottom they might be hiding something.
 
If they give a good price give your local dealer a call or a visit if you know the salesman and tell them of how much is your quote and let them beat it or meet the price.
 
There are some people over here trying to refer Gwinnett Place Honda at Duluth, G.A. I did try to do business with them but beware of there hidden charges usually if they e-mail you will find fine prints at the bottom!!

Thanks
 
After reading your response I sent another E-mail and asked for an itemized drive out price quote if they could better the one from Conyers. I asked if they could meet the Conyers price and throw in a moon roof visor and 9 inch DVD player. I did indicate that I would not come in until I had an itemized quote.

Dealer Monetary "tip" by keithrl

Thanks very much for the insights you and others here have provided in my getting my Pilot EXL for a very good price this past weekend.
 
Earlier I mentioned I did sort of break a deal with an out of town dealer. It was legal, as the deposit was 100% refundable. I wanted to maybe give the salesman at the out of town dealership some sort of monetary compensation as he worked hard for me, yet didnt get the sale.
 
Would this be appropriate, and if so, what would be an appropriate amount?
 
Thanks again to all

Did alot of homework and purchased James Bragg book. I basically I an idea of which dealers was going to be the ones with lowest prices .Open Road price was 26,131 on the net and 26,431 using the fax attack method.Once that I saw Open Road Internet site with a bunch disclaimers . I knew it was going to hell at the dealership .Open Road seems liek one the upsellers get in the dealership and all hell breaks lose . I also didn't like dest charge and fees they wanted to add on which would have brought the up in price 298 plus 550 for dest. It's the last week of the month the dest is his problem now . Dealing with Staten Island Honda seems to be easy SO Far. On Thrusday I just have to take The Boss Lady to sign a couple of papers . I just hoping the Finance guy doesn't try to get a couple of points of the end .

No problem carlover10..
I just got off the phone with US customs at Pembina ND. The agent I talked to said if it's a new car, they don't require the 72 hour notice, just the MSO when you come to the crossing with the vehicle to be exported. That was the first I've ever heard of that. Maybe only Pembina ND? I re-confirmed what i was planning on doing and he said the 72 hour notice only applies to used vehicles. I was sure to get his name. My wife is going to call the border crossing later today to confirm what I heard...

You are right about $298 doc fee as high, but most of the dealers (if not all) will have SOME sort of Doc fee, and destination charge is as inevitable as taxes. I don't think ANY dealer, anywhere is going to waive or reduce the destination charge (they may quote you a price INCLUDING the charge, but it will be there).
 
TAD, please correct me if I am wrong.
 
And reading thru the forum, I haven't come across anyone who said they actually went to Open Road and had a bad experience. I am not saying that you should go to them, but just pointing out the fact.
