I used this forum extensively for my research for the Honda Pilot so I thought I would contribute. Just bought a Honda Pilot 2006 4WD EX-L from Ohare Honda for 26390 including destination. The dealership is located in Des Plaines, IL north of Chicago. This was a painless transaction since we did most of the negotiation through email and phone. My wife wanted the Amazon Green (very few left) and they were able to find it. The salesman (I know we can't mention names but not sure about initials so I'll go ahead mention it - A.B) I dealt with was very energetic and thorough. He even let my kids play on his and another salesman's computer while we were waiting for the finance guy. Overall, it was an excellent experience. Good Luck |

Their accessory prices are significantly lower than other dealers in DFW. A lot of the accessories are cheaper installed by them than they would be for the parts alone, on the internet.

Hi Ralph, First of all, you should know that a 2006 Pilot EXL-Navi are becoming hard to find, especially if you want your choice of colors. I wanted the Sage Brush Pearl and Hunting Honda was able to work out a swap with Garden State Honda to get it for me. Here is the breakdown on my deal. 29,517.00 Selling Price of Car w/destination 10,500.00 Trade-in credit for my 2001 Pathfinder (Right on with Galves-the auto industry wholesale guide) 1,640.21 Sales Tax 12.50 Tire Management Fee 10.00 State Inspection 45.00 for Registration Processing 60.00 for Plates Transfer 20,784.71 Total out the door The car is suppose to be here tomorrow, and i have not decided if I will be adding any accessories. I am thinking about adding the running boards, cargo cover, rear mud guards, and the auto day/night mirror. If you have a trade-in, when they give you an amount ask them to see what the Galves wholesale guide estimates the value of your trade. The trade in values on Edmunds and KBB tend to be on the high side. Try Galves.com as a resource. I hope I have been able to assist you. Scott |

My wife and I just purchased a Black 2006 2WD Pilot EX-L (no NAV or RES)from Reliance Honda in Lake Jackson, Texas. The final price was $25,800 with no destination charges or any other charges. Financing is at 2.9% APR for 36 months.  I did everything on line, the process was very painless. I actually would look forward to buying a car again if I could have the same experience. The internet sales manager was great, and she really made it easy to buy the car. There was absolutely no pressure at all. Reliance was able to beat every other offer I received by over $1000. Most other Houston area dealers were in the $27K range, and some dealers were even unwilling to go below $30K (Sand Dollar Honda). When I told the other dealerships about the offer that Reliance had made, the standard response I got from them was that Reliance was doing a bait and switch, and would not be able to get me the car. Despite what they said, Reliance delivered on their promises, and everything was exactly as we wanted. I have been watching this board for a couple of months, and I have learned allot. I doubt I would have gotten the price I got without all the information everyone has shared. Thanks for all of your help!

Replying to: momto3 (Aug 23, 2006 7:36 pm) Great dealership, wonderful to work with. Price $29,295 included destination. From the research I did here I thought I could have done a little better on the price (by maybe $400 or $500) BUT Curry had the color I wanted and honestly I was getting really tired of dealing with the dealerships. I had done the mass-email route and found that many dealerships, no matter how many times you e-mailed them your criteria, would constantly respond with "call us, come in and see us". Curry Honda and Greenwich Honda were the only ones that responded to me directly with prices and negotiated with me via e-mail and phone. Greenwich Honda quoted me a price of $29,695 and I had countered at $28,900 (cause I knew my prices from doing my research here). Greenwich wouldn't budge one penny and I told them I wasn't a tire kicker I was ready to buy that day. Still they wouldn't budge. I guess I could have reached out to some of the other dealerships in my area to find out exactly what they could do for me price wise, but like I said I was getting very tired of the dealer run around. Good luck with your new Pilot, everyone whe sees my car and rides in it absolutely loves it! |

Replying to: gaissa (Aug 18, 2005 9:31 am) I am just starting to look at the EXL AWD (no nav or ent) in the Denver area, have you gotten any feedback or prices from dealers. Any dealers you would stay away from or talk to? Thx, |

I went the route of emailing dealers throughout Southern California. By the end of the day, the best deal I could get was actually an hour away from my house: 2006 Honda EX-L 4WD with Navi, silver ext / gray int --Price: $28,258 --includes destination, splash guards, wheel locks and the protection package Most of the dealers I contacted couldn't go this low and offered mid $29K. Only two offered at the $28,258...the added pieces sealed the deal. Like other people's experiences, dealers that couldn't meet the price were quick to jump on the skepticism bandwagon: 1. Does it really include this, this and this? 2. Are you sure they have the car? 3. I may be more expensive, but I'll take care of you One dealer even went so far as to say that the extra $40/month ($2K total) wasn't a big deal. One, $2K to avoid driving an extra hour is not a good selling point. Two, they had no idea if I planned to finance, pay cash, etc., but had the $40 already figured out??? I'll update with the dealer and experience after we pick it up. John
