Replying to: jfritsch (Dec 08, 2006 5:17 am) What is recommend way for someone to negotiate remotely with a dealer if a trade-in is involved? so that you can "secure" a guaranteed minimum trade-in before driving the distance? The last thing I'd want to deal with is someone trying to haggle at last minute. How have others done this? |

Hello everyone, Been working the dealers in the Bay Area (Silicon Valley) very hard. Trying to get the best deal on a 07' Pilot 4wd EX-L w/NAV. Results so far: MSRP $35,445 ; Base Invoice $31,912 ; Sale Price $31,763 ; OTD $34,709. Can't get any dealers in my area to go lower than that. Any suggestions or feedback at this point would be MUCH APPRECIATED ! Does this sound like a reasonable price?

Replying to: beeknown (Dec 13, 2006 9:56 pm) That said, you may wind up paying $3000 (net) or so more than one of the more numerous ex-l or ex models. I have some friends with the $400 Best Buy Navi installed, so unless there is some big advantage..... Check out my message 3863 on the CRV-Forum and go from there for useful info on buying a car. Fax or email 30+ dealers (Navi with color pref may be rare) with your requirements toward the end of the month. Give your cell, the fact you are getting 20 bids, and will definitely buy before Dec 31. See where the bidding goes. Perhaps you will find 2 or 3 who really want to move a car. Since the Pilot and the Ridgeline wholesale about $10000 from list 1st year, I would want at least $5500 off, or I would really really want one. Honda never does the rebate gig, and what incentives there are are usually played close to the chest to give their dealers maximum flexibility. To clear out the 06's they were generally offering $6500-$7500 off MSRP to move them off the lots to just about anybody with credit or cash. (Check out July and August Discussions) The entire SUV segment was offering big discounts in 06 and the scenery hasn't changed much.

Replying to: miles267 (Dec 13, 2006 5:17 pm) I went to Carmax and got a quote that was good for 7 days and 300 miles (if memory serves). Most dealers will get close to the Carmax number, and if they won't, you know what you can get, so you just remove the trade from the deal. The only impact in most states is sales tax, but that only amounts to a few hundred dollars in most cases. Good luck with your purchase.

How can anyone expect a dealer to appraise a trade over the phone? A lot of dealers will tell you what you want to hear in order to get you to come in. Everyone has a different idea of what condition their trade is in. We really need to look at it, make phone calls ect.

Replying to: isellhondas (Dec 14, 2006 7:21 am) All I try to find out, if I'm driving a long distance to visit them, is if they are indeed using Galves (or, if not, what book are they using?). I can get that number myself, so as long as I know that's what we are working from, there's no problem making the drive. Having said that, however, I can understand the problem from the dealers perspective not wanting to give numbers on the phone for fear of that person who "forgets" to tell them it had a $20k accident 2 years ago and now they are making a big scene in the showroom because the number on the phone was entirely different. |

Bought a Pilot EX-L 2WD from Richards Honda in Baton Rouge. Final Price was 28,936. Internet Sales guy was David Hill, and he was straight forward and great to deal with. Actually got a better deal $28,800 from Team Honda dealing with Jeff Young, who was also a great guy to deal with, but Richards was giving $1,000 more for my trade. Both prices include everything except TTL. Hope this helps someone. |
