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.

Depends on the area. 99% of dealers in this area NEVER do anything more in person than open their Galves.
 
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.

I went to Carmax also. The Honda dealer here in Roseville matched the Carmax value and matched the offer for the new Pilot that I had from Stockton Honda, which was well below everyone's initial offer. Send an email to Stockton Honda's internet department, since they are not that far away from you. The trade-in price was lower than what I could have sold the vehicle to a private party but since I knew it was ready to blow a headgasket, I didn't want to get a knock on my door soon after the sale. Hang in there and keep asking around for prices.

Pilot EX-L 2WD by saz_1

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.

Honda 2007 price increase and incentives? by davescharf

I've been obtaining quotes in the Twin Cities area and many of them are similar to what I've read on the past few pages when you include the destination charge (MSRP on a EX-L w/Nav is actually $36040 if you add that). With destination charges my quotes have been right at or just about $32k which is significantly lower than Edmund's TMV.
 
All of my quotes are good until the end of December and one of the dealers suggested the Pilot would have a price increase on Jan 1st. I was wondering if anyone knew about that or if there was news about the size of the increase, etc.
 
I was also wondering more generally if there's anytime early in 2007 when Honda would be offer incentives on the Pilot. Given that it's a popular car I wasn't sure if that was the case, but do they generally offer incentives early in 2007 to start moving the new cars?

The problem is that a dealer cannot give you a "set" amount for a trade without ever looking at it. that is not fair of you to ask a dealer to do that. Would you give a "set" price if you were buying a used car form someone without ever seeing their car????
 
I doubt you would. Anyway the best you can ask for is a range of prices they will give you. But you must be honest with them about the condition of your car. If you show up and your car is not exactly what you said it is there will be issues.
 
good luck to you,.
 
and no there are no incentives on the 07 Pilots

Out of curiousity did you tell the dealer your trade was about to blow a headgasket?

Thanks. I intend to be forthcoming w/ info by taking detailed digital photos and documenting condition of vehicle and providing info via e-mail. To your point, not fair to expect a blind estimate however I do think it's fair to ask given the level of detail I intend to provide.
 
Also when is next round of Honda financing (purchase, not lease) due to be released?

I did not present "my opinions" regarding the status of any component of the vehicle. They performed a complete and thorough inspection (test drive, checked all accessories, etc) and provided me their evaluation along with their offer.
 
I would not expect any dealer to stand by any offer prior to them physically inspecting the car. Would you buy a used car without inspecting it first?

For everyone's edification, I am looking at a 2007 Pilot 4WD EX-L for $29700, naturally before TT&L.
 
Any thoughts? Will be closing the deal soon.
