2007 EXL AWD no Nav or DVD by mofamwagon

Paid $29,900+TTL by leveraging my best offer of 29,696.13 from Honda of Downtown Seattle -- I'm in a remote location in Eastern Washington, 4 hours from Seattle, so the competition is not great. The only extras included were wheel locks and rear mud flaps.

2007 4WD LX (EX also) by bkcco

I contacted nearly 30 dealers in 7 states: Florida (Pompano, Sherwood), New Mexico (Alb), New Jersey (VIP), Texas (Houston, Reliant), Colorado (Denver), Nevada (LV), and California (LA area and SF area). The prices for a 2007 4WD LX were lowest in the LA area at $23,700 on up, but no one had my color (white). All my prices are OTD for the vehicle costs but excluding sales tax and licensing (non dealer costs). Not many 4WD move here in LA. The volume is reportedly highest in LA so prices can be low. Not many 4WDs in LA. By the way, my lowest price for the EX 4WD was $26,000 in LA.
 
Northern Cal's (more 4WD as closer to Tahoe) and NJ's prices were mid $24,000. Houston's lowest price was $24,300 (white) OTD. Florida's prices were $24,800+. NM's prices were mid $26,000 to high $27,000. Colorado's prices were low $26,000 to low $27,000. I live in Colorado but refused to pay the higher price as dealers here are a bit arrogant due to the record snowy winter this year.
 
A dealer in Santa Rosa (Manly) had my color and the 07 LX 4WD at $24,024 OTD, a bit higher than LA but my color, included the $1,500 dealer incentive and could NOT get the 0.9%. I bought it and shipped it to Colorado and still paid less than the local dealer's prices here. My lowest internet transport/shipping quote from N.Cal to Denver was $590 open, $890 enclosed door to door (auto transport 4 less). I got a special deal with my employer's moving company for about the same.
 
I accessorized my Pilot with mudguards, running boards, mats, cargo cover, cargo tray, and wheel locks at bernardiparts as they beat my lowest quotes (by $.01 and matched lowest shipping costs) from all the other web sites.
 
Love the Pilot and can't wait to tear up the snow.

Thank you very much, I will try them out. Maybe I can push them for a Navi for 2K more!

Hey Crazy runner,
  I am in the phily area as well and I was wonder what dealership you obtained that deal? I am also looking for an EX-L but if the deal is good, I want to upgrade to one with a Navi.
 
I am just starting the internet bidding process and hoping to purchase without financing in 2-3 wks. Any help or tips would be appreciated.
 
Thanks!

Will Incentives Continue? by lawnmower

Anybody have a prediction on whether Honda will keep the current Pilot incentives going through March? Could they possibly get better to close out first quarter? I hope so.

Read my message 8409. The Pilot (like the Ridgeline) wholesales 10k from list 1st year. It will not move without sizeable incentives. (its still better than most in its segment)
 
A review of the messages in July-Aug 06 will reveal easy purchases of 6500-7500 off list for most models as the 07s rolled out. You may be able to approach this now if you know what you are doing. There will be a sure repeat this summer. It was heavily incentivized in 05 also.

I'm with you on this one....though I don't have a crystal ball, the smart bet is to wait until the Summertime to buy a Pilot. Unless you HAVE to have a vehicle immediately.
 
Waiting 4 months may save you an extra couple thousand bucks.

Ok, forgive the long message, just venting out, I just went thru 3 dealerships in my area so far, all 3 clowns would not honor the INTERNET QUOTE they gave me, one was as low as $29,674.00 w/o tax, ttl, etc... So I went there first thinkning what a great deal (obviously), I was told that it was a misquote for a wrong version of a Pilot (I wanted the EX-L AWD w/ Navi), so a cool camper that I was decided to stay & see what they have to offer, btw, I already have a loan from my credit union and I had the check with me w/c I didnt tell them (4.25% for 60 mos), somehow they still insists on going thru Honda Finance, great rates but somehow they say my credit isnt that good (I said a 783 credit score is not good, get outta here!!!), I then realized, playing along, that my bargaining power diminishes when you go financing with Honda, they started talking about the rates is slightly higher (6.79%), the would-be monthly payment etc, so in short, they started playing with the numbers , reading thru the Purchase Order, can you believe they added an "Appearance Package" for $1,287.00 (mudguards, floor carpet & wheel locks, WHAT A DEAL), all in all the Pilot totaled $35,433.79 OTD (gee, Deal or No Deal).. Anyways, I demanded a flat $31000.00 including tax, ttl & tags, they flat out said no and walk away I did... On to the next dealerships, I'll keep you guys posted...
