2007 Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD no NAV or DVD by sandefur

I just purchased a 2007 Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD (white exterior and camel leather interior) for $27,201 plus $99 doc fee for a total of $27,300 OTD (McAlester, OK). Of course I still have to pay 3.75% of purchase price as Oklahoma excise tax plus $95 for tag and registration.
How does this size up with other Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD deals out there?

It was an in-stock vehicle. EX-L without RES and without NAV.
 
Here is a snip from the quote I was e-mailed:
 
"From your inquiry, I understand you are interested in the 2007 Honda, Pilot EX-L . Our Internet price on this vehicle is $25,998 plus $99 processing fee, any options, freight, taxes and tags. Our price is good for 7 days and in stock units."
 
I followed up with a request for a quote with the DVD. This is a snip from their reply:
 
"The price for the EX-L with DVD is $27,416 plus $99 processing fee, any options, freight, taxes and tags. Again the price is good for in stock units and for 7 days."
 
Hope this helps.

7500 off MSRP is very good (or is it 7700?). Finalize the deal over the phone (write it up) with the sales manager (s) with VIN# all dealer fees, and taxes. Get the bottom line otd price. Have the manager inspect it himself for delivery for any nicks and scratches if you have to drive.
 
 If you want email 10 other dealerships (not a handful) in a radius around your home from the honda website to see if they can beat your deal -$200 or so off msrp. (No use in trying just to get underbid by 50 or matched again).
 
If you have a trade try to hold out for kbb or edmunds outstanding for a newer vehicle. Helps that you have two who matched to work with.
 
Good luck

just got a quote from O'Hare Honda for a 07 Pilot EX-L AWD -- $26007 (includes dest fee). A handful of other area dealerships said they couldn't beat it (including Continental), and I think Castle Honda also matched this price. That was it.
  
Is this a good deal? Do I keep looking, or just buy? If I buy, what's the next step to make sure there are no surprises when closing the deal?

I am wondering how some people were able to get price quotes so low. Could it be that some dealers are overstocked to the point that they are selling them $4000 or more below invoice?? The best offers I've seen are $3500 off invoice in the NY/NJ area.

Where are you located?? In Chicagoland area, the best price I could get on this same style was $25,412. And several other area dealers couldn't even match. And the one dealer says he could "get" the color I want (not in stock?). Should I be wary?

Thanks!! I've gotten an OTD price with a breakdown of fees by email. But now I'm concerned about all these add-ons I'm reading about. Since the dealer has to get my particular color from somewhere else--should he still be able to fax over this VIN info, etc. ? I want this OTD price I got to be it. Not a penny more. Isn't that what OTD means?! http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com/media/townhall/webxicons/emotorcons/emo_grin.gif

I don't think I can post a specific name of a salesman...if you want to email me I can get forward you some information. It's definitely tough in the Seattle area to hit these prices I've seen in this forum. The local dealer in Eastern, WA wouldn't move below $30,300 (and acted like the incentive deal didn't exist) for an EX-L w/o NAV or RES.

Doug: How much below MSRP did you get the car for? I'm in MA area and am shopping for a 4x4 EXL with NAV. Thanks.

OTD means price and taxes + all fees. If this is the one you want, time to drop the emails and nail down the price, vin and write it up with the sales manager or if he turns you back over to the internet guy, with him by phone. Internet is great for narrowing down from 20 to 1 but semi finals go by phone.
