First and foremost, a grand thank you to all in this forum for sharing their experiences and knowledge to help all of us. I finally signed on the dotted line last night and drove off the lot with my new ride. Have to say.. this is my very first new vehicle purchase and it was the easiest purchase EVER! I went to Klein Honda in Everett, WA as they beat everyone I talked to in a 50 mile radius. The salesman (email me if you want more info) was absolutely a perfect gentlemen and recognized that even though I am a woman, I too can do alot of research and knew my stuff. He was a straight shooter, we didn't dicker around with pricing and he kept his word. He recognized that for those who do their research, he doesn't deny the fact of holdbacks, floorplans and dealer cash. With a net invoice of $27,000. All they were asking was a little profit on the car. Over the phone we agreed to $27,500. Once I got there, the only addition were the mudflaps and wheel locks. I did gently voiced that I would not be needing them. He had them listed at cost, and then further reduced the price by another 100 bucks. He comes out with the huge "options" book, asks if I'm interested in any, I say no thank you and he puts the book away. Not a second word mentioned. Did a complete walk through and demo of all the features.. and was even helping and overseeing the cleaning crew making sure my ride was perfect. He did look at my possible trade in and gave me the price he could give me, even though it was the best price that I received from any other dealership it wasn't worth it to trade and he even said so. The difference is that he didn't start fudging numbers and mixing up the two different transactions. The finance guy was fast and efficient. He showed all the extras and options which I declined and that was it. Absolutely no pressure tactics at all! I was OTD after TTL at $30,500. If you want to find a great vehicle, in and out the door in short order without any hassles at all. This was the sweetest, easiest deal I've ever had purchasing a vehicle, no hype, no song and dance, no pressure tactics... and if you bring your kids (I had my 3yr old with me) they will feed them too! Email me if you have any questions or would like further info. Thank you to all! Cheers, T

Replying to: alnshan (Jul 14, 2007 8:56 pm) before TTL you should have been somewhere in the neighborhood of $3500 below invoice. if you feel you were mislead, post the dealership name and location so that others won't be ripped off.

Replying to: big10bb (Jul 14, 2007 3:18 pm) Joliet couldn't match the price I'd gotten, but I tried. I'm in the SW suburbs, so this would've been much easier to go to! I checked with the salesman to make sure there are no add ons, because I won't pay for them and have no problem walking out. He did assure me that there will be no surprises, so we'll see. We're buying the car tomorrow. |

My neighbor (who is a Honda salesman) was trying to get me to buy another Pilot. He told me that the incentives were changing on July 21st. He did not know what this new incentive was. I also emailed another Honda dealer. They quoted me $3500 minus invoice and it was good until the 20th. Can anyone verify if there is a new incentive on the 21st?

Replying to: jillyrene (Jul 14, 2007 12:33 pm) If it turns out they were goosing you and things get too out of hand just walk out, a 6500 off deal is nothing to write home about. Good Luck --jjf Thanks, jjf. I did get the OTD then, but I think they will try to add in wheel-locks and mud flaps like someone else mentioned. Should I discuss this over the phone? And because I want a color they'll have to get, I'll have to put a deposit down before I get the VIN info. If there are a lot of miles on it, what's the next step? THANK YOU!
