I am getting close to pulling the trigger on an EXL with Navi. The best offer that I have been able to find is $27,935 all fees included (dest, handling, etc.). Can anyone share feedback on this price? I am in Colorado and haven't seen any local posts, so any thoughts from those with experience are appreciated. Thx

If anyone is looking for a vehicle with these specifications in the Maryland regional area, please let me know. I understand that this color combination is hard to come by; I have a lead for anyone interested. Price = $27,500.16 (may be negotiable) Thanks, Trin |

Replying to: hood3 (Apr 14, 2008 8:13 pm) So far the best I have is $27,300 for AWD EX-L WITH Navigation. (Plus tax and dmv/title). This is from Atlantic Honda in Bayshore. I think I can get it a little lower when I actually go into the dealership w/ a check. I am waiting until the end of the month, when my leased car has to be returned.

Using the "donkey punch" method from the Odyssey Price thread, I got about 10 quotes from local dealers in Atlanta. Here's the best I received: Internet Price: $ 23,299.00 (dest.included) Dealer Doc Fee: 599.75 Sales Tax (7%) 1,672.91 Title Fee: 21.00 TOTAL DRIVE OUT: $ 25,592.66 That seems pretty good. (They also quoted me $27,305.73 OTD for a 2WD EX-L with nav). I think I'm gonna play that quote off some of the other dealers to get a bit better deal. Is there more room to negotiate? |

As an ordinary buyer after owning my Dodge minivan for over 10 years and wanting something smaller and more economical ... I have spent 4 months on my research in person, in publications, and on the internet. My buying experience (2 Plymouths, a Ford station wagon, a VW camper, a Triumph TR-3, a Volvo sedan, a Datsun coupe, a Dodge pickup, and finally the minivan) and my own personal OPINION ... Comparing many different manufacturers and models, my final choice based upon my needs, safety, gas consumption, dealership quality, and price came down to the base models of Santa Fe, CRV, and the Malibu. On my needs and crash test safety: all three were equal. On gas: the Santa Fe = 18/24; the CRV = 20/24/; the Malibu LS = 22/30. On vehicle reliability: Honda CRV, the new Malibu, really last the Santa Fe On dealership quality: 0-10 the CRV = 0; the Santa Fe = 3; the Malibu = 9 On price: the Malibu LS no options = OTD was $20,084; the CRV and Santa Fe at least $5,000 more and much more depending upon the dealership... up to over $30,000 on a Toyota Camry Hybrid. Costco Auto Program (which I was informed is not owned by Costco but by an advertising company paid for by the dealerships) was even more expensive and ineffective than direct dealer negotiations. I would not have thought to even consider a Chevrolet Malibu, but the news all over the internet was amazingly positive. With Detroit suffering and the global financial markets so dangerous, parts and costs from overseas may not remain stable in the future. And then I know it may sound irrelevant, but I decided to support a USA company... and really from my own logic. The Malibu in my choice of color was on the lot for just hours after delivery and with only 2 miles on it; manufactured in March 2008; the dealership has been in the same family here for over 40 years and is directly involved with the company. The wife runs the service department and her son runs another department. The receptionist has been there over 30 years. The entire staff that I had to deal with were very, very courteous, cooperative, and knowledgeable... in outrageously sharp contrast to other dealerships and the reputation of car dealers. None of my extended family nor I had ever bought a vehicle from this Chevrolet dealership (and in fact my mother's Impala was the only Chevy [from Chicago] we ever owned), but knew of this local Chevrolet's reputation. No wonder this dealership has been in business for so long... in an extremely rapidly growing community of developers' gated homes and with frequent loss of every kind of business ownership here, I think I have made a wise choice. I hope others will share honestly and completely on this website so that vehicle buying can be made much less painful, time-consuming, and more equal in price & and transparency. Hopefully Edmunds, Consumer Reports, etc independency increasing in the future will cause consumers to know and demand an end to the present "carnival circus like" market place that now exists. All you folks out there, please keep the pressure on to help build a better environment for vehicle retail purchasing so when I hopefully return to the market in 10 more years, buying will be easier and fairer to all. My best regards to everyone.
