Buyers are paying top dollar for the '05 Odyssey now, too.
 
The Odyssey prices paid is a very busy thread. Seems you can get real good deals on the EX with leather. That would be a good way to try out Honda's VCM. Several bought at just over Invoice. That is where a person should buy any vehicle, or walk out of the dealership.

It depends on how badly you want the car now. If you expect to pay just over invoice, you won't be buying a car like a HAH, Prius, Mini Cooper, or--in most cities, like mine--an Ody anytime soon.

Despite your argument above, I find it quite unconvincing that minivan technology is leapfrogging as fast as hybrid technology!
 
Bingo! You are correct about hybrid minivans representing radical change. Your argument confirms my argument about hybrid technology.

It is worth a plane ticket to save a few thousand dollars, at least to me. I have not bought more than 2 new vehicles close to home. I will not be ripped by a local dealer just to stay close. Alaska and California are notorious for overcharging. Many out of state dealers are happy to pick you up at the airport to sell a new car. I've done it dozens of times.

Uhmm, I don't see that, but if it makes you happy then that's a good thing.

You haven't bought more than 2 new vehicles close to home? When was the last time you bought a new vehicle, period? Whenever you talk about your cars, it's about the 1990 Lexus and the old Suburban and the old Mazda 626.
 
I would fly to get a good deal on a car too, if necessary. Fortunately I've been able to get good deals on the cars I've purchased close to home. I just haven't purchased a really "hot" car like the HAH before. Closest I came was the '04 Prius I ordered, but I got $500 off list on that in November '03, so I didn't think that was unreasonable given the popularity of the car.

1998 in Idaho, when I bought the 1999 Suburban. I don't wear them out that fast anymore. I use to get a new car every 3 years and realized what a fool I was. My current wife owns the 1990 Lexus and Mazda 626. She is much more conservative than I am. People that waste money buying every new model that comes out don't have much to show for their foolish spending habits. I would rather buy property in CA, Hawaii, AK & even Long Prairie MN.
 
PS
I bought my first new vehicle in 1964, A Toyota Land Cruiser for $2400 here in San Diego. The only Japanese car I still wish I had.

I am very doubtful that Mr. Gagrice can buy a HAH at a price which is less than MSRP for now.

Hi Gagrice:
 
Alaska and California are notorious for overcharging.
 
___I don’t know about Alaska but California has had some of the best deals going as of the last 2 - 4 weeks on Accord LX’s, EX’s, EX-L’s, EX-L’s w/ NAVI, and V6’s w/ and w/out NAVI in the country. You bet it is worth the flight and drive back. I would turn the trip out into a mini-vacation in fact.
 
___Good Luck

Honda Inc. has been offering 1.9% financing on all Accord models except the HAH (2.9%). It is the best deal ever. Big 3 offers 0%. Nissan 1.9%, some Nissan models one can get big rebates. The Maxima seems to be the great model except the resale value is still less than the Accord V6, not to mention the super hot HAH.
 
And of course if one wants zero dollar pay out from his tight pocket he can jog fast to work or frog leap to the shopping malls every day to save big bucks.
