You should be paying MSRP plus around 600 for shipping. Edmunds site has pricing for each style and tranny.

Thanks to both of you; talking to car salespeople always makes me a wee bit paranoid, so it's nice to have other opinions. Now I have to decide whether to trade in the Odyssey (convenience) or sell it myself (more money).

the better money is always selling vehicles by yourself...I prefer to loose some money rather than dealing with some idiots out there that do nothing but waste your time...and call me paranoid but I am not crazy about people (starngers) know where I live or coming back with buyers remorse since it seems that most people do not understand "final sale,no warranties"...but it is your call...if you trade do not forget that pay less taxes since the tax on the new vehicle is calculate minus the trade in value....

Yeesh! I had not thought of the sales tax angle at all. I have always believed that it's better to sell it yourself than trade it in and was leaning toward doing that anyway. However, the price of a new Fit is in the ballpark of the value of my Odyssey, and the sales tax difference might just be enough to swing me over to trading it. That, and not having to deal with showing it to people might make up for the lower amount of money I'd get. Thank you again!

If your Odyssey is less than 5 years old and free of mechanical problem with minor cosmetic problem: take it to dealer get appraised.
Then post it on news paper or online with a price of $3000 more than dealer's quote. You will get $2000~2500 more finally which is much better than what you save from tax. You have to be patient for the sake of money...

...maybe yes...maybe not.....and then one has to start lowering the price...because in my opinion the only good price to get for a vehicle that we sell....is what you get when it is sold...$3k..$2.5K....$1k...tic toc tic ..toc....so if you have the time, patience and stamina to deal with the idiots out there then sell it yourself...one final advise..DO NOT sell to friends,family or neighbors....that is like NEVER getting rid of the car,regardless on how good of a condition is in...good luck
