After a few weeks of educating myself through this board, I purchased a 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L with RES and NAV, white exterior, from DCH Kay Honda in Eatontown, New Jersey yesterday. The overall experience was very positive, and I recommend them highly. The final cost of the Ody was $30,375. This amount does not include the dealer doc prep fee ($199), state mandated tire recovery ($7.50) and registration transfer ($48) fees, and sales tax. In addition, I qualified for Honda's incentive financing and elected to pay 3.9% on a 60 month term. |

Replying to: glengarry (Jul 01, 2009 6:47 pm) I'm curious... How far do you live from Ohio? Most of the border area dealerships have no issues with getting KY plates/registration for their customers.. I live in KY, and every new car I've ever bought has come from an Ohio dealership.

Hello all, I've been unofficially shopping for an Odyssey from about 5 months (since I found out my wife is pregnant with #3). I've really gotten into the last week or two in terms of actually talking to salespeople and dealers. I don't live in/near a metro area so my prices are not as good as some of the ones I've seen on here (some have been quite helpful reads - thanks!) My numbers are "close" but not exact. I think I'm down to two options: Certified 2006 EX-L RES/NAV 20,000 + tax/fees (about 57-58k miles) with the amount we plan to put down and a quoted loan rate of 5.69% for 60 months, this one works out to around $225 a month - we don't really care about navigation but the car is still one of the better deals that I could find on a certified car in my search radius New 2009 EX-L RES 30,000 + tax/fees at the advertised 3.9% for 60 months, this one was going to be $400 a month - salesperson was as honest and fair (relative to the stereotypical car salesman) and seemed to work hard to get everything lined up to get in the car for about $400/month - which was the most we said we were willing to pay ... after calling them back a day or two later and saying we just couldn't afford it, I got a call from his manager today offering to "manipulate" or "work" the numbers and extend the loan out to 72 months to get the monthly payment to get it down to just below $350 per month - but wouldn't get specific about a new selling price for the vehicle - which tempts me to offer them 28k and see if the price magically lowers a bit more to get comfortably within our budget .......... at nearly twice the monthly payment, I agreed with my wife that a new car wasn't worth it ... but now that it's potentially $100-$125 more per month instead of $200 - it's getting harder to resist trying to argue that the extra expense is worth it (less miles, power liftgate) ... I don't want to be a payment buyer on the new car, but I also don't want the initial cost to scare me away from the overall value the matters are complicated a bit by the fact that the new car would be through the closest thing I have to a "local" Honda dealership - the certified car was found using the internet and has been negotiated completely by phone to this point - anyone out there who's been through something similar or has any thoughts based on their own search? thanks

Replying to: jpfn (Jul 02, 2009 4:25 am) We wish to find out whether or not you financed thru the dealership. Are you sure the dealership is gonna send you a check for crediting the difference to your account? We bought our minivan EXL RN early May together with extended warranty from the dealership ($1495 for $0 deductible/8 years/120K miles). At that time, we even shown the online printout from the web for Saccucci Honda, but the dealership still charged us for $1495 after the pricematch. After we found out the rep had cheated us for $260 extra for that warranty (she told us there's normally a fee associated with this purchase online). We backed up the contract with the dealership within few days. But the dealership said they won't mail us any check for the refund since the paperwork had already mailed out to American Honda Financing Center. There's nothing they could do about it! We did a 2.9% financing for 36 months. So, the only differences would be: monthly payment would still be the same, but we'll get to payoff our loans possibly in 34 months or so. Let me know further detail info. Thanks! |

For the passing month of June, Honda sold 11.8% more Odysseys than they did in June 08. They are doing good. They may scale the incentives back. Toyota on the other hand sold 39.1% less Siennas than they did in June 08. They for sure need to ramp up their rebate. For those waiting for that "better deal" on the Odyssey, the current offers may be just that.
