Replying to: 4343 (Jul 02, 2009 5:33 pm) I'm actually pondering the same thing.   I have an offer on the table for a 09 4wd Touring (RES, NAV, Running Boards)   32K OTD 35,100. Its a Demo with 6,800 miles.   I'm starting to lean towards a new 10 4wd EX-L w/ RES, Running Boards and after market bluetooth   Best quote for this has been 35,200 OTD 38,350   I haven't worked the 2010 Ex-L price down yet, however, so I think this is still a bit high.   I am leaning towards the 2010 car for the simple fact that the trade-in value in 4-5 years will be higher.   Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Replying to: 4343 (Jul 02, 2009 5:33 pm) I was the one that mentioned the first year depreciation on an 09, but I wouldn't get too hung up on it. It's not really one year since it's a new car, and I'm not sure how well the argument would hold with a dealer. If you can get the 09 for between 31K-32K including destination, I think you will have gotten a very good deal. I'm not as sure about the 10 because I haven't run any numbers on it. I don't know what's going on with Honda in VA, because the prices people are documenting here are pretty amazing. Replies to this message: nuzy (Jul 02, 2009 7:05 pm)

Replying to: 4343 (Jul 02, 2009 5:33 pm) Here's my experience if it will help.   I started out wanting an 09 2WD EX-L. I started getting quotes and pretty soon had some offers and constant communications with dealers. I was specific on color combination so it was a pretty hard match. As it went on, I started thinking well, what if I compromise on it and maybe pay extra for 4WD EX-L or maybe 4WD EX-L with RES, etc etc. After a few days I thought about it hard and I came to the decision that I do not want to spend the extra on 4WD or RES just to get the color or the 09s I want. If I can't get what I wanted, I say to myself, I am not willing to pay more for something that I don't need for a specific year model. I rather not buy. Plus it sure makes it confusing for myself without the dealers help. Hahaha... Compare apples to apples. Your situation may be different.   Best 09 2WD EX-L was $29,000.00 + doc fee + TTL but not the color I wanted. Best 10 2WD EX-L $30,000.00 + doc fee + TTL   If I waited it out, I may have been able to get the 09s at $28,000.00. However, with what I can compare with the 2010, even at $28,000.00 (if I get it) for the 09s is only a $2k difference. I went with the 2010. I feel that the 09s and 10s price difference have to be larger to make it worth getting the 09s.   Hope it helps. Replies to this message: nuzy (Jul 02, 2009 7:07 pm)

Replying to: nuzy (Jul 02, 2009 6:53 pm) That's a tough choice. I'm going to a dealer tomorrow who has offered a 4WD Touring w/ Nav and Res demo with 5500 miles on it for around $35,500. Assuming the car is in great shape, if I could get him down to $32K including destination, I think I'd have to jump on that deal. It a $40,765 MSRP, so almost $9,000 off sticker - pretty unheard of for a Honda Pilot and still a mostly new car. I plan to get a 100/120K extended warranty on it, so I'm not as concerned about the mileage.   I'm not sure what to say about the 2010 EXL w/ Res as I haven't considered one yet. There are a few features on the Touring that I would really like to get, I just don't want to pay too much more for them. Given the 09 and 10 are almost identical, I'm good with going with a better deal on a 09, regardless of the extra year. After all, that's the whole reason you are getting the better deal (in addition to the demo miles).   Good luck with your decision!

Replying to: aln1 (Jul 02, 2009 7:03 pm) I agree with this thought process - in your case, given the minimal price difference for the same style / feature set, I would have gone with the 2010 as well.

Replying to: 4343 (Jul 02, 2009 5:33 pm) That's a lot to pay if you don't even want RES, IMO. Got a quote in Waterloo, IA for '09 EX-L 4WD with RES 32,292 +TTL and there are two on the lot: Blue/Gray interior and Silver/Gray interior. According to Truecar.com that's a great price for our region. Really nice guy I spoke with - email me if you want his contact. In IA, EX-L 4WD w/o RES are about impossible to find, but Chicago area has quite a few yet. Replies to this message: aln1 (Jul 02, 2009 7:19 pm)

Replying to: nightowlmolly (Jul 02, 2009 7:09 pm) After I looked at your prices again, I think both are kinda high as well. 4343, see how low you can go on both, maybe the decision to make will be easier then.
#13223 of 13817 2010 4WD Touring NAV w/ RES by jungle_cat Jul 03, 2009 (4:17 pm)
Hello all:   I bought a 2010 4WD Touring with NAV and RES for about 36900 plus tax in the Boston area. I went to a few dealers in the area and there were not a lot of Touring models in stock. A few dealers did not have them at all.   I think I could have done better but oh well.   JC Replies to this message: jungle_cat (Jul 04, 2009 7:25 am) nuzy (Jul 04, 2009 8:03 am) aln1 (Jul 04, 2009 11:08 am) franklw (Jul 04, 2009 11:01 pm)

#13225 of 13817 New 2009 2WD Touring w/ RES by dgallagh28 Jul 03, 2009 (6:36 pm)
I just put a new 2009 2WD Touring w/ RES on hold through Monday. The price I was quoted was $33,130. The only fees not included in this price are title and plates, which amount to approx. $300. Does this seem like a competitive price? Thanks! Replies to this message: nuzy (Jul 03, 2009 7:37 pm)
