Replying to: 4343 (Jul 02, 2009 5:33 pm) 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.

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: 4343 (Jul 02, 2009 5:33 pm) 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.

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 |

| Finally pulled the trigger on a 2010 EXL 2WD here in Atlanta, GA. Price was $30100 + TTL. THink I did ok though. | |

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!

So I had a pretty sweet deal, similar to Nuzy's above, but actually for a few hundred less for a demo '09 touring. We were in the process of going through financing, and without warning or notice, after getting off the phone with financing they called back an hour later to say they sold the car. They had given us a few options that we were going over, and being that is happening at 5pm on 7/3, we felt that we'd have at least the night to think about it before calling on 7/4 to pull the trigger. I know this is not personal, but I am PISSED. I feel that at the very least we should have been given the first right of refusal or something. They took a completely laid back approach with us as we'd been going back and forth about this car for a few days, and never once mentioned someone else was close to a deal on the car, which would have made us go a bit faster. Anyway, do you think it is fair for me to ask them to honor the OTD price of $35,1000 that we had "settled" on for the demo, instead now for a 2010 EXL w/RES and added bluetooth and running boards? Or should I just take my business to the 10 other Honda dealerships in the city in which I live? I am very upset with this dealership, and feel that they are going to have to give me something outstanding in terms of a deal to get my business (not that my business is anything special....)
