Ive been getting quotes on a EX-L Pilot with RES for the last week. The best figure I have gotten so far is $37,500 OTD. I would be getting it at $34,260.12 which is supposedly invoice plus destination charge. And this is after working with a total of 8 dealerships. They are all coming in between $100 to $400 of each other. They are also not budging from invoice price. I dont feel right with that price. I know there has to be a better deal out there in Jersey. The problem is that all of the dealerships are saying that same thing: Inventory is low and we dont know when we will be getting more vehicles or that the CFC program wiped them out of inventory.

My brother-in-law work for a honda body shop and he told me it cost around $40 to put it on. Maybe we should go in together. They might give us a better deal. Let me know if you're able to get a good deal.

Replying to: leoskee (Oct 16, 2009 5:09 pm) Now what happened with me is more interesting, One of the dealers agreed on mail at a price of 37,625 OTD. I tried reaching that guy on phone and left number of messages but did not got any response. So I tried reaching them a different way through a buyers program. Got his manager to call me and his explanation is that the OTD is total cost for the car and I will have to add for tax, doc and dmv fees to it. This brings the price to 40K something. This is 2010 touring with RES. Can someone please help me understand what OTD is because I definitely have a different understanding of OTD, that is the Out the Door price that includes everything that you have to pay to the dealer. |

Replying to: carwar (Oct 17, 2009 2:44 pm) On a different note I was able to get a dealer to agree to $36,000 out the door for an EX-L w/ RES. After looking at the numbers I still did not feel like it was a true deal so I am waiting. I plan on trying again at the end of the month and seeing if I can get a better price. The thing that is killing me is the posting of much lower prices paid in other parts of the US. I can't bring myself to pay 2-3K more just because I live in NJ. As far as OTD: It means that the price agreed to is the price paid including all taxes and fees. So dont let them try to scam you. Anyone in the car business knows what it stands for!

I ended up pruchasing Mazda 09 AWD Sport with PWR Driver Seat, heated seat package from Crystal Auto Mall in NJ for 25,000 + 300(Doc Fees) + TAX and Title. I would have loved the touring but they don't have any. I was in between 2010 Honda PILOT EXL for 33,000 + TTL or this one. As it is saving a lot of money and adding the same value which can fit 7 passengers I pulled the trigger on Mazda. I really hoped Honda would have given a better price.

Replying to: cubrain (Oct 16, 2009 5:13 pm) It seems the dealers in Dallas area are too greedy. OTD price of 33000 – 33300 is reasonable price for a 2010 EXL Pilot w/o DVD even with the added accessories since all these cost around 200. Like you said all these are marked up over 200% and most of these are useless. The followings are from a dealer in Dallas. Tinted Protection Package (cargo tray, splash guards, wheel locks) $799 Door edge guards $299 Window tint $299 Hand Painted Pin stripe: $299. It is hard to say in near time if we can have a good deal on Pilot in Dallas, probably other cars like 4Runer, Highlander are choices too. Thanks and keep in touch. Tutt |
