Has anyone tried to send emails to some dealers telling them what you want and that you will buy in the next 3 days? I did that when I leased my Accord in 07 and got it below invoice at a time when invoice was considered the lowest price. Also - give the dealers another few weeks - they are still on a CFC high. I think they are also trying to give the impression they are not dealing right now which is BS. Honda (Acura volume included) is off 20% this year. Once you get your best deal online, see if you can beat it face to face. Once you have your checkbook out, they will bite. If not the first dealer, the second. Good luck PS - anyone heard of problems with the Pilot's engine?

Replying to: albert72 (Oct 21, 2009 4:05 am) http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3022-autosales.html#autosalesE Look at the sales numbers for Honda truck/suv and Mini vans. Some of the guys on a different forum(odyssey forum on this site) were suggesting the rebates might make a comeback in Nov. Hope it is true.... I know its wishful thinking, dont jump on me for that

Looking at $32995 on a 2010 EX-L AWD. I am being told that is "at invoice" but looking at kbb.com and edmunds, invoice is $32814. According to truecar.com, its a good price.

Replying to: mirrodie1 (Oct 21, 2009 8:01 pm) sounds good. Costco price in Norcal was 33150. And dealer wouldn't budge lower. |

Replying to: mms5 (Oct 22, 2009 2:51 pm) Yeah, that was the emailed offer from a few dealers in the northern cali region. All strictly Internet queries. Very little effort. I think I can squeeze some more in person at month end. I'm sure they're looking to unload with all the 2010s coming in. |

There is hope out there! I've been conducting research (Edmunds, Truecar, CarBuyingTips, etc) on various 4WD/AWD 3rd row SUVs and had narrowed it down to the 2010 Pilot 4WD Touring w/Nav and a comparably equipped Mazda CX-9 AWD Grand Touring for several months. My wife preferred the Honda name and associated reliability, while I preferred the CX-9 and its sportier nature (even though I tried to explain to the wife that the Honda is actually made in North America, while the CX-9 is manufactured in Japan). Even though I was using the update of the fax attack using e-mails to generate RFQ’s for the model, trim, and acceptable color combinations (Blue, Black, Red, or Silver) to reach as many dealers in as little time, like most of the visitors to the forum, finding a 2010 Pilot Touring IN STOCK was very disappointing (thank you Cash for Clunkers for wiping out supply and increasing demand = bad for me). Since today was a lousy, rainy day, I decided to phone the dealers nearest to me that had not responded back to see if they had any in stock. Now that I was armed with at least some quotes as a baseline, if they did have some in stock, I could throw out a number to see if they would accept my bid. After contacting 3 dealers near me, as luck would have it, a dealer that I had been corresponding with earlier through e-mails (he had a Blue color, but it was a 4WD Touring with RSE) had a brand new Alabaster Silver 4WD Touring with Nav available. I told him that his e-mail offer was close, but that I needed a little reduction. We went back-and-forth over the phone, but we finally agreed on a price and that I wanted to come down and make a deal once I had looked over the car. When we got to the dealership, I looked over the car and I was pleasantly surprise that they had just taken delivery of it the day before and that it was so brand new, that the car had not even gone thru the normal dealer-prep that the dealer places on all of their models (i.e. standard wheel locks and pin stripping). So here are the details on my purchase; 2010 Honda Pilot 4WD Touring w/ Nav (Silver with Grey interior) - Negotiated price = $ 35,196 - Freight = $ 710 - Dealer Processing fee = $ 99 - Sales Tax (6% in MD) = $ 2,160.30 - Title, Tags (Maryland) = $ 274 - Total OTD PRICE = $38,439.30 Good Luck everyone.
