#137 of 206 Re: Comparing vehicles? [shaky4] by davethecarnut Aug 01, 2007 (9:46 pm)
Replying to: shaky4 (Aug 01, 2007 6:54 am) I agree also..no regrets. But, my Entourage has had a few recalls; A/C compressor pulley making noise, idler arm pulley making noise and most troublesome was when we got stranded by the ECU going out and not being able to start the van. My van is an early production model so recalls are inevitable and things are working great now. But it;s so comfortable and smooth riding that the wife and I just love it. And a terrific value too. Although I got to admit, that the vehicle this van replaced, a Honda Accord, never saw the dealer again after we drove it off the lot...

Replying to: davethecarnut (Aug 01, 2007 9:46 pm) we have a later production model Entourage and thankfuly (touch wood) have had no problems yet. I think all models have their problems including the Sienna and Odyssey, just look at their forums. IMO anyone considering a new import car will do very well looking at Hyundai and save a lot of money.

Replying to: davethecarnut (Aug 01, 2007 9:46 pm) Early ones also had some vibration/alignment problems, but Hyundai finally issued a TSB. Not while I was shopping, though, so that was a small factor in my decision to buy something else.

#141 of 206 rapid slowing by shupe Aug 18, 2007 (8:23 am)
Earlier comments or worries about rapid slowing of Sedona when taking foot off gas. That braking only happens under 40 mph. Cruise over 40 if possible for freewheeling.
#142 of 206 Surprising price difference by aberwacky Aug 27, 2007 (6:54 am)
I've been looking at an Entourage limited with Sunroof package and a Honda Odyssey EX-L--I consider them to be roughly similarly equipped for our purposes.   Last "final" quotes I got were surprising:   Honda Odyssey-EX-L: $27,536 Hyundai Entourage Limited: $27,216 (including the rebate)   The local Hyundai dealership has not been willing to deal at all, despite having eleven 2007 Entourages in their lot and the 2008s on the way. The Honda dealership is openly trying to get rid of the Odysseys to make room for the 2008s.   My price (my calculated price to pay based on invoice, rebate, etc.) for the Entourage was $24,281 including the rebate, but the dealer won't even come close. Even without further negotiating, the Odyssey is within $50 of "my" price.   I went into this planning on getting the Hyundai--we have an XG300L and a Santa Fe now and are big fans of the automaker--and you just can't beat the standard features (both safety, warranty and otherwise) for the money. However, with the pricing we're getting on the Honda, I may choose that one. Never thought I would.

Replying to: aberwacky (Aug 27, 2007 6:54 am) In five years from now you won't regret buying the Honda. We love our Odyssey and have had few problems with it. The price you stated sounds very good. I am surprised at the Hyundai dealer not being more flexible. Most of what I've heard about them has been positive.

Replying to: aberwacky (Aug 27, 2007 6:54 am) That dealer needs a reality check. Just look at residual values for both.   I think your $24.8k is entirely realistic. In fact when I looked at Limited models I remember them being right about that much, $25k.   Shop at fitzmall.com, they will have much better prices, and they have a Hyundai store.

#145 of 206 Local Hyundai dealer by aberwacky Aug 27, 2007 (10:56 am)
This dealer has been very difficult from the beginning, and I would prefer not to do business with them if at all possible because of the typical "car salesman" approach they use. Unfortunately, the two dealerships within 50 miles of me are both owned by the same people.   I'm getting some quotes from dealers farther away--well I'm trying to. It's amazing to me that some don't even respond to the requests.   Thanks for the fitzmall reference. I'll give them a try.   I think I can go lower on the Odyssey--my "low" price was before I knew about the $2000 dealer incentive Honda is offering. Still, though, it's not a bad price.   Leigh Replies to this message: ateixeira (Aug 27, 2007 10:58 am)

Replying to: aberwacky (Aug 27, 2007 10:56 am) If you want to compare no-haggle Honda prices in the same region, try:   http://www.brownscar.com/   They have a Honda store. Just make sure to add freight and processing, since they do not include those.
