Thanks to all who post on here. Your help and "Donkeypunch" method worked woll for me.
I am in NJ and looking to purchase an Odyssey EX-L with RES. Please let me know the price that you got (pls include the dealer name). If you prefer that both of us purchase at the same time for better deal, please e-mail me at jaya_krishnay@yahoo.com.
Thanks,
JK.
$27,350 + $1,641 tax (6% PA sales) + $165.95 TTL for a total Out the Door price of $29,156.95
I paid by check and had no trade-in.
Bought it from Conicelli Honda in Conshocken PA. Salesperson was excellent, no pressure, no tricks.
Specifics:
I made a lowball offer of 24000 (which I calculated to be there cost for the van) for an EX through their website. Internet sales consultant called me and politely came back with 25,000. I said that seemed good and I'd be in to look at colors and decide. After that, saw a real low price on craigslist (search philly, 2008 odyssey) an hour away. Went to look at Conicelli, decided on EX-L instead and used the craigslist ad of 27101 and asked if they'd match. They came back with 27,350 and I agreed. Closing was totally painless. No pressure to buy anything! No hidden fees. Basically all my cardealer anxiety was wasted on these guys because it was pleasant experience.
Here is the details
MRSP $36455.00
Dealer add on made the total $38955.00
( add-ons were window tint, wheel locks, paint sealant, fabric guard on the carpet, mudflaps)
Offered: $31000.00
Total out the door: $32982.30
I also was able to get the 0.9% for 36 months.
Save over 7,388 MSRP
SALE 26,988
or lease for 298/mo, $0 down, 3 yr/12K mi per yr
Inventory: 43 available

That sounds like a very good deal.
I am looking for the same thing in Indianapolis, IN.
Doe anyone know of any Indianapolis, IN dealers that might match that deal?
Haven't looked at their website but you might see if the ad is posted there and, if so, print it and shop it at Indy Honda stores.
I read the article on Http://www.carbuyingtips.com/car4.htm to help me negotiate for the price. Don't use the math that is done in this site else you'll end up paying higher price for the exl with res & nav.
Bottom line....Don't pay more than 30500 for exl with res & nav
Might as well print it out and give it a shot elsewhere! Wish they would have had a promo on the Touring when we were buying! ">link title

You can chat online with sales to confirm everything
You can ask for email confirmation & breakdown re OTD (out-the-door) drive out price.
Ask them to charge your credit card deposit (small amount) to reserve the car then go down there to sign docs as the email 100% stated.
You should also ask procedure for non-MA buyer because MA MVR does not issue Temp Plate.
Good Luck.
Thanks for the information.Can you please post the dealer name which offered 30K .
Thanks and regards

Are you an employee or have a financial relationship with this dealership? You know your facts about them.
That said, that's a heck of a deal. I assume it's the $2000 cash to dealer, no special financing price.
Based on my experience and monitoring their weekly / monthly promotions with this car dealer for 2 years, I know Boch Honda offers the cheapest price, at least in MA. That is the reason I posted so members can take advantage of it, use it as guideline for bargaining with their dealer. I am not related to this car dealers. I am just anothe regular consumer. I go where the best deal is. I also posted warning buyers beware re the floor manager trying double-dip on destination charges during quotation when I went down there.
Last month I leased 08 Pilot from another dealer, Herb Chambers, in Boston, as I found a better deal than Boch over there.
I want to know some prices for the exl - w/ res and nav , here in Miami Florida.
which is best price I can find. I 've qoutes from 33,500 to 30,200 . Somebody think I can get MA prices here Fl ?
Thanks for your comments

Had this ad been up three weeks ago I may have road tripped for it.
The day has finally arrived, my wife and I are ready to take the plunge to the other side and buy a Honda Odyssey minivan for our growing family. We have been tracking the promotions recently (special financing and $2000 dealer cash). We are looking for something fairly simple, a 2008 EX-L with no nav and no rear DVD. We figure it will be cheaper to get those two items from Costco.com and have the ability to move them from one car to another. My question is how much under invoice should I offer on this paticular (sp) car? The easy answer is $2000 under invoice. BUT, and I mean a big BUT, the economy is not doing so hot and I have a hunch that Honda will likely throw more promotions for the month of July and maybe even August. Yes, the 2009 models will soon come in but hopefully those too will also be discounted. Any suggestions, please let me know. Also, is it just me or are the alloy wheels on the EX-L really ugly? I love the wheels on the touring (PAX and standard touring) but we can't justify spending the extra $5000 or so for the touring model....any suggestions to improve the wheels for the EX-L? I have even thought about negotiating the dealership swapping wheels from a 2007 Odyssey and putting them on mine. Any ideas...please advise...thanks much.
Dan
In regards to the wheels, you may want to check out some of the postings on the 05+ forum on odyclub.com. People are going with the Acura MDX sport wheels and I believe some Acura RL wheels to upgrade their new current generation Odysseys. The wheels are bigger so you would need to get new tires too. Pretty sweet looking upgrades in the pics posted.
EXL
RES
Fender Trim (thick)
Running Boards
Fog Lights
*Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket DVD screen for the Odyssey? I want a larger screen.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks.
MSRP: 29595
Dealer Adj.: -2153
Capitalized Cost: 27442.00
Dealer Options: 588.50 (Sounds like an added bit)
Residual 57: 16869.15
State and Co. fees: 16.50
Acquisition Fee: 595.00
Delivery fee: 0
Use Tax (%): 3.25 (Not sure what this is either)
Sales Tax (%): 4.0
So based on 15K miles/year with 3136.50 due at signing it would be ~304 /36months.
I am not getting tingly feelings about this deal. What numbers should I be seeing? Also, what numbers should I be seeing for an EX-L? I see that most people can buy out right an EX for 25,600. Can you get the lease calculated at that level? Lots of questions I know, any and all help would be appreciated. My wife and I are very new to this (obviously). Also for us right now a lease is the only options b/c I'm in school and we need to keep the payments lower.
Thanks
I spoke to the Sales guys and they confirmed the price 26998 for RES . But it will take 10 - 15 days for me to get the vehicle.Also they will not deliver to NJ.
I have to make 2 trips to the dealership.In my first visit they will do the paper work and it will take close to 15 days to get the vehicle registered in NJ.Once it is registered , i have to go and drive it back to Home.
Is there anything else i should be cocerned , when i am buying a vehicle 300 miles away from home. Or is there any advantage if buy it from my neighbourhood Honda
regards

Seems like an excellent deal to me (price of the vehicle comes out to just below $28k to reach this payment), but how does it compare to what other people have been getting on this model? I've looked through the last several months of posts, but haven't found too many on leases.
My wife is concerned that the price will go even lower if we wait into July or even August, but I don't see how Honda can come in with even more dealer cash and/or better lease terms that what is available now. What do you all think?
Thanks,
Bryan
Thanks.

But who knows, the new 09's are probablly shipping in September so any 08's may see increase discounts.
Also does anyone know if any bay area dealer will have a big July 4th sale? I have not found anything yet.
I can actually get you in a brand new Dark Cherry Pearl 2008 Honda Odyssey EX-LR&N for $31,190.00. I have this available on the lot today and the MSRP on this vehicle is currently $36,480.00. In addition to this price they are offering special financing of 0.9% APR for 24 - 36 months or 2.9% APR for up to 60 months with approved credit. Let me know if this is something that you are interested in and we can get you in to take a look!
I just don't understand why folks want to have the Honda installed RES and NAV when you can get a great portable GPS and aftermarket DVD for much less. When you add in the cost of financing these options, it really is a ripoff. Why drop an extra 3k plus interest to Honda when you can do it all later for $1000 or less? Just one thrifty(cheap) man's opinion.
As for the res and nav - personal preference. I'm a big fan of the built-ins from the factory. I'm not into suction cups, drilling into my dash, cigarette lighter plugs, fm transmitters, etc. etc. etc. I'd much rather have these things built in and fully integrated into the car/audio system/steering wheel controls.
Anyway, just trying to share my pricing offer/info with the group.
I agree the cost is expensive b/c the mfgs know that people, like myself, would pay for the OE install. It is all prefrence and if you are willing to pay for it or not.
So I inform him I am coming later that day and to make an appointment with a salesperson as it is a very long trip for me to make back and forth in one day.
I get there and all goes well. I met with the individual in their BDC and he sits me down with a salesperson who "will take good care of me." They have the van, I checked it out, all is as expected. I then sit down with the sales person and we agree on price (after he tried to add destination, which I quickly squashed). I then bring up the 2.9 financing. The salesperson goes over to the desk to confirm and then comes the bad news. This price is not available with 2.9 financing.
I asked to get the individual from the BDC that told me 2 times that it was. He comes over and tries to tell me that he said it was "available" but not at that price. I stood up and said to him "you told me 2 times this morning 2.9 was available at this price". He then tells me that he doesn't deal with the financing - that is the finance desk. This individual had a favorable review on a dealer rating site as well.
After some heated conversation, I ask to talk to his manager. The sales manager comes over and tells me there was some confusion and that the best they can do with 2.9 financing was $27,700 - almost $1,700 more! I explained with the individual in front of me what was discussed and the bottom line is they just can't do it. A few trips back and forth with the finance desk - still can't do it.
Bottom line - I walked out. You live and you learn. So don't trust these people - they are typical slimy high-volume car dealers.
One thing I came to learn - the higher the documentation fee, the less you should trust a dealership. They charge $300. That says it all.
I went down this afternoon and I have to say it was the most pleasant auto buying experience I ever had (this is my 6th new car and 5th Honda). Just walking in, you could tell the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
I met with the salesperson I spoke with and she got the van and pulled it up to the door (I was with my wife and 3 kids). All was in good order.
We said we wanted to do it and sat down at her desk. It took about 20 minutes to do the paperwork. No surprise fees (and NO documentation fee). I still had to talk to the finance manager though.
I went in to the finance manager, he informed me of the extended warranty ($1,200 for 8 yr / 100k bumper to bumper coverage). I declined (but may still get it before I pick up the van). No other pressure to sell anything. No problems with the rate (I have a 733 FICO score). All done there in about 15 minutes.
This could not have been a more pleasant experience. I told both the salesperson and the finance manager that as well.
Bottom line - I highly recommend Nardy Honda in Smithtown, NY. They are a small dealership that does it the way it should be done.
In your case they can deny and saying it is all confusion but in the chat online case they can't deny what was siad when you went down there. You can print out the chat log yourself before closing the chat window, plus they are all recorded in Boch's computer and can be print out. They got to honor it even they made a mistake.
The best is ask the same sales person to follow up with email confirmation to you. As soon as you are satisfied with everything in B&W then call the sales to charge your CC in a small amount to hold the car for your arrival so they don't have another excuse of "the car we're talking was just sold, how about another one in a different price?"
Here in MA one dealer adds 350.00 on top for the swap based on the salesman potential loss of sales opportunity as he spends time outside.
My 99 was just totaled and we were not prepared to purchase a new car.
I really wanted to pay around 16,000 tops so I was looking at loaded 04's and 06's. Saw this and thought it would be worth going a little higher to get something this new.
Any advice?
Thanks a lot for all your help.
