Congrats. This is a good deal. Just one question. What is the "Donkey Punch" method?
Internet invoice price for a EXL-Res is $30,612 -- I'd target at least $3500-$4000 below that.
I received some interesting info on Schomp in Denver. I was told that if you service the Ody there and perform all scheduled maintenance that they automatically extend the warranty to 7/100k. I heard this from someone who used to be a broker and actually contacted them directly as I was looking into a deal in Longmont. I am in the Boulder area and having the car serviced in Denver just isn't an option.
If you need a contact at Schomp I was given one by the broker/friend that was making a call for me. I haven't spoken with them directly. Also, I am still dealing with Frontier in Longmont and can give you that contact as well. They have been fair and upfront. I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Like most of us I think we are just waiting to see what's going to fall from the sky.
Appreciate the Schomp info. Too far to drive for me as well. I'm close to Boulder.
They still have quite a few in stock and the only thing I see moving off their lot are the civics. It's been very low pressure, but I just feel like it could be better. It's a little frustrating to see some of the deals in other parts of the country. I just feel like Honda has got to kick in something extra to the dealer or the customer.
Odyssey EXL $24531 (original quote was %24731, but we had a $200 internet coupon the dealer had e-mailed along with the price quote).
Destination $670
VA tax (3%) $768 (I hear the tax is lower if buying before the 15th ea. mo.?)
Dlr Bus. Lic. Tax $30.24
Proc. Fee $399
TTL $12 (We transferred the plates and
reg. from the old car other wise $48)
$26410 OTD
Car already had pinstriping, floor mats, wheel locks and mud guards. No extra charge for those.
Car price 25,800
Total including TTL, dealer fee etc. 28,400
Finance cost extra
Cheapest EX-L with RES so far is $27525 OTD (includes VA tax, 800'ish, title and 2yrs tags 85 ish, and $100 processing fee).
Cheapest EX-L with NAV and RES is $29,670 OTD, including the fees listed above.
These quotes are from different dealers that have an abundance of these specific 2008 models left, and just need to move them.
Went and saw them last night; I want the one with RES and NAVI, but my wife doesn't think the extra $2150 is worth it.
We will be buying one tonight or tomorrow morning. The dealers in VA are all at least a grand more than this, even when I show them my quotes.
Price in Oklahoma is nothing close to that. The best quote I got via internet for EXL RES is $28,000 OTD excluding TTL. For EXL is $26,600 OTD excluding TTL.
I'd jump on your deal if it's in my state. I didn't know EXL RES can go that low. Keep us posted once you pull the trigger. Good Luck!!
I just called the salesman back, and he has two EX-L w/RES and NAVI left, both with crossbars and mudflaps (the 29670 priced ones had neither) he that he offered me for 30,300. I asked if he could remove those items to get to the earlier 29670 price. He put me on hold for a couple of minutes, and then said his manager would not do that, and the price was as low as he could go.
Still plan to buy tonight, but it will most likely be the Odyssey EX-L w/RES from the other MD dealership for 27525 OTD.
And Alexva, email or PM me directly, because the salesman I have been dealing with specifically asked that I did not post him or his dealership on the web. He never said anything about the price, which is why I posted the 2008 EX-L w/RES OTD price of $27525. It seems like the best I have seen yet, and since the color selection and availability will shrink, I am planning to bite tonight to get the color my wife really wants (Baltic Blue), rather than maybe saving a few hundred dollars more later but getting whatever color is left later. It is a gamble, though, as the prices I was getting from 4 weeks ago to now have dropped by several thousand dollars. But overall, I think I will be happy getting a Honda for well over 20% off the high MSRP sticker, and getting the color my wife likes.
overall, could have done a bit better (~couple of hundred), but bought from dealer closest to home, thought that made up for the difference.
suggestion - check the online inventory for the dealers you are most interested in. when i checked, most had plenty of 08 odys. they want to move them. if you want an ex, you will get a LOT sweeter deal.
best to all.
Overall, a good deal I think.
I'm new to this forum and haven't figured out how to pm or email. I'm very interested in purchasing an ex-l with res in MD. Can you please pm or email me the dealership and salesperson that gave you the OTD price of $27,525? Thanks so much in advance.
- I got 4 internet quotes (3 weeks back) - first off without any negotiation ranging from 32 flat to 33,200 - so 33,600 is in the range. Problem is there were not very many dealers who had Touring models -- so if you can find the color combo you like 32 to 33 is par for the forum.
Thanks
I have quotes for 35K on touring w/o Pax in Ohio, with AHFC Fiance (without Tax / Title). Do you guys think it is a good price?
Thanks
The best I am getting so far is $33,385 (cash price, no financing, add $2500 w/ 2.9% honda financing). I saw people getting it for $31,600 and I am no where near that. Not many are left in inventory (at least in this area), so I am hoping to get a good deal, soon!
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Based on what I have read, dealers are good about quoting lower prices via email, but when you get to the dealer to actually do the transaction, the actual price of the deal is higher because of adds or other fees not in the email quote.
In the emails I have so far, it's been impossible to nail down the exact OTD price. The salesman are resistant to actually committing to an OTD price over email.
I am actually considering taking the risk and waiting until after the end of the month, hoping they would be willing to accept a lower offer once the 09's start coming in.
We'll see. I'll keep everyone here posted. Thanks!
25,999 (including destination of 635.00)
1299.95 - 5% tax
132.50 - title, license, etc
OTD - 27,431.45
Just picked up a 2008 EX-L with RES and NAV for 31,000 OTD in Dallas.
It was 28,900 + TTL.
What do you folks think? could I have gotten a better price?
Did not try to haggle too much.
Thanks.
I am getting EX-L R&N @ 28700 w/o TTL & TAX
is it a good deal?
$28,700 is great deal. It is just $200 above dealer's true cost (invoice - $3500 - 3% of holdback). When you show up with a check, you might be able to close the deal 100-200 lower. Just make sure that this price includes destination and they don't ring up your bill too much with accessories.
Ok... did not read your post properly. I think it is for both Nav and RES. - 28,700 is excellent. I think they will add a bit for the dealer options.
Your total price including options & TTL should be well below 32,000.
that is what we did pay in the end.
Good Luck.
I emailed two dealerships the past two days and here is the offer:
EXL-RES: $27,099 plus tax and tags
I also had another offer for $27,226 but just got the $27,099 offer this evening.
Tried to get them down to $26,800 but no luck. What do you think? I'll probably pull the trigger on this tomorrow, as they have the color we like.
I spoke to one dealer who gave me som interesting information.
He said the invoice for an EX-L with RES is $31,457 and that Honda is providing $5500 in cash to dealers. So he is selling the EX-L with RES for $25,957. Unfortunately they are the less popular colors and the ones he has left have almost $1000 in dealer add ons (luggage cross bars, wind deflector, etc.)
I have gotten two quotes right at $26,411. That seems to be the best price.
Has Honda ever gone this deep on Odysseys? Have the ever gone deeper?
I have a Pilot going off lease in December so I don't really need something until then.... but are we at about as good as we can get right now?
Carman? anyone?
Dealer(Stevens Creek) also sold me re-fundable extended warranty(7yr / 80 K Miles) for 1200 bucks.
Had also quote from them for touring no pax for 33.1 K. But when I reached there they had only couple of colors which I am was interested.
I am from twin cities too :-)
Do you mind share with me the dealer name who gave you this quote? It's a very good deal. Congrat!
Good luck with your decision!
