    Did you get that OTD with Honda financial offer (2.9%). Can you tell me the dealer's name since I am in Chicago area and want to buy an Odyssey LX before this offer expired. Thank you very much!
  • bigdadi118bigdadi118 Member Posts: 1,207
    Some said that the manufacturer to dealer incentive was passed from the delaer to you, so the buyer has to pay tax for that. I know it is gray area and loophole.

    Just another example. When you lease, there is first month payment so and so dollar amount. One dealer charged me the 5% tax on that. After that I checked my Honda Finance account and found that dealer only sent in first month payment WITHOUT 5% TAX. It is small amount 10.00 - 20.00 but really no standard.

    if you regret the extended warranty I think you can cancel it asap.

    We are planning to make a purchase today for the EX-L. I have received several internet quotes. We took the lowest one ($24,666) to a dealership yesterday who said via email that he would match it. Of course once we get there, the EX-L that they have has $795 worth of options that I didn't ask for. I have another quote from a dealer for $25K that has no additional options. Is the $25K a good price for the EX-L with no additional options? In addition we would pay freight ($670), taxes (est. $1500), proc. fee ($100) and tags (est. $290). So, I guess the OTD price would be about $27,560. Should I see if the dealer who quoted $25K would consider the $24,666 or just take the $25K from the dealer that made the initial offer?
  • trishaetrishae Member Posts: 8
    So you're looking at 25,670, right? I think it's a good deal. We got our EX-L for 25,999 (inc destination) and it was the lowest in the tri-state area. They also threw in splash guards and oil changes. Dealers around here just weren't budging below 26,500.
  • 4my2boys4my2boys Member Posts: 7
    For $25,999, did that include taxes, tags, freight, etc. or was that just the price of the vehicle? For me, $25K does not inlude the freight, taxes, etc..
  • trishaetrishae Member Posts: 8
    Here's what we paid. We got 2 oil changes and splash guards thrown in, too.

    25,999 (including destination of 635.00)
    1299.95 - 5% tax
    132.50 - title, license, etc

    OTD - 27,431.45

    I'm in the northern panhandle of WV, so I'm very close to Pittsburgh, PA and also on the Ohio border. This was the cheapest price within 50 miles of my house. Most dealers were quoting me 26,500 and I haggled with 3 of them. The 25,999 came as an internet quote of 26,198 and we worked our way down from there. Also, dealers with a lot more stock on their lot than the one I went with weren't willing to deal much at all! I was really surprised.

    Guys..
    Let me thank you all for making my life easier...

    I bought an EX-L for $25,920.45 OTD in VA.... Yesterday and I LOVE it...

    TMI..

    Options I got with this is Roof Racks, and Mud Flals. BUT NO WHEEL LOCKS

    The best part of the Vehicle which we do not know until after we paid for it is that it has a Rear View Camera which get activated in the Rear View Mirror... .

    This is what I did I got only one Quote from a MD Dealer through email for @ $25, 920 OTD. But I am about to go MD dealer and stopped at one of the Dealers in VA with my Buyers order from the MD Dealer . After 30 Mins of all whining from the Manger we Shook Hands.

    Here is the Break Down...

    $24,678

    Tax $782

    Processing $385

    Title and TAgs $100

    I got an additional Warranty for 7yr/75,000miles for $1200
  • trishaetrishae Member Posts: 8
    Congratulations on a GREAT deal!!! :)
  • pilot04pilot04 Member Posts: 23
    That is a great deal that you got there. $24,678 with destination included is excellent.
  • bigdadi118bigdadi118 Member Posts: 1,207
    The processing fee $385 is much higher than MD's $100 - $150

    I would give biz to that MD dealer since they are more honest to quote/ pricing and should not move the deal from them.
  • maz35123maz35123 Member Posts: 3
    Did you try to negotiate the warranty we got our warranty 6 yrs 75,000 miles for 900 they wanted 1495 for it at 1st. good luck
  • chicagoraychicagoray Member Posts: 3
    No I did not get the financing offer. It is either 3500 rebate or special financing, you can not have both.BTW if you choose the 3500 rebate, you also need to pay tax for the rebate, it is 3500*8%. The dealer is Honda on Grand in Elmhurst. I went there because they quoted me in email, other dealers only called and said they could also do around the same price, so I think you pretty much can get around this price everywhere, perhaps even lower.

    I choose to apply for a new plate because my old sticker is going to expire, transfer is 80 plus 78 for new sticker. The break down is:
    19975 - 1700 + tax + 150 doc fee + 143 new plate and sticker fee = 20332 OTD
  • newfie2newfie2 Member Posts: 2
    We purchased it from Richfield Bloomington Honda but Brookdale Honda was the first one to give us that price. I did not like the dealerships on the east side of the metro - they seemed a little slimy (wanting my drivers license even though I told them I was paying cash and also wanted me to sign a 'contract' saying I would buy it right then and there). If you have any questions let me know. Good luck!
  • myfirstodysseymyfirstodyssey Member Posts: 14
    I agree I wanted the same thing as MD dealers are very honest but I am 60 m iles away from them,.

    Also VA Dealers Reduced the Price of the vehicle to add their Processing fee... :blush:

    Thanks for your input
  • alexvaalexva Member Posts: 5
    Yesterday I purchased an 08 Odyssey EX-L with RES in black for an OTD price of $28, 061.34 in Fredericksburg, VA. The vehicle price was $26,762, including 814 freight, wheel locks, mud flaps and a rear cargo mat. Add in $814.83 sales tax, $10 online fee, $48.75 tags and $26.76 county tax.

    Anyone in Northern VA or MD email me if interested in the dealer or other quotes I received.

    Guys any one got any good quotes from dealers in San Diego. The Best k got was from Poway for $29400 but did not like any of the colors they have, they said they could get me the color i wanted from an other dealer for $29950.

    The Colors that they have are Black,While,Light Blue, Cream Silver.

    The other dealers are at around $29,950.

    IF you guys have a better deal from San Diego delears please let me know the dealer name and sales man name.

    DCH Honda in Lemon Grove has some worst Sales people, they have plenty in stock and looks like no one i willing to buy from them because of the attitude they have.
  • chum94555chum94555 Member Posts: 2
    I am not sure if you made your purchase or still in the market but I too am looking at 2008 Odyssey EX cloth interior and with Navi.. and I am in east bay area and can be reached also via chum94555@yahoo.com
  • bao1bao1 Member Posts: 55
    Considering that we are set on the Nimbus Grey color, we went ahead and pulled the trigger this past weekend.

    Continental Honda tracked down a Nimbus Grey EX-L RES. The OTC price was the price we agreed to and with no surprise or tacked on fees. The internet sales person was very upfront and didn't try any tricks. The FI person got us in and out very quickly and with absolutely no push for the warranty or paint protection program.
    Since they couldn't beat our rate, we financed it through our bank.

    Price with delivery charges, 26582.

    OTC price with tax, new plates and $150 doc fee comes out to about 29,108.

    The only surprise was that the car came with free splash guards and wheels locks because the dealer with whom they did the dealer trade with already put them on.
  • sginlasginla Member Posts: 8
    Which colors are you considering? I bought mine EXL R&N couple of weeks ago and the only dealer in L.A. area that had Nimbus gray was Riverside Honda. I had to make compromise and settle with Silver as it was my second choice. The colors you mentioned are pretty much what's left for R&N config.
  • southernhivesouthernhive Member Posts: 15
    Leaving tomorrow to get a EX-L for 26866.10 confirmed otd in silver/gray leather. I spoke with the sales mangager about using my Credit Card for $20000 and cash for the balace of the amout, but they will only allow me to put 5000 on CC. They said is was policy, to which I said, then break the policy, but they would not budge.

    Anyone else run into this?
  • bigdadi118bigdadi118 Member Posts: 1,207
    Consumer wants to get more charge to CC due to frequent flyer mileage or get points to redeem gifts. Dealer wants to be less possible due to they won't see the money in 30 days and CC company charges % fee to merchant. My wife was allowed only $3.5K to be charged to her CC. It seems generous for $5.0K
  • pilot04pilot04 Member Posts: 23
    Can you break out the OTD price for your EXL? And which state is the dealership in?
  • coasttocoastcoasttocoast Member Posts: 2
    We bought a 2008 EX in northern VA last week for $23.5K OTD and planned to put $10K on our CC. However, the dealer only allowed us to pay $2.5K with our CC. We wrote a check for the rest of our down payment and financed the remainder through Honda since Honda agreed to match the rate offered by our bank.

    We were surprised by the CC limit but can understand why the dealer doesn't want the CC fee cutting into their profit.

    Good deals are harder to come by in Denver Boulder Area. Have 6 area dealerships giving me quotes and best so far is $27950 plus tax (8.3% ). One dealership has pulled out saying they will not go lower.

    I'm looking to get $3500 under invoice ($30,612) or ~$27,100 for the EX-L with RES.

    Seeing much better deals on this forum. Perhaps I should buy in MD. Anyone know what it would cost to ship from MD to Colorado? :)
  • ilu333ilu333 Member Posts: 18
    Hi...can you please let me know who you dealt with? I emailed them for price quote & the OTD price the quoted me was almost $33K. Thanks so much!
  • phatlipboardzphatlipboardz Member Posts: 30
    I have shipped my personal cars from Boulder to Maryland and then back to Boulder when I moved. You're looking at about $1,000 and this isn't a covered carrier. Not cheap. Thought about the same thing for about a hot minute.

    Looks like we are going to have to eat a higher payment. Seems silly since many folks here want AWD.
  • 4my2boys4my2boys Member Posts: 7
    We got our Odssey tonight. $27481 OTD. The price includes cross bars and wheel locks. We got pulled into the warranty which I'm wondering if we need. The warranty was an additional $1550 (7 years/100,000). I had not researched the warranty as I had my mind made up that we would not get it. So, is the warranty worth it, is that a good price???

    Thanks for the help of this forum. I feel better about our purchase - the warranty.
  • pacarspacars Member Posts: 3
    This was a different but positive buying experience. I called the dealership Friday evening. After shopping several dealers, he gave me the best offer. I called him back Saturday morning to accept the offer and put down a deposit on my credit card (which he never even processed).

    Picked up the van tonight...a very pleasant experience. Here are the numbers

    2008 Odyssey EXL-RES

    Sale Price: $27,000
    PA Tax: $1620
    Prep Fee: $99
    Tags: $145
    OTD: $28,864

    No surprises (even free wheel locks) and nice 20%+ off MSRP. Probably could've done $500 better in October, but we got the color we wanted, so I'm pleased. Well worth the 2.5 hour drive!
  • mkielmmkielm Member Posts: 38
    CANCEL that warranty within 60 days (if you financed it they may just pay down your loan with the cancel proceeds). You can get a 7 years/100,000 ($0 deductible) Honda Care Warranty for $1020 if you really think you need it. If you bought a third party warranty CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL.

    https://www.myhondawarranty.com/

    Check out this forum on carspace: Honda Extended Warranties Pricing and Info

    You will see an interesting article about a small RI Honda dealership that is taking on HONDA USA for the right to continue to service savy customers over the internet who want to pay cost for these contracts instead of half again or double cost - what the local dealers charge. I was offered a 7yr/80k $100 deductible from my dealer for $1495 - when I told him I might buy it from him if he matched the $725 no-deductible offer I found on the internet all he could muster was"I thought Honda shut those people down?" GREED

    For anyone considering an extended warranty - strike a good deal price wise on your Odyssey, then tell them you will walk unless they sell you the Honda Care warranty at cost/match the pricing on the internet (or just buy from that great little dealership in RI over the internet - you can do so with under 6000 miles on the odometer (no, I don't own the dealership or work for them - just impressed that they are taking on the big boy (after employees of Honda encouraged them to get into the internet business Honda is now trying to shutdown via federal court))).

    My long two cents. You can probably tell I am not too impressed with dealership behavior in the "finance" room.
  • tigervastigervas Member Posts: 2
    Ok guys i made the deal last night as i had to get the Van. The Ball Honda dealer in national City got me the deal for 29400(including destination and pro pack). the OTD after taxes and fees was $32000. The ystill have hte nibus gray and slate green with Olive interiors.

    Please talk to the internet sales manager before going (Paul Najor). They promised me $29300 and when i went there they started saying it did not include desination and propack. I said the price that i was quoted was including every thing. I told them i have an other dealer offering me the same price and if i am not going to get the deal i am going to walk and i said i was willing to pay $29400(THe other dealers who offered me $29300 do not have the colors i need so i was willing to pay a $100 more). If you want it for $29300 you can try Fueller Honda in Chula Vista. Do not go to DCH , mission valley, Pacific Honda or Tipton these dealers are not willing to sell it below $30000)
  • snowywinsnowywin Member Posts: 2
    Thanks a lot for the info! :shades:

    I am shooting for an EX-L. I contacted a few dealers in metro area. So far the best beat I got is $25300 before tax + etc. I think it is a solid deal. How do you think? I might pull the trigger sometime this week.
  • dol007dol007 Member Posts: 21
    If your price already include destination charge then $25,300 is an excellent price for EXL in my opinion.
  • samani83samani83 Member Posts: 1
    I am pulling the trigger tomorrow and will make up my mind tonight on whether I want an EXL or EXL - RES. I have received many quotes and have it norrowed down to one dealership, Grand Honda in Elmhurst, IL, who is offering the best rates in the area.

    Price for EXL

    Base Price - 24,675 (Including Destination)
    + TT and all the other crap (I'm in Chicago so I will have to pay the insane 9% tax on the car price as well as the 3500 incentive.)

    OTD PRICE - 28,320.04

    Price for EXL - RES

    Base Price - 26,475 (Including Destination)
    + TT and all the other crap (I'm in Chicago so I will have to pay the insane 9% tax on the car price as well as the 3500 incentive.)

    OTD PRICE - 30,286.54

    I asked if any additional accessories will be thrown in and the answer was no since this is the absolute low they can go for the price.

    Tell me what you guys think. Any suggestions/tips will be helpful.
  • zgeistzgeist Member Posts: 6
    I don't understand - why would *you* have to pay the incentive?

    And since I'm a newb on these forums, what does OTD mean?

    Thanks.
  • bigdadi118bigdadi118 Member Posts: 1,207
    OTD = Out-The-Door

    Dealers claim they passed the manufacturer to dealer incentive to buyer, so buyer pays the tax re this. I believe it is gray area that some dealers charge, while others won't.
  • sginlasginla Member Posts: 8
    I doubt if dealer is just trying to pocket the it as profit but call it a sales tax on incentive. One way to know that is in the final purchase contract, they mention the sales tax collected. Calculate and see that sales tax amount is on price or price+$3500.

    Can someone confirm this who has bought and paid the sales tax on $3500 recently?
  • phatlipboardzphatlipboardz Member Posts: 30
    I am getting ready to purchase and the quote I received was the final price (minus tax because they were unsure at the time of my tax rate) and I specifically asked if the incentive was taxed. The response was "no." I then asked the questions to make sure that the incentive isn't considered as something like money down. The response again was no. They said if I walked into the dealership with an amount of the final price plus tax on that final price, then I am good. This is in Colorado.
  • vahondaloversvahondalovers Member Posts: 3
    can you tell me the dealer name. I want to buy the same van. Did you think you should have done it better?
  • mss1144mss1144 Member Posts: 17
    I purchased 2008 at 33600 + tax. For that price they gave me mud flaps and window etching. (Nimbus grey without pax) Had 2006 with pax and hated the tires. Ride w/o pax is much better.
  • co_copco_cop Member Posts: 17
    FYI; In Colorado, CRS 42-3-107(I)(a)(III) "For the purposes of this section, "actual purchase price" means the gross selling price, including all property traded to the seller in exchange for credit toward the purchase of a vehicle"

    In other words, the price you and the dealer agree on minus the trade (If any) is the amount taxable and thus becomes the 'actual purchase price'.

    Which dealer in Colorado?
  • jianqjianq Member Posts: 2
    Hi, I am in Boulder area and new to this group.

    Could you tell me the quote you got for EXL or EXL-RES and which dealership you are going to buy? It would be great. I have been very frustrated to get the popular price which those people got in other state, e.g EXL for $25,3000 and EXL-RES for $26,600.

    My best quote of EXL-RES is $28,092, plus tax only from Fisher Honda. I haven't sit down to dig out what else I have to pay. I am very dispointed by Burt-Kuni Honda. I only got a phone call from "Go Honda" which they are willing to give the price with the invoice price-$31,282 (including destination charge) minus $3,500, plus the dealer handling fee ($499).

    There are still a lot of 2008 Odyssey on the lot, I have no idea why the Colorado dealers still want to sell the vans with higher price than other state.

    Thanks!
