has 08 EXL Baltic Blue stock 80519
There are a bunch of 2008 new Odyssey listed. At least I saw Paragon has a blue EXL there and Manchester Honda has a bunch of blue, light and dark.

I just did a locate for 2008 Odyssey EX in NY, NJ and CT. Here is what I found:
DEALMAKER HONDA OF POTSDAM RL3848EW KA BL/GR
DEALMAKER HONDA OF POTSDAM RL3848EW KA GX/OL
MILLER HONDA RL3848EW KA RE/IV
EXECUTIVE HONDA RL3848EW KA RE/IV
DEALMAKER HONDA OF POTSDAM RL3848EW KA RE/IV
LIA HONDA RL3848EW KA WH/IV
There are about 15 - 20 million people in the NY, NJ, CT area and only six Odyssey EX's to choose from. Good luck getting a good price.
Now a days, almost all dealers post their invetory on their website.
See if they will toss in like floor mats, mud guards, etc. Being used and such, and in an accident, they have gone down as much as they are going to. (can't see the original post in terms of mileage, numbers right now.)
See what they say. If they give you the extended warranty for a good price, maybe "take it and run" if you know what I mean.

Edmunds lists the incentive still but says it can no longer be combined with 1.9-3.9 financing. This doesn't make sense though with recent reports (after Nov. 3) that some people are still getting both.
It does not apply to the 2009 models, which is why, out the door with taxes etc, the difference between them can run between 3500 to 4000.
Special financing is valid until 01/05/2009 on all of 08 Odyssey's. Check honda.com for this information.
Any one with credit score of 710+ can qualify for 1.9% for 36 months or 3.9% for 60 months.
Don't know credit score cut off for getting 1.9% for 24 months or 3.9% for 37 months.
Bottomline - Dealer incentive of $3500 good until end of 08 combined with special interest that is good until 01/05/09 for all of 08 Odysseys
For example, with 25500 sale price, assuming incentive of 3500, a destination charge of 670, a holdback of 2% MSRP 645 , give a starting invoice price if 28975.
28975+670-645-3500=25500
Assuming that they are making atleast 3% profit
Dealer Invoice =28975/1.03=28131, atkeast a $1000 away from Edmunds invoice price of 29166 - Is there an additional set of component that helps dealers adjust their prices?
The "component that helps dealers adjust their prices" is the marketplace.
This Saturday we pick up our new 2008 EX-L. Will divulge the details of the deal then, but I can tell you we're in CA with 8% sales tax. So that's a whopping $2100 of our OTD price. And good thing we bought now because of CA's estimated $28b deficit, I'm betting our taxes go higher.

I know. I was trying to make a point. Who cares what his(her) OTD price is without know what the selling price is (including destination) and any dealer doc fee's.
Plus, once three more members make a post in this discussion, it will disappear up the line, anyway...
So... let's stick to answers and comments... and leave the pointing to rude people (as my mother used to say).
Thanks!

That was a 2k package. So really, the price on the vehicle is 14,500.
We were comfortable with the drive on it, and the warranty ensures they will pay for any issues.
We're not planning on owning it for more than 3-4 years maximum at this point. Just need to get through 2011 when my wife completes her Doctorate Program and she is back to working full time.
Additionally, we were involved ina double accident a few years ago. Our 2 Hondas (2000 Accord, and 2001 Civic) were both totalled. They COMPLETELY saved the lives of us and our 2 kids!! I trust a used-fully repaired Honda over ANYTHING else on the road!
$26,000
I came back the next day and the 2 extra headphones were off the table. Conveniently "forgotten." After about a half hour of waiting, the salesmen comes back with a young twenty-something manager. He sits down at the table with me and says, "Meet me half way. I pay for one headphone, you pay one at cost. $64." I said, "the salesmen already said two."
"Well, I understand that, but I can barely give you the car as it is. You can go across the street and buy an 07 used one close to this price."
I said, "Then the used ones aren't that good of a deal."
"This price is my best price."
"I understand," I said. "But I don't think I'm going to budge on this. I'm nervous as it is. If one of the big three goes under I think there's going to be some fire sales in the next few months and I'll be kicking myself."
"Won't happen. Prices won't drop. Look what happened when Daewoo went under? Cars sold for the same prices but without a warranty."
I didn't say anything because I don't know anything about Daewoo.
""You're already 4k under what I should be selling this car for," said the manager. "I must stick with this price."
Out of the corner of my eye I saw the salesmen wince a little at this. The salesmen was much older than the manager and alot smoother and I sort of half wondered if they were both salesmen running a little game but I don't know.
I can't believe what I did. I had no hard feelings but I said to them, "It's the principal." And I walked off the lot over 64 bucks.
They didn't try and stop me and they haven't called back so the good part is, I think I found the rock bottom absolute price for an 08 Honda with res and nav. Bad part is, we're still driving a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan and kids and wife are about to lynch me.
I am looking for a 2008 Odyssey EXL with or With RES or Nav. NJ/NY/PA :lemon:
Color. Bali Blue Pearl, Ocean Mist Metallic, or Sterling Gray Metallic.
Most import is the Interior Color "Gray"
Any dealer suggestion?
Potamkin Honda in NY and Faulkner Honda in PA
Both had a few listed on their website, but I don't know how "Good" these dealers are.
Potamkin Honda Inventory Listing
Faulkner Honda Inventory Listing
I think the slate green also has a 'dark' interior, though not sure if its gray or olive.
The 'ivory' looks more like tan.
Were you able to get the 3.9% financing as part of your package?
Two invaluable sources of info I used in the negotiating process was this website, and Real Car Tips:

It features real world pricing and easy to understand/compare. You should get a sense of what's really being negotiated. I'll post my buy on the site this weekend, as well as here. I hope others will post their buys on Real Car Tips too.

I live in Central Illinois and the my local dealer quoted me $26,400. A few calls and emails to various dealers in the Chicago and St. Louis Area got things moving in the right direction. I was getting quotes for both the EX and EX-L. The trend I detected was linked to how many of each model was on a dealer's inventory. When they only have a few the quote was not that good.
For the EX model I found a dealer in St. Louis that gave an initialquote of $22,999 and one near Chicago that initially quoted $22,995. Not a bad starting point.
For the EX-L model I found a dealer in Lisle, IL that had over 30 models listed on their inventory. Their initial email quote was $25,895. After some negotiations I closed with this dealer for the and EX-L for $25,200.
The $25,200 includes destination charges. I'll have to pay taxes, license, and some doc fees, but not a bad deal. The kicker is they will also finance the deal at 3.9% for 60 months.
Good luck and look for those dealers that have a good supply of the models you are interested in.
On Nov. 8 we bought a 2008 Baltic Blue Odyssey EX-L from Hansel Honda in Petaluma, CA. Due to our work schedules and the DVD installation, we decided to pick it up this Saturday. Here's the breakdown:
$32,210 MSRP
$25,988 purchase price, including destination and dealer installed 10” DVD system.
$55 docu fee
$272 license, reg, transfer, tire fees
$2083 tax (8.0% OUCH!)
-----
$28,398 OTD
Note: To complete the deal at $25,988 I negotiated a dealer-installed aftermarket drop-down 10.0" DVD system. So, looked at another way we ran the dealer's numbers and the purchase price on the EX-L straight out was $25,300. This is just a hair above the $25,200 quoted above. (I will also post this info on the Real Car Tips website).
Baltic Blue seems pretty scarce in EX-L now (at least in northern CA and even harder to find in with RES (none in northern CA according to checks by a few local dealers). Out of 30 2008's of various models on Hansel’s lot, this was the only dark blue one. Papagoph makes the interesting observation about amount of 2008’s on a dealer’s lot factoring into more favorable pricing. It makes sense that a dealer would do this and I agree. Is a coincidence our buys are so close? Maybe, maybe not.
FYI – For a comparison, we first drove a 2009 Sienna LE. It was a joy to drive and frankly I liked it better than the Odyssey. It seemed a bit more refined overall. The Odyssey was noisier inside, especially rows 2&3. However, as this was to replace my wife's car, we agreed this would be her call to make. She liked the Odyssey's body lines, interior, and a few other things better than the Sienna. In the end, I think both the Odyssey and Sienna are winners, so I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Thank you all for your posts in this forum and good luck with your Odyssey purchase.
MSRP = 33810
Holdback = 2% of MSRP = 676.20
Destination = 670
Invoice = 30627
Mkt Support = 3500
Doc Fee = 0
so Invoice - Holdback + destination -mktsupport + doc fee = 27120.8
So if you are giving getting below 27120.08 before TTL, its a 'good' deal. That said, I don't know if others are getting for it. Good Luck

Where did you find this deal? Obviously these guys are willing to sell below invoice and holdback at that price.
