Thanks for your response. The OTD price includes the taxes and fees. Should I still try to offer 500 less?
thx- bmk
I don't think I need it anymore since I just bought the EXL DVD/Nav few days ago with no trade in OTD for ~$31880 (including wheel locks and all fees). I'm having a great time now with my family and this brand new cool Odyssey. Very satisfied!
Thanks!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance
The salesperson is straightforward, honesty, thoughtful, etc. I've never met such a sweet salesperson in my life. No games/ no gimmicks.
Thanks!
I believe I did get a quote from Liberty Mutual before. Nothing they could do any better for my rates so far. Sure! I would like to contact her and see if she could help lower my home and auto insurance.

Thanks!
I was going back and forth between EX, EX-L RES and EX-L RES/NAV. Finally went with the EX-L RES/NAV because I plan on keeping the car for 10 years!
$33K on the road (including destination $670, processing fee $100, tax and tags).
I have my own business so customer service, honesty, and professionalism are very important to me. Received top notch service. The price happened to be the best also which worked out great.
Highly recommend contacting Herson's Honda (Rockville, Maryland) internet department for the best quote. Then when you go to the dealership, ask for the salesperson with the desk immediately to your right when you first enter (he's been at the first desk the past 9 years for good reason). Tell him Ocean Mist sent you!
They really helped me get the color I wanted (Ocean Mist).
The OTD price is for VA residents (only 3% taxes). So, if you're GA residents, then it'll definitely highly than that price. If interested, I could still forward you the price quotes, give me your email instead. Thanks!
I've been dealing with the Palo Alto folks. I assume your $27,988 is without DVD and without NAV, right?
The finance guy quoted me a "discount" price for a 6-year HondaCare EW for $1500+. I declined. Instead I searched and found a Honda dealership on the web selling a 8-year, 120K HondaCare EW for $1200. I bought it. Waiting on the paperwork to arrive via the post.
Thanks to all in this forum posting their purchasing experiences. I probably saved me hundreds (maybe thousands) of $s.
I live in VA and I'm also looking at the EX-L w/ RES/NAV, could you email the quotes and the dealership info, including the salesperson to susanrisa at earthlink dot net. Thank you in advance, this forum is so helpful. I hope to have my new Odyssey this week. Congratulations on yours.
I just emailed you the info. Please let me know after you got it. If not, you might need to check your junk mail. Thanks!
Good Luck! :P

2009 Honda Odyssey EX
MSRP-$30,125
Invoice-$27,525
Price they are offering-$24,961
Tax (6%)-$1497.22
Plate Fees-$201
=$26,659
(Possible trade in 2000 Dodge Caravan) $2,475
Total with Trade in for the Fair Condition/ Price for the Excellent Condition=$24,234/23,984
Total with No Trade in =$26,659
2009 Honda Pilot EX 4wd.
MSRP-$32,765
Invoice-$30,285
Price they are offering-$28,347
Tax (6%)- $1702.44
Plate Fees-$201
=$30,250.44
(Possible Trade in 2000 Dodge Caravan)- about $2,475
'Total Trade in for Fair Condition/ Price for Excellent Condition- $27,825/27,575
Total with no trade in-$30,250
So my questions are
1) Do you think these are good deals, or can we do better? If they are, we are hoping to buy one of these next week.
2)Which do you think is the better deal and why?
3)Do you think that $ 2,625 is a fair price for a 2000 Dodge Caravan with about 78,000 miles in Excellent condition, or a $2,475 is a fair price for Fair condition? These are from Kelly Blue Book, not from the dealership, so they could be better. Do you think these prices are fair, or should we try to sell ourselves?
4) What do you think the 2000 Dodge Caravan is worth?
Thanks.
-Haha, today is my birthday too
Here's the breakdown :
Base Price - $28,581
Doc Fees - $150
State Fees - $16.25
7% IN Tax - $2000.67
I will take 2009 Honda Pilot EX 4wd rather than the Ody because I drove both.
I traded-in 07 Ody for 08 Pilot. The Pilot is quieter, feel more solid, 4WD and better ground clearance.
I just bought an EX-L with RES/DVD in MD for ~$33k OTD at Herson's Honda. I saw 2 other people buying odyssey right in front of me (atleast one of them was EX-L RES/DVD) and another couple who were looking at it. Overall, I spent about 3 hours at the dealer (thankfully not negotiating though, had agreed to the price on the internet). The first van we drove had very loose breaks and I felt vibrations in the steering when hitting the breaks hard. So, they had to get another one from their offsite storage facility. I would recommend Herson's. The sales agent was Rob Son.
I got quotes from lots of dealers. It seems MD dealers are atleast $1k less than most of the VA dealers. I had gotten quotes from about 18 dealers near the DC metro area. The lower quotes were from hersons, jimcoleman, sports, northwest, hagerstown, criswell and shockley. They were all within a few hundred bucks. So, people who are looking for this trim may concentrate on these dealers.
And also do you know how much it would cos for additional warranty in case you enquired about it.
Thank you in advance.
I primarily via email spoke to all of the Honda dealers in and around Indy (only visited a couple of them with my wife to compare colors) and only two of them (HondaWest and TerryLee) were really interested in trying to workout a deal with me. However, at the end of the day no one really came even close to TerryLee's pricing. I think this is mostly due to them being a brand new dealer and wanting to just move vehicles and earn a good reputation. I'll probably give them a year or so before they become unreasonable like Penske (who's lowest offer was close to twelve hundred dollars over what I actually paid).
Like all dealers, this one also tried to sell me the HondaCare warranty (I think it was ~$1800) and a few extras services, but I wasn't interested. I bought warranties with all of my previous American cars and they generally turned out be a good investment. However, that's the reason for buying a Honda - it's reliability. So I passed on the warranty.
If you're really interested in working out a deal, I don't think you'll find a better dealer at this point in time than TerryLee in Avon.
Wish you all the best in your search!
Vehicle Cost: $24,500
Doc Fee: $395
Tags, etc: $527.69
Sales Tax: $2033.50
Total OTD: $27456.19
Price included window tint and dealer's "value package" (door edge guards, wheel well moldings, pinstripe, nitrogen, trunk tray, mudguards).
We had a trade, so our actual OTD was less due to sales tax savings. We added Honda Care warranty. Paid $100 more than internet pricing. If I get ambitious, I will cancel and re-buy to save the money. Dealer originally offered 3rd party warranty and said they only sell Honda Care if people ask for it. His original quote on the Honda Care warranty, before he know that I knew the internet pricing, was $1,400 more than what I paid.
Overall dealer experience was good - the kept to the price quoted. We were far apart on trade, but I got an acceptable price after some negotiating work.
Anyone had more success than I have?
Once again Thank you.
Can I ask how much you paid for that Honda Care warranty? What's included?
Your deal (difference to invoice price) sounded a lot better than the quote I got from local dealer in my area...
Costs as follows
$24,000 base
$670 destination
$200 pre inspection (It was $395 and although I tried to get rid of it all together, the sales guy managed to split it)
+ taxes ($2,145 since it is registered in Suffolk co) and DMV/registration fees ($250)
I'd never heard about the pre inspection charge, and strongly suspect it is a scam of some sort, but I'd had enough. I'd gotten better pricing but in less convenient locations.
Honda of Freehold quoted $23,161 -- which someone else had posted on this forum
Tarrytown Honda $24,000 + $670 destination fees etc
Bayridge Honda was slightly higher
Wanted to share this with anyone else who had been following the posts. Good luck!
just get EX with no add on through internet for 24100
Dealer located in Orange county, southern california
the sales rep really nice and pleasant (I can def refer him)
The Finance is open with the cost too
tks
I live in CA which has different sales tax rates. Can you please tell me the price of your EXL + RES before taxes, title, reg., and destination charges?
Thanks,
Greg
Email me to jerfrance at yahoo dot com I just went through this circus and also live in Phoenix AZ. Through lots of diligence and the work of several forums and people, I was able to save $2000+ than the comparable deals offered in Phoenix. I am happy to help as I found myself a little upset that everyone was able to find amazing deals except for us in Arizona.
This is my payback--if anyone else is in the Southwest or California, email me and I'll also get you the information that I gathered. I just received my 09 Odyssey EXL (no NAV/no RES) on Saturday and love it.
24128 (including destination)
180 (wheel locks + mud guards, they were already on the vehicle, so I didn't bother having them removed)
+ tax (9.25%) + license.
This was the best quote I got from 6/7 that sent their quotes to me.
Must also say that I almost made a deal at Dublin Honda - but had a terrible experience with them. In the end, I went elsewhere and got the color/model I wanted cheaper.
I was quoted over $2k for the Honda Warranty so I skipped it, plan to buy online. Any have experience buying over the internet and at what cost?
Overall, the internet sales rep was very patient, and very easy to work with. If any one is interested, ping me and I will give you the details.
My Price 31,774 + tax,lic,fees
Good price? Nearly $6k off MSRP.
/edit spelling
Dealer was Spreen Honda in Loma Linda, CA. Very happy with the transaction. Lowest price we could find in the bay area was $27,790 (or so) so we saved quite a bit of money.
