Bottom line: what does it seem as though the overall price trends are? Should we buy now or wait a couple months in the hope that prices may drop another $1000 to $1500 or so after the 2010s are in stock? We are somewhat flexible in color choice. Also, it is now only 10 days until the end of the month. Could we push for a little better price more towards the end of the month? Thanks for your thoughts.
First, Congrats to you!
Next, just wanna tell you that I don't think you got a great deal for being a VA resident.
I'd this OTD price (included TTL, destination, wheel locks, etc) since May 1, 2009:
2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L $28,580.94
2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L DVD $30,012.45
2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L Navi & DVD $31,980.77 (I ended up bought $100 less) 2009 Honda Odyssey Touring W/O PAX $35,156.93
I even got an email sometime in end of May for $300 less.
Besides, I got a dealer that even offer me:
free lifetime oil changes.
For Landmark Honda, I swear I'll never visit them again in my life due to bad experiences (even reported to American Honda).
Thanks!
Price seems a little high, I think you could do better. Depending where you are in NC- I received approx 9 internet quotes back in April ranging from $29,900 to $33,500 out-the-door! I'm in the Raleigh area and despite a ton of Honda dealers in my area, I purchased from Sanford Honda (approx 1 hour away). See details at message #22155 and 22219. Good luck.
But I ended up bought my minivan at Ourisman Honda at Bethesda, MD.
I think we got a very very good price. Any thoughts?
I need you to clarify the $30,061. Is it the OTD prices included TTL & fees?
The Extended Warranty is supposed to be $1235 for $0 deductible/120K miles/8 yrs on the web. You can still backup your extended warranty program from your dealership.
Sorry, I don't know much about your area. I'm in Northern VA (Fairfax County).
The auto tax here is only 3% for VA residents.
Thanks!
But we wanted to finish deal and if we wait longer color choice may be limited.
Good luck !!
Congratulations on your purchase.
Can you email me the Dealer & the person you dealt with.
Can you let me know the breakdown of the $22500. Appreciate your help.
my email is try_nwspeak at yahoo dot com
Thanks
We dealt with Ivo and Randy at Saint Louis Honda. No trade in.
Thanks to everyone for your relpy!
EX-L $27,041 including base, destination, splashguard, paint sealant, wheellock and cargo tray. (sales tax and plate, doc fee extra)

What would be the best OTD price for 2009 odyssey ex-l with res & nav in Chicago area?
Also, do we get tax refund for all new 2009 cars?
Appreciate your help !
1. 27751 + TTL (8% tax + 168 title-license + 25 + 150 doc fee) + 399 (dealer package. This dealer pack is not optional. I have to take it which I was not interested)
2. 27717 + TTL (8% tax + 168 title-license + 25 + 150 doc fee)
3. 2990 + TTL (8% tax + 168 title-license + 25 + 150 doc fee) + Dest Fee.
Out of the above 3 quotes, quote # 2 had the least OTD price and I went for this one and bought my new car. Thanks guys!.
Can you tell us who/where you get this deal? thx
When he came back he had completely different numbers than he had given previously for BOTH cars. Seems that Ourisman automatocally adds on something callled a Protection Package for which they charge $995. When I said I was not interested in that package, he said that all the cars come with it. When I pushed him further, he said that all the EX-L DVD's have it and that they won't be getting any new ones, but that he could get a EX-L without it. We went back over the numbers again, and got back to the original price he had offered. We went line by line, again, and dollar by dollar, again, to get the OTD price. We agreed down to the penny. I said, OK, please send it to me in an email.
I waited on the line until he sent the email. He tried to get off the phone after he sent it and said I could call him back if I had any questions. I asked him to wait until I could verify that the email had the correct prices. When I opened it up, there wasn't a number in the quote for the EX-L that I recognized. He had gone about $50 lower in the "base" price, but then added on $670 for the destination fee that he PROMISED was already included in the price previously. So overall upped the price by over $620. AND, he added in the $995 protection package! I immediately pointed out his error. And he said, could you hold for a minute? Of course the minute turned to 15 minutes (my whole time with the dealership was over 2 hours) and he came back and said, "Yeahhhhh, ummmmm, my manager said no." Excuse me? "My manager said that because you're not buying the protection package I can't give you that price." I asked to speak to his manager. The manager basically told me that the salesperson had said he told me it didn't include destination charge. I said he was lying, and the manager said he would "talk to him". I asked to speak to the manager's manager, over the whole dealership. That manager basically said that he had worked with this guy for over six months and why would he have a reason to lie? And that he "believed both of us" and that he was "very sorry". So two hours later, I come up with nothing but a a sorry manager.
If you choose to shop at Ourisman, please know that they not only have salespeople who operate based on deception, but that this is condoned at the very highest levels. Make sure you ask about their Protection Package (also known as Appearance Package) and make sure that they have cars actually available *without it* if you don't want it (or don't want to pay for it). If you go in to the dealership, make sure they actually *show* you the car you will get, and that it doesn't have the Protection Package items included, before you start your paperwork and get socked. GET IN WRITING that the destination fee is included when you get your original quote - seems basic, and I was trying to do this, but when the rubber hit the road, they had lied about it. Get in writing the OTD (Out The Door) price in a quote - literally, as soon as they say it to you. Have them itemize every fee, every possible thing that you could be charged, in writing. Don't let them waste your time, lie to you and play with your emotions like they did mine. I hope my experience will help someone out... if you choose to shop at Ourisman, do so at your own risk.
EX-L : $29,150 OTD
includes tax (7% Philadelphia), title, license (registration), destination fee, doc fees, wheel locks, pinstrip, mud flaps
I am going crazy - is this a good price?? I know that by going to Boston or Chicago I could get a better price, but is this good for my area? If I brought a Boston or Chicago quote to a dealer around here, would they laugh at me?
Please give input - need to make decision soon. Thanks!
Fisrtly I won't even spend time on the phone with sales people.
I will mostly back and forth in emails.
Secondly, if they said their cars all have Protection Package, then I will ask them to trade one in from another dealer WITHOUT the protection package since not willing to buy this thing.
After I emailed at least 10 dealers and put all offers in spreadsheet to sort them out, then I will pickup the phone start calling the best offer. I will also keep contacting the 2nd best offer as a lifesaver in case the best one isn't working somewhere before signing the deal.
Sale $24,438 with after mkt dvd 9.5in 2 hd/sets

DMV $354

Total $26709.16
I think you need to deal with all dealerships in emails instead.
I purchased at Ourisman Honda without any hassles.
The salesperson I dealt with was the best salesperson I'd met so far.
The price quotes: you'll need to ask quotes from different dealerships in order to bargain with them (definitely in emails).
The salesperson I dealt with: Mr. Richard Sears (honest, enthusiastic, no gimmick). I won't recommend anyone else besides him.
I asked him for fixed prices (OTD) before I went purchased my new car both in emails and phones.
For protection package:
Without having any pressure, I got it after I purchased the car (half price for overcoated protection) since I wanted my car to look nice and new all the time.
If you need references, ask me and give me your email. I'll forward you all the info.
Thanks!
Can you please me let me know, from where did you get that quote? Can you please forward me the quote at odysseyn0609 at yahoo dot com
I am looking for EX-L with Res.
The following are the lowest quotes from couple of NJ Dealers.
1) $30,656 (On The Road Price)
2) $30,808.33 with wheal locks.
Thanks
Type: Odyssey EX-L with NAV+RES
Local Dealer in KY: 31250 + 500doc fees = $31750
St Louis, MO (will have to drive there and will be an out of state purchase): 30600 + 150doc fees = $30750
Should I go to St Louis and buy from them to save $1000 or will they play tricks and it will not be worth it? I would like to buy from the local dealer as the salesperson is very nice but the dealership is not willing to come down even a little after knowing the quote from St Louis. What are the pros and cons of an out of state purchase?
The cost to go to STL and back would be $150 at the max. maybe less. Local dealership is saying that all offers are off after June 30th.
That includes destination fee. Also had $214 in doc fees.
This was a first shot internet quote. Got quotes from two other local dealers that were comparable. Thought I got lowballed a little on my trade in.
Got 3.9% for 60 months finance.
Also (over)paid for 96 month/120K warranty. Got them to $1880 from original quote of $2500 but couldn't get them below. Even with online discussion.
Possibly a more patient negotiator could have done better, but I was generally satisfied with the overall deal given the other perks from the dealer.
OTD $25,300
Doc Fee $ 587
Title $21
Tax 6%
Base price is at 23400
Has anyone recently bought the above config. in northern CA (San Jose area)? Which dealership did you work with that gave you the best deal?
getting one installed aftermarket for $500 less. Good luck with your deal Sam, for the 28,800 see if they can get it driven up to the them or see if they will compromise $150 on the price if you drive.
to pick up the car- see if they will bite on 28,400
1) Did you get the extended warranty - What is the good price for a 7year/100K miles ext. warranty.
2) Did you get the free oil change/maint.?
If it's not too much trouble, can you forward your $30,180 quote to me ( my email address is boofoo_2003 at yahoo dot com. That will give me a good fire power in negotiation. I will appreciate it. Many Thanx in advance.
