Not sure how the Touring will come in, but good luck!
There are so many thread’s on the internet, and even this forum that deal with all the problems of a first model year car especially the first ones off the production line.
1. I’m just curious as to why you are scrambling to get to the finish line first? I have owned 3Hondas & 3 Acura’s All have served me and my family well over the years. But one lesson I always remember from a article in consumer reports many years ago about being a Guinea pig for a auto maker. When you buy first model year you also get these free features included at no charge:
2. Untested new technology, design flaws, recalls ect and you still pay full price to be a test pilot.
Wouldn’t you rather wait until the “bugs” are all worked out. And let the headaches be someone else to have?
Especially when a car first comes out it is months before most bugs are even known issues, not to mention the prices of the vehicle always sells at or near MSRP.
I guess most people have so much excess money to burn, they love to piss it away. It must be nice
Hope this helps
As it turned out, the stores in the Columbus area were WAY higher than in Dayton where I ended up buying the '10.
Again . . . got the 2011 EX for $1000 over invoice (NOT MSRP) including all weather mats and mud flaps. . . this weekend. I am LOVING my new ody. With everything needing to be done for winter to my 2002 ody. . . I just could not wait.
Was able to get a sound deal now though, I believe.
Price did not include ship, tax, title.
If you cannot for some reason wait. . . go in there stating you will be waiting until car buying services post their prices in a couple of weeks (as expected online USAA). Participating dealers have already set these and know. . . they will be in line with other discounts (ie 2011 sienna which has been online and out for some time). Probably a bit less of a discount as it is so new, in demand, for right now.
They worked with us. Stafford, VA Pohanka Honda:)
Off to run errands. . . what fun!
There are multiple factors against Honda selling as many vehicles as they wish. Joblessness, less job stability, poor investment performance, increasing fed/state/property taxes, increasing healthcare costs - all these affect the middle class buying decision.
The weakening USD is going to give US makers an edge (maybe slight). Americans are focusing on initial cheapness more than before, more buyers are considering Hyundai/KIA vehicles.
In any case, prices can only go downhill from here, I foresee the price going down to invoice price very quickly, if there's no incentive. I'd wait a bit until the competitors push out their '11 products and wait until middle of next year.
I do not think they are budging much on tourings. One left the night before ours for $100 under MSRP! Crazy. These are the models where they make their money though. You best wait for at least car buying services to post prices for tourings.
IMO I can get a great GPS and DVD system for $200 a piece tops to take on long trips, already have them. If they break, get a new one for WAY cheaper than bringing it to dealer for updates and maintaining. Kids have itouches too. So for us, the difference is significant for a house on wheels, leather, etc. Crazy pricey. 40K+
You may be holding your breath for big incentives on the Odyssey. The minivan market is half the volume it once was and manufacturers have reduced their production and sales expectations.
Here is some insight as to how car sales did last month Sept. 2010. See link below-->>

Any discount off invoice price will need to be in the form of publicized incentives, or hidden manufacturer to dealer holdbacks. In the latter form, you need to dig it out of the dealer's hand through negotiation. In the case of '10 Odyssey, there must be at least $1000-1500 of hidden holdbacks on top of the 1500 customer rebate, otherwise they won't sell it to me at 600-700 below invoice.
Approximately 50% in the first 4 years, and then taper off?
From my local craigslist, 06 EX-L with RES 81k miles is asking 16k by a private party. That's maybe 14k off 30k price.
25%-30% gross profit?? Where do you get these numbers?
Seriously, I'm curious.
Thanks
It's only been a week since the 2011's release. If you can, wait another month or two. Late December would be ideal.
USAA car buying service has it listed at $32,330.
Which is it?
BUT I just checked USAA this morning and the price has DROPPED since last night! EXL with RES is now $33790, $2 under USAA's invoice price.
