Anyways ignore VIP and move on. Finally we bought a Accord for my brother at a different place at that time.
Do we have to pay this when we purchase cars?
I paid $33058 ($32700 + 358 for accessories) at Norris Honda in Baltimore for an EXL-RES. Between $400 and $700 under invoice. I dealt with more than 20 dealers in the VA/DC/MD area--I live in Virginia. It was worth the drive to Baltimore. Also try O'Donnell Honda in Ellicot City--they were close.
I did have a trade, but it was negotiated separately and the trade in offer was a fair price--$500 more than what CarMax offered.
I know its frustrating when you email for quotes and get numbers that are nothing like what people report, but honestly, the deals are real and they do happen. You just have to be patient and meticulous. I spent a lot of time and effort on this and in the end I saved a lot of money compared to what most people in our area are paying for these vehicles.
BTW--we've had it for a little over a month and 2000 miles and we love it. Its been flawless and a huge improvement over our 2007, which itself was a pretty darn good vehicle.
Anyone had any good purchase experience in this immediate area? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the info.
I'll try Norris Honda and see what happens as the 3 Honda dealers (Sport Honda, Criswell Honda, Hersons Honda) quotes are around $35k. Do you think it's worth the extra $$$ to buy EX-L with RES or just the EX-L and buy the DVD player and have it installed later by a local shop?
Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the price. I thought you purchased EXL with RES from Norris in Baltimore, MD? Did I misunderstand you? Your price quote shows NJ sales tax...
To answer the other questions--yes, it was the EXL-RES. Invoice price on these vehicle is $33,400. I calculated actual dealer cost (subtracted holdback) at $32,700, and that's the deal I got. My vehicle did have wheel locks and spalsh guards on it, which added $300 to the price. I actually did want the splash guards anyway and since they were so far under invoice, I elected not to quibble on this, but did use it to get a little bit more on my trade. However--I had that price on the new vehicle regardless of the trade.
Also--we bought a 2007 EX-L (without RES) and ended up regretting it--it was one of the reasons we elected to trade for a new one. At the time, our son was young and rear facing. As he got older, it became clear that the DVD was going to be a big help, so we put in seat back ones. Frankly, they were a huge pain in the a--. You can't operate them from the front seat, the DVD starts over every time you start the car, etc. I wanted an integrated system (plus, we had another kid...and now another is coming...). As far as an aftermarket system, I know some people have done this and had luck. What can I say, I'm fairly risk adverse. I suppose if you find somebody that really knows what they are doing, you'll save some money. But I can't see how they can completely replicate the degree of integration that the Honda RES system has, and you get extra jacks and outputs in the back on the RES models. Unlike the last model, the RES system controls are built into the main dash stack and run through the MID screen. I am not clear what an aftermarket system does to the warranty. Also, I added Hondacare 8/120 (for $1270, $25 under cost from Hyannis Honda), and that includes coverage of the RES system--so now if it breaks sometime in the next 8 years, its under warranty.
That was my reasoning on that.
As far as RES vs NAV--well, RES keeps the kids happy! NAV not so much. Also, my personal opinion is that the portable nav units do an adequate job for the relatively small number of times we truly need a NAV system. Not only that, once the vehicle is a few years old, the technology on a new, relatively inexpensive protable GPS is actually going to be better than on an in dash unit since every year it evolves. So that one was an easy call.
Let us know if you work with them, and how they are. I am getting tired of waiting for an Elite to land in my area - maybe I will do an order with them.
But the price of the vehicle, including accessories AND destination, was $33058.
Can I know the dealers you are talking about from Chicago?
We are very pleased with the 2011. This is our second Odyssey. Our first is a 2000 LX with 180,000 miles on it. It is still going strong and we kept it because we have three children that are and will be learning how to drive. (The 2004 Accord EX w/Nav is a 5 speed.)
We choose the 2011 EX because I’m not a fan of leather in the Georgia heat, we needed the power doors because our parents are advanced in age and have a difficult time opening the manual doors on the 2000, and we didn’t need the entertainment system because our kids have reached the iPod stage. (They prefer to download and watch their own thing. We have a portable Sony DVD that we can put in the car if necessary.)
