Pohanka has a good reputation in the DC area. You might also try Criswell and Sport Honda. They are also good. Avoid College Park and Ourisman Honda unless you enjoy deception.
What is lemon law for $80? You have to pay $80 for the dealer to comply with the law? This appears to be a new dealer trick. For this dealer, $549 additional profit is not enough! Wonder what else this dealer is up too?
I purchased EXL yesterday at college park, md. I started with 27798 + 499 appearance + dest + ttl. I am disappointed, because they added and an additional 500 and claimed I needed to pay that to get manufacturer's incentive. It didn't smell right, and I should have gone back to sport honda in silver spring, but they were stingy on the trade.
Did you have Carmax appraise you trade before you went to the dealer? I did, and Sport matched it after I showed the Carmax offer. Their initial offer for the trade was 1000$ less.
I tried calling her but she seems to forgotten about this deal. Oh well, I am going to Pohanka since they now have a polished metallic metal in stock and is willing to beat the deal you got at Sport.
Pohanka came through for me on a Polished Metal Metallic EX-L for 29,500 OTD. This price includes the $750 rebate for financing through Honda. They ended up matching Carmax's offer on the trade in. They asked me what price they needed to beat to seal the deal. I mentioned the deal 29,700 OTD deal from Sport Honda as mentioned here and they came back with 29,500. With the $750 rebate, the price of the Van without TTL is around 28,300. This includes destination. Thanks everyone for their help.
Negotiated pricing on '13 Odyssey EXL with RES for $31K and '13 Odyssey Touring for $35K in Dallas the past few weeks. Decided to go with Touring as my wife wanted the Navigation built in. Both prices include the $750 flex cash discount from Honda Finance (0.9%). Dealer is also including a number of accessories at no charge in with my price: Tint, Paint/Fabric Protection, Hand painted pinstripes, Door Edge Guard, Body Side Molding, Wheel Locks, Trunk Tray, Nose Mask and Plash Guards.
I would strongly recommend Weather Tech Floor Liners as we had this on our last Odyssey: link title
Lastly, there are a number of sites that allow you to purchase HondaCare extended warranty. 8 year/120K mile with no deductible for less than $1,500, great investment and piece of mind if you plan on keeping the van.
Rusty Wallis, John Eagle Honda, Lute Riley all quoted me similar prices--all Dallas area dealers. I did not have a very good experience with David McDavid Honda in Frisco, they were somewhat arrogant and weren't as competitive on price as they made themselves sound. Two other dealers: Freeman Honda and Honda Cars of McKinney pricing were too high and they openly admitted that was the best they could do. I had the best experience from John Eagle Honda so far in Dallas.
Rusty Wallis Honda in Dallas. Honda Care is extra. Do an internet search and there are numerous dealers offering extended Honda Care warranties at a discount from what you would be charged when purchasing a car by their finance department.
Hi , I am in the market for Odyssey EX-L in San Francicso Bay Area, and as I have missed the memorial day deal, just would like to know, if any body around SF bayarea, got into Odyssey, and If you could share the details of your findinds or deals, I would be thankful to you. Also very new to the forum here. Thanks-
Of course, in most states. However, each dealer's finance office generally gains over $1,000 in profit on the sale of an extended warranty. They do this because you are sitting in their office and they assume you will buy at their exaggerated price due to the ease of incorporating into the financing. Other dealers are willing to sell at a reduced profit as they do not have that advantage.
What is a discount when it comes to an extended service contract. There is no MSRP on such a contract. Each dealer F&I person basically sets the price, which has no correlation to cost. Not sure I would categorize a reduction to such a price as a discount.
It would be nice if dealers were required to disclose the actual cost of the extended service contract. Then consumers could judge for themselves the true value of a dealer's price. I doubt many folks would be happy to hand a dealer $2,000 for a contract which only cost the dealer $800 or so.
Rusty Wallace Honda is in Tenn. US Fidelis was in Missouri, now in jail I believe. Ol Rusty was the front man for US Fidelis, remember the plethora of commercials from past times.
I am also in the market for EX-L. The quote I got from Pohanka is no way near $29k. amsen, can you please let us know the price when you talk to Tasha? thanks! Also several dealers in DC area told me that the flex cash promotion($750) has expired since Memorial day. Is it true, everyone?
Our dealer called me to let me know that the numbers looked right to turn in our 2011 EX-L RES (Southeastern US). We were happy to do so since we had 34k miles and would be needing brakes and tires in the next 6-8 months. Wife wanted either Crystal Black or White Diamond Pearl (Touring only color) and ONLY the Truffle interior.
Van traded for what we owed (fine with me, had a dent in the tailgate from a garage door vs. tailgate fight). Originally offered $617 on Touring Elite (white diamond pearl). Due to the fact they would have to trade another dealer for a black RES, we finally got down to $555 for 36 months 12k/year on the Touring Elite. (We would have kept same payment on RES - which was awesome too).
If you want a Touring, I have a feeling dealers are willing to cut deals, but get in before end of month - did our deal yesterday - highly incentivized to move inventory. My advice - find a dealer with the vehicle you want so they don't have to trade.
Best part - the residual on this new lease is $2k lower than on the previous lease!
I just bought the vehicle from Pohanka Honda from Tasha today. The vehicle is Honda Odyssey EX-L w/o navigation, or RES. The price is $30,728, including everything. MD tax is 6%. It may be not the best deal of the world, but I feel okay. Tasha gave me the price over the phone, and I decided to go for it. I didn't negotiate since I feel the price is reasonable.
Actually considering that I am a VA resident with a tax rate of 3%, the deal you got is very close to the deal that I closed with Tasha so I would say you got a great deal. Enjoy the Odyssey.

Thanks to all the info we gained from this forum, did enough home work. Friday we picked the TE for $37060 + Doc fee 349 + reg 100 and tax . We got 3 offers from Truecar each about $1K apart and picked the least one. Traded in my 07 CRV for 9100 ( 111K miles and a small fender dent) With Tax out the door price was around 30300.
Got the 0.9% 60 months finance from Honda. The dealer had to trade the van from another dealer for he did not have the Met Topaz we wanted. In the end it all worked out well. Just ordered the All weather mats and Door sill garnish online - they were selling MSRP at the service center.
You can check the True Car prices in your zip code and surrounding areas. My Zip code gave me the following prices and the dealer accepted them. I got the Touring Model ($34,785 +TTL).
One should be able to get at these prices and probably even lower if you can negotiate well. There will be better bargains in late June and July as the dealers try to clear the 2013 Models but color availability and model choices will get limited. ************************************************ Model "MSRP" "True Car Price Zip-65203" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LX $29,505 $25,060 EX $32,655 $26,933 EX-L $36,055 $29,034 EX-L w/Entertainment System(RES) $37,655 $30,493 EX-L w/Navigation System $38,055 $30,858 Touring $42,360 $34,785 Touring Elite $44,855 $37,060 *************************************************
I didn't got through TrueCar - I was just using that price as a reference point. I did get the $750 off my base price (which I forgot to add into my out the door, so it should be $750 lower)
I'm dealing with dealer for my second car. But I don't understand the suggested price in dealer shop.(I'm new commer in US) Could you any body tell me it is reasonable or not?
At first, dealer suggest around $29K as an internet price include destination fee, So I think it is resonable. But I visited the dealer shop he said I should pay $1250 more if I don't use Honda finance.(other dealer shop said $2500 more). Unfortunately, I don't have any credit in US.
If possible, Could anybody explain the incentive or rebate plan in Honda Odyssey?
Current Honda Incentives on the Odyssey offer $2500 in dealer rebates if you use Honda Financing there is $1,000 Dealer Rebate if you do not use Honda Financing. So if your quote included the $2500 you would need to add $1,000 to the price.

I spent some time going through all the posts and copying purchases with the lowest offer so I can use this as leverage on negotiating a OTD with the dealerships.
The dealerships saw the prices and noticed they were OTD's from the East Coast and dismissed them. I'm back on the forum and am noticing that CA prices are a bit higher...sucks for us.
The car would be registered in Elk Grove at 8% tax.
Any suggestions on how to continue? What is a good price for CA on the EX-L's?
The lowest quote I've received is from Avery Green Honda in Vallejo: $31,579. E-price $28,694, Tax 2,481, DMV 404.75. 60 months @ 553.47 @ 0.9% financing
I'd also be interested in keeping the protection package that's already installed on the car. It really disturbed me that they wanted to charge us extra after all the work we had done negotiating on our last car (also purchased at avery green). So this time i'm not going to budge and make them include those items...mud guard, wheel locks, protection film...

Which dealer was it?
How much was your title and doc fees?
What was your pretax cost of the vehicle alone?
Thank you
Base (incl. dest. fee): $25,205
Taxes: $1,764.38
KY fees: $37
Documentation charge: $200
Discount for financing (0.9%, 36 mo.): -$750
Out-the-door: $27,379
The TrueCar price for Louisville, KY, confusingly, was $26,160 (incl. dest) yesterday and dropped to $24870 today.
Also, why does Honda have a $750 incentive tied to financing only, when 0.9% financing for 36 months results in much less than that in interest fees?
I did Financing but I am not sure on that incentive.
Anyone, please.
But I don't understand the suggested price in dealer shop.(I'm new commer in US)
Could you any body tell me it is reasonable or not?
At first, dealer suggest around $29K as an internet price include destination fee, So I think it is resonable. But I visited the dealer shop he said I should pay $1250 more if I don't use Honda finance.(other dealer shop said $2500 more). Unfortunately, I don't have any credit in US.
