We just purchased a 2008 EXL 4x4 w/aftermarket DVD and remote starter (wanted the factory dvd but could not find it in the color we wanted). It also has rear mudflaps, wheel locks, cargo mat and dealer installed paint protection -- these are all features we were not looking for but were already on the car.
Purchase price: 27,362
With 670 destination, 150 Doc fee + T.T.L. There was also a 25 dollar optional electronic filling fee that I did not worry about (could have fought that charge) but I felt good about the price.
I got internet quotes and after going to the dealer with the lowest price, they played their dealer games and tried to increase the price and used usual tactics to try and close on another car. They promised to deliver, but after putting up with their B.S. for one day I shopped around using their low price and found the car in the color we wanted. There was no negotiating and no pressure. We received the same price for the features we wanted and some extra perks thrown in (see previous mentioned add ons). We got what we felt was a fair price and the dealer made a good profit...all this on a car that is selling fast and furious. Be aggressive in your search and firm in your price and you will also find a fair deal.
You could upgrade to the 2009 using the same internet quote tactic to get the best price, but for us it did not make sense to pay an extra 5000 for a new design and minor upgrades.
P.S. Received internet quote of 33,145 no destination charge and remote starter included on 2009 EXL w/RES
Avoid River Oaks Honda in Calumet City...original low internet quote.
Planet Honda in Matteson, IL was great, no pressure, no games, great service before, through and after the sale.
Good luck!
Vehicle MSRP is $31,995. (Edmunds National Avg is $30,395)
Edmunds Invoice is $27,526
Numerous local email offers at $30,500
One dealer is advertising in the local paper $29,795
Destination add $670
I am offering paying $28,500 plus TTL & Destination. Think I should go for the juggular, play real hard ball and offer $28,500 including destination?
$31,995 - MSRP
$28,972 - Invoice
$670 - Destination
Invoice + Destination = $29,642
So your $28,500 offer is $1142 (or 4%) below invoice (if you really are looking at an AWD). I don't know what the holdback is, but I'd guess it's less than 4%.
If you are really looking at and for a FWD model, than your calculations are correct and you seem to be making a reasonable offer.
Good luck.
Invoice $28972
Holdback 2% of invoice $560
True invoice $28412
OTD 31995 - 3500 = 28495
28495 - 28412 - 670 = - 587 (dealer lost)
They are selling you the car at lost, jump on it.
I spoke with my manager and right now we are running an ad in the newspaper for a Pilot EX 4WD of $29,795 plus tax, tags, and dest, and thats the best we can do on that vehicle. We appreciate you're offer but we cant do it, if you got that number elsewhere, go get it because its a great deal. Sorry if this inconveniences you in anyway. I'm here if you have any questions. Thanks again.
Honda is not offering any factory to dealer bonuses on the 2009 Honda Pilot either at time of purchase or total volume.
Good luck!
$31,995 + $599.95 Dealer Fee + TTL = ~$34,778
Is this a good deal? Is it worth it to move up to a Touring?

Got the Quote for 26700 Socal Area (Orange County) Folks. What do yall think.
:confuse:
I was thinking about the 09 pilot. Liked MDX but thought price was too high and did not want a luxury SUV ( did not need it). That was until I got an offer for base MDX at 33,700 which is equivalent (somewhat- give or take a few things here and there) to 09 Pilot 4WD EX-L. Best price I got for 09 Pilot 4WD EXL was 34,800 (which is about what everyone is stating). I got the MDX instead. I hope this help with some people's decision.
Take care.
BUT I THINK THEY RIP ME OFF ON HONDA CARE I PAID 1935.00 DOLLAR EXTRA FOR 6 YEARS 10000.00 MILES EXTEDED WARRANTY....LET ME KNOW GUYS ..I THINK I PAID TOO MUCH FOR THAT..N W IF ANYBODY FROM SACRAMENTO NEED HELP OR QUE MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS [email protected]
Just a thought. I would rather have a service contract written and backed by Honda for my Honda then a service contract written by some random insurance company that may or may not go belly-up while I still have contract.
Anyway, good luck and happy shopping.
Would you mind posting the name of the dealer you got the e-mail from (regarding the discounts on the 09s)... it sounds like a great deal! Thank you :-)
What do you think - lets hear from you.
Fred
I requested a quote for a 09 Touring with Nav, let's see what happens..
In case they deny the offer, would you mind forwarding the e-mail to me, if
you still have it? Thanks again and enjoy your 08, it's still an awesome car!!!
The dealer still made some profit on the vehicle and I think I got about the best deal I could get (and I talked with sev dealers). So, if anyone in Indy or the surrounding area is looking, I would contact my dealer (Indy Honda on the southside) and ask for Matt in internet sales. He was very upright, honest and willing to work with me throughout the process.
I've had is from a Dealer in Chicago with an OUT THE DOOR PRICE of
$22,860, yet I'm holding out for $22,000-$22,500. I see pricing on this base model
from other Dealerships in my area of Ohio ranging from $23,500 to $24,750, also
quoted as OUT THE DOOR. My questions are;
1) What have any of you experienced on the basic model '08 VP (4WD) in ACTUAL
VALID OUT THE DOOR NUMBERS? I personally feel legitimate CASH
BUYER'S are few & far between & should warrant a significant discount?
2) Any known or unusual mechanical problems, complaints or issues surrounding
the '08 Pilot VP as I've heard that Honda has discontinued this VP model
as of the new '09's?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks
I tried to buy extended warranty from myhondawarranty but they not available in Ca ????. Any ideal anyone?
maureen
I assume "MV fees" are state required fees. I'd make sure they aren't adding anything unexpected into that.
Also, I'd make sure that there aren't any dealer installed options on the vehicle. In my experience dealers wouldn't tell me about those until I directly asked. Then they'd say that "Oh yeah, it's got X, Y, and Z installed and that adds another $2000 to the price."
Otherwise, $299 over invoice sounds like a pretty decent deal. Getting them all the way down to invoice will probably be difficult (although you never know an you may get lucky especially if you aren't in a hurry).
I'm skeptical that this offer is what they are saying. They probably didn't mention that there is something like a $3000 Protection Package that they've added to all of their vehicles that isn't included in the price.
