Thanks.
However, they could make the same deal for you on a vehicle they'd have to find that they can on one in stock. If it really came down to it, they'll do it.

I considered a EX model but didn't think the upgrades were worth another 2-3000. Anybody out there get a similar price on a LX 4wd model?
net cap cost (same as sale price) : $24,595
http://automobiles.honda.com/current-offers.aspx?ModelName=Pilot
....
MSRP $29,965.00 (includes destination) less the capitalized cost reduction (which may be paid by the suggested dealer contribution) resulting in actual net capitalized cost $24,594.84.....
Two more quick questions.
1. From the pics I see, the 09 does not seem to have a spoiler, correct? Is there an aftermarket spoiler one can get it or not? I like the look of the spoiler on the 08s so I'm wondering why they went away from that look.
2. At what point would be the best time to go and try to get a deal for an 09? e.g. Now or over the summer or later than that? I assume that has to do with when do the 2010s start selling? I think the 09s went on sale around June 2008, right? I am leaning toward getting a 2009 right around the July timeframe but didn't want to wait too long and risk not being able to get exactly what I want. The reason I ask is that trying to find an 08 Pilot now (autotrader, cars.com etc.) is near impossible. There's very few out there and I don't want to run into the same thing looking for an 09.
Again, I'm a first time new car buyer so sorry if number 2 is a dumb question.
Thanks all!
Other wise, the Touring Navi RES has an ivoice of $37071.00 and an MSRP of $40665.00. That would mean you have an offer far better then anyone in the country. However, if the offer is for the EXL RES 4WD I know of two dealers who are closer to $31800.00
I am curious about the Costco program. Do they simply ask for a number or ask to see the actual card? I am not a member but my parents are and I'm wondering if I can use their number.
If not, it's probably just worth it to join Costco for $80 or so for the year in order to save hundreds if not more on buying a Pilot. Agree?
Thanks!
Hard to pin down when the best deal would be, incentives can always get better...or worse. Since those tend to run on a monthly basis, you never can tell. If indeed the 2009 came out around June/July, you'd be really hard pressed to find a leftover by now. Even before the new models come out, dealers are going to cut back on what 2009s they order so getting 'exactly what you want' may prove problematic. Even now, the supply of LX and EX with no Leather in my area appears to be rather limited, so it's really a trade off on getting a potentially better price but not getting what you want (or only having vehicles with too many options to choose from.) By the end of the 2009 model run, you may also encounter vehicles that have been used for lots of test drives and/or had goofy dealer stuff installed that you're not specifically interested in.
On the Costco issue, I would think that if it came down to it, a dealer would give you the price.
Waiting for your response.......

I think all dealers will match
I found most dealers would quote invoice. Then when you mention the factory to dealer incentive, they would revise to invoice minus incentive. (Each one would say "I don't know if there is. Let me check." Uh, you don't know your own incentive programs?)
On the flip side, when I was doing paperwork on our Pilot, I overheard them get an offer of $15000 on a new Odyssey 'because the news says you have to make any deal...'
I took that as there being wiggle room to negotiate (without much pain) for us to take the one off his lot.
If I worked and pushed harder, I probably could have gotten another color (trade from another dealer) for the price I got, too.
So, I agree. They'll want you to buy from their inventory. But, if they really want to make the sale to help their volume numbers or whatever, they'll do it. Even if it means having to swapping with another dealer.
Price was $30,900 plus TTL and they threw in all season floor mats.
I am sure you can find another $200 - $300 less than this price BUT I worked out the deal with only 2 emails and 2 phone calls. They faxed me the credit application and I made an appointment to come in last night.
When I got there, they were ready for me, we shook hands, reviewed the numbers, showed me the car (already prepped) and then took me right into F&I. I was there for 35 minutes.
There was no B/S, no upsells, no surprises...they did everything they said they were going to do. If you are looking for that type of experience give them a call.
We almost bought the EXL FWD with the RES for $29,638 but changed our minds after this week's storm.
We were originally looking for an Accord and the dealership had the lowest priced Hondas in our area. We bought a fully loaded Accord 8 years ago for $23,400 and now in 2009 the price is about $23,300 for another fully loaded (without navi though) Accord. Amazing.
I intend to buy a Pilot EX-L within the next 3 weeks. I am also wondering how dealer incentives will change in Feb so any information anyone has would be great.
