I just want you to get an idea of how much it cost to me then. Remember it has RES and AWD. Those 2 options together cost me 3200$ more (1700$ for RES and 1500$ for AWD). Thus the 2009 EX-L model would have probably cost me 29,500$.
If I read your post above, you are willing to buy a car for the same price what someone would have paid for it 1 yr ago. SUVs depreciate fast. A 2009 EX-L Used without Navigation/RES and Not-Certified should not cost you more than 25000$ + TTL.
I got my EXL 4x4 RES at Honda of Illinois in Springfield. Dealt exclusively with their internet manager. Whole deal went smoothly. He's very friendly, easy to work with & low pressure.
Thanks
Thanks!

$31840 + 780 destination + 249 doc fee + 304 NY reg + 2407 NYS tax = $35579 OTD
I feel like I could have done better, at least to get one or two goodies thrown in (all weather mats or something). The only option I really wanted was premium running boards, and spent $762 installed - not a break there.
The salesman at the next dealership was completely professional. Test drove an EX-L with 18.5k miles. Salesman seemed to jump at my FIRST offer of $27.3K. Checked with his manager, and apologized; he couldn't go lower than $29k. I politely told him I appreciated his position, but the price was far too close to the price of new 2011. He acknowledged we were too far apart to strike a deal on the used model, and tried to intiate a negotiation for a 2011. I walked. Nice enough guy, though.
Went home and shifted my search to a 2011.
I think dealers being firm on the price of used vehicles may also be related to how long they've had the vehicle in their lot. But I have seen them drop the price as the vehicle rots in their lot.
Not sure how they can work this way though... $29K EX-L if you finance @ 6% (for used cars) is only $30/month less in 60 monthly payments than a new $33K EX-L(high price) financed @ 2.9%.
Carfax reports will show when the vehicle was first offered for sale.
and ended up at the pilot again (we have a04 as well)
had prices from 4 dealers ranging from a otd (with no dealer addons) of 33500 to a high of 35500 we went with
34001 that was from a dealer 8 mins away vice the lowest price that was over a hour away, he also knocked down the price for the app pkg (trim strips pin stripes wheel locks) and the 5 yr leather warranty from 700 to 499 so we took it as we still have teenager and his stuff to hual around. Could have took the cheaper price but it was 103 in DC this weekend and we were ready to finish it up. Got the 8 yr 120k mile honda care from Hyannis
for 1270.

Price was $37,900 plus NYS Tax $3,363 and $117.50 for plates.
Total out the door was $41,381
Financing for 60 months @ 2.9%
Which area are you getting this deal? I'm looking into going thru costco in Los Angeles, CA area.
At first, the problem with Spreen was they would only give me $5000 for my trade (booked for $7700). A local dealer in San Diego told me they'd match Spreen's price and give me book for the trade, but they reneged in person. Two days later I received a mass email from Spreen offering 110% of KBB value on trade ins + an additional $1000 trade-in bonus as part of a weekend sales event.
So, I got the Pilot for $1,200 under invoice and they gave me $1,770 more than book for my trade. I couldn't resist digging at Spreen to find out how they do this and someone in management told me they are willing to lose money on fleet sales because the volume (read: notoriety) brings them more than enough retail business to make up for it. As long as you're willing to set up a fleet (read: Internet) price ahead of time, you can make out like a bandit there!
I should also mention that when I was price shopping on the phone with dealerships in San Diego I was warned there would be hidden add ons at Spreen (who sells the most Hondas to San Diego residents, btw). So, I was fearing the worst during the 90-minute drive up to Loma Linda only to find the SD dealers were merely trying to scare me away. Their price was legit. No bs and no add on fees. Sure, they tried to sell me a service plan, security system, and whatever other crap dealers hope to sell to you during the last minute squeeze, but they were not pushy and didn't react to me saying, "no." Pretty amazing considering they were LOSING money on my transaction!
Added the running board for about $650
Color: Bali blue
Happy with the purchase. Couldn't get a good trade in, so ended up selling my trade in at CarMax.
What is Resi?
RES = Rear Entertainment System (basically dvd system)
But based on acester's numbers Costco's deal is much better.
If you are in the market for a car, Costco is the way to go. A few of my friends bought cars (BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E350, Toyota Highlander & Corolla) through Costco and they have all received best pricing and good buying experience.
