    Just leased a 2012 EX-L Honda Pilot in NY for $440 per month, $1500 down, 12k miles per year for 36 months. Did I get totally taken? I'm really dissapointed - I think I didn't do enough research. Any thoughts?

    Thanks

    Just brought 2012 Pilot in IL from Bill Kay Honda. Out the door price was 35620 (with installed premium running boards).
    base 32356
    running boards 765 (installed), ttl 2500

    Is this a good deal??

    They are in Kankakee county in IL, where the tax rate is pretty low as compared to Chicago (6.25%), you will save some money.

    The dealer was great to workwith, no pressure, all communication thru email until day of purchase.

    Purchased from Atlantic Honda In Bayshore, NY. Base price 32027 plus 830 destination & tax. My salesperson was Yves. Declined their extended service contract. Purchasing Honda Care through Hyannis Honda. If you're buying A Pilot read through the posts. Definitely helpful.

    how much did you pay not including the dealer options and where did you buy from? Oursman Honda quoted me 30495.00 before fees for a 2012 Pilot ex-l 4wd! thanks
  • sonotsonot Member Posts: 4
    any advice on how much I should pay! (2012 Pilot 4WD EX-L )

    please help me buy my first car! EVER!
  • sonotsonot Member Posts: 4
    you should be able to get 30495.00 before fees
  • hondamdhondamd Member Posts: 2
    I went to Ourisman in Bethesda. Sticker price for dealer options is $995, so I effectively paid $30545 for the base 4WD EXL. Although, I didn't pay the $200 processing fee either, dropping it to $30345.

    I tried to get a model without dealer options, but they claimed all of those were invoiced after March (so they could jack up the base price by 1.8% and charge $20 more for the destination fee).

    Just purchased new 2012 Honda Pilot EX-L 4x4 MSRP $37,150 for $32,433 only other fee was $206 for tag and title, and 6% sales tax for PA. Hope I got a good price. I called 5 dealers around the Philadelphia area and $32,433 was the best price.

    Carman,

    I am about to make a deal and just wanted some feedback. The dealer is asking $470 per month for 35 months on a 36 month 12,000 mile lease. All fees are included. Cap cost seems high at $34,780 but residual seems right at $19689. At the end of the day do I care if others have lower Cap cost but cant match the monthly payment? Just curious if the price seems high or low? Thanks
  • sonotsonot Member Posts: 4
    would you mind giving me the name of the salesperson so I can try to get the same deal? and any other advise would also be helpful!

    I get following rough quote in email from a dealer (its in south california) through email negotiations -

    MSRP $35,550 2012 Pilot EX-L
    Dealer Invoice $32,890.58
    Holdback $694.40
    Dealer cash $750

    $31,446.18 Our net cost for the Pilot

    $30,819 sale price
    $419 Pro pack (wheel locks, all season mats, rear cargo tray)
    $80 Doc fee
    $2427.14 State sales tax based on my city's tax rate
    $333 DMV fees
    $8.75 State tire fee

    =$34,086.89 Out the door

    Is it a good price or should I wait for couple of weeks when 2013 model is out and 2012 will have better discount?
    Also, what do experts feel about coming labour day weekend will have better or not on Pilot 2012?
    Last question, invoice include $419 Pro pack (wheel locks, all season mats, rear cargo tray), isn't these are always included in the price or should I negotiate on this?

    Thanks in advance !

    I am trying to trade in my 2008 Pilot EX (4WD with RES) and get a 2012 EX-L 4WD with a dealer in Burlington County NJ. I do not believe they are coming down to a fair purchase price in the $32,500 to $33,000 range. How much were the dealers willing to negotiate over the phone with you? I may start calling other dealers soon if they don't come down to the same price as yours.
  • dls1977dls1977 Member Posts: 2
    Try calling main line honda in villanova area of pennsylvania. I bought an exl there for 32500. I worked with tony longo.

    David,
    Thank you for this post !! By showing this post, I was able to save the destination charges - $810.00. I wish I got the 1.9% financing like you did, but couldn't. I bet you saved money for more people than just me.

    Here are all the fees I paid:
    State Sales Tax: $2543.94
    Tire Tax: $7.50
    Registration / Title Fees: $446.50

    Documentary Fee: $398.00 - Do we need to pay this??
    Security Guard: $299.00
    Dealer Prep: $95.00.

    According to the dealer, Documentary fee, Security Guard and Dealer prep fee are standard. Is that true? That amounts to another $800.00

    Hi dls1977,

  • csharpdudecsharpdude Member Posts: 1
    Just picked one up for $28700 plus $300 for the tint in Houston. They had close to 2K in dealer adds but they were all stuff that had yet to be installed so I didn't even have to try to get them dropped. The deal was almost too easy. Makes me wonder how much lower I could have gone.

  • NorfolkpanNorfolkpan Member Posts: 3
    My place is a mid size city in VA. I negotiated with several dealers and got the 2012 2wd exl for 31400 otd. my tax is only 3%, so the car price is about 29800. It is the lowest I can get..... hopefully it's ok.
