    I've been looking to replace my '95 Plymouth Voyager for a couple of weeks. I got real serious about it last week. Called around the NW Indiana/Chicago area. Found some EXs in stock, but with dealer add-ons. On Thursday found a Mesa Beige EX at Gurley Leep Honda in Elkhart (www.gurleyleep.com). Put a deposit on it over the phone. Picked it up the next day. Dealt with Shawn Jacobs.

    I have had some people talk about the UBS pricing, and how attractive it is. What they fail to realize is that the dealer has to set aside at least ONE Odyssey from each allocation for UBS.

    What this means is that all the people that want to do the UBS....have to wait in line, and usually for a LONG time. I run into the UBS buyers all of the time...they are for the most part a pretty frustrated lot.

    For what its worth.

    Hi Ravi-I hear Austin is a tough place to get a deal, the Houston area is better.

    Has anyone received a good deal in Rochester, NY for an Ody? Where?
  • raybearraybear Member Posts: 1,795
    Hmmm. You may have to travel a bit to get a deal at MSRP. Real tough to go below.
  • oddynewbieoddynewbie Member Posts: 5
    I was able to list & got bid from dealers in SF bay area for between 300 to 500 above MSRP. I used liquidprice.com & cars.com for these bids. Is this reasonable for an ODDY. EX? Availability is less than 4-6 weeks on one dealer and the other is available in a week. Also, I got quoted for extended warranty 7/100K/0 for ODDY EX for between 1150 to 1350. PLEASE give me any advice on the above prices. Thanks a lot.
  • raybearraybear Member Posts: 1,795
    Those are good prices for the Bay Area. You might do a little better just to the east, but it may not be worth the trouble. The warranty looks higher than I've seen on these boards, maybe someone has some advice on that front.

    Nudge, nudge!

    Maybe someone could change theirs!
  • pulliampulliam Member Posts: 2
    I am going to talk to the salesman soon. email me your name and phone number to mjpulliam@aol.com and I will pass it along to him. He said he is expecting some to come in about 2 weeks. keep in mind you might have to drive a few hours to get the same deal. He also said he would deliver at a higher price.

    At this point I'm planning to pick up my GG 01 EX on Tuesday from a dealer in VA. They are offering it at $500 under MSRP if you "preorder". My "preorder" consisted of telling him which one I wanted before it arrived at the dealership. It arrived the next day, but I can't get it until next week when I was planning on being down there. The dealership has a steep processing fee which I'm working on, but the deal still beats the one I have up here in MD (plus no wait - my van is ready for me today). They are actually advertising this sale on their web site too.

    I would post the dealership, but I would rather have it in my hands before I give them too much praise. If you are interested, mail me.
  • merrimacmerrimac Member Posts: 5
    Does anyone have the price (or link) of the 5yr/100000/0 Hondacare warranty? I remember them being posted a while ago, but can't find the post now that I'm going to get my vehicle. I think it was AB in KY that was offering them low.

    Merrimac, could you let me know where you saw the GG EX for $500 below?
  • rkpankajrkpankaj Member Posts: 1
    Getting MSRP in Southern California seems easy these days. I got my GG EX-Navi from Valley Hi Toyota-Honda in Victorville. I had a good experience with them. I contacted them by email, got a call back and told them what I wanted. The van was available in 2 weeks as promised. They offered me 7/75000 extended manufacturers warranty with 0 deductible at $955. I am still thinking about the warranty. They have a web site www.valleyhi.com.

    A friend got an MB EX also at MSRP from Fuller Honda in Chula Vista. When I called them they were asking $1000 over MSRP. I didn't bother to haggle since Valley Hi was giving me what I wanted.

    I'm about to buy an Odyssey LX with key less remote in N. Jersey. I received one quote for $24,835 + doc $130 + sales tax. Price includes destination. I was told their would be a 4-6 week wait. I don't mind the wait, I'm just wondering if their is a place giving better prices.
  • newyorkjetsnewyorkjets Member Posts: 2
    I'm looking for prices paid and how long of a wait people in this area have had on purchases of odyssey LX.
  • amz997amz997 Member Posts: 61
    if anyone is looking for odessey LX call philadelphia honda they had 2 on their lot and when I asked them, they said MSRP.

    also I got a call from piazza honda for an gold ex
    for msrp .

    Looks like there are lot more odesseys on the lot available than few months back.

    I was looking for odessey but decided to get the Accord EX.

    Has anyone been able to buy an Odyssey for under MSRP in Kansas or Oklahoma? My husband and I are planning to buy one this summer, but would like to hear what kind of experiences others have had in our part of the country. We plan to get an LX. The closest dealer says there is a 60 day wait. We don't care a whole lot about the wait, we're more interested in getting a good deal.

    I have been shopping at Bob Hoard Honda in Edmond and They have told me they will sell for $500 and maybe $1000 under sticker. I plan to order a 2002 model for our baby that is due in August.
  • sam122163sam122163 Member Posts: 1
    Purchased EX from ackson Dealer @25500+ tax & title, sticker 26840. Vehicle was on the lot, picked up same day. Happiness is mine.
  • robbucrobbuc Member Posts: 4
    I just tried to inquire Alton Blakley Honda about ordering 2001 EX. They said they can't get the 01 any more. The factory isn't taking any more orders for this year. The best they could do is 2002 ordered in August and delivered in September. Does this sound right to everyone else? I imagine demand and price will increase during those four months
  • oddynewbieoddynewbie Member Posts: 5
    I went out this last weekend to see what I can get and was able to haggle the price for the 01 EX down from 28340 to 27,100. However, I was quoted the 7yr/100K/0 extended warranty to be 1600 so I tried to bring it down to $1100 trying bundle it with the car (car + warranty = $28200). I even tried the final offer & walk-out trick too, but the dealer wouldn't budge at that price. I ended up agreeing to pay $28300 for the car + 7yr/100K/0 extended warranty and wait 1.5 to 2 weeks for my car to arrive. Do you think that's a good deal? I tried some other dealers in the bay area too, but some of them were pretty arrogant with I-don't-need-you attitude and some of them with very high pre-negotiated price.

    How much money should I expect to pay for dealer processing fees? $200? Did anyone get the delivery fee waived?

    I will be purchasing a 2002 EX-L,Nav. and rear entertainment system.

    Thanks

    I now own the car, so here is the recap. First - I was extremely DISAPPOINTED in the dealership's service level! I came close to walking out on the deal a few times.

    Car was advertised at $500 under MSRP, so base price I paid was $26,340. The dealership had a $349 processing fee they would not budge on (despite me doing the processing of the vehicle). I had to pay $50 city tax (I'm still wondering if that is right), a title tax (which I'm told will be credited towards my state tax when I register it in MD, and a $12 temp tag (not bad). So bottom line is I got it for roughly $100 under MSRP which is the same deal I had in MD, but without the wait.

    Because I complained about the horrible service I told them they should at least throw in the Xbars, which they did. I also purchased the 6/100000/$50 Hondacare. They matched the price I found on the internet $775 with no questions (another shiny moment in the not too shiny deal).

    All in all, I like my new GG 01 EX, but not the dealership. If anyone is looking for a July delivery on a SS 01 EX at $100 under MSRP in MD, email me. I will be cancelling my order tomorrow when I get home.

    I've been a lurker here for quite awhile, and thought I'd chime in with a good experience with both price & salesman.

    We just picked up our GG EX w/Navi a week ago (& love it). We went to Bronx Honda and our salesman was Vincent Gordon. He was a pleasure to do business with (Now that's something I never thought I'd say about a car salesman). Phone there is: 718 892-3300. We lucked out with our timing, as the exact car we wanted was coming in, and the person who ordered it, really wanted an EX w/o Navi. He turned it down, and we got it!!!

    Now, about the price. We got it for $500 under MSRP. To do this, we signed up on two websites. One called milepoint.com and the other was automallonline.com. The first allows you to convert mileage to $$$ for certain airlines. From there you can use your $$$ toward the purchase of stuff from participating sites. automallonline.com was one of the sites, and Bronx Honda was a dealership participating in automallonline.com's program. We converted 12,500 miles to $250 - at the time automallonline.com was doubling the value (hence the $500). I believe that you can use 25,000 miles to get the $500 discount also. I checked with quite a few dealers in the NY Metro area that were signed up for automallonline.com, but only Bronx Honda was participating for the Odyssey. automallonline.com also has their own discount program, but for us, that only added another $14 or so to the discount. We also had to put a $300 "deposit" with them to get a certificate to bring to the dealer. The good news with that, is that the $300 was taken off of the price, so that brought the taxes down some.

    If you do business with Vincent, please mention my name: Larry Levy.

    And if you don't make use of the programs, they were sell the Ody at MSRP.

    Where can I find or get the best deals on Honda's extended warranties? I am looking for a 6year/100,000 or 7/100,000. Would like the most current prices being paid. Seems every dealer has a different price.
  • hillbiehillbie Member Posts: 10
    I'm new to the board. Great info! I have been reading about pricing out of state. I'm in Los Angeles, CA. I am looking for a 2001 White EX and am willing to have it brought in from out of state, in order to purchase at a better price. How does the sales tax & registration work?
  • hillbiehillbie Member Posts: 10
    Clay21, I've seend several of your posts....saying "contact me." How is one supposed to do that? Your e-mail address is not on your profile.
  • kalajiankalajian Member Posts: 43
    HILLBIE-IT'S EASY.

    1. First, get your van from out of state: you will pay no state sales tax in selling state, and only a temporary registration fee;
    2. Take your van to a California smog stattion and get a smog certificate;
    3. Contact DMV on line and make an appointment at a convenient dmv office near you;
    4. Show up at the appointed time with all of your sales paperwork, and smog check and ownership certificate-also take the van as they will need to inspect it to certify it has all the necessary smog stickers, equipment and such;
    5. Pay California state sales tax on your purchase price and registration fees for your vehicle;
    6. You'll be out of the dmv office in twenty minutes.
  • raybearraybear Member Posts: 1,795
    You can get the Odyssey for MSRP in Los Angeles. It's probably not worth it to try for a better deal, given the cost of transportation from the midwest and the trouble you'll go through.
  • randyminerrandyminer Member Posts: 6
    Just another data point... We are paying MSRP+tax&tag for a GG EX with Lojack at no charge (not that big a deal if you ask me since it has a decent security system already). No other dealer fees of any kind. Several dealers in the Orlando area could not match this price. Best price I got locally was 500 over MSRP w/no extras thrown in, and they wouldn't budge even when I faxed them a copy of the other offer! Guess these vans are still just too hot here.

    So we are driving 3 hours to Hollywood Fla (Maroone Honda) to pick it up. Worth the trip for $500 in my pocket and Lojack. We pick it up tomorrow (Saturday 6/2).

    The 7yr/100k hondacare w/zero deduct is $1600 for all FL dealers. So we will buy that elsewhere, I figure I should be able to find it for $950 or less somewhere.

    call tracy she will give it for 895!!
  • hillbiehillbie Member Posts: 10
    I just got off the phone with a Honda Dealer who told me that about 1 month ago, there was a recall on new Odyssey with White paint. The problem has been fixed and new arrivals should be OK. Does anyone know anything about this? What are the manufacture dates involved?
  • anolledoanolledo Member Posts: 6
    Hi,
    I'm looking for an Odyssey LX in the Ventura/LA county. Has anyone had a good experience in the area (finding and buying a LX)? I understand some people have gone as far as Palmdale, but I would like to stay closer to home. I am also going to trade in our Explorer before something major happens to it, does anyone have good advice on trade ins.

    Thank you
  • kalajiankalajian Member Posts: 43
    I could find no deals in Ventura, Simi or Valley areas. (At least not anyone who could actually deliver after promising-I was on a waiting list for five months) I purchased my 01' ex-n out of state and had it shipped to Simi. Saved over $3500 over what local dealer wanted for same vehicle...
  • raybearraybear Member Posts: 1,795
    They're a bit sparse right now. You can get one for MSRP in LA if you're willing to wait about a month, depending on color. You should give Palmdale a call to see if they have anything if you need one sooner. Jim Maze is the internet manager there.

    My Plymouth Voyager finally bit the dust. Riding up I81, to upstate New York with 5 people, my 1992 Grand EL lost the engine. If I was flying I probably would have cashed. But... I been reading this sight for almost two years, and on the UBS list at Browns Arlington Honda for 8 months. Spoke with UBS Rep Gabe today but he said I'm not close enough to even talk. I have a large file of advice from this sight and I let you know how I luck out, Thanks for all the info.
  • raybearraybear Member Posts: 1,795
    I've heard of some decent deals, MSRP and even a bit under, from Philly.
  • hillbiehillbie Member Posts: 10
    Can someone please post again the address for "possible updates" on the new 2002 Odyssey? I've been searching the board, but can't locate it. (I guess I don't know how to use the search engine right, so I've been going page to page.)

    I'm looking for possible info about side-airbags in 2002. Anyone have any thoughts about it?
  • amz997amz997 Member Posts: 61
    if you can drive to philadelphia, then give philadelphia honda a call. they had 2 odesseys last weekend ready for delivery. One of my friend just got a ex+nav with out any waiting period.
  • dparis1dparis1 Member Posts: 45
    Looking into buying a Odyssey in the Baltimore,MD area. Does anyone have any reccomendations on dealers to go to.
    What prices I can expect.
  • dparis1dparis1 Member Posts: 45
    Any comments on between the two?
  • j_stockj_stock Member Posts: 1
    Great board.
    I am getting 01 LX Odd for $25600 driving out price.
    Is it a good deal ?
    I am going to need a key less entry ? Can some one tell me how much extra will it cost. ?
  • sbpceapsbpceap Member Posts: 67
    Both grand caravan and odyssey are nice vans. GC seems to have gotten its act together, and has advantages of superior 4 wheel disc brakes, and a power sliding door that has a manual override capability. Odyssey has folding rear seat, simpler product pricing. Reliability records of past few years indicates no clear favorite, except for 99 Ody being a dog. Pricing (after GC discounts) make them comparable, and even insurance costs are comparable! Not an easy choice for me, but others seem to favor one or the other more strongly. More is written in 2001 van comparison board, which you can refer to for some interesting arguments.
  • marek4marek4 Member Posts: 1
    I was quoted $25725 drive out for LX with key less entry in Houston.

    I got two quotes for key less from two dealers: $225 and $440.
  • jmurman42jmurman42 Member Posts: 675
    Supplies are pretty tight. Honda's final allocation for the 2001 model was just released. I don't know wether that means we will get our shipments prior to the August dates or not.
