Can you pl. let me if this a good deal ?
Total - $32298
Base Price + Destination $30,189
Tax - $1811 ( Since I'am a CT buyer ).
Doc Fees - $298
Thanks
Price (inc dest.) = $27,500
Doc = 289.00
Tax (7%) = 1945.20
License etc. (4 yrs) = 334
Total OTD = 30,055.23
Got it from Planet Honda. Extremely good dealership...absolutely no pressure...no haggling. They honored the price they promised me on the phone. Did not pressure me to buy accessories or warranty etc. I am very satisfied and I recommend this dealership to anyone who can commute to NJ.
Buy near or far?
Just relocated from Dallas to Austin, have great contacts in Dallas but not sure if we should buy 300 miles away from where the van would be serviced. Anyone have a good experience with a dealer in the austin area?
EX or EX-L
O.k., we live in TEXAS and if you ain't been here...it's hot so I don't care about leather and never use my moon/sun roof that I have now....should I stick with an EX? What else would an EX-L get me? Would like remote control sliding doors but can't figure out from the web if that comes with the EX. Anyone know?
Accessories
What's really needed? Here is what we were thinking....
wheel locks? Does a suburban soccer mom really need these?
mud flaps
door guard
cargo net vs cargo board? Is the board worth the cost?
Plus one console? always looking for places to stash kid junk but not sure if it is worth the cost?
3rd row sun shade - we plan on having at least 1 child on the 3rd row, is the shade needed?
cross bar? if we are interested in using a hard/soft pack for luggage is the cross bar necessary or do you just need the roof rails?
Now for the price....
I am looking at a MAX drive out price of 27100, tt&l, etc.. Is this good, too much, too little???
:shades: Thanks!
did you able to get the special offers financing i.e 0.9 for 36months, 3.9/60 etc ?
because that expired on 4/30/2007, and I am curious what's going to come next for May 2007 ?

Just trying make some precedence (if any) ?
I have gotten numerous internet quotes for the region and the lowest I got for EXL W/ RES was 30,200. That seems very high compared to other regions posted here. I am almost thinking of flying to a nearby area and driving back. seems worth it to save $1500 including the cost of a flight.
Any advice is much appreciated. :shades:
IMHO wheel locks are not only a waste of money but a potential problem. Keeping track of the key is one more hassle.
Mud flaps are worthwhile.
I've never bothered to install my door edge guards but feel the wheelwell trim (which few bother to get) serves a good purpose.
Never have used my net nor understood the point of the board.
I get lots of use out of the console in my Touring but not sure how it compares with the plus one console.
In two plus years, we've used the second row sunshades once or twice. In Texas, though, your experience may be quite different.
Cross bars are essential to secure a rooftop luggage carrier.
It's not clear what you mean by "...MAX drive price of 27100, tt&l..." Price will be determined by your market.
You should easily be able to buy an EX plus accessories for less $27,100 plus tax. I don't believe that you can buy an EX-L plus accessories at that number.
I'm not sure what to make of some of the posts here - some seem patently bogus - or perhaps incomplete - like forgetting to mention that the car was a demo, had some work done, etc.
Good luck to you.
Interest rates are going up. The net marketing support spent to offer these finance incentives will be similar to earlier this year, but it will look to consumers like a reduction. The trend (and other macro data) is not good for those hoping for 0% or 0.9% financing.
Price $26,000
Service Fee $95
Taxes (5.5%) $1435.23
Title/Reg $123
==========================
Total $27620
Accessories were splashguards and cargo mat. I refused wheel locks which I have no use for...stolen tires are not an issue in my neck of the woods
Overall, very happy with the deal. Could have saved $300-400 by driving to Chicago but simply not enough of a savings to justify that headache. The van is great and we can't wait to take it on family road trips all summer!
From a post on another forum from a California dealer. May be geography-limited though.
Personally, given how poorly the Odyssey is selling, I'd think Honda would up it a good bit more.
I believe forum rules do not allow me to do that.
However, the web does have good information about Honda's engine technology.
Also, another user in another forum noted that cars.com has listed the $750 incentive:
May 07 Odyssey incentive
Note also: it expires July 2
Thanks!

Overall, it was an easy experience. We really didn't haggle since $31,000 was the best quote we got and when I called to see if other dealers would match or do better, they said they couldn't or didn't reply back. Hardin said they would match any written quote. Even the dealer I got the quote from said he couldn't honor that pricing anymore.
I learned a lot from reading the postings from this forum. I pulled extended warranty quotes from the internet and they also matched the cheapest extended warranty quote. Hardin offers free oil changes (every other oil change) for the life of ownership of your Honda, so that is a plus. They have a large inventory of cars, so they had the color I wanted. It was just extremely busy there the day we bought, so we had to wait a bit for the finance manager to sign contracts. We missed out on the low APR and incentives that are now being offered in May, so I don't think I want to read any more posts
But interestingly not all dealers (even the one quoting me lower price in April) are even ready to take any amount off from their April offers, so may be it has some other criteria where a paricular dealer decides if he has lot of inventory and willing to let $750 off.
Thanks, V
it was 31480.25 and out of the door was 34281. The mud guard and key locks came with it. I did not go i that dealership with the intent to buy but to just confirm a color. I was gonna goto Metro Honda in Montcalire(who gave me the quote 34281) on saturday, but Diamond Bar had the same car there with the color and was able to do the same price. That 31000 price is great, awesome that he got that deal. but I am happy with mine also as a lot of the dealer were not even interested in my offers.
Don't think the 750 incentive is available in California.
but got the 4.9% over 60 months
Tks!!
To answer V's question: My extended warranty was 8yr/120K/no deductable for $1330. I remember reading a thread that the extended warranty (do a search or look back from Jan) is available through some dealerships even out of state. So print up the lowest price on the internet to use as leverage.
Good Luck!
We placed an order for a 2007 Odyssey EX-L with R+N package (RES+NAV) on May 3, 2007.
Our local dealer has located one (not direct order from factory), the car will have approx. 100 miles (we asked) by the time it arrives from "located" dealer to our local dealer.
We understand that cars (all brands) will have approx. 5 to 15 miles on them due to factory and local dealer "testing" at the time of delivery.
At what mileage new cars could be considered "used"? We heard somewhere along 5,000 miles.
Should we have our local dealer to place an order from the factory instead of locate method?
Any feedbacks would be greatly appreciated!!
Can always check realtime offers at http://automobiles.honda.com/ and click on "special offers" Memorial Day weekend is usually a big promo time for mfg's. Wouldn't be too surprised if they offered something better for a few days around that time.
Vehicles are "used" when they have been previously titled, regardless of mileage. Hence, your Odyssey will be considered "used" the moment you drive it off the lot.
I am here in triangle (Raleigh/durham), and able to get offers for EX around 26k plus tax, tag, doc fee, and EXL for 28k plus same tax/tag/doc fees, these prices are w/o RES and Nav.
Basically I am unable to get comparable prices like this forum from the local dealers, where people are getting EX, EXL for 25k and 27K respectively in MD, PA areas. Please share what you are able to find.
thanks.
i believe i got an excellent deal, paying barely above invoice on my brand new van and getting dvd and truck tray, wheel locks, front 2 windows tinted, and mud guards.
here is the exact numbers before going into the finance office.
price: 29631
theft protection insurance: 199 (this was in exchange of a .25 point reduction in interest rate. it would pay back for itself and net me 20 bucks when they loan is done so that's why i took it. also my pmt didn't change. and it's always good to have a lower rate because if i decide to pay a little extra that will help pay it off quicker:)
so total price was 29831 for me. 5.85 interest rate for 60 months.
Money down: 8000
taxes: 1864.38
misc fees: 239(ttl, legit stuff)
total price including taxes and fees: 31934.93
amount financed 23933
total finance charge: 3781
pmts will be 462 for 60 months
keys to making this deal. vehicle was already "marked down" to 30400 and the reason was it had been there 200+ days and nobody paid attention to it. they wanted to move the unit and i showed up with pre approved financed, a good down payment and made very clear the fact that i was a serious buy, you can make a sale today or someone else will. i also showed up late in the day and had been communicating with my sales person first 2 months before and then the whole week prior. they beat the rate capital one offered me barely. the deal was made after 3 trips to the MANAGER BY THE sales guy. at 9:30 at night. we walked out at 11:30 pm and went on a joy ride with the kids, watching a movie.
btw, leave the kids at home, that's what we did. also make sure you and your wife have a game plan. only time my woman talked was right before the deal was finalize when she said "she didn't like the price" the longer a unit been there the more they want to move it.
finance guy show me a profit report that said the dealer lost 19 cents on the deal. i'm sure they made money somehow. but who cares, i got a better than expected deal on a van with the dvd...yah baby!! hope this helps anyone looking to buy!
thanks guys
ps i'm below kbb, edmunds tmv and cars direct's price and barely above invoice without accessories.
Also, anyone have any idea what the incentives could be?
thanks
