$2000 dealer cash incentive is being passed on to cash buyers.
-ss
I met with Autopark Honda , Cary NC.
The EX price quote was $24726(offering only $1400 of
the kickback). The EX-L was $26847. All the fees
are in addition (398 for doc, 74 fr regist, 3% NC tax).
Leigh Honda(Raleigh) is offering the EX for $25939 (OTD).
I think this is higher than the Autopark honda pricing.
Can the person that received the deal from the N.Va
dealer reply to me please?
Along with the contact for the sales person.?
w4vku{at}yahoo.com. Please replace {at} with @.
I have checked with Fairfax Honda. Their pricing was not
attractive. I have purchased vehicles from them in the
past 10 years.
Procrastination can be good at times
No more thoughts about the Toyota Sienna LE (with Opt#3).
The Odyssey is priced lower than $2k for comparable
features.
Thanks

Who did you deal with at Diamond Bar Honda? Is it the Internet Manager? Please advise. Thanks.
Thank you

(forum said don't mention name
I spoke to him today, and he said they have over 100 odysseys in stock, so selection should not be an issue. I would think we would all need to buy this week, so contact me asap.
Looking to replace Pontiac Montana.
Looking to buy EX-L RES very soon. Replacing Pontiac Montana.
I am just a bit irritated and disguested that they are offering a $2000 incentive and I could have obtained; especially since I took the delivery on 8-11-07.
The pricing was the lowest offered to me over the phone almost by $800 compared to other nearby dealers and hence I made the decision to buy from Autosport. Since the price quoted over the phone was what was offered when I went, the buying experience was smooth.
I wish I had waited another day and negotiated further down....... I cant help but to loose a few days of sleep over this.
This forum was extremly helpful. Thanks!
Congrats.
I have sent you an email. Count me in.
Please check on both the EX & EX-L trim levels.
I can purchase today or wednesday. Also you may want to
get the exact dealership "pay to" information for
the cashiers check. I heard that they will run a credit
check otherwise if we show up with a personal check.
People,
The best price so far is from the honda dealer in
woodbridge, VA. The pricing difference between
Autopark Honda in Cary, NC to wood bridge , VA is about
$300 or so on the Ex. The difference is about $550 on
the EX-L.
If chuck can pull this off, it will be additional savings
ontop of the above discounts.

Here is the calculation that I cobbled together after quizzing various dealers. I'd like to get some help to identify the real calculation, since this probably won't be the last honda that I buy. Sorry if it's not formatted well.
Invoice Price 28693
Paint sealant 136
Pin stripe 20
Mud guards 127
Dealer incentive -2000
Holdback -622
HTB -466
Car net 25888
extra profit 172
Car gross 26060
Tax 782
Tag 69
Processing 299
Grand total 27209
I began correspondence with over 10 dealerships last Thursday. Received very good quotes right of the bat from Castle Honda. Also received several email from dealers as soon as the new promotion was announced. Several dealers were in the 28k range including destination plus TTL. Most came down to the 27k and some the 26k range after I mentioned the 2k cash incentive and some back and forth all via email.
Saturday morning I sent a request for a quote to Honda on Grand in Elmhurst as well as a few other dealerships. They responded right away with a quote for 25,750 including destination. I mentioned the quote I had received from Castle and the salesman offered to beat it right away At that point we switched to OTD price and agreed on $27,500 on the phone. That came to 25,562 when all was said and done.
Unfortunately I forgot to mention mud flaps and cross bar options I wanted before agreeing to the deal. They started quoting full prices for the options with installation at that point
In any case I went in to pick up the car Saturday afternoon, half unsure the deal was for real. Sure enough the car was waiting for us in the shade when we arrived and ready for a test drive.
I must say that my experience with Honda on Grand was the most pleasant experience I’ve ever had in purchasing a new car. The salesman I worked with was a gentleman and a pleasure to work with. No pressure, sneaky tactics, an overall really nice guy.
He showed me everything about the car, much of which I knew, but several things I didn’t. He then completed the paperwork, offered additional warrantees with no pressure which I refused, and we were done and I was on my may. He called me again this morning to find out if I had any questions and if the car was ok.
If anyone would like the name of the salesman dealt I worked with at Grand, respond to this with your email address and I will respond since the list forbids us from mentioning names.
This forum has been a great help to me over the last year as I’ve procrastinated with a purchase. I hope you find this information helpful too and wish you all luck with your purchases.
Thank you

Vann York - OK
Crown - shady reputation, but good overall price + 6 free details, visor, muds, pin stripe all thrown in.
Concord - best internet experience - sales rep was out of town when I purchased
Flow - straightforward, not the best price
John Hoover - straightforward, best price on in-stock vehicle, limited selection (although dealers admitted they don't charge each other for transferring vehicle - I imagine they do pay for transport and gas)
Asheboro - seemed honest, but couldn't get close to the price. (See my earlier post on the pricing)
Gerry Wood - eventually got close on the price, but didn't have the color I wanted. The internet rep didn't even discuss pricing when I visited the dealer, I went straight to the manager.
In this market, you MUST call to discuss pricing. The internet reps are very poor responders, and don't move the price as much as a phone call. Also, the sales Manager (at the main desk) is the guy who will adjust the price. I've seen that the price won't move much at each increment, but you must be patient and keep working with each dealer. All will ask 'what do I need to do to earn your business'. That is where you name your price and walk if it doesn't get there. I was ready to buy on the day before the dealer incentive was announced. I knew about it before some of the sales reps at some dealers! This is a great time to buy, and I agree with an earlier poster that the inventory will shrink or disappear before labor day.
I love negotiating car prices. A lot of folks dread it, but I enjoyed putting the pieces together. I hope some of the other posters can help me with the cost breakdown I posted earlier.
The EX color choices are diminishing.
I have checked with a dealer in Charlotte. They were left
with only EXL.
The Sanford Honda (NC) dealer had only white/Red EX.
They were left with just 1 light blue EXL.
The Autopark Honda, Cary NC dealer had gray/white/beige
EX and no light blue EX. Anyway, i got the following
pricing quotes.
Sanford Honda
-------------
EX - 25255 Final OTD price.
FYI, their doc prep is $289 and the Registration is $88.
EXL - 27462 Final OTD price.
Autopark Honda, Cary NC
-------------
EX - 25255 + 99 (OTD)
EXL - $27561 OTD (I purchased one for this price today).
OTD is the price that i wrote my final check amount for.
Never took any extra options. The minivan came with
floor mats
I am sure you can make Autopark match Sanford Honda prices.
Any questions? drop me an email - w4vku{at}yahoo{dot}com
Good luck

Costco and carsdirect.com were around $28300-$28500. A couple other dealers weren't willing to go this low, so I think it's a good price.
Total price was $30121.
