Couldn't get you e-mail to work. Could you list dealers in a post here?
as far as safety goes, i am not a lawyer but i think as long as you stay to a dealer that does shipping often and is in good standing in these forums, i think you should be fine.
i purchased from jay honda in cleveland ( internet guy, dennis jenkins ). from what i read in online forums and from my exchanges with them, they do alot of shipping to other states. they have honda presidents award for 1999 and 2000 ( dont know why not for 2001 ).
my vehicle is due monday afternoon and i will post again to let you know how it went. but as of right now, i have the drivers name, cell phone number and eta and dennis has been keeping me fully informed throughout the entire transaction.
others have posted postive experiences with dennis and good prices from his dealership.
good hunting.
thank you for the information...how much did u get off the MSRP if you don't mind me asking. Hopefully everything will go ok for you goodluck...

I got the sense that Gus will do this deal so long as you take delivery by 12/31. The ONLY pressure from him was that I had
to take delivery by 12/31 to get this price - but he didnt have my color until today! They don't take deposits - first come, first served. So be ready to buy.

why are you angry at the dealers? If it's because they acted unprofessional, then I can understand. But if it's about the price they are charging, then you shouldn't let it get to you. If you had a product to sell, wouldn't you try and get the highest dollar amount possible for it?
It's all about supply and demand and economics 101. If the NY/NJ dealers can get MSRP or close to it for a Pilot, good for them. From their perspective, if you don't buy it, they will say fine and move on to the next person on the waiting list. If they find they can’t get that price then of course they’ll have to lower it at some point. If you have to blame someone, pick on Honda. They do a nice job of creating situations like this by limiting production. You as the consumer used your right to shop around and you found a great price. So don't waste your time on the negative (NY/NJ dealers), but focus on the positive (letting us know who is selling for less). I for one appreciated the tips!
Just bought a new pilot from John and no issues. Gave me the best price. Tried to by the Highlander but all "T" dealers really bad. I also walk out of two Honda Dealers in Ohio. I guess it all depends on who you see and what mood they are in. I got a Honda Pilot with leather, wood trim, running boards, cover for the back, day night mirror,fog lights for $32,000.
i think if we had a sit down with brian125, we would see his adventures are probably no less painful then most of us but brian125 just has the nyc area attitude expressed in his writings.
Thanks for everyone help. I got my Honda Pilot EX Leather for $1700 off MSRP in Texas.

Thanks for everyone help. I got my Honda Pilot EX Leather for $1700 off MSRP in Texas.
For the past 3-4 months I have been steadily looking for a new vehicle. I had a few must haves for my next vehicle. Must seat at least 7. Must have rear A/C and Heat. Must have full power and Cd. Must not break the bank. I considered everything from the new XC90 to the Kia Sedona. The finalists for me were as follows Ford Expedition (03) and Explorer, MDX, MPV, Honda Pilot and Odyssey. I came really close to pulling the trigger on a Pilot and Expedition but walked away at the last minute. First why I didn't choose the others.
Ford Expedition:
I actually liked this the best. It had a lot of room and features not available on others. Safety Canopy, Rear back up sensors in dash 6 disc player and more on the Eddie Bauer. The bad part was price, gas mileage and resale value. I think the reliabilty would be ok it is the most reliable full size SUV and the Expedition board has not posted of many problems. The resale really killed it and the fact that this would be my second car I couldn't justify paying 35k+ for it.
Ford Explorer:
I liked this too. Rented one and was very impressed. The third row wasn't usable enough for me and the resale on these are horrendous. I don't keep cars more than 3 yrs so resale is a big thing. I have office mates that have had bad experiences with explorers also so I stayed away.
Acura MDX:
Before Driving the Expedition this was my favorite. It was safe seated 7 and a luxury vehicle and nameplate. What killed it for me was pricing I refused to pay MSRP and this vehicle would have been 10k more than the vehicle I bought with almost the same powertrain. Sorry I don't have cash to throw away like that.
Honda Pilot:
Nice truck but the styling is very bland and the third row seat is pretty tight. Even though I could get a decent price it would have been 3-5k more than the oddy and just not worth it.
MPV:
I think resale value and size kind of killed it for me it is a nice van. I may have paid 2500 more for the oddy but I think I will see that on the back end.
Odyssey:
My wife and I are pretty young and felt that we weren't ready for minivan life. But having two kids and a house told us we were. The odyssey had the best blend of what we liked of the other vehicles. Almost all the same features of the pilot minus awd plus more room and cargo space. The Oddy almost offers as much room as the expedition and will probably get better gas mileage than my current car. Add in the fact that I got a good price and 3.49% financing I would have been dumb not to take it. Below is a break down of what I paid. I probably paid 3-400 more than I should have but I got the exact color and features I wanted right now with no wait. I purchased at gillman honda in Houston.
MSRP of Midnight Blue Pearl EX - 27360
Sealant side sticker of 695 (refused to pay this)
Purchase Price - 25671
Tax (6.25%)- 1604.45
Title, license, doc and misc - 176
Vin etching and security system - 299
Gap Insurance - 302
Total out the door price is right at 28000
I was offered a 6yr/80k mile warranty for 1195. I agreed at first but will cancel and buy a honda care warranty off the net if needed but like I said I usually don't keep vehicles more than 3 yrs so this will be a waste. I also received 3.49% for 60 months. All in all I think it was a good deal.

where in texas?? In south Louisiana was offered $1500 off EX-L because repeat buyer and help from friend of GM. Thought about traveling to Houston to try deal.
I have a 97 Accord 120,000. Have had continued problems with sensor light coming on, but dealer is still repairing under warranty. Also, window motor at driver side hasn't worked in a while and always was a problem. Hope that's not the case with the Pilot.
I'm used to my Suburban, but think the Pilot good option for wife, although I like the 4runner and sequouia too. Any comments on Pilot vs Toyotas?
Thanks
I am looking for a Pilot EX-L with Leather and
DVD in Chicago area. What do you think is a fair
price?
Also, how do you think I can bargain better,
given that these are selling like "hotcakes"?

Thank you for your help.
Try Dan at Friendly Honda, I order my EX-L with Nav for $2,266 off the MSRP in Sep. However, I'm STILL WAITING FOR MY PILOT!! My delivery date was set for Dec 24th. But, they just told me it's not going to get built until Dec 31st for whatever reason. (I hope there will not be a workmanship concern). As for the big surprise that I promised my wife for this Christmas, a sale receipt and a picture I printed from Edmund. This is the only Christmas there are nothing under the tree or in the garage for my wife since we got married 15 years ago. I really should have a back-up plan. Man, I hope the day is getting better. Marry Christmas to you all.
