What dealer gave you that quote? There is another person who also wants to know. Thanks again.
Amazing price. Congratulations!
yes you are right the invoice in California (including Destination charges) for 2WD EX-L with Nav is around 31,179. I paid exactly 33000.00 out the door. The tax and license in Orange County comes to about 10% of the purchase price. So what I paid for the car is about 30,079.00 and the rest was tax an license. And that makes the car price $1100 Below Invoice. Please let me know if any of you got anything a whole lot better.
Thanks.
Here’s the deal......
2WD EX-L $29,000 includes destination charge
Tax 8.1% 2,349
License 544
Doc Fee 107
Out the Door $32,000
Looks like I got it for $200 under invoice. Included driver/pass window tint, paint protection (?), door edge guards, wheel moldings, pin stripe & cargo mat.
Leased thru AHFC for 36mons, 15K per year, residual $16,845, monthly lease payment $394 (includes tax), .20/mi excess & $1500 down. I intend to keep vehicle for at least 5yrs & was going to purchase, but even at 5.75% interest rate, leasing then buying was a little bit cheaper overall. $16,845 + tax + lic is price at end of lease.
No wind noise at 70-75, moon roof noise is better than on my Acura TL w/the moon roof shield (Pilot is pretty quite actually), no vibrations at high speeds, only thing I noticed is compass is off, but I think I need to calibrate. Fit & finish is very good.
As others have said on here, would like to see illuminated steering wheel radio/cruise buttons & auto dim mirror standard on this model.
Previous SUV was Explorer XLT with no complaints, mechanically sound & I did sell privately. Feels like Pilot is same size/slightly bigger cargo capacity than Explorer.
I researched this model comparing to Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer and I believe for the price, this is the best value by far with predicted reliability and depreciation better than most models (Toyota is in this category as well). Found Highlander & Pilot to be comparable, but price wise feel you get more bang for the buck from Honda.
Deal essentially completed over internet, met one time with dealer for a little haggling (i.e.: n/c for tint, stripe, etc & throw in cargo mat), then again to sign & drive off.
Pleased with experience. First time purchasing car via net; will do so again! Information on this board was a tremendous help in determining where I was deal wise.
2006 EX Pilot OTD $30550.00 (includes read splash guards).
I'm curious what your total out the door (OTD) price was for the EX-L RES 4WD that you made mention of in your post (including all applicable DOC, REGISTRATION, LICENSING FEES ETC)? Thanks for your assistance.
Anybody else out there with any 2006 OTD prices on Honda EX (CLOTH) 4wd piolot (PREFERABLY THOSE THAT HAVE DEALT IN AZ).
THANKS
Your response is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Actually, I am also considering buying from LA (going there President's week-end). Buena Park Honda quoted me 300 over invoice, not sure what color or if they have it in stock (just an internet quote). Feel free to check them out (as long as you don't buy the only one they have ;-)).
I am in no rush, but my wife's birthday is mid-March so I am guessing this one will be her birthday present...

Thanks for all your messages. Was very helpful to me and my wife in deciding and negotiating on a Pilot. We got the vehicle on saturday and took delivery this monday from Honda dealer in MD(baltimore/silverspring/college park area). We got the 2006 EX-L 4WD Sagebrush with Gray. The dealer quoted a price of 29280 including freight (basically 1000 below invoice and a freight of 550). Added back splash guards, wheel locks and pinstipes for another 200,49 processing fee and with taxes and all that came to 31,250 out of the door. Fair deal.....called around 10 dealers in the area and visited around 4, but no one even came close to this price.

I've begun my shopping of all the dealers in the state and the best price I have received so far was $31,065, but another dealer said they'd beat that by $200. So, I'm still at $30,865 (about $1000 above where I'd like to be).
Anyone have any suggestions or alternative dealers in CO, ID, NV to check on? Thanks!
Thanks
Atamian Honda, Tewksbury, $29922 + 204 doc fee.
Peter's Honda Nashua NH, $29780 + 170 doc fee.
Herb Chambers, Burlington, 29000 + 198 doc fee + 550 dest charge.
I'll keep you up to date with other quotes I get. If you could do the same that would be great!!
Any feedback on the quote? Should I wait little to get a better deal?
Thanks
Boch Honda on the Automile in MASS: 06 EXL AWD $29,588 (includes dest and doc fee)
Commonwealth in Lawrence wouldn't give me a quote but told me to give them a number and they would call me back. I told them $1600 under invoice which would be $28,700. They never called back.
I will check them out this weekend and keep you posted
I got these 3 quotes that I thought I would share. I didn't go to any dealers but instead bought it through my credit union. There was no hidden charges. Here are the quotes I received (color can be silver or white):
LX:
MSRP: $27545.00
Credit union price was $24,294.00
EX-L (The one I actually bought):
MSRP: $ 33,395.00
Credit union price was $29,990
EX-cloth:
MSRP: $30,995
Credit union price was $27,135
All were around 500-1000 below invoice.
That price on the LX was the the 4WD or 2WD model. Looks like it was a bargain. I'm going to check into credit unions around here. Thanks for the advice.
I called yesterday afternoon and found the one I wanted for almost $1,000 under invoice. I'm having them deliver it to my wife's work today. Definitely the best car buying experience I've had. I did this same thing with my truck last summer.
After hanging around this forum since before Christmas, I finally bought my wife her 06 EX-L AWD with Nav - makes a nice Valentine's Day gift. She comprised on color (Silver because Sagebrush was impossible to find). And we got a great price - 31700 (+ the CA standard fees, 45 doc + 8.75 tire + tax + tags).
That's 557 below invoice on the 4WD EX-L with Nav. I feel lucky to get this deal given how scarce these cars seem to be in NorCal - many other dealers quoted me 1K above invoice last week-end. I finally got a great deal from the internet department at Capitol Honda. And it was a great no-hassle deal - no pressure, no pushy attempts to sell me accesories at inflated prices, no high-pressure sell of extended warranty - just what you want the buying experience to be.
Now I have to figure out how to get the voice-activated Nav working, before our trip down to LA this week-end (although I doubt I will get a chance to drive ;-)).
BTW - I have a quote of 1181 for the 8 year, 100K extended (0 deductible) warranty from hondawarrantyinfo.com. The dealer could not match this price. Has anybody received a better deal ?
