I am living in south FL and looking for a Pilot LX. Could you please tell me from which dealer you got the offer? Thanks a lot!
finally got one from sunnyvale ca.
it was not the best deal, but i think it did a reasonable deal with very kind sales person.
in detail, ex-l 2wd w/o navi.
msrp 32,540
deal 25,900 including destination charge.
+tax, license fee and document fee = 28,340 OTD
Thanks
Fred
$26,499 (below invoice, includes destination)
+ $699 (running boards)
+ $235 (cross bars for roof)
+ 8.25% CA tax
+ fees
Total $30,007 OTD.
I declined LoJack (negotiated to $1100), 7 yr. extended warranty (got them down to $1200 with AAA pricing), interior/exerior protection, gap insurance ($395), etc. Maybe a little risk with the short 3 year warranty, but I trust Hondas & won't park in shady areas.
I've been looking at Pilots (and been quoted) for about 2 weeks & this guy (Henry, internet & fleet sales) beat the rock bottom by $400+. He gave a quote over the phone, then no b/s or change of plans when I arrived, he even drove to the competing dealer to get me the color I wanted the same day, and stayed late on a Sunday to be sure we walked away with our car that day.
I went to another dealer (Concord Honda) earlier in the day who kept me on the lot for 1 hour after all I asked for was to see 2 different colored Pilots side by side before I make any decisions. I got the run around through 3 of their different lots while he was selling me on features I initially said I didn't want (I was very specific to them...but it was like in one ear, out the other). I never ended up seeing the color I wanted because they never had it.
Based on my range of experiences, which gave me good perspective, I would highly recommend Livemore Honda for their internet pricing and no hassle sales.
Holman Honda of Fort Lauderdale: $20,988, or $22,858.11 OTD
Brickell Motors "NEW 2007 Honda Pilot LX; Retail Price $ 28,840.00 Internet Price $21,243.00" (before taxes and fees)
Potamkin Honda: “We guarantee to beat any price from any dealer as long as you bring it to me in writing”.
So you have a competitive number to work with the Honda LX 2 WD without tax, tag and fees is....$21,638.96 your choice of colors.
Coral Springs Honda didn’t give me a quote but promised to beat other quotes.
Maroone Honda’s lowest OTD price was $23,349.
Started with Sherwood Honda, but since I was trying to get the best price for my trade in, I shopped around for a while. If you don’t have a trade in and have cash on hand it’s easy: get as many quotes as you can via email from internet sales managers (submit quote requests from http://automobiles.honda.com/pilot/ or other sites) and then play dealers asking to beat each other’s quote. If you have a trade in, the game continues: have your blue-book trade in value printouts ready. Once they offer less than half for your old car, negotiate and be ready to walk out. Most likely they will up the offer at the door or will give you a call soon after. See other dealers if you have the rest of the day free. Of course, make sure the dealer has the vehicle he’s promising in stock (get vin #s). Read other posts in this group – it helped me a lot. And since I already got my Pilot, I will be lurking in the accessories group now. Good luck

Hi, Pilot_or_toy:
I am living in south FL and looking for a Pilot LX. Could you please tell me from which dealer you got the offer? Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for the details you provided! I am going to get quote now...
which dealer give you that quote?
who did you deal with in menlo honda. thank
The price excludes freight ($595), doc fee ($487), tax (6 or 7%), and title / Ga Lemon Law ($21). :confuse:
There is a salesperson there that I spoke with and emailed me a quote if interested you can email me and I'll forward the info.
Another great place that I found in TX to work with (keep in mind I didn't actually complete the trasaction) was Goodson Honda West (Houston) and I'd agree with the other post that Gunn Honda in San Antonio has agressive pricing as well. Good luck Pilot buyers...these deals are just killing living up here in WA!!!
Opinions on that price? Good deal? Mediocre?
thanks,
I have been to the following dealer and received the following quotes:
Valley Honda
EX 2x4 - 23,551
LX 4x4 - 22,446
LX 2x4 - 21,397
Napelton Honda
EX 4x4 24,552.9
River Oaks Honda
EX-L 4x4 - 28,163
Countryside Honda
LX 4x4 - 22,313
EX 4x4 - 24,617
City Honda
EX 4x4 - 24,618
Any feedback or other prices that have been found would be appreciates. I am leaning toward the Countryside Honda EX 4x4.
Thanks,
Matt (matthew_tibble@yahoo.com)
I ended up getting an EX 2WD for $23,343 plus TTL (no surprises) at Joliet Honda. Also, I could have went with the 4WD it was in the range of the quotes you received.

However 4WD Pilots are just about gone in Georgia. Less than 20 in whole state left.
At first I did not want gray, wanted blue or silver, but the gray grew on me, and we went with it instead.
I recommend Team Honda in Litha Springs. They are far above any dealer I have ever dealt with.

>>Honda does not have cash back to customers. What they had >>on the Pilot was $3500 cash incentives to the dealer. >>This money is included in your negotiated price. In some >>ways this is better than cash back, as the customer does >>not have to pay tax on it. However this does not mean >>that the dealer could not have given a slightly better >>price. That is always possible.
>>hsinc98
Someone said that last year there was $3500 dealer incentive AND low apr - do you get just one or can you combine them (yes, I know it's up to the dealer whether and how much of their incentive they'll pass on).
Many thanks - I'm thinking of waiting until the beginning of August to see if anything new comes up.
drabby silver
slightly better gray
black
So, if you have been waiting, might not want to wait too much longer since the 3500 incentive is making lots of sales and the dealers want to move the 2007s now because the 2008s are hitting their lots.
This isn't sitting right with me -- Does this sound reasonable to anyone else? At first he was telling me they should get it in 3-5 days. What's really going on??
I requested quotes for a 2007 EXL 4WD from multiple dealers. In my request for quotes, I stated ‘I would like to purchase a 2007 Pilot as soon as possible. (White EXL 4x4 is pref.) This is a cash transaction with no trade, I am contacting as many dealers as necessary in order to obtain the best price. My desire is to pay Invoice + TTL (or less). Please contact me, if interested.’ The results of my quote requests were:
• Honda of Concord - $26,727 + 399 doc. + TTL. They had 8 of this model/trim level in stock. This dealership contacted me immediately.
• Leith Honda of Raleigh - Quoted no actual price, stated 'We are willing to do $200 under invoice. But we only have Dark Cherry left in the 2007 model.'
• Asheboro Honda – $26,990 + TTL. They did not indicate what their available 2007 stock was.
• Hendrick Honda of Charlotte – 27,811 + $399 doc + TTL, OTD of $29,113.33.
• Honda Cars Rock Hill – ‘I do not have a white Pilot EXL 4x4 in stock. I can sell an in stock Pilot for 29000 + tax, tag, and doc fee. If this will work for you let me know.’
• AutoPark Honda in Cary – ‘I don’t have this car. I probably can’t get it for you either.’
• Honda of Lake Norman – Received quote of $25,995 + destination fee + TTL + doc fee + dealer installed accessories. Limited to available stock. The OTD price would be $27,862 and includes mud flaps and wheel locks. I received this quote after I already made my purchase.
• Gerry Wood Honda – Received an email: ‘Thank you for giving us a opportunity to earn your business. What trim level are you looking for? LX, EX, EX-L, EX-L RES, or EX-L R&N? Please advise so I can give you a quote. ‘. I guess that they didn’t read my request.
• Everhart Honda – I received a reply that they had received my request, but I never received a quote.
• Burlington Honda – Received an email: ‘we are out of 2007 Pilots, and as they are getting pretty scarce everywhere, obtaining one from another dealer may not be possible.’
• Van York Honda – No reply to my request.
• John Hoover Honda – No reply to my request.
• Nelson Honda – No reply to my request.
• Tim Marburger Honda – Unable to request a quote online. The website was not accessible.
• Sanford Honda - Unable to request a quote online. The website was not accessible.
• Steve Jones Honda – No reply to my request.
In order to get the deal that I wanted, I had to contact as many dealers as I could and then wait to hear back from them. I took this approach because the Honda dealer which I previously purchased from was unwilling to give me a fair deal. I purchased a new S2000 in 2005 from Flow Honda in Winston-Salem. I contacted them initially and was given a quote of $28,118.00 + $399 doc + TTL (OTD of $29,433.54). I informed them that I thought that this amount was too much. They then offered a second quote of $27,408 00 + $399 doc + TTL (OTD of $28,702.24). I sent an email reply to this second quote and I told them that I thought that this was still too much. I explained that I felt that I should be able to obtain this ‘close-out’ vehicle at or near the invoice price, not $700 above invoice. Several minutes after I sent the reply to their second offer, I received a call from the general manager of the dealership. He told me, in a very unkind way, that his dealership was in business for profit and that he would not sell for less than his second quoted offer. I’ll keep my personal thoughts regarding the general manager and his actions to myself, but I will say that he and his dealership are not interested in offering a fair deal to informed consumers and that I will have no further dealings with Flow Honda of Winston-Salem, for purchases or servicing, in the future.
The good that came from what happened is it led me to perform a more extensive search for the vehicle. I was able to locate, receive a fair quote and agree to purchase the vehicle within a couple of hours. I did this by simply contacting every Honda dealer, starting with the ones closest to my home and working out in all directions.
I hope that this information helps anyone looking for a 2007 Pilot and I’d like to thank those who have posted their purchase experiences on this forum. The help which I received from Edmunds and this forum made my purchase a pleasure.
A dealer in the Chicago area did that to me to a lesser extent, I dropped them immediately and bought elsewhere.
Just my opinion. I had good luck at honda Superstore of Joliet.
Best wishes.
"I'm buying an EX-L, put a deposit down for a dealer trade to get the color I want and now I'm just WAITING. It's been almost 2 weeks, the salesman said they were short-handed last week. Then "There are 2 managers on this week, so it should be soon. "
This isn't sitting right with me -- Does this sound reasonable to anyone else? At first he was telling me they should get it in 3-5 days. What's really going on?? "
At the discounts they are giving now, some dealers are trying to push some cars out by not showing the buyer all the Pilots they got. Some may actually out of them and not playing these games.
One dealer who gave me a decent quote told me the prices were going up after the 31st. not sure if this is a tactic to get me to buy or the truth. Availability seems to be drying up.
thanks
Hennessey Honda: $27100 DO
Conyers Honda: $27348 DO
All three included Mud Guards and Pin strips.
As far as sales guy telling you about incentives going away on 31st, I cant say, but you should be careful of the sales gimmics. One dealer closest to my house told me to bring my best quote and he will beat it, but would not give me a quote over the email, I X-ed him from the list. After I bought the car another dealer told me he would have included DVD for little more then what I bought my Pilot EX-L for. But his original quote was the 2nd highest of 6 quotes I got.
tax 1,608
title 43
plates 62
inspection fee 24
deputy fee 5
dealer's inv. tax 56
this is off the buyer's order. I don't claim to know what the inspection fee or deputy fees are, and I assume they're fees/taxes peculiar to Texas/Houston, but that's pretty small potatoes as far as I'm concerned. We're thrilled. I think I actually paid less for this Pilot than I did for my 01 EX-L Passport purchased new 6 1/2 years ago!
