    Does anyone know how the Nav compares to a current Magellan or Garmin GPS unit? Does it have the Points of interest like the GPS's units? I don't think I would normally get the Nav, but wih another little one on the way, I like the safety of the backup camera.

    I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 350 a few weeks ago and a new Odyssey with Nav at the same time. I've used both systems extensively. I also have a factory navigation system on a Toyota.

    The Honda Odyssey Nav is excellent, and I would probably rate it much higher than the Garmin in most categories, even though you can get a good late-model Garmin for under $500. The factory Honda is also much better than my factory Toyota ('06). However, some of the maps are better on the Garmin than the Honda. The Honda Nav is voice-activated and this feature works very well. The Honda also has a HUGE screen compared to the Garmin. The Garmin is great and the maps are better than Honda, but the Honda's size and voice-activation, along with being integrated with the A/C system, etc., makes the Honda Nav far more desirable to me. No hanging wires, etc., is a huge plus. You can get aftermarket nav systems with comparable size, etc., but the price goes way up. An aftermarket integrated system costs about the same as the factory option.

    The backup camera is also super. The Odyssey is the second car that I have bought recently with this feature and I couldn't imagine buying another car without it. I have two small children that leave toys in the garage, driveway, etc., so it is great for me. Plus, once you get used to it and have a feel for the distance, it is nearly impossible to back into another car, pole, mailbox, etc., as long as you are paying attention. The backup camera even works great in the dark. I put an aftermarket backup camera on a truck and there is no comparison to the factory camera when it comes to the size of the screen and the integration factor.

    Sorry, I did not get a price on anything other than the EX-L RES NAV we were interested in.
  • cj31cj31 Member Posts: 21
    Thanks tpalmer for the great review! Does the Honda have POI's like the Garmin? I just got a Magellan a month ago, and find myself using the POI all the time to find restaurants & gas. Thanks again
  • tpalmer1tpalmer1 Member Posts: 19
    I'm sorry, I forgot to add that point. Yes, Honda has extensive POI's comparable to Garmin.

    I'm looking to bug a Odyssey EX in bay area. If anybody has bought similar vehicle, please share out of door cost. I'm getting quotes for abt $ 28.4 K. Is that too high ?
  • laurava01laurava01 Member Posts: 4
    To me that seems high- I live in DC area- I was quoted $28K OTD for an ex-l.. 29.3K with RES..

    maybe the bay area is different..

    In December 2006 I purchased a used 04 EX with leather. It had 38,000 miles and had been leased for 2 years. It was in near new condition, absolutely beautiful. We paid $17,900. (Contra Costa Auto, Oakley CA)

    I'm happy to take 'slightly used' for 10 Grand in savings. These folks give GREAT service. We're having engine troubles right now, I'm not too pleased with Honda, but these 'Used Car Salesmen' have jumped right in to help us out. I'll buy from them again.
  • nitropupnitropup Member Posts: 4
    Hi, is there any way you can send me a copy of your quote? My local dealerships will only match it if I can show proof of the quote. My email address is: spamforcc@yahoo.com. Thank you!

  • intradeintrade Member Posts: 11

    Thanks
  • intradeintrade Member Posts: 11
    I am trying to buy an EX 2007, the lowest OTD quote I got so far is $28300.

    I believe it is a little high, does anyone get better price.

    By the way, I live in Florida.

    Thanks
  • intradeintrade Member Posts: 11
    I am sorry, but forgot my email address.

    Could you please send me a copy of the quote you got for an EX-L. It might help me to get a better deal, I am trying to get an EX, and the lowest OTD price is $28300.

    My email address is ylee@tqs.com

    Thanks
  • mav8mav8 Member Posts: 6
    I'm planning to buy Ody EX-L/RES & NAV in NJ, so far $31,094 is the best price I got not including destination, tax, lic etc.. Let me know if it's a good price.
  • cj31cj31 Member Posts: 21
    Laurava - I am in DC as well. Can you clarify if that was last month when the 750 dealer cash was still avaiable? Where were you quoted that price? Can you give a quick breakdown?
    Thanks!
  • fromsuv2vanfromsuv2van Member Posts: 15
    That's a high price for 07 Odyssey EX. Here in Los Angeles, I got quote of $25,200 OTD (excluding tax and vehicle registration) for EX with mud guards, cargo tray, and wheel lock. I accepted the offer and bought it 7/13/07. Price vary in different region but should not be $3000 difference.
    I will email you the quote I got. Good luck.
  • cj31cj31 Member Posts: 21
    It seems like it would be best for everyone to post prices before tax & tags (or at least give a breakdown). Since taxes vary widely from state to state, OTD prices will too. I know even from VA to MD, it varies about $600 in taxes alone (5% v 3%), and is higher in CA, right?

    Just a thought.
  • sfdudesfdude Member Posts: 3
    Hi fromsuv2van:

    Does 25200 include destination charge ? Dealers are asking for $ 600 extra for destination charge
  • fromsuv2vanfromsuv2van Member Posts: 15
    Yes it does.....I paid 25,200 for 07 (Jun 07 built date) Odyssey (slate green metallic) then tax then vehicle registration and that's it. The van comes with mud flaps, cargo tray, and wheel locks (those 3 things are optional items but are included in the $25.2K price)
  • fboyle1fboyle1 Member Posts: 3
    i agree OTD COST VARY EVERYWHERE.
  • intradeintrade Member Posts: 11
    People, this is the quote I got from a dealer, so I am amazed with those low price some people are getting.

    Selling price 26,174.00

    Trade Value 0.00
    Dealer Fee 599.95
    Taxable Subtotal 26,773.95
    Tax 1,631.44
    Tag/Title/Govt Fees 258.50
    Payoff of Trade-In 0.00
    Total 28,663.89


    Do you think this is too high?
    I know the dealer cash incentives is gone. I tried hard to lower the price, but the final price I got so far is $28300

    Thanks a lot
  • rdzrdz Member Posts: 5
    Honda announced some cosmetic changes for the 08 which will be released soon - that coupled with a slump in 07 Odyssey sales might equal some clearance incentives in the coming months.

    Any thoughts?
  • cj31cj31 Member Posts: 21
    I'm not in a hurry so I'm waiting until August to see what happens. I'm guessing they won't bring it back, but I'm not too picky about colors, so it can't hurt to wait.
  • cj31cj31 Member Posts: 21
    I think the 750 and tax difference explains most of the difference. I assume the "selling price" includes destination ($595). Invoice on an EX is 26,584 (with dest), so if you take off the $363 (from 28663 to 28300)before tax & title, it looks like you are about $775 below invoice if my numbers are correct. I assume the dealer fee is a processing fee, and that seems too high, but other than that, it's not terrible.

    Taxes on that car would only be $850 in VA.
  • oowieoowie Member Posts: 12
    I will be going to pick up my 07 ody tomorrow. Had to locate the car...took 3 weeks and they picked up an EX-L w/o RES prior to me getting on them about the wrong trim.

    Selling Price-28,499 (this does not include TTL) total price does include dest. charge.

    This was not an easy trip to the Car Guy...because of the long and slow locate. I was not happy that it took so long. We went in on June 28 and will have the ody on July 20th.
  • pfunksspfunkss Member Posts: 1
    Hello everyone,
    I'm in the market for '07 Touring w/dvd/nav. I got a price quote from a dealer in the Bay Area for $35,688. Invoice less destination charge. Not including tax/reg/doc fees. Is that a good price or should I still try to get lower from another dealer????
  • nitropupnitropup Member Posts: 4
    I just purchased my EX-L w/RES & NAVI in Midnight Blue from Bill Page Honda in Falls Church, VA yestereday. It took a bit of work, but I was able to get them to do $32,564 OTD plus 3 free oil changes. Most everyone else in this area would only go as low as $33,000 OTD. The process was quick and painless, would definitely recommend to others.

    Good luck everyone!
  • abolabol Member Posts: 3
    It's taken me awhile to post, but 3 weeks ago, purchased an EX-L from Hendrick Honda in Woodbridge. I did what a lot of posters do here, I asked for internet quotes from several local dealers. The quotes back varied greatly, but Hendrick had the lowest by far, 26,400 + dest.

    26,400 + 595 dest
    399 processing fee (rip-off)
    TTL
    came with pinstripes, wheel locks, mud guards

    didn't get any accessories, or warranty, or undercoating, etc...

    I wasn't overly pleased with what they gave for my trade-in (2000 Ody), but I still feel I got a pretty good deal.
  • cj31cj31 Member Posts: 21
    Hey Nitropup - Can you give a breakdown? processing, taxes, tags, etc?
    Thanks!
  • nitropupnitropup Member Posts: 4
    Sure thing, here you go...

    $31,200 = Car
    $299 = Processing
    $944.97 = VA Tax (3%)
    $53.55 = Dealer License Tax (.17%)
    $46.50 = Tags
    $20 = Title
    ==================================
    $32,564.02 = Out-The-Door Price!!!

    Good Luck!

    BTW = Did anyone purchase the paint and interior protection package? Is it worth it?
  • dsrtrat2dsrtrat2 Member Posts: 223
    Consumer Reports says ixnay on paint and interior protection. They say if you think you need it buy some stuff in a spray can and DIY.

    I wonder what was offered as trade in on the 2000 ODY.
  • msodymsody Member Posts: 1
    Hi abol, can you email me a copy of proof of your quote? We are in the market for 2007 EX-L w/o RES and NAV and the lowest quote we got so far was $29,200 OTD in MD.
    If you can provide me your copy/proof of purchase or quote, the dealer is ready to match it.
    Thanksa lot.
  • sarkansarkan Member Posts: 3
    Okay closing on an EX-L with RES and Nav in Chicagoland area. Looking at $31,698 right now with wheel locks and mudflaps, and dest. charge. What do you guys think? Anybody did/doing better in the chicago area? If so, how much and what dealership?

    :confuse:
  • dashbbdashbb Member Posts: 119
    $500 below Invoice AND 2.9% financing for 36 months at Continental Honda in Countryside, IL. Hope this helps.
  • ckelly14ckelly14 Member Posts: 105
    I just received a bunch of internet quotes in the Triangle NC area. Best was 31,700 for an EX-L NAV/RES. This is about 500 below invoice which seems to be the going rate. I haven't been in to haggle yet; we'll see if I get anywhere. The closest dealer says he'll match the price for something in stock. Above price is vehicle with destination before TTL.

    Anyone have the towing package installed and be willing to post what they paid??
  • quicksilver1quicksilver1 Member Posts: 21
    If you think you will tow, work the towing package in the deal at time of purchase. It's a pain to deal with after wards. I'm finding out the hard way right now.
  • cgdhcgdh Member Posts: 1
    Can you email me the quote? The lowest price I am seeing in the Boston area is
    2007 Odyssey eX minivan $25565

    2007 Odyssey EXL minivan $27721

    Where did you get the 27250?
  • 2lakes2lakes Member Posts: 1
    I just found a website that lists the new design and photos of the 2008 Odyssey. It doesn't list any of the interior changes but here is the exterior. Not sure if I am allowed to post the website so go to worldcarfans and search for the honda odyssey facelift spotted.

    The front grille of the new Odyssey is restyled, with two horizontal bars running across the center of the grille instead of just one, and the overall shape of the grille has been updated, making it look nearly identical to the new grille design just revealed on the 2008 Accord. The under-bumper air scoop is also shaped differently, and the contours of the front end are updated with angled creases on each side of the grille that extend down into the bumper area.

    The rear hatch and tail lights have also been restyled. The clear backup lights and turn signal lights have been moved from the top of the tail lights to the bottom. The center area of the tailgate has also been reshaped, tying into the shape of the tail lights with a horizontal bar running the entire width of the tailgate, just above the license plate cutout.
  • cj31cj31 Member Posts: 21
    cgdh - FYI it looks like he bought his at the end of June, when the $750 dealer cash was still avaiable. So prices will be that much more across the board...unless they bring it back in August (I hope).
  • amounteeamountee Member Posts: 11
    Hi
    This is my first post so I dont know if this question has been asked before. Looking to purchase 2007 EXL with RES and Nav in SE Michigan. I've been looking around and was told that the 2008 will come out on Sep 15. Will I get a better deal if I wait until Sep to buy a 2007 or will the prices not change that much. thanks for your help
  • kpartkpart Member Posts: 7
    I have been trying to get a Odyssey EXL RES in SE michigan, most of the dealers are unresponive , else quoting a price of $30,500 Plus TTL. I am just waiting to get a good deal , but it seems my patience is wearing thin.
  • natsmommynatsmommy Member Posts: 1
    Using the posts here and the negotiating tips online recommended here, we bought the EX-L, no Navi, no DVD, for $29,750 OTD, Santa Ana Honda in SoCal. Breakdown:

    $27,323 price
    $55 Doc Fee
    $2,121.80 Sales Tax (Southern California)
    Licensing $242
    Cal Tire Fees (?) $8.75

    We shopped around online and got some internet offers, then went to see 2 of the best email deals we received and went from there.

    We also got the 2.9% 36 month financing special for the nationwide "honda 2007 Clearance" event. They also have 4.9% for 60 months. On approved credit, of course, and we had to ask (insist) for it.

    We read up on what tactics to expect during the "negotiating process" but we were still kind of shocked at some of the things people at various dealerships tried to pull while we were shopping around. I don't know what would have happened if we weren't prepared. Beware. :mad:

    Our experience at Santa Ana Honda was overall satisfactory, the internet salesman we dealt with was pretty straightforward and didn't try to change things on us after getting us in the door. 3-4 hours well spent on a Saturday. I hope we don't have to do this again for awhile. Completed the purchase after 1 week of intensive research and after test driving the Honda, Toyota and a few others. Good luck out there.

    Hey ckelly14,

    I don't know where Triangle, NC is...but if you are near Danville, VA (20 min. from Greensboro, NC) the dealership there gave me a quote of $33,000 OTD for VA. This makes the car price about $31,000. Look up John Hoover Honda in Danville, VA.

    Good luck!
  • sarkansarkan Member Posts: 3
    Okay here is my breakdown from Community Honda in Orland Park. The added accessories were Tow Package ($1,211), Wheel Locks, and Mud Flaps (both for $268).

    St. Tax - $2,114.00
    County use tax - $226.48
    County tax - $15.00
    License - $80.00
    Doc fee - $58.48
    OTD total - $32,632.96

    neg. price $31,153
  • amounteeamountee Member Posts: 11
    i guess i should of worded my question better. Will there be a significant price difference in the 2007 models when the 2008s are on the lot. In significant Im thinking will the 2007 price be lower $1000 or more between buying now and buying in September. What can I expect?
  • cj31cj31 Member Posts: 21
    Prices should be a little better, but I'm not sure it will be another 1k. Maybe another $300-500 less than current pricing depending on how many are left. But you also run the risk of not getting the trim level/colors you want. If you are not picky, it can't hurt to wait.
  • fqadrifqadri Member Posts: 2
    Does anyone know any future honda clearance incentive on Odyssey coming up?
  • cccompsoncccompson Member Posts: 2,382
    Only Honda knows...and they're not saying.

    Given that incentives have recently been reduced, it seems unlikely they'll be sweetened any time soon.
