I got many quotes.....gwinnet was the fifth highest. All OTD quotes....TTL have been added in. No additional fees on top of this.
By my calculations, your gwinnet place number is 277 lower than mine. Salesman D.L. has stated he cannot go any lower. That 28,769 is his rock bottom most competitive OTD quote.
Yours:28 492.25
Mine: 28 769
anyway, here's my list - all otd prices
~27,836 curry ( might have done that math wrong....he never did give me otd pricing, i'm refiguring it and showing they're even with hennessey)
~27,946 willet including TTL and muds, cargo liner, mats, wheel locks (and they are just good people....gave me the otd number at initial request and included all of the above w/o me asking)
~28,071 hennessey incl muds/mats
~28,645 ed voyles
~28,691 economy in chattanooga (no accessories)
~28,769 gwinnet
Then it goes up from there eventually reaching 30,085 at Nalley

A few things u need to know.
-ALWAYS start $1000 ($2000 if there is Honda rebate) off the invoice price
-Add few hundred $$ for the premium of color in the bdding
-Be cool and don't add more than invoice price. The dealer will get AT LEAST $1000+ from Honda per vehicle for the sale.

Someone here claims to have bought an ex-l no res no nav from hennessey honda over labor day weekend. the internet person said she must have been a 4% sales tax county b/c there's no other way they could do that.
Anyway, I emailed a bunch more last night with an otd of 27.8 and already have 3 emails for juuuust under that. 27.75k or so all w/in a few dollars of each other.
K
I brought my honda ode EX with options...like splash ,mud,weel locks ,cargo met,back mirror ...with price of $26750 plus destin plus TTL with zero down and 2.99 so i think price negotiation goes with what is the interest you are willing to give.
thanks
hp
those shouldn't be considered options....they'll give them to you if you ask usually. 26750 for base of *just* an EX is high imo. i'm getting my ex-l base at about 25,700, no destination just TTL, 5.99% from usaa.
it should be about 2k less for an ex with cloth.

What do you say?
My 25,500 guy says that that was last weeks price - this week it's $1000 more. Hello - this is why we are not doing business with you!! There were not dates on his quote or anything. Another dealer said there was no way they could do it. Hmmm...
Anyway, talking to another dealer already. Hoping they will match - but at this point I would take 28 OTD (we are 7.75% so that changes things...) with access included.
I'd take the email and call the sales manager. Pretend like you didn't even talk to the guy. Let him know you're coming in today (ifyou are) but you just wanted to confirm the deal before driving over. Tell him, the base, then add on *specifically*, the taxes, title and fees for your area for a grand OTD price of 'x'. If so, then you're set. If not, then tell him, hmmm, I thought that was too good to be true, Ask him is he could email you the best base they can do, and detail all other fees, noting and guaranteeing and OTD number.
Ii bet he thought he could slip dest&doc fees in there to makeup the grand. I just wasn't seeing how they could do 25,500. I can't find anyone that has gotten that when i've board searched.
How many dealers are you talking too? Yesterday, when i went too low (probably b/c i was comparing a 4% sales tax price to my 7% sales tax) and pissed ppl off, i just went to the honda website and sent out a bunch more quote requests to another 13 dealers. There have to be a *ton* where you are.
My email last night said this:
We're ready to pull the trigger on a new 2007 Odyssey. White with tan/ivory leather. tFinancing is set. No trade in. I'd like to be at 27,800 OTD (including every imaginable fee and tax as well as including the carpet mats, the mud guards and the cargo liner).
I'm looking for the most competitive compelling quote that beats, gets to, or is closest to the target and will call immediately with a deposit to hold the vehicle - coming in later in the day to sign the papers.
Please email
1)the very best price you can do
2)confirmation that you have the white ex-l in stock
I heard back at quarter to 8 from the guy who got the deal. He came in $40 lower than my other person from the first slew of emails.
i called him right away, said let's go, please confirm in a new email that you have the white ex-l 2007 ody in stock and that your otd price is 'x' and please breakdown each fee. He responded with that and the stock and VIN.
Then as I was getting a million other responses, all much higher, more in line with my first set of numbers. I just quickly shot them emails saying "we've already pulled the trigger at 27,792......however, if something doesn't work out, we'll let you know". Four ppl emailed back saying they would match, two of them requesting the written email (i gave it to them), one beating the 27.792 price by $70
Do you have a larger pool of dealers you can pull from?
In my first slew of emails, i wrote back and made the mistake of going so low that literally no one responded, except two of them out of frustration saying that NO WAY could they go lower than they already did, and that if i had that deal (27315) I should take it b/c the dealership was paying me to take it away. It was then that I started a new pool with the 27.8 number.
I think it would be reasonable to shoot off a quick email to 10 dealers in your area saying what I said above...you're "ready to move today, trying to get to 27,800 or as close as possible...we'll call immediately with a deposit for
1)the most competitive compelling quote that can detail base, all fees, TTL and give you a clear guaranteed OTD number.
and
2)has 'x' color in stock.
Let me know if you'd like to sell a car today. Hope to work with you soon."
someone will come back with something good:)

here were my original otd numbers (atlanta, ga or metro area 7% sales tax)
27,946. willet (stated cargo, muds, wheel locks, mats from first email
28.0something curry
28,071 hennesy (they responded with frustration to my 2nd email asking them to come down)
28,645 edvoyles
a few in between here......gwinnet was one....they were irritated also that I wanted to come down.
29,130 conyers (they actually emailed me during this am's deal...i told them it was done, they did price match. they're closer but i wanted to honor the deal)
29,639 albany
29,874 carey paul
29,550 nalley (first time i heard from them)
30,085 nalley (second time i heard from them)
I've sent the request out to over 30 dealers (between last and this time).
Ugh. My contact at the place we are trying to deal with isn't in yet so we'll see what they can do when they come in. You would think we would have a better market here - So Cal - but apparently we have a bunch of yahoos who pay whatever.
Lucky you!! You have it done!! what happened to the '06 Navi idea?
I'm moving!
Our lowest OTD is $400 more than yours. . without options.
And still - no line item costs, no OTDs...how much more specific can we be?
Any input - 26,100 base including destination no options? Oddly, this is my 2nd best price to date.

i just drove home from Milton Martin Honda (Gainesville, GA) in my new EX-L white/tan that had 22 miles on it. $27,792 OTD as promised with security etching, cargo liner, muds, paint protection yadda yadda all included. He would have offered up the wheel locks I'm sure...but I had realized about a day ago that they would NEVER be used by me and would just clutter.
I loved the sales guy (not supposed to use names here so we'll just say his first name started with a G:))....he was just 'good people' as they say in the south. I'd drive the drive in a heartbeat to buy every car that my family will ever own. It was that good.
Not a hint of, 'well....this little fee is standard'....or 'oh yeah, that's got to be added on'. never. It was all fun, happy, community, *honesty*. You could tell people were happy being there. He bought my girls ice cream from the vending machine....walked me through all of the features of the car.....let my 8 and 6 yo tell him stories, make him nametags and more.
It was delightful. Seems like a silly word to describe a car purchase, but it was. There wasn't any other place I'd rather have been. Not only was it a great place to be buying a gorgeous solid new ody but it would have been a great place to just *be*. Even without a purchase. He was telling me that they have a big cookout (ribs/ turkey fry) every year the tuesday before thanksgiving and about 250 people show up. I can see why.
Honestly, we will not shop around should we need another Honda. We'll just make the drive to Gainesville.
Fwiw, he was the best price out of the gate. I named my number (27.8 otd) and he came in lower. Everyone else came in higher, even just a little bit.......then when i told them I had a deal in writing, 5 dealers (of 20 or so) geographically closer offered to price match to 'save me the drive'. Quite frankly, if you could have gone lower, why didn't you in the first place? I told them 'no thanks', i'll drive further for the guy who was willing to go further for me. He did the right thing, I'll respond in kind by doing the right thing.
I am so glad I drove the next 20 minutes for what I think is probably the best car buying experience one could have. Anywhere.
All the best,
K in atlanta
anyway, back to your predicament:)
ahhh, SoCal.....then i'm not surprised your prices are higher. atl is cheap compared to most metro areas and we have such a rural pool to pull from. i mean, how many people are driving hondas in south georgia? not many.....but there are lots of dealers if you cover the whole state
"Our lowest OTD is $400 more than yours. . without options.
And still - no line item costs, no OTDs...how much more specific can we be?"
i think that's really a fine place to start - since they won't do the line by line, you do it.
thanks for your very competitive quote. To reiterate, we are ready to go today. For the sake of clarity, you're saying:
'x' base price (no additional fees)
'y' sales tax
'z' total for TTL
________________
xyz
looking forward to buying this vehicle from you, Just wanted to be clear that we're agreeing that xyz is the total number out the door. Please confirm that the above is the correct number and that you have 'x' in stock and we will call immediately with a deposit.
k
I am so jealous.
The local internet manager has really been going the extra mile for us and while they cannot match my lowest quote - I think I am going with them anyway. Lowest quote sounds shady anyway and local people say they do a lot of switch/add on whatever else at the end...(and I believe it - naive me)
Anyway, we are at 26,000 + TTL.
Can not wait till this is over!!
PS - I hope someone buys me ice cream when it's all over.
so you're at 28,080 plus what $30 or so for title? What other fees? I think it sounds great, really. Once you're in, you can (or dh can) negotiate for accessories for 50% off.....or check bernardihonda.com for prices on accessories (or ebay) and they will likely match best prices for muds and cargo liner (looove the liner).
k
1)paying for it outright - cash, check, credit
2)rolling it into the financing at 5.9%
3)financing at no charge thru some other company for 9,12 or 18 mos

26,000.00 Base
8.75 Tire Fee
55.00 Doc
260.00 Title
2,015.00 Tax (7.75)
28,338.75 OTD
Do you have the liner or tray? had no idea about ebay - checking it out - THANKS.
Watch out, the dealer kept telling me that it came with XM, but when I got home and went to set it up there was XM system in the car. Turns out that it only comes with the NAV system the others are just XM ready and I was told the system costs about $700. After talking to the sales manager, mad as hell, I am getting the XM for free.
Good for you to get such :P great price.
Do u know any thing about the price of 07/08 MDX Sport & Entertainment?
24360 - Base
1880 -(TTL)- 7% tax in philadelphia
26240 - OTD
Hope i got a good deal on this....
thanks

Anyone in Fl. it's probable best to avoid Ocala Honda
Rt 23 Honda: $27,735 incl dest + TTL
Is this a good price, or is there room to lower a little ?
Thanks !
what was your otd total? your sales tax? if that was otd, amazing!!!
I was only checking plain ex-l's but a couple of ppl emailed me ex-l res quotes anyway....one OTD at 7% sales tax was 29,874. Since they weren't the lowest price, i'm sure I could have found one a little lower. Probably not much but maybe 29.3 or so otd.

About 10 dealers have responded wtih 'that's not possible....they're loosing 1200.' 'loosing 1800'. 'no way we could come close' 'wow, that's a good deal.' 'that can't be otd, what that deal falls through, email me' etc etc
There were about 10 of those responses. 5 did match....one of 5 came down $70 from there with a $50 gas car. not playing that game though. The original quote was someone coming through for me......so i came thru for him.
anyway, no way no how on 28.3 otd for res/nav. not happening anywhere in the country unless it's used.
k
Thank you
Does that mean your base is about 24542? How are they getting there on an EXL?
Just curious because we are having a hard time getting 26,000?
It's a great price!! Grab it.
I'm Atlanta so I'm not sure if my details are necessarily helpful....but it was Milton Martin in Gainesville. I don't think we'll shop around in the future but just make the hour drive to buy there.....bypassing about 10 other dealers that are closer.
for salesmans name please email me at cillakat AT gmail DOT com

I've noticed that some ppl confuse 'OTD' with 'base price plus all fees EXCEPT TTL'. It even said that in donkeypunches email format....please give me 'otd price with no other fees except TTL'. my understanding is that 'otd' means it includes ttl, but it's often used incorrectly.
also, there are a couple states with no or 2% sales tax on cars....and situations in which ppl are buying out of state and not figuring in the sales tax since they're not paying it right then (even though they're paying it later)
no one is selling a new, undamaged 07 for 26,078 otd with TTL included. Just not happening.
k
I think you mean 26,078 base incl fees plus TTL? 5% sales tax which would get you OTD at 27381.90 plus whatever you guys pay for title/tag/lemon law (if youhave those)
It's a great price. Basically what I just got here but we're at 7% so my OTD was a little higher.....my base was 25954 plus TTL (7% sales tax, $18 title, $3 lemon law). totalling $27,792.78
Ya done good. Go for it.
