Got the paperwork right in front of me.
But at I must say, we had a few things working in our favor:
> It was the end of the month(yesterday) on a Sunday at closing time
> We did all our negotiations via phone/email
> I had been in communication with them for about a month... they really wanted to close the deal
> Not sure if this helped, but I happened to know the wife of one of the managers
Overall a great experience... and they only have one R&N left (white).
Just wondering what is R&N and TTL?
Could you please let me what was the on road price?
TTL = tax, title, license
OTD = out the door price (or final price) after paying TTL
One last question. Who is this dealer? I think I missed it.
Have been reading alot on this forum--Below is the breakdown of the lease that was finally negotiated with our Honda Dealership. I did research on all aspects of this car and think pretty good deal--This is a 15K Per year - 36 Month lease---Any feedback--Protection Package and Fabric Protection added in by dealership for free--discont applied reflects this (Not sure why this was done) I do not plan on purchasing this car after lease--Please advise Carman--Honda Odyssey - EX
MSRP - $28,695
Freight - $595
Honda Protection Package (Guards/Locks/Tray) - $995
Appearance Fabric Protect - $249
Discount - (-3,824)
Total Selling Price- $26,710
I was showing invoice with freight $26,625
Money Factor - .00121 - 2.9%
Sales Tax - $2073
License- Reg - $76
Processing Fee - $399.50
Residual - 56% - $16,402.40
Payments - $393 (Including Tax)
Cash Due - $437 (First Month Payment + Tags)
15,000 Miles Per Year - 36 Months
--Base $26230 (with Destination)+ TTL, The Total price would be around 28,850, since the NY tax rate is high.
Is that a fair deal? Please share what you guys think?
For example--check out msg#16271 from "newody07" who bought back on AUG 31--total OTD price was $29,300 which included mudguards, floormats, wheel-locks, and pinstriping--everything included--this price was better than Strikera55 got when you figure in the dealer transfer fee for their desired color, and the doc fee, and mudguard fee.
Also, remember that at times when a customer buys other add-ons that are high profit margin (undercoating, stainguard, etc.) for the dealer or even when they go thru the dealer's financing (another great profit center for the dealer) they can sometimes get a lower price than what others are able to negotiate.
I think when folks trade-in a vehicle and don't disclose that in their postings on this site it also skews the bottom line pricing that others can expect to get because the dealer can drop the selling price with the knowledge that they are making quite a bit when they will resell the trade-in.
Just my thoughts...Again--congrats on your purchase and great price...

Thanks for your input!
Breakup is approximately 29.3+ttl= 31999.
Good Luck
We both swore up and down that we would never ever never buy
a minivan. But 7 mo. old twins and the mother-in-law saying
she's visiting in three weeks can quickly change one's mind.
My wife got cold feet about the NAV at the last moment but
that got straightened out after a lot of whining on my part.
We decided not to wait. You can go crazy trying to second
guess them and it just isn't worth it. Besides, there
already wasn't much available with the grey leather and
after seeing the dirty carpets in the olive leather models,
no thanks.
So, Odyssey w/RES+NAV, Ocean Mist, $29680 + TTL, $31670 OTD.
We didn't get any extras but for S. Florida, not too bad.
The highest quote was $32650 OTD. We're satisfied with the price and the low-pressure dealer(Pompano Honda). Our
thanks to the board.
Now to figure out the stereo/nav/dvd controls ...
Who can tell if the quote (25635) i got include incentive or not?
We obtained the Touring with DVD & Navi, door edge guards, wheel locks, pin striping, and wheel well paint/protection (plus 2 full tanks of gas and 2 free oil changes) for
$32, 682.57 (includes $635 destination)+
$599.99 dealer fee +
$2065 FL tax =
$35,348 OTD.
I thought this was a great price. Plus, I have no buyers remorse, which is my usual pitfall!
We took advantage of the $2k factory to dealer rebate plus the 2% holdback ($795) off the dealer invoice ($35,388).
I did purchase a 5 year, unlimited mile road hazard warranty for $280. Though, I am always very leary, I was assured it will cover the PAX tires for hazards. We shall see. Figure, if it covers one tire ($350), then I come out ahead (?)
I have considered ordering an aftermarket stainless steel grill insert kit from www.cloud-rider.com; $210 for upper and lower grills.
Does anyone have any insight on the cloud-rider product? Also, any feedback on my pricing?
Got real close on a purchase of an EXL, with RES and NAV and cargo tray (no wheel locks or flaps) for $31,700 OTD but was told we needed to finance at that price or they would lose money. I am usually skeptical but did believe them. Would have done the deal but they did not have our color(tan). That was late September. Wondering if I should expect the same, better or worse deal now that it's October.
Thanks in advance.
Did not include mud flaps or wheel locks (you can keep your wheel locks, they've caused me nothing but headaches trying to find the key!)
Purchased in Los Angeles. Had a tough time finding a Midnight Blue or Ocean Mist one. Lots of slate green offers.
32887 + Dest. + TTL.
Most of colors were available for Touring with Nav.
Has anyone gone through the Costco auto buying program? We are going to try a dealer through that next. They said they can give us the internet price or the costco deal with the special financing, so we would have to see which worked out to lower payments. Trying to buy a new car is so stressful!
Regarding stress, in my opinion, the more you try to get down to the absolutely lowest, rock bottom price, and the more you see the car salesman as your mortal enemy instead of just a guy trying to make a few bucks, the more the stress level goes up -- way up. In my case, I started haggling over mud guards. When I realized that I had everything I wanted in the deal but these things, I looked at their cost ($111) and then thought about the stress of putting the deal back in play over this small amount and it was a no-brainer: I'll pay $111 to walk away smiling and without feeling bruised from battle. In all honesty, I don't think the dealer would have dug his heels in over the mud guards, but I know myself and I know what stresses me out, so I paid for the mudguards, shook hands and smiled.
In short, peace of mind has a dollar value that can outweigh the dollar value of a set of mud guards.
So, if you think you are getting a pretty good deal, and you are checking around on Edmunds to make sure your price is in the ballpark, then you probably are getting a pretty good deal. My advice, then, is to get the deal in writing, with a VIN#, shake hands, and drive away smiling.
Good luck!
Price $24,577, processing fee $298, Davidson Co. Tags $91.50, Business tax $74.63,State Tax $1,746.47,and local tax of $88 for a total of $26,875.60.
I received a very similar offer from a second dealer.
Let me know what you think.
Should I try for something lower?
I used the method described in #16303 and this was the first communication I received.
I made a deal with white Plains Honda for 2007 EXL honda odyssey Midnight Blue (OTD) $28100 and delear asked me to reach the delearship before the closing time. When we reached there the manager and sales person was compelling me to take green clour odyssey which already has more than 100 miles on it. I didn’t agree with it. Finally they agreed to give me the blue and they made me to signe the sales paper and I gave my credit card for advance payment. I was waiting for the processing and copy of my sales paper which I signed. Suddenly another person came to me and said “he is not going to give me the blue van”, for which they made me signed.
In this situation what I have to do and what is the next step to stop playing with customers.
wow, otd, so inclusive of sales tax, title etc etc.....so literally you wrote the check for, or financed for 29,090 for ex-l res? that is *great*. Yeah!!!!!!

EX in Nimbus Grey
$25147 (included $2000 rebate, processing fees, delivery charges, mud flaps, cargo tray, and wheel locks) TTL $1479 (MD 5% tax). OTD price - $26626. Got financing through them, was told it would be 6.09% for 60 months with no down payment. Surprised to see that it was lowered to 5.69% on the paperwork. There was no trade-in or expensive add-on factor at play.
I cant seem to find closed sale figures at ebay for a similar van. Edmunds and kbb prices for this van is almost at the 2007 price levels being reported here.
Thanks!
I am just negotiating with Renton. How about do we buy
together(get more power)? So, we can deal at a higer po-
sition.

We paid $28,669 for a NEW EX-L R&N.
Carmax gave us quotes around the same price (give or take a couple thousand) for USED.
It was a no brainer. Buy NEW and start fresh with zero miles.
