I have been offered $27, 500 OTD
Can I do better than that on price?
Also, anyone hear any bad things about the engine feature that runs on three cyl at highway speed?
Thanks
OTD? A wholly meaningless number for comparison due to differences in tax rates.
The price of such of a vehicle (including any dealer/doc fees) should be less than $26,000.
I have been offered $27, 500 OTD
Breaks down as follows - $25,983
MD Tax $1267, T&L $250
Total OTD price - $27,500

Again, this depends highly on the region you are in. I contacted 30+ dealerships within a 200 mile radius of here (Central TX) and the lowest quotes I could get for a 2007 EXL were in the $26250 range (including dealer fees - basically invoice - the $2500 incentive), with most closer to $27k. When I pressed for lower prices, I was repeatedly told that this was the bottom-barrel price, and if somebody was offering a lower price I should jump on it. Most dealers only had 1 or 2 in stock, so they knew they would be gone soon enough anyways.
When I asked about the combined $2500 + Low Rate offer, they all said that they hadn't heard about it, but that they didn't need it because they were flying off the lot with the $2500 incentive alone.
The only concession I did get at $26250 was free delivery to my house. The two dealers who were offering this price were both approx 80 miles away (in different directions), and both offered to bring it here for no charge. They are supposed to deliver it this afternoon.
2007 EXL Silver
Price: $26,253
Tax: $1699.25
Title/Fees: $174.05
Total Drive Out (or delivery price, in my case): $28126.30
I had to put a $200 deposit on my credit card for them to deliver. They faxed all of the docs, so they will drive up to the house, I'll sign a few papers, hand them some checks, and they will drive away.
Financed ~$20k at Penfed at 5.29% for 60 months (anybody can join with a $25 one-time membership fee to the National Military Family association, or for free if you have somebody in the military in your family).
Is this a good quote? Does anyone have any quotes for 2008 Models yet? EX or EXL
Also Does Invoice Price include destination? or it's on top of Invoice Price?

Can you share the dealership/contact? I too am looking in MD.
We've called them and they said they would call us back and never did. So we are complaining to BBB. Does anyone know what are rights are in regards to this. I mean they e-mailed us this quote and now won't honor it.
You don't have a leg to stand on here.
From what I understand, paying invoice or less is a "good deal", even on a lease. What is the invoice price of this vehicle (I am in Louisiana if that affects it)? And it is unreasonable to ask that the $2,000 "dealer cash" be deducted from invoice?
Also, is it better cost-wise to skip the "RES" and just get my own dvd player?
Thanks for any helpful hints here....I definitely do not like the car negotiating process, so I want to get as much info ahead of time as possible!
Cost-wise, yes, an aftermarket DVD will be cheaper. There are, however, significant factors to consider beside price such as integration and installation issues.
can anybody do a good price/value comparison between LX, EX and EX-L?
Also has anybody seen "Back-Up Sensors" accessory in action?
I have been looking everywhere to find out what the dealer incentives and holdbacks are for the 2008 Honda Odyssey. Consumer Reports has nothing on the model and Edmunds has nothing except invoice price.
I'm trying to see what price I should be negotiating up from. I'm hoping that with the holiday season and no one buying and the housing slump to get a good price. Is it possible to buy a 2008 under invoice right now?
Thank you,
Emily
May have dealer take those items off to get a better price.
But I haven't bought it yet because of those droning/humming issues i've heard about and those power steering issues and road noise.
Any thoughts?
In Southern California
thanks
A lot of people will prefer the larger display, but after looking at both options, I think it's a toss up, and of course you will save money with the plain EXL.
Invoice price doesn't include destination.
I purchased a 2008 Touring edition (without pax) at approximately $200 over invoice, but with no destination charge, at Holmes Honda in Des Moines, Iowa (515.253.3167). The sales person I dealt with was Clay Olson and the sales manager is Matt Sokolowski (515.253.3169). I also got the 4.9% financing special (2.9 for 36 mos. or less). They threw in extras such as rubber mats, cross bars, at the dealer cost. I've bought cars for years and the Holmes experience was probably the most professional.
I took a slightly different approach than the so-called Donkey Punch method. Because I was looking for a particular color (silver w/blk interior), I searched dealer websites within a 250 mile radius and then called (rather than emailed) particular dealers and asked for a price quote, as well as a ball-park quote on my trade-in. Holmes Honda (and Clay Olson) were head and shoulders above the others, and the most responsive and professional. Some of the dealers delayed in calling back and others kept you on hold for far too long. Hueys in St. Louis was also very professional. But Holmes had the model I wanted, was prompt, curteous, gave me a decent price for the trade-in. Right off the bat they quoted the pricing. Their strategy is that if a caller has done the Internet homework and is driving from out of town, the best approach is to give the buyer a no B.S. invoice pricing to encourage the buyer to drive in and purchase. Apparently, buyers drive in from the Kansas City metro area (about 2 hours away) and as far away as Chicago. For me, it was about a 4 hour drive (in a mini snow-storm no doubt), but it was well-worth the drive.
Once there, they had their act together and the van was on hold. The financing went relatively smoothly. (Although like many, I always hold my breath and say a slight prayer when waiting for the credit to get approvedl.) Regarding the trade-in, I recommend that buyers come prepared by printing out the value of your trade-in from sites such as edmunds, cars.com, kelly blue book.com. Trade-in values are all over the map. Expect to get the low-end of the dealer trade-in value.
Finally, I opted for the '08 model, even though the specials on the '07s are excellent. The '08 Touring now seats 8..and that is a plus. I take several road trips with the kids, and I figure that life is short so go ahead and get that upgraded sound and extra bells and whistles of the Touring. (In the past when I purchased less than the top of the line, I always later had regrets when a top of the line model drives by.) The Touring model should hold its value..and Honda's tend to look sharp even after years on the road.
So I am signing off after checking this site regularly for the past 4 months. You definately come out ahead when you are armed with information. Good luck.
What are the invoices for various models?? Thanks
The lazy susan is 200.00
and the floor mats (all weather) are 220.00.
Your registration, title, and documentation fee come to 379.00 and 5% sales tax is 1401.00 for the vehicle and accessories.
Your total out the door price is $29,800.
How does this look?
If I buy the day after Christmas, would I be better off going into the dealership or negotiating through email/phone?
Thanks so much!

Got this quote; actually only quote; Can I do better
Any suggestions on the following?
I am debating between 2007 oddy EX-L and 2008 EX-L. Does price/value ratio justify several thousands extra for 2008?
Are there any major differences between the 2007 and 2008 which make 2008 a better deal?
Will update when we actually buy.
You should be able to get the promotional 2.9%financing from Honda.
It seems that Bayridge Honda is offering 3000 K off from invoice on 07 oddyssey. However the 08 EXL that I now really want is 1k over the invoice price and include the destination charge.
I liked the staff at the dealership they were nice and not pushy. However they did not have the Ocean mist EXL 08 that my wife wants so I'll contnue to look and maybe go to NJ next..
I'm just worried about setting myself up for disappointment with all the issues involving brakes, power steering pump, wind/road noise, breaking of the air compressor due to poorly designed grille...my friends with 06 odysseys have warned me already.
Maybe i should spend a little more and get the 08.
2.9% is stackable with discount?
Total OTD for me was $27,000 before trade-in credit was applied.
Where are you located?
After going through mailing a bunch of dealers we were able to get our new 2008 EX-L for $29527 and OTD price of about 32300.
I also got sold on Honda Care package and I hadn't checked prices before I went to dealership but I advise everyone not to buy from dealership or bargain it down to what you get on internet.
Thanks
