I walked away from the deal.
Is this a reasonable price for EX-L, Its from a Houston dealer ? Please comment
I will provide my 2 cents... 1st, I am going to assume your base price for the Ody was somewhere around $27,550? That leaves roughly $1700 for tax plus some additional for the fees (tags, document, etc).
Assuming $27,550 is your sales price, that looks to be very near the target I was aiming for last week (Invoice less 2%msrp less $2000). For the EX-L, I show that target to be $27,144. So it looks like you are just a few hundred above. If they're "throwing in" any extras (wheel locks, tint, rear cargo mat, etc) then that makes up the difference right there.
Overall, I don't feel you're leaving much on the table. Good job!
BTW, how can we get the 27144(target price) ?
Regarding the price without NAV.. I've no idea. probably you can deduct the MSRP difference between those models from my price and start there..
I've been wanting an Odyssey for a year now and we believe we're going to take the plunge and buy! I've emailed a few dealers and so far only 2 have emailed back with the information we've requested. Below is the local dealer: He has stated that this price is $1k below invoice and has destination and accessories included in this price. If we take this offer I will have him re mail me stating this. Here's his email:
WE HAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE COLOR YOU ARE INTERESTED IN CURRENTLY HERE IN OUR INVENTORY. THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE WEOULD BE $30,595.THE TOTAL WITH T.T. AND L. WOULD BE $32,736.
I have another dealer 2 1/2 hours south giving me a quote of $31k out the door. He too has broken down prices. HOWEVER, the local dealer is telling me its due to hail damage they received last week in a series of storms that hit Tx. Below is his email:
The MSRP of the 2008 Honda Odyssey is $34,445.00, and the Bankston Honda Internet quote*, including the $635 destination charge is $28,900.00. On top of that, you would have 6.25% State Sales Tax, about $185.00 in Title and License Fees plus about $45.00 in State Advalorium Tax. Approximate total would be $30,940.00 area.
Bottom line, I want $31k. I have financing in hand. Its 2.90% and is effective from 4-15 -31 May so I have some time to see if they'll give me my $31k.
Should I take the $32k and make the deal?
Thanks for insight
Stephanie
Simply send an email to the out of town dealer and point blank ask if the vehicle in question has (or ever had) any hail damage. If the answer is no, make the drive. If the answer is yes but it's been repaired via paintless dent repair, make the drive. If the answer is yes, decline the deal.
My guess is that your local store is simply high.
I am planning to purchase a Ody some time towards the end of next month. I was looking at the Honda Finance web site and there was a place where I can get a "pre approval". Has anybody done this and further used it to purchase a Honda?
How does the process work(after the approval)? I understand there are some dealer incentives that work only with cash/alternate finance options etc. Assuming I negotiate a price that is to my liking can I just tell the dealer I have Honda Finance approval and just pay for the van that way and be done with?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Best,

Base Price: $26,039.05
Destination: $635
Documnet Fee: $399
Title: $28
GA Lemon Law: $3
+ Sales Tax
+$1,000.00 for special 2.9%/60 months financing
Should I accept this price or continue to haggle?
I haven't been looking long and this seems like it is too good to be true.
Thank you for your help: email is doarcineva@yahoo.com
We didn't take it since it's 4 of us buying and we all know the van sales are slow and we're not in a hurry. So we just offered most of the dealerships in the northern part of the city a package deal offer of 4 vans for $28K OTD price (with 7% sales tax) for each.
They've been emailing for us to drop by their dealership to negotiate but we just told them that we won't come unless they agreed to deal with our offer.

$30150 = Price for car (includes des. fee's)
$350 = doc/license fee's
$2642 = sales tax (8.75%)
=====
$33142 = out the door
$15500 = trade in of my 2002 RX300 2WD with 81k miles on it (basically got private party sell for it). This took close to 3 hours of negociation.
Net cost came to $17642 for a new EXL with DVD/RES + they also gave me a ipod touch (sells for $299).
thanks
I think edmunds.com and cars.com is not accurate either.
In my last 4 months of using this site it never told me that such discount is going on.
Consumer guide at least puts up the information.
For example:
When consumer guide was putting up this information in say february, edmunds and cars.com was still not factoring that in the price when they show you as gaurenteed price.
For example on touring model when cars.com was showing 35900+tax, people in our area already had emailed quotes for 34100+tax.
So I think I would treat these sites not different the real dealer person as far as prices go.
I am planning to purchase an EX-L with RES in NJ. What would be good price to shoot for? I hope to avail myself of the 0.9% for 36 months deal if possible.
Thanks,

The price for the Touring is 24,999.00 plus taxes title and license. this is the model without run flat tires. :surprise:
I replied back to him that I would like to purchase two. Have not heard back...
$24,466 - vehicle ** using $1000 financing cash and 2.9% financing
$635 - destination
$99 - processing
$1,512.00 - taxes **6% effective January 1st, 2008!!!!
$290 - new tags (or $120 to transfer tags).
Total on the road price $27,002.00
We will sell the accessories at our cost, no markup.
Ther is just $2000.00 dealer cash or, if you use the low rate the dealer cash is just $1000.00. And no, there is no super-secret adjusted "advertising" money on the Odyssey like we are finding on 4cyl Accord sedans.
Belive me, if there were $4500.00 on an Odyssey I would buy one too.
On the otherhand, I have seen dealers pretty much going to NET, giving customers almost all of the hold-back too. It must be a tight market out there, everyone is tripping over the same customer to see who can take the biggest hit to capture a customer. Pretty sad.
