2.9% for 60 months Honda financing.
I was planning to purchase at the end of Nov. but most of the dealer had few of the 08 available especially the EXL.
I'm from Central Pa.
I just purchased a Honda Odyssey EX-L w/ RES & NAV from Hugh White Honda in Columbus OH. I only wanted EX-L w/ RES but they couldn't find one in 6 states with my color choice (black) so I spent the extra dough on the NAV to get the color.
I only dealt over the internet and it was a very good experience - excellent actually. Nothing shady or questionable -- I showed up and they gave me the exact same deal we agreed to prior. I even introduced a trade in and put more money down once I got there without any problems.
Hugh White even went above and beyond to help me arrange this purchase as an x-mas gift.
The numbers:
$29154.00 (destination included)
250.00 documentation fees
1967.89 sales tax (6.75%)
25.50 title fees
-------------
OTD $31397.39
I did the 2.9% financing over 60.
I've seen a few deals on here that would beat this but I think all things considered I got a solid deal here.
So my question still remains. Is a $100 to $200 above dealer invoice a good deal or in general, people have been able to do better than that on a 2009 Odyssey. I know there are special deals to clear out the 2008's but I'm focused on 2009 for now.
My second thought is I wonder if Honda is going to lower the Financing charge for 2009's once the 2008's are gone. With the Prime rate dropping again, my thought is that 2.9% financing may be too high compared to their competition. What does everyone think?
I am based in NJ and will purchase an Odyssey soon. Could you give me the sales person's contact. Your deal looks attractive.
To add to it;
I have seen the dealers having good mark-ups on the accessories. Get the price of the Honda Accessories, which you may be interested in, from online merchants as another negotiation tool.
$ 27,500.00 (dest included)
$ 250.00 doc fees
$ 1,942.50 tax (7%)
$ 25.50 title/license fee
$ 29,718,00 OTD
2.9% financing for 60 months
I got 5yr - 75 k for $1500. Could you please send me the copy of this details ($1400 - 8yr 120K warranty no deductible ). Can you email me the receipt or document to my email id zubairsmd@gmail.com. I negotiated with them while getting delivered the same van(EXL RES). They were asking me for a proof.
I would really appreciate if I get the copy of the this warranty document.
Thanks in advance.

Please share your recommendations.
I see that Honda is no longer offering special interest rates for the month of November. Is that true?
Invoice -$3500, Got tray, wheel locks, mud guards thrown in. Fair trade-in.
Got 1.9% financing (instead of 0.9% offerred yesterday)
Overall good experience.

Someone else may have experience with an aftermarket system on an Odyssey.

"This month we can no longer give you the incentives we offer you last month. This month Honda only offers Dealer cash or Honda rates. We no longer give both."
So it's either $3500 cash back or 1.9% APR for 36 months and 3.9% APR for 60 months.
If he truly knows what he's talking about, this is not good news! Not sure what Honda is thinking!
"The only difference in the October Specials vs. the November Specials is Honda increased the interest rates to 1.9% for 24-36mos and 3.9% for 37-60mos...we still have the dealer cash available with financing."
29,166 [Invoice Price from Edmunds for a plain EXL]
- 875 [3% of 29166Dealer Holdback]
- 3,500 [Manufacturing rebate]
+ 670 [Destination Charges]
=25,461 [Sale Price]
+ 1,528 [CT 6% Tax of Sale Price]
+ 470 [Title,Plates,Fees]
=27,459 [Final out the door price]
Thanks.
$27,500 seem like a target price. But anything below it, would be good!
This van has everything but the NAV which I already have in a portable unit. Got the color the wife wanted and the kids got DVD system to keep them occupied during the roadtrips.
I'm looking at a Honda Certified EXL w NAV & RES. It looks to be in great shape. The downside is that it has 52,000 miles. The asking price is $22,600.
Does that seem like a good price? What should I offer?
Also, did you get any special finance from Honda i.e. 1.9% for 36 months or 3.9% for 60 months?
You will have a FULL warranty on the new one whereas the 07 is out of warranty. In my opinion it should be a no brainer to purchase a brand new. If the 07 was about 19500 or less than the difference may be weighed out.
They are also giving me a nice amount for my trade (2003 Jeep)
What do you think? I know the deals are better on the 2008, but my wife really wants the power lift gate. Thoughts?
Edmunds shows cost + destination to be 33,089. was you net cost after subtractracting $3500 incentive $29589, or did you factor in the dealers volume rebates to determine cost?
If they do not have any, then stick with the 2009.
My wife & I have had the same discussion regarding 08 vs. 09 and the power lift gate issue.
Keep in mind though, because the Touring is more expensive overall, you may get a good deal on an 08 Touring relative the price of the Touring, but may not be as good as the 09 EX-L with power lift gate because of the price difference in general.
(Does that make sense?!) :confuse:
If you would like, email me - I have something that outlines the differences between the two model years and the two models that may help you out in some way shape or form.

They got the color that I wanted and match the lowest price that I found in Atlanta. Orginally really wanted EXL/ RES, but friends who had built in DVD with various age group kids talk me out of it plus the inventory for EXL is much better than EXL/RES. Since they are more EXL inventory, it is easier to negotiate for a better deal. EX/RES is about $1000- $1400 more than EXL.
We have kids with various age. So movies that my 1st grader like will not be the same movie that my young teen would like. Plus, I don;t want my youngest child to be watching PG-13 movies. My friends suggested that I should buy the portable DVD ( those with sleeve that can hang on the back seats) for each of my kids. Cheaper and help to prevent squabbling on which movie to watch. Also, they point out to me that if the built in DVD is damaged, the whole car will to be send for repair.
Does anyone think that the incentives will increase any time soon? The 3500 is good, but the interest rates were raised and that's not good. My local dealer had a LOT of 2008's left.
For 2009 models, Honda will try to stay ahead of the curve and cut production to match the demand. They have significantly cut 08's production so far and increased production of fuel efficient vehicles like Civics. So, don't expect stellar deals in 2009...It is very likely that the current deals are still possible in 2009.
Yes, you could wait until December 3rd or 4th and see if they offer 0% for 36 months vs. current 1.9% for 36 months. It is very unlikely that they will increase interest rates next month. You have to take chance that the colors you like are still available.....It is still not impossible to get the colors you like even in early December.
Just my 2 cents.
How do you determine that?

Asking: $21k. They came down to $16,500. which includes a 4 year 100,000 extended 0 deductible warranty.
My concern here is that it was in a frontal collision. Only the driver's airbag deployed apprantly according to CARFAX. It shows no visible signs of any issues. And clearly the damages were not high enough as to warrant a total loss on the car.
Anyone have any thoughts?
One - I would take it somewhere and have them look over the underbody. Today's technology makes straightening out frames easier and better than they used to, but I would still have someone look at it.
Also, check to make sure that the front door closes ok without any contact with any part of the windshield frame. I had a '94 Grand Prix where I noticed rust near the top of the door where the door was supposed to come close to the frame of the windshield. Instead, my door made CONTACT with part of the frame of the windshield. Everytime I slammed the car door, it made contact with the windshield frame and chipped paint! :mad: Upon closer inspection, I noticed certain pieces of body side molding was not "level" between the different parts of the car (back right door to back right fender.) Of course, this is after I bought the car (this was the first car I bought all by myself...
If you want to go further, see if the space between the front doors and fender is consistent all the way around.
Maybe even talk to the body shop and see if they remember the car and give you good idea of the damage. Perhaps they can surmise why only the driver's side airbag went off...that is odd.
Test drive the heck out of it and look for any rattles or anything else that is strange or shouldn't be.
Good Luck.
I actually did look over a bunch of the exact items you mentioned. The panels all match properly, alignment is good. I am slightly concerned about the door...it closes properly and in the right manner...but I felt there was excess wind noise coming from the door. I told them my concerns and (as with the extended warranty) they were more than willing to give a thorough once over.
It is a reputable Honda dealer in our area, so I was not so concerned about them trying to roast us.
Based on the indications that I saw prior to them even showing me the carfax report, it seemed it must have been a front left collision right at the corner. Which if it was not too hard of an impact, it would explain why the [non-permissible content removed] went off, and not any others.
It drove well, took it out for almost an hour. Wife and I both noticed a touch of rattling from the engine at first as if it was working too hard....but it leveled of quickly. We both did not feel it again at all, and everything was smooth running about 5-10 min after we were off. Figured it was just cold from not having been driven in a while perhaps.
I'm more or less wondering if we're getting a good enough deal on it, or if we should have driven a harder bargain.
I found a color I liked on the EXL, and the dealer says this is absolutely their last offer, 25500 invoice+350 + tax+tags. Is this a fair price in the market given the end of year clearance and the 3500 dealer incentive, etc?
Thanks.
