www.realcartips.com/2008-Honda-Odyssey-Prices
I found this website and the Real Car Tips website by far the most useful in determining a buy offer. My posting is the Nov 8th one for 2008 Odysseys.
Real Car Tips gives you a real simple snapshot of real world pricing. Great ammo for your local dealer. And no, I have no affiliation with Real Car Tips.

They do have a good thorough post on How To Buy A Car For The Lowest Price.
It is just like the Donkey Punch method but more detailed ...

Another dealership offered $27,000, but it wasn't the color I was looking for.
I probably could have gotten a slightly better deal, but it seems like the '08's are in short supply, from what I could tell.
I am currently looking for a EX-L RES/NAV.
Please hellp
I am getting a quote of $28950 +TTL for the 08 EXL with RES and NAV. I'd appreciate any input! What do u guys think of the price? Thanks!
The best offer received was for $29,790 (inc. $670 shipping), plus about $500 in accessories (mud flaps, door and fender guards, wheel locks), and standard tax/title/doc fees. This bid is almost $6,700 under original MSRP and $3,300 under original invoice. Honda Finance is still giving dealers $3,500 off invoice costs for unsold '08s until Jan 5 '09, and also offering low finance terms (1.9% for 36 mo, 3.9% for 36-60 mo).
I have been doing the same thing with the internet bids except that I'm interested the 2008 EX-L w/o any extras. I've also had the same experience regarding replys. The best bid I have received so far was from the internet sales person at Northwest Honda in Bellingham. Unfortunately, her bid was still too high particularly given the driving distance. If she drops the price I would likely purchase from here since she has been the most professional.
I would appreciate knowing how things go and who gives you the best deal.
I wouldn't take the comment from mpslhondadlr re: Price going up as supply goes down. This person has conveniently forgotten the "demand" part of the equation, which iat the moment is in incredibly short supply. It's a buyers market for sure and don't let any dealer tell you otherwise. Every day the inventory sits on the lot costs them money. Now that the 2009 Odysseys are showing up the 2008s are a definite problem. Anybody that says otherwise has some serious denial issues going on.
To address this need, we bought 20 of them from various parts of the country. We own them for about $600.00 more then net (due to shipping). But rather then give up holdback and and all of the DEALER CASH, we're selling them for $2300.00 under invoice. We've had them in-stock for less then a week and we've sold more then half of them. It's still a fair deal for the consumer and the dealer.
Or Molly, you could simply wait until all of the remaing 2008's are gone and then pay thousands more for a 2009.
And why were they buying them from "various parts of the country"? Answer: The dealers holding them were unable to sell them. That tells it all.
I am in a situation and need your help.
I have put an email to several dealerships for a 2009 Odyssey EX-L.
1 has come back 5% higher, but 2 are at the same exact price.
When I inquired about doing better at one dealership, he broke down the invoice, destination, etc and it equaled the price I got.
Any suggestions on how to get these guys to do better on the pricing.
What I got from 2 of them was:
$29,944 - invoice
670 - Destination
300 - in "Ad Fees" (My wife thinks that is a so/so charge)
$30914 - Total
OTD from this dealership would be $34,498.20
Tax - 8.3%
Plates - $578
Doc Fee - $395
The $29,944 is the invoice according to KBB and Edmunds.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Dave
I have been quoted 31400 before TTL on a 2009 EX-L with RES in CA. Is this a good price?
Any suggestions on what is the best price?
Thanks
That seems to be the cheapest I can get and the dealers are all in a pretty tight range and are not willing to go any lower.
Will be doing the Honda 1.9% 3 year financing on it.
Thanks!
Thank them very much for the quote, but that they will need to better. That given the economy, $33,900 feels a whole lot better in your bank than a new van. Then give them a deadline and wait. Time is on your side and all of the "low hanging fruit" for these guys is long gone. By they way, which dealership are you working with and are you happy with the way they have been responding to you?
I'm seeing best price quotes here for thousands more than what I paid. It almost makes sense with gas prices down to make a vacation out of it, buy the car in Boston (my area), and drive it home. How can there be such a ridiculous disparity in regional prices? Can regional supply and demand really account for thousands?
I am inthe market for 08 EX-L. If it is not too much to ask, could you tell me from which dealership you bought this and who should I contact there
Thanks in advance
plus the manufacturer's 1.9% promo APR for 36 month. down pay $4100.
I don't know whether it's a good deal but personally I'm satisfied with the price.
The only problem is that the NEW car already has 766 miles on odometer...I don't know how much depreciation should be on this...
btw. I got the vehicle in Wesley Chapel Honda, near Tampa, FL.
anyway we got our new car
Pls shoot me email ur798 *at* yahoo *dot* com
2008 Odyssey EX-L RES
Dark Cherry Pearl

Only dealer add-ons were tint, pin striping, and mud flaps.
$27,400

$29,360 OTD
I chose the 3.9% for 60 months at Gillman Honda SW in Houston.
Thanks,

i bought my 2009 EXL with RES at hopkins honda in fairfield, ca for 31,000 before TTL. avery honda in vallejo, ca also may offer lower they kept calling me telling me they could offer a lower price but i preety much sealed the deal at hopkins
good luck
i am from the bay area i bought my EXL with RES fro 31,000 before TTL hopkins honda in fairfield, ca. talked to edgar garcia the internet manager
good luck
Thanks for sharing the info. The lowest that I have been quoted by one dealer is 31400 but then it somehow jumped back to 31900.
Will say that Trade-In values from Edmunds, NADA & CarsDirect were high and that Kelley BB was $750 below so figure some average on them. But don't expect top $$ on a trade in from dealers.
September 1 - 57 days
October 1 - 71 (32000 vans available)
November 1 - 97 (33000 vans available)
December 1 - 113 (33000 vans available)
In plain english this means that a dealer could go 113 days before he runs out of Odysseys (between what he has in inventory and what's on its way).
The reason that the total number of vans hasn't changed is because the sales RATE has dropped.
Honda Odyssey sales - November 2007 - 13,421
November 2008 - 7,294
Down 45.7%
The lowest price I've seen is for $3,488 below invoice in Walnut Creek, CA.
