We just bought a 2009 EX-L with RES and NAV for 30,000 + T&L (OTD was $32,830.29). If the one you're looking at has only DVD, they should do much better. If they won't, go talk to Honda of Serramonte, that's where I got mine.
Also, in general, I think it's bad to negotiate the OTD price, because the OTD price is variable based on the vehicle price. When negotiating, negotiate the vehicle price and get that nailed down, then calculate the OTD price. When we bought ours, we negotiated 30K as the vehicle price and I didn't even know the T&L amount until I was with the finance manager. T&L doesn't matter, the vehicle price matters. Well, it does - I'd love to pay lower sales tax - but you know what I mean.
If the dealer just blows you off and is not willing to haggle back and forth and work with you you don't want to purchase from that dealer anyway. It is a sign of how they feel about customers and most likely how they will treat you in the long run. Find a dealer that wants your business or just skip the dealer and look at a credit union that will deliver the car directly.
When I got a internet quote from a dealer A, and is as such requested by another dealer B who promised me if I get that they (Dealer accepts that. But, when I went with that quote to B, they simply rejected becz they can't beat it I am stunned in this becz they lied to me by saying they will beat if I bring anything less than what they offered earlier.
Is the $550 being quoted for title/registration from dealers accurate in MN (it higher than I'm seeing from others here).
I was going to ask is Serramonte is in California, but then I googled an found it is near San Fran.
Thanks.
Underneath that price, under incentives available, it describes the $2,500 marketing support. Is that on top of the TMV price for a total of $6,746 in discount from MSRP?
That would leave the TMV - marketing support at $23,379.
Seems too good to be true, but hey, thought I'd ask.
Did this price include everything (delivery), except for Tax, Title and Licence?
Thanks!
The price after $2500 marketing support is $24,862
09 EX
MSRP 29455 + DEST 670 = 30,125
INVOICE 26692 + DEST 670 = 27362
LESS Marketing Support 2500 = 24862 + Adm fee, TT&L = Out The Door total
Yes, Serramonte is near San Francisco, but not hard to get to. Believe me, if it was actually in the city I wouldn't go, even though that's only a 15 mile drive for me. Traffic in the city is just too much of a hassle IMO.
I also hear good things about Grace Honda, in San Bruno. My neighbor bought an EX-L there about a year ago. I forget what his price was, but OTD was around 30K. No DVD or Nav.
Before buying this 2009, I also looked at some of the 2009 Rose Bowl VIP Odysseys. They are identical to the one I bought (white ext/tan leather int, DVD+Nav), mileage is anywhere from 1000 ~ 6000 miles. Honda Certified and onl a few months old. However, at least at Tracy Honda, which had 6 in stock when I was there (5 EX-L, 1 Touring), they just weren't willing to move very much on price. No matter how hard we haggled, they were still talking OTD that was less than $1000 below the price of a new vehicle.
Now, I know there's a good argument for these cars in that a nearly-new 2009 Certified one actually has a longer effective warranty period than a new vehicle, but for less than $1000 in price difference, we decided to go with the new one. One of our considerations is that we tend to put on low mileage (we have another mini-van that's three years old and just turned over 15,000 miles) and tend to keep cars a long time (the car the Odyssey is replacing is 10 years old, and I'm only replacing it because we need a larger mini-van to accommodate our growing family, but that 10 year old car only has 113,000 miles on it and is in great shape), so either warranty is likely to expire on time with very low miles on the car. Another point for buying new is that we tend to keep cars a long time, so resale value isn't much of a consideration in used Vs. new.
That said, if you drive more than we do and saving a little (not a lot) off the price of a new Odyssey might be a good deal for you in exchange for the longer warranty period, those Rose Bowl VIP cars are worth checking out. Very low miles and they're in great condition. Dublin Honda also has a couple of them on their website. They used to have more, but I guess those sold. However, their posted asking price is higher than Tracy Honda's, so unless they are willing to seriously move from that price, you could wind up paying as much or more than you would pay for a new vehicle.
I recently backed my Jeep into a pole (narrow at the top but wide at the bottom where it was out of sight), so If I get a Van soon I won't need to get a rental car. That accidnet made me want the backup sensors, but I can't justifiy the expese of a touring. I currenty have the fogs and I'd lke those too.
Thanks Again,
Tony
I don't know if I can do better but still trying.
I ended up at Walser Burnsville. They are a "one price" shop but their price quote was only a couple of hundred more than the the best quote I received. However, their trade in offer was 230% higher. That made the decision incredibly easy. I had done all my research and was ready for the negotiation. I never expected to end up at a one price dealer. I suppose another person may have gone back and tried to get trade in match combined with the best quote but I'm the type of person who factors in how I'm being treated. Thumbs up to Walser.
The $311 you see on the Honda website is not a factory installed price. Honda does not factory install accessories. That is the dealership sales price for the part, not including installation. ( I work at one, but soon to be gone for the Air Force.)
The install process for foglights is pretty extensive. You have to wire the whole front of the car up and add a new stock at the side of the steering wheel that has the fog light controls. It's about a 3 hour job.
Here in Atlanta, the normal labor rates are around the $90-100 mark per hour at dealerships, so 3 hours of labor can jack up the price pretty high.
They were nice, we looked over 2-3 days, and they did not pressure us. They did not try to tack on stuff at the end. Without asking the salesperson had service put in a brand new battery, because the car had been on the lot for a long time.
Our bank was able to give us a better interest rate, then they were offering, about 1/2 percent point better.
total wold be $30779 .
is this the best deal? should i wait till end of march?
appreciate input
is LX come with automatic sliding door?
what is the best deal on ex?
I got one offer 24,300+TTL
I am in LA/OC area
Please advise me
tks much :confuse:
Looks fair, If this 24,300 includes dest charge, but still you can negotiate.
I think that e-mail contact approach should work well.
How will you decide if the discount on an EX is better than the discount on an LX?
Best of luck!
>Maybe I should be comparing SIX years of depreciation on the 2008 with FIVE years of depreciation on the 2009.
Exactly correct.
If you decide to sell it in 2014, the 2008 model will have 6 years of depreciation, and the 2009 will have 5 years of depreciation. No one will care that you bought the 2008 model in 2009 and hence ONLY drove it for 5 years.
If the agreed value of the car is 30,000, trade-in is 10,000, and residual is 15,000, is tax simply 7%*(30,000-10,000-15,000)?
Do you need to include financing cost in the tax base? Doc fee or acquisition fee?
Thanks.
I went to Richfield Bloomington and they totally pulled a bait and switch, and quite frankly, flat out lied and hid numbers.
BAD NEWS!
09 ODY EX-L
$27,749
$299 Conveyance
6% CT Tax
$100 Registration
$29,830.88 OTD
2 dealers came come in about the same, one with a higher conveyance.
Thanks
Does anyone think there is a chance that Honda may kick more money to the dealers towards months end (and fiscal year end) to move more product for better end of quarter/year #'s?
It is hard for me to even ask them for a quote these days. I feel like I need a shower after I have talked to them.
Paid 34500+TTL. (About 37500 OTD)
The asking price reflects the high mileage, or so I believe.
This price includes Honda's $670 destination charge and an additional $200 "fast start discount" which is valid until the end of March.
Can I do better, or is there any rebate/financing specials in the near future?
Thanks :shades:
I plan to buy an Odyssey EXL before October this year so I am not in a hurry. What is the best time to buy when I can get a good deal? Will the price increase in the summer?
Many thanks.
I paid 25,900 OTD
24,300 + 1200 tax + 400 other fees
This is in the Boston, MA area.

May I ask if you had to "negotiate" aka haggle on that price, or was it a price you were quoted via the internet?
I was given a similar quote ($24,237) via the net for a 2009 EX - however the quote included the $200 "fast start" discount, & $670 destination fee.
