Is that something you normally would have requested to add onto the vehicle? To me it has no value if that is an accessoriey that you would not nomrally use. Just my thought....
Opinions? Good deal or not?
I am new to this forum but spent some time looking through the posts for the last few months.
On whether the offers you are seeing for an EX-L are any good or not, I think a lot depends on what other fees get tagged on as part of the OTD price. I think you need to have the total for everything but TTL to do a comparison.
Having said that, if that price does include everything, I think that is about as good of a deal as I have seen listed recently. I have also just sent out inquiries to local dealers in CO for the same vehicle (2009 EX-L) and the best response I have seen so far is $29,800, which I know is a bad price. Not sure how much they will be willing to come down but I am offering $28K.
In general, it seems like the sentiment in this thread is that they are not willing to deal as much right now because of the surge of buyers under the CARS (cash for clunkers) program. If you are not taking advantage of that, you may be better off waiting until they run out of funds again and Honda starts working harder to clear the last 2009s but the risk is that you won't be able to find one by that time.
Where did you get the invoice of $27400 (and did that include destination). Thanks for any help.
So my best offer is $28700 + 710 dest +TTL.
I'd really like to pay $27100 so that my total is under $32k.
I also have a CARS trade in.
How should I counter? I'd like to email him back and say if he can do it for 28100 + dest +TTL, I'll go in on Sunday and get the paperwork going. Thoughts?
Should I go to another dealer that has the one I want and use this offer to get his down from 29510 to 28700?
NB
I tried to call couple of dealers around here to better the price to $28,500 but none was willing to... Most of them are ran out of 2009 EX-L... A dealer in downer's grove quote $1600/- more for the 2010 EX-L ($1250/- dealer rebate for 2009 + $400/- difference between 2009 vs 2010)
Good luck...

Thanks for your info, this site really helps determine who is getting what and what is a realistic price etc...
I just wanted to share that I purchased a 2009 Touring in Slate Green with Black Interior without Pax yesterday for $38500 out the door in MD. I believe thats a decent deal. I wanted to get the car a bit cheaper but we needed the car and I couldnt chance the car being sold.
Thanks for everyones help in making my purchase of the Odyssey a good one.
Priority Honda in Chesapeake VA $29,956.91 (included destination) + 449 processing fee + TTL. Had pinstripes already on it. MSRP was in the 34K range. Dealer had no problem doing the 3500 CFC. 5 hour drive (but right by my friends house, so I just visited him). With the clunker it got OTD for 27,900.
I had a price that was about 450 less on a Silver Model (an acceptable color but not our first choice) from a North Carolina Dealer (3.5 hour dirve) that was dragging their feet on the CFC trade due to funding issues that were going on last week. Kept putting me off, didn't communicate well, etc. Got a bad vibe from them.
I went with Priority Honda even though they were slightly more. We got the color we wanted, which was surprising because nobody else had it. They honored the internet quote. Like all dealers they asked me if I wanted to buy all the add-ons, but I just politely declined them and they had no problem with it. I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Priority and especially my salesman. Totally friendly, professional, honest, didn't try to change the deal and didn't push addons. They have a lot of good service things like free oil changes, state inspections, car washes, lifetime engine warranty, that would be great for people that lived a bit closer to them. It only took 18 hours from my first contact to complete the deal.
I was pleasantly surprised by my experience buying from Priority. While price is important, if you are going to drive 5 hours to get an Odyssey other things come into play. Even if you're not going to drive that far, there is more to the deal than just getting the lowest price. Then again, if you can get it for lower, you might as well!
With CFC underway, it is hard for people without CFC to negotiate.
If timing is your friend - wait until this CFC program is over. All the demand has been brought forward and car inventories will build again.
