Planet was giving me the "come on in" to complete the deal even though it was a guaranteed price from zag.com. I am not getting good vibes from them so they are out of the running.
Piazza Philadelphia gave me a good price after I emailed them my offer from Autosport, but I was in N. NJ yesterday and it was not worth the drive out of the way for me.
By the end of the day DCH and Autosport were only $270 apart - but I felt more comfortable with my salesman at Autosport. I am going to see if Autosport can find $200 dollars somewhere in the deal - but I am also willing to pay it for the piece of mind that I am not being "sold".
Hope this is helpful. Keep us posted!
The only way for these forums to be useful is for people to post the vehicle sales prices that aren't variable by state--so...vehicle cost, destination, and doc fees.
Everything else the dealer can't control, so it is pointless to compare.
Sorry to sound grumpy, but I love these forums and I think they are very helpful to know what is happening out there--so I get frustrated when I can't really tell!
If you can wait a few months for the Odyssey newness to wear off, I'm sure prices will come down, but the 2011 Sienna is a pretty outstanding minivan. We were actually looking at one and like the ergonomics, inch of extra headroom, dual view entertainment and the Smart Key System that unlocks itself when you touch the door handle, but we ended up backing out at the last minute when we learned how bad the child anchor placements were. There are two in the second row but only ONE in third, and it's in the middle of two seats!!! We have three kids in car seats that we wanted them all in the back row, so the Odyssey ended up winning out for us.
dealer is princeton honda
Are dealers still making profit in holdback and other incentives if they sell at the factory invoice price of 32,330? I'm wondering because I don't want to get fixated on a price point of 35K OTD which the dealer can only get to at a lost. Thanks.
According to the sticker the MSRP for EX-L with Navigation was $36,450
plus $780.00 freight. Total vehicle price per sticker was $37,230.
Our price:
Car price: $33,427
delivery: 390 (we split the 780 with them.... long story)
processing fee 399
tax 1,026.48
filing fee 10.00
Licensing 57.75
Total OTD 35,310
We thought this was a decent price as compared with what other dealers. The closest quote to this was $34,407 base plus all other fees.
Note: We decided to forego a touring as my husband did not want the DVD for the kids for all trips in the car and we thought we could buy a couple I-pads cheaper than the DVD system.
Good Luck with your purchase.

The negotiations were pleasant with them. The salesman we worked with was young and laid back and hasn't developed his hard sell tactics yet (nice for us). They had a $350 dealer add pin stripe package on it they didn't want to give away so I offered $150 for that which they agreed to. They wouldn't budge on the accessories, but I was happy with the car price so I was ok paying a bit more than I knew I could get somewhere else.
The financing guy was slimy though. Kept trying to hard sell me on every add on, especially on the warranty. I had to tell him no 4 times before he gave up. I also told him I had 3.12% available from Bank of America. He came back and said "Here you go, I got you 3.49%!" and then was amazed that I wanted to wait to talk to the bank the next day to get the 3.12. He literally said to me "You aren't buying a house". Hey, what's $250 when it isn't your money right? Finally he finally came back with 3.14, which I accepted.
We had been shopping the Odyssey for a month and half now. It took us forever to find a smoky topaz in the area to see as we initially thought we might want that color. They are not making many yet and they go quickly when they do show up. Turned out it we felt it was a bit too brown in person for our tastes, but we were glad to have seen it.
All in all a good experience with the annoyance of the financing guy asside. Wife and kids love the van so far.
However, be prepared to receive back lectures on how to/not to buy vehicles.
- $34,480 includes Destination.
THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE TTL.
THIS IS FROM NORM REEVES HONDA SUPERSTORE, DID ANYONE FROM CALI HAVE A BETTER DEAL??? THIS IS STILL TOO MUCH!!!
I NEED A VAN PRETTY SOON, MOST DEALER WOULD NOT BUDGE.
THANKS
The only way for us to get discount is wait, time is the factor that dealers fear the most, so wait people.
MSRP still for the touring elite.
Yikes...maybe after Thanksgiving?
Called Gurnee Rosen in the afternoon, agreed on the price quickly, drop in by 5pm and got everything done by 7pm.
This dealership claims that they will beat any other dealers price and they were able to do that for us. Below is the detail on our Touring deal.
MSRP (Including Dest) - $41,535
Invoice (Including Dest) - $37,683
Our Price (Out The Door) - $37,700 plus free tint, not including TTL
Vehicle $41329.00
Prep Fee $55.00
CA Tax $3664.41
DMV/Title/Tire $577.75
Total OTD: $45626.16
This also included roof rails, cargo protector, and lug nuts.
Hope this helps someone with their purchase.
Which dealer did you get this deal from?
Most Bay Area dealers just are not dealing at all. They do not have Touring or Elite at all. And only a few hundreds off MSRP for the others.
Pretend the other person on the other end of the line is a car dealer as well, and Yell things out such as "Oh Wow, you are going to give me how much for my used car!!"
or things like, so you say--"You are willing to come $2,000 under your Invoice..!!!"
and things such as "Wow, Life-time oil changes....!!"
Make things up just to make the salesman there at that dealer turn their heads, Lie to them just as much as they lie to you, it's a game...and Remember, the 1st one to speak loses the negotiating game. Name your price (within reason of course) and then shut-up. They'll say, "Well you are taking Food from my families mouth" then you say, "I'll invite you over to eat dinner with mine..!!!!"
Good luck buying Honda Odyssey's out there,,,,POWER to the People...!!!

This was quick and painless. The only downside I have to wait until Jan. for the Odyssey (no problem). Weymouth was by far the best. Every dealer in the D.C area seems to be in love with inventory that will eventually be on the lot. Weymouth is pre-selling future stock. A sell today is worth 2 tomorrow
thanks,
It seem many people that are getting good value did not specified trade-in or not so it difficult to judge the true value.
thanks

Expensive I know, but decent for the SoCal offerings. I got offered ***best deal*** for a 2010 Touring $36300 at multiple locations. Nobody would go to $34000 at this time. Probably better to try in late November after Thanksgiving, but my lease is up soon. Thanks for everyone's help.

Any feedback on these prices based on what you are seeing / paying in Chicago or the midwest (most of the dialog here seems to be on the east and west coast)?
These priced were obtained from Sam's club / Costco auto buying club.
Also can anyone explain the Smoky Topaz Metallic color?
We are trying to decide between the Smoky Topaz (looks like a deep, dark gray) and a Polished Metal Metallic (looks like a medium,blue/gray), but it is hard to tell from looking online and can't seem to find one in stock locally.
Thanks!
I could buy a new EX at sticker plus their $1800 in ridiculous add ons, less $4k for our van, plus TT&L, so almost $31k out the door, plus they get my van.
I said are you serious, I can buy one at two dealers right now for that price without the trade in. I guess I was really looking like I was born the night before.
Eventually, we got to the new van for $24.5k out the door with the trade in. I was pleased, but it was a painful process. They had to get the new one from another dealer, and I have concerns about that process, too.
$39,907
780 dest
259 doc
20% off accessories
Now they are trying to find one for me.. Still a verbal / email agreement.
Congrats on your purchase! Where did you end up buying from?
I am also in SoCal...
Thanks!
How many of you have actually used your roof rails during the time you owned your old van/car/suv's?
