Touring Elite: $40,302 +TTL
Touring: $38,047+TTL
Finalized the deal through email with Internet Sales Specialist (K....), agreed on color, price, what to include, etc. Had to wait few days to get the color requested (Black/Trussel) and got the minivan fresh out of the factory (4 days before the promissed date). Walked into the dealership on Sunday, signed all the paperwork and drove it home in less than 1 1/2 hrs.
Great experience, did not push me to get any additional stuff, just explained to me what is available and never insisted me for buying anything extra. Mr. K was there throughout the entire process, took plenty of time to go over the vehicle, and I highly recommend him for anyone interested in buying a vehicle.
Price including destination: $33,214
Doc Fee and Tags ~ $269
Ohio Tax (6.5%) ~ $2176
0.9% APR for 36 months.
Appreciate the information given through all the previous postings and this forum has been very helpful in finalizing my deal.
Good luck!
did that include destination or shipping ? Also, did you have to pay and add on sticker fees for miscellaneous add-on options such as wheel locks, cargo net or pinstripe----OR----was that included in the price of $34,007 ? How much was the "document" fee ?
I plan to pull the trigger this week, hopefully and would really like to know so I can contact them.
Thanks,
Kathy
I have an offer for 2011 odyssey EX for $30,700 out the door (color we dont want)
and an 2012 odyssey EX for $31, 400 out the door (color we want)
which one do you guys think i should jump on?
American Honda stance was live with the noise or buy another car. This is a noise that my 70+ year old parents can hear while we are driving the van.
Dealer said oh yeah we will give you a break on the new vehicle. their price quote was
33,500 for base EX-L.
Sure, Odyssey is a nice looking van. But I will not buy it again.
Being fooled one time is shame on Honda. I will not be fooled twice to be shame on me.
Good Luck to you all who is looking for an Honda Odyssey. I hope you will not have to deal with American Honda nor its irresponsible dealers as I have.
Thanks!

Price - 34,271
Doc Fee - 55
Tax - 8.75% (LA County)
DMV Fee - about $300
OTD $37,660
Well I took the advice and solicited (using Edmunds, cars.com, truecar.com etc.) about a dozen local dealerships over the internet saying I was a serious buyer and I would be asking multiple dealerships for their best OTD pricing. After a lot of back and forth emails (not a single phone discussion..although I received 25+ voice messages as expected), I was amazed at some of the pricing. Some "best pricing" were only $500 under MSRP. But the lowest one was $200 under invoice! I was ecstatic. I emailed to confirm and they gave me a down to the dollar OTD price. I had received another email from a different dealership saying they'd beat any offer by$ 100-300. So I went back to dealer A (I liked his no games upfront price) and asked to come down $200. After some negotiations he did. I went in 2 days later. I spent no more than one hour at the dealership. What a great experience.
I ended up paying $32,000 (including destination) plus 6% PA sales tax plus TTL of $217 (no bogus ad fees etc. either) for a 2012 EX-L. $400 UNDER INVOICE. I was AMAZED.
I just wanted to say thanks to Edmunds and to all you posters here that gave me the idea and confidence that an amazingly deal could be found!
Wanted to see how liked your honda remote starter.
Thank your

Minivan by the latest issue of Consumer Reports Magazine -- Dec. 2011 Issue. I was close to
making a deal on the 2012 model. The ONLY minivan that is recommended is the Toyota Sienna.
Now What? Do I start my research all-over from the beginning?
Keep in mind that could be based on only 1 year of data so the sample size may be small. Per CR, "if a model was new or redesigned in the last year..we might use data from only one model year". So it's not like they think it's going to tip over or blow up in mid drive based on years worth of complaints.
If it's worth anything, CR is my bible, yet this didn't sway me from buying a 2012 Odyssey last week. I guess time will tell if I shouldn't have. : )
The way I saw it is, either CR got pickier with their reliability scores, or all recent minivans are less reliable than in the past, because only 1 out of 7 is recommended. To each their own.
Hope that helps.
Their reliability ratings for the 2011 Odyssey shows everything perfect (red circles) except for electrical which shows an empty circle (average). Extrapolating from the comments in these forums, the most complained about thing is the battery light staying on in the 2011's. I'll bet that that is the 'electrical problem' being referred to by CR (the problem is annoying, but doesn't require a fix if you can stand the battery light staying on).
I read that the electronics have been upgraded in the 2012's to remedy the light issue, so I would buy a 2012 with confidence that it will be no worse than, say, a 2006 which is the 2nd year of a re-design also.
My take on it is that the Odyssey is still a good minivan I particularly like the 2005-2010 generation for its routine and emergency handling. If the reviews are to be believed handling in the 2011 Odyssey does not differ much from the Sienna. I would overlook minor reliability variation if the handling had remained differentiated. It appears that the transmission and torque converter issues are a thing of the past and for that I am grateful.
And to make it even more embarrassing, Honda Accord is now the LEAST reliable Japanese-brand family-sized sedan, according to Consumer Reports, when it used to be the MOST reliable, #1 Japanese sedan every year during the 1980s to the mid-1990s (10 straight consecutive years, 1983-1993). For the first time in 40 years of history, Mazda's family-sized sedan (Mazda 6) is rated more reliable than Honda Accord. How sad...
Something is very wrong at the Honda USA auto plants right now.
According to Honda some of the US Honda vehicles (especially 2012 Honda CRV) are going to have impact due to this. But Honda doesn't exclusively say about Odyssey shortage due to this floods. Do you guys have any thought about Odyssey shortage due to this floods?
Has anyone taken one of these new vans and come up with a good option of navigation without wires everywhere and the nav unit falling off every weeks?
The difference in the price does not seem worth it when you could buy a $300 nav unit to do the job.
Thanks
So we suck it up and pull the $150 Garmin out of the console and stick it on the window when we NEED it, which isn't often.
We also figured that most smart phones are basically GPS units themselves so we use those as well.
2K is just tough... we couldn't pull the trigger.
2K for Nav is too much when you get a decent GPS for $150.
In my case I will rather go for a DVD option compared to Nav.
Ofcourse you can get a IPOD for $300 but still kids can use DVD more often than me using a Nav.
lithnights: She does not want a garmin stuck to her dash (like she has now in her '03 Ody) Her argument is something around, if we spending so much money on a new van, why do we still want something stuck on the dash, falling off weekly, wires hanging all over the place. I honestly think Garmin does a better job of navigation than any in-car navigation. She would use it at least once a week, more of a "go home" use.
I see 2 things in the in-car nav I have in my sedan that are useful. 1) If you are listening to music, the music volume is reduced when navigation instractions are given. 2) I have the ability to send addresses from google maps on computer wirelessly to my car (VERY HANDY)
I would be concerned about replacing the whole head unit in the van, as you may loose other functions.
After doing some research, it looks like a popular gps mount is ProClip and if I could find a way to hide the wires and tap into 12 volt line on the left side of the steering wheel that would work.
The Nav option would cost me more like 4-5K as I would have to go from EX-L w/res to touring. The other option is to get EX-L w/NAV and give kids ipad's. Today we have the two screen dvd on the back of the headrests. Other than all the wires, the kids tend to abuse the screens with feet and getting in and out of van.
I would but, not to sound like a dummy, I'm not sure how to PM here. Let me know what I need to do.

$32,000 out door price including everything. No extended warranty. What do you think?
Sloane Honda is where I got it from.
Also, during the process, Piazza Honda of Drexel Hill claimed they would match/beat invoice.
2012 Honda Odyssey EX $28,995
2012 Honda Odyssey EXL $32,489
I'm not sure if the Destination charge is added in this price or not. You can always call him and check it.
so $33,500. before title, tax etc.
this is nowhere near as good as some of the invoice or below invoice deals in other areas.
has anyone landed a good deal in seattle or washington state?
I am a first time new vehicle buyer. Other dealer is asking me to forward this quote so that he can talk to his manager. is it safe to forward the mail?
I'm also from VA. The price what you got for LX is a very good one.
I'm looking for EXL.
Can you please post the dealer name,City. It is ok to give the dealer name in this site.
This form used to be very active.
Seriously looking at the Toyota Sienna FWD -- The Only Recommended Minivan by Consumer Reports.
For loyal Odyssey buyers, Consumer Reports recommends Not-buying the very first model of a re-designed vehicle. The Last model year of a vehicle tends to be the most reliable one -- since the manufacturer has had time to fix any defects/flaws.
My guess is that the not recommended was based on the 2 recalls of the 2011. But it's not like those recalls were faulty brakes, faulty transmissions, or overheating engines... it was a power window issue and a windshield wiper issue. Not exactly show stoppers.. to me at least. Below is a summary of the recalls...
"Honda has announced that it is recalling approximately 2,800 2011 Honda Odyssey minivans over potentially faulty front side windows. Either the front driver or passenger window may come off its track and fall down into the door or cease to operate. In a worst-case scenario, the window may shatter and break, causing pieces of broken glass to fall into the passenger area. Honda will begin contacting owners on or about April 15, 2011. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicles to their dealership, where the window glass will be replaced free of charge.
This is actually the second recall for the 2011 Honda Odyssey. Two weeks ago, Honda recalled approximately 33,341 of the new minivans for a peculiar situation that could occur when the windshield wiper blade becomes frozen to the windshield in cold weather. If the windshield wipers are turned on in this situation, the internal wiper linkage could bend, causing the windshield wiper motor to become inoperative, and obviously hurting visibility in foul weather situations."
And keep in mind that is for the 2011s (first year of new design). I'll overlook those and take my chances with the 2012 I bought.
So far the prices that I have are
EX-L w/RES $33500, Dealer fee $349, TT&L
Touring $37500, Dealer fee $349, TT&L
Still trying to justify $4000 for NAV. I did notice that zag.com has one dealer close to me that suddenly is getting close to these prices. 2 weeks ago no-one near me was close. I wonder if there is some special starting that we are not aware of.
