Thanks a bunch!!! I'm writing you an email now.

What is typically negotiable on a promotional offer like this?
Anyone with a good experience in Richmond Va lately?
My friends also got a good deal on Sienna LE with lowest priced package, and he paid $24.2k. For $800 more I got EX-L model with dual power slide door, alloy wheel, 4-wheel disc brake, traction control, power drivers seat, dual front heated seats, and more. The only few features I am missing is rear audio center, slide window on slide door, and 40/60 split rear foldable seats. But I think I got a good deal for the money.
Dealer is Autowest Honda in Roseville (North Sacramento). It has more choice than other dealers, many colors. Other dealers only have white/gold color.
So maybe this is an ignorant question, but any ideas if the '04 Clearance will actually come up with better and/or different deals closer to the September timeframe? So in effect, should I buy now or wait a bit until September gets closer?

Emphasis on "any left in stock."
Steve, Host
Good advise on the "left in stock". The best buys are right now and not later but a lot of people think this isn't the case.
It's supply and demand like everything else. The real bargain hunters show up in late Septmeber only to find higher prices and a picked over inventory.
Steve, Host
You will probably find it very picked over in Sept.
Thanks,
Dawn
Can you pls let me know the details of your "Score". Even I am equally interested in an EXL in DFW area at a good deal.
thanks

Mine is not as good as some of the sub-$25,000+TTL deals that you see here. I paid for my '04 Odyssey EX-L with some accessories (mud guard, wheel lock, cargo net...,etc.) for around $25,000 + TT&L. Extremely painless process. I sent out quote requests on Saturday. Got a few replies on Monday. Spent less than 10 minutes on the phone with the sales rep and got the deal done. And Rob helped me to figure out how much to ask too
As a result of the excellent point regarding low inventories as time passes, I've started requesting quotes for an EX-RES. The best I have so far is $24,750, including destination charge. I'll keep plugging away for a few more days to see if I can lower it.
Thanks again!
thanks

I'm also looking for an EX-RES -- the best I can get is the CarsDirect price of $25,248 plus a $398 documentation fee ($25,646 + TTL). The destination fee is included in these quotes.
2004 Odyssey LX
$22,400 (~$125 below invoice)
Mudguards thrown in for no charge
Waived title fee, only added $1.25 wheel tax and sales tax.
Out the door price: $23,745.25
Obtained 3 quotes from local dealerships and worked down from there. Two agreed to that price and chose based on color - the Sage Brush Pearl.
Thanks.
I got EX-RES including free mud guards and wheel locks for $24,300 + TTL + $299 (doc fees). The $24,300 includes the dest. fees. I'm located in NC.
Could you tell me how you got such a good deal in NC? I live in the triangle area too -- and I ain't finding any good EX-RES deals here. I've made my email public, so you can send me some detailed info, if you like. I'd certainly be willing to travel to Charlotte.
If you need to know the sale rep's name. E-mail me: jason.jue@verizon.net. That may save you even more time and effort.
Documentation: $118
Registration/Title: $124
My price actually came to $24,775 for a silver EX-RES, including destination charge. So adding tax plus the two numbers above amounts to an out the door price of $26,503. It's a pretty good price, considering the demand for these models right now. Perhaps it's not as nice a price as some of the bargains found by other people earlier in the year, but ok in my book.
I live in northern NJ and supplies are getting pretty scarce here as well. My wife wanted the silver color, which seems to be one of the most popular so we have to wait about a week and a half for delivery. All three silver EX-RES models the dealer is receiving next week are now taken: we were #3. The sales rep said Honda is going to build our van in a few days and they should have it in by the first week of August.
Very nice people... I used the CarsDirect price as a reference point and I got a quote through Edmunds' service from a few other dealers as well. After speaking to the manager, the internet sales rep undercut his own initial e-mail offer ($25,125) and got me the $24,775 price.
I've seen something around $24700 in the prior posts. Should I try to get him lower?
Hope that helps.
$499 is nuts for a documentation fee :-)
But if the out the door price works, focus on it (maybe with some free accessory thrown in?) and don't worry too much about the line items.
Steve, Host
Also, if anyone has bought with CD.com or similar method, is the promised "30 minutes at the dealer" for real? And is it hassle-free as well.
Please email the sales man's name and phone number at Northwest. I am ready to buy an EX-L RES.
Thanks
On the short lived "Warranty" message board, a question was asked about a Honda warranty. First of all, you don't need to buy the warranty until the last month of your current warranty -- just hold on to your money.
However I do have a good source, in the Washington, DC area a local consumer magazine, Washington Consumer's Checkbook (www.checkbook.org) lists on page 95 of the fall 2003/winter 2004 issue a listing of dealerships for the best prices for a variety of auto manufactures.
Checkbook's staff got the dealerships to agree to a modest markup (Honda is only $100 over cost). For Honda you need to contact Grand Honda in Elmhurst, IL. Regardless of where you live, you can call the dealership and arrange by phone or by mail to purchase the service contract. When you call (ask for finance manager), explain that you want the markup the dealer committed to for listing with "Consumers' Checkbook." If you don't subscribe to Checkbook, please send them a donation by hitting checkbook's site for saving you some $$$. Hope you find this helpful!
