Received the paperwork today and it is through Bank of America.
I live in Atlanta Georgia and contacted every dealer in GA, NC, SC, TN, KY, and MS. I had a couple of dealers in Kentucky that offered to sell below MSRP with no additional dealer add ons.
Has anyone else noticed possible transmission problems with their new 2001 Honda Odyssey LX? Obviously I did not purchase this particular car. It was sold to another customer within a few hours of my test drive!
David McDavid Honda ... talk to Marcus Norton about the internet special. Tell him Jim Fancher sent you.

Thanks!
MSRP with some free goodies is a very good deal, as most people here will attest.
While visiting relatives in Ohio, I called Roush Honda and bought a Dark Green EX ODY at MSRP + 20% off the options. The sales person offered the Honda Care Warranty at $895. Thanks to the Odyssey forums here at Edmunds I feel I was able to make a good deal. I knew specifically which options I wanted and the sales person threw in the mudguards for free. No haggling! We were even tickled about being able to actually test drive an ODY.
So here's the only potential catch. According to the dealership, the build date will be the first week in January 2001 (no later than January 7), and delivery will be no later than third week in January. Overall, it was a good experience. Despite purchasing it 400 miles from home, we got the van we wanted, in the color we wanted (yea!), within the time frame we wanted. I just hope the deal goes through as expected.
I know I am bit late into this discussions. Could someone help me find a Odyssey EX (AS)
with Navigation System in Richmond, VA area. I
don't mind travelling here and there to get a good
deal. Is it possible to find a dealer to sell
below MSRP. Any dealer references in NC and DC.
Thank you guys in Advance.
'a Odyssey EX (SS)'.
thanks,
Pete
Sam, poor safety rating of Nissan Quest led me to the Ody (2001 LX GG). MSRP, no add ons.

I took delivery of a MB 2001 EX with Navi on Christmas Eve. Paid $223 below MSRP. plus a $198 doc fee. Also added Leather for $1495 and Honda Care 7/100,000/0 warranty for $895. I did everything via e-mail and telephone. Only time I met the sales guy was when I picked up the car. Great experience. He even gave me the same value for my trade that he quoted over the phone. I Bought it from Curt Ming at Phillip Hushes Honda in At hens.
The vehicle does not pull to the right, no clunking when backing up, no rattle in the door.
However, the gas gauge is way off. The low Gas light comes on with about 7 gallons left in the 20 gallon tank. It's a little frustrating as we now are using the tripometer to tell us when to refill(about every 300 miles). I'll have it looked at when we take it in for the first service.
I've gone through two tanks of gas and am averaging in the 17-18 mpg range with mostly city driving. (I wonder if the folks that are reporting 13-14 mpg are really just having gas gauge issues?).
Finally, I was against getting a mini-van but my wife is driving so she got to make the decision. I'm a convert. The vehicle drives great and has plenty of power. I've already carried a bunch of stuff from Home Depot with the third seat down. The kids like it and the Navigation system is a fun gadget that has saved me once already.
new to this board. I live in Ma. looking to buy above asap. all dealers i have called said not negotiating on sticker. can anyone recommend someone up my way who will negotiate. i hate to spend full price.
reply to nealhalpern@hotmail.com
thank you for helping
(The kids know more about minivans than the salespeople.)
Question is: is it worth it to upgrade to the EX? We intend to add a security system and a CD player. The EX comes with both plus the other nice features--but the power sliding doors are something we don't want. So far we are staying with the LX decision. The power doors seem to be a feature that could have problems. Also, is it true that if someone other than the dealer installs the alarm system and/or cd player it would void the warranty? (I know that when the time comes to add these items the dealership will tell us that.)
Timothydavis, do you have your Odyssey and which one is it? I've been following the forums for a while and don't remember when you got yours.
Thanks.
thanks
Good luck with your purchase. I'm sure you'll enjoy the van.
I'm new at buying a car and being put on a waiting list, so I thought I ask the veterans out there before I drive down to the dealers to get on the wait list.
When I go to the dealer and put my deposit down, do I negotiate the final price of the van BEFORE the deposit or when the car arrives? I'm a bit confused (and scared that I might get ripped off even more) since this whole process is new.
I appreciate any comments and/or guidelines as to how this works. Also, from the threads, it sounds like that I can buy an LX in So Cal for the MSRP with a relatively short wait list. I hope this is still true.
Thanks in advance,

MSRP by 1000? you must typo decrease to increase,
Right? With such bad economy, and new plant increasing production by 100% tll October, I can only assume decreasing MSRP by 1000 is reasonable, maybe 2000.
We finally took delivery of Ody '01 EX SS on Tuesady from Heritage Honda in Rome GA. I put $500 deposit on 12/8 and got the delivery on 1/2/01. I paid 26,500 which included destination and mud guards. Doc fees $ 189. No other add ons. The entire purchase experience was professional! The Van is wonderful!! All other dealers in the area were asking at least $500 over MSRP and bunch of add ons. You can contact Rosemary at Heritage and tell her that Balkrishna Kute referred you. Good Luck! We are thouroughly enjoying our Van!! We got it in the color we wanted, Silver!!
The check list that was posted here a while ago was quite useful! Thanks to every on this forum who shared very useful information on the Ody purchase.
Yes dealer needs to make money to live, but this attitude will hurt Honda image. I will test drive the Nissan Quest. Heard it has Pathfinder powertrain which has been tested for more than 5 years on the market.
BTW, last month 9391 ody sold, compare to 11,752 sold in 12/1999. That's why you can see Odys on dealer's lot.
We are considering the Honda Odyssey.
Can anyone share prices they paid in the State of Michigan .
What dealers would be the best ones to call?
Everyone seems to speak highly of the Odyssey - anyone having buyers remorse and why?
Does the OD come with Daytime Running Lights? With Toyota its an option!
Any Comments on the ABS,EBD,TCS for the Michigan weather conditions?
To cut cost we are considering the LX verse EX, power sliding doors just don't turn me on.
However; I am wondering if they are easy to open over a period of time for the wife to handle with no problems.
Only thing that bothers me about the OD is I wish it had a more ground clearance...Anyone
notice this. I have not seen any commets on this issue. Perhaps its just me. I have a long
drive way up north with many ruts until it smoothed over in the spring. So maybe its not a real concern.
Is the 2nd seat really easy to take out. I have to haul some stuff up north every
other weekend for a remodeling work on our place, etc ..Tools and odd ball building
supplies...... Take up light furn when I do not feeling like loading the trailer... etc.
All help would be appreciated. If I have missed anything else, please just add it in -
on things to be watchful of- or helpful hints.
Thanks
Its supply and demand....once the new plant comes online, the dealers will have to start negotiating on them. Until then, they can get what customers are willing to pay for them.
I just wouldnt pay over MSRP! Some dealers are not taking orders and are selling them to the highest bidder when they come in...good for them...but they wont get my business. I'm not in that much of a hurry to buy one!
Patient: Did your price for classic soft trim include the seat heaters???
honda increased msrp by $500 from 2000 to 2001, next year it will be the same increase.
Some of our customers offered us $2500 over sticker if they can get one immidiatly!
I would love to help anyone if they have questions regarding these vehicles
That's quiter clever: you talk about machines getting tired, but not people. SO: did Honda go out and hire an entire third shift's worth of assembly line stiffs, and bring them up to the same level of skill & experience overnight ? Or is it the case that you've got a lot of people working double shifts day in and day out, night in and night out ? Oh, and push those robots long enough without time for decent maintenance, and they'll get out of wack just like the rest of us... Cheers !
