Used? A lot that that the price above .
Dennis
This is in Northern CA. and the best price I found. Got the price through the internet and only 1 other dealer was willing to match but not beat the price.
This is $4,400 below invoice, so it appears that Honda has increased their
cashback to $4,500? I assume then that you can get the $3,500 back and
2,9% financing (if this didn't already come with that APR).
I am considering Honda of katy, how was your experience there? Would they match price from other dealers? When they quote out of door price do they add some hidden charges later or they understand out of door means out of door.
I will provide your name as referal in case I go with them. Thanks.
If you choose the cheap financing, $1000 of the dealer incentive goes away. So the $2,500 on the VP becomes $1,500 and the $3,500 on most other models becomes $2,500,
Dennis
Dealer showed me the printout and many other ppl here also confirmed that.
I just got a VP $2800 under invoice with 0.9APR a few days ago in Seattle area.
That's why I said VP is a good buy this month.

We are looking to purchase a VP 4WD this week. How can I tell if there is a
vibration problem that everyone is talking about if the dealer is far from a major interstate? What percent of the 4WD have this problem and what is it caused by?
Craig
We are looking for EXL orignally, but for $4000 more over VP, we don't think those
extra feature worth it.
It's about the time to buy if you like VP, it goes very fast in our dealership, they only have 3 VP out of 40+ Pilots, you may not be able to find VP left in May or June.
I have tested drive a few 4WD VP/EXL Pilots, but didn't find any problems. There may be bad samples,.
$24,396 including 5yr/100k powertrain warranty
$200 tags & fees
3.25% tax in DE
Out the door = $25,338.
I am now more concerned about this 70mph vibration than the price. Has this been fixed with the 2008s?
Talk to Janelle or Steve and tell her that you are looking for the same deal that "Deep" got on last Saturday. First of all check if the color of the SUV you want is there in stock before driving out there. I have already talked to Janelle and she said they would offer the same deal if I sent any buddies of mine. But dont bargain..... because this is way way too low and no one else is willing to go that low in NJ & Philly area.
Again the SUV I brought was 2008 Honda Pilot EX 4WD
MSRP is $31,780 (w/destination charge)
Lowest Price $28,839 (w/destination charge)
Lowest Quote $24, 616 (w/destination charge) from Open Road Honda
Deal from Willis Honda $ 24, 416(w/destination charge)
If you are looking for the exact same trim level this is the lowest price anyone ever paid I guess in NJ/Philly area. More important..... I was very satisfied with the sales person Steve. Once in a blue moon you will find a person like him who will give 100% until you leave the dealership with your new vehicle.
If I were making an offer I would think about $4,500 below invoice and holding there until someone bites, particularly for an EX-L AWD and more so for one w/RES or w/NAV.
EX with special finance
EX without
VP with special finance
VP without
Take Invoice minus
$3,500 w/o special financing = $29,405
$2,500 with special financing = $30.405
However, I believe that there is an additional "hidden" $1,000 incentive, so I keep tuned to this board for more info. I am offering $3,500 under invoice to dealers with the special financing.
Separate question...I want both nav and dvd but you can't get both. Am I better off getting one vs the other factory vs aftermarket? For instance, DVD factory and Nav aftermarket better than Nav factory and DVD aftermarket?
I like the factory DVD because it is seamless and you can input the DVDs in the front dash. I figure the aftermarket Nav is easier since it doesn't have to be integrated.
Anyone have experience with this tradeoff?
Thanks.
Having said that, if I were to choose one, I would go with the factory DVD because to get it the way I would want it aftermarket would involve replacing the entire stock stereo. I have a standalone NAV unit (TomTom) and absolutely love it. I don't miss not having a factory NAV one bit. ESPECIALLY considering the price difference!
'11 GMC Sierra 1500; '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '08 Maser QP; '11 Mini Cooper S
That said, you can get a RES put in for less than the invoice difference of the Honda system, but that price is a lot closer than the GPS price is.
You can get aftermarket rear view systems as well, and Honda has an accessory backup sensor system (no camera, just beeps). Not nearly as neat as the built in system you get as part of the Nav package.
So it all depends on what you "must have" and you get to pick since you are paying for it . Nav probably holds its value least well down the road when it is time to sell or trade your Pilot, but the RES may not do a whole lot better. A Pilot with neither is likely to return more PERCENTAGE of its purchase price on the used or trade markets.
Dennis
Yes! Tell her "Deep" she should remember. I had very good experience with sales person Steve who was assigned by Janelle. Be sure to post your experience.
Good luck
So does it sound like a decent deal? BTW, family loves the Pilot.
When it came time to sit down, I chased off my daughter. Got the usual pressure from the salesperson to close the deal. I had my trusty folder prominently displayed on the table, upon which I wrote the names of all the dealers in the area, plus the fleet managers name's and phone numbers, so they would get the idea I had been shopping (which I had been). Plus I had a legit print out with other quotes. Bottomline, knowledge is POWER...is how to save money.
I think if I could have waited, the deal could have been even sweeter, but I'm happy with the purchase and the price I paid.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you...$26,623.84 was the base price of the 'unit' , added tax, tire fees, registration (I transfered my plates).........
So the deal would be:
MSRP: $32,400
Invoice: $30,917
Selling Price: $27,302 ($3,615 below invoice)
+ TT&L
I really want the EX-L with RES, but this dealership doesn't carry them. Instead, they have a system that another vendor will install for $1300 - $1500, which I'm not exactly crazy about. They say it's covered under the warranty, but it doesn't seem like a good deal to me, since I could buy an aftermarket system on my own for less than that.
I think I'm going to keep shopping. I could probably negotiate this dealer's price down a little, but without the RES, it's not really worth the trouble at this point.
Dennis
Some dealers will register your vehicle in NY for you, in that case they collect the NY sales tax.
If they don't, they shouldn't collect the sales tax, you would register the vehicle yourself when they get the NJ title, about 3 weeks after the sale. You pay the NY sales tax at that time.
I've done it both ways.
Thanks again
A lease is a little different because most states charge tax on the payment and any cap cost reduction, but each lease bank has a tax ID for the states they operate in so they can add it to your payment each month.
I have purchased and leased a lot of cars from out of state dealers and they all just sent me a limited power of attorney to title the car along with the MSO/MCO and in some cases a tax check.
There could be some states that collect taxes from non-residents on a purchase, but I would think this would be pretty rare and could lead to you being double taxes.
Dennis
Trade value is $14-16K
PP is $18-20K
Sugg Ret is $24
Any feedback is welcome! Thanks.
Ridgeline incentive is at $4,500 on certain models, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Pilot will get that low.
I have a feeling that inventory is getting scarcer on selected trim levels. For instance, at the dealer I bought from, there were 10 EX-L Navs in stock when I started looking 12 days ago, now he is down to just 2.
