My wife and I just test drove the 2009 Honda Pilot EXL 2WD and were really impressed with it. The invoice price is $33,595. MSRP is $34,230.
I went ahead and contacted every Honda Internet dept. in metro Atlanta to get drive out prices. Four places in which I actually spoke with a person gave me $36,800+. Carey Paul Honda gave me a price of $34,724.34 drive out price (tax, tag, title, lemon law included). I had to contact him again to be perfectly sure. Honda Carland was the next dealership I contacted and she thought that price was a rue to get us into the dealership. She contacted me within 10 minutes offering $34,499 drive out price. She is also verifying whether the .9% APR they are offering includes this vehicle. I am still contacting each of the Honda dealerships to see if they can beat it.
The tax is 6% in Gwinnett County GA.

My dad's deal:
2008 Honda Pilot EX-L, 2WD, auto
$24,900 w/out TTL
My deal:
2008 Honda Pilot EX-L, 4WD, auto
$26,219 w/out TTl
We bought these from Stockton Honda. Lodi Honda was also offering the same deal.
MSRP is $35,830 and INVOICE is $32,498. No one seems willing to deal. One dealer is offering a lifetime warranty with purchase. Looks like drive out will be MSRP if I can't wait. No incentives or lower apr for financing.
I keep going back and looking at the '08 models, great deals right now. But the differences between the two years seems pretty great. We drove both on Saturday and the back seats have so much more room - feels more than 2inches. Just the luxury items are impressive.
Taxes here in Chicago are at 9.25%
Are you sure about the 24,500? That would be over 5,000 under invoice and a great price!
I knew I would have new car envy with the '09s, but I couldn't justify the price differential, even with all the new stuff on the '09 model. Plus, I don't really care for how the '09 looks.
MSRP 28,194
OFF 5,306
NOW 22,888
A month ago, I was with a friend, he bought HL LTD w/NAV, DVD MSRP: $42,250, priced down to $37,350... $4,900 OFF MSRP
It won't be long the All New 09 Pilot has to sell under MSRP.
**************************************
You don't need to wait!
I was testing the waters last week, and the offer I received from my current dealer was $800 off sticker. I decided to play the game, and I emailed 12 other dealers in a 100-mile radius.
4 dealers didn't respond.
4 dealers said they are selling at MSRP - no discounts.
4 dealers offered discounts: $1,000, $800, $1,000 and $2,400 (Paul Miller Honda in Caldwell, NJ)
I took the $2,400 discount to my current dealer (Mahwah Honda in NJ, they were not anxious to make this deal for others) and asked him to match it. He matched it and 24 hours later, I drove off in my new '09 Pilot.
Completely unexpected, but I know a decent deal when I see one...
**************************************
2008-wise only down to 4 SE's. They had a EX-L with nav on their inventory on the internet but apparently that's 2 weeks old.
My wife didn't like the larger size and shape of the Pilot, and we need a new car sooner rather than later. For the mid-30's price it would cost, I'd rather have an MDX. Premium gas isn't that big a deal if you do the calculations.
Price $26,329 plus tax and lic.{MSRP $30,380.00}.
If I pay cash or financing other than AHF there is $4500.00 Bonus Cash.
If I use AHF the rate are 0.9% for 36 mons. or 2.9% for 60 mons. and $2500 Bonus Cash.
So the final price will be $23,829 / $21,829 plus tax and lic.
How is the deal?
I am thinking they should do something soon to move these new suv's, either a rebate or good apr. But Honda seems to be taking their time as if the gas prices are gonna be going down soon. Edmunds has not listed the 09's yet. Go figure!!
I would appreciate any input, suggestions or advice on where to get the money.
I have excellent credit and would be puting a nice chunk of cash down.

Decided to get one while our color of choice is still available at a local SE Pa dealership. The purchase price of a new silver 08 Pilot SE was $27350 with 0.9% 36 month financing + $165.95 (title & doc) + tax.
If they can match cardirect, the price is $23,142 (including destination charge), then they might get a deal
All the 09's are placed on the most supreme spot. That will draw 08 model buyers to test 09 and may end up drive the 09 off the lot instead.
Not many 09's on the lots.
Waiting lists and deposits required to secure the one you want that will have to be "ordered."
Nothing less than MSRP, no incentives, etc.
People that want them are going dealership to dealership trying to find the one they want. Either will take what they do have on the lot or be put on a list.
I was in one showroom on Saturday last week and people were crawling over themselves to get the one on the showroom floor.
They are stocking heavier on the Touring models.
The 09 sticker made me sick to my stomach. The knowledge that when the 09s do fully drop on the lots and there will be more choices and more negotions after I paid full MSRP, made me really sick to my stomach.
I picked up an 08. I'm thrilled with my 08'. Off the lot in a EXL RES 2WD w/ 8 year/120K ext warranty, TTL included - under $30K. And I got the exact color combo I wanted with no wait.

Very impressed with the car and is much bigger than 2008. We need the space as we carpool and have a big family.
I am shopping for an EX-L in west coast
Mocha Metallic 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L 2WD
Current drive out price offer: $33,899. We did not accept this and told them $33,600. Ed Voyles Honda.
Another dealership that has our second choice of a Dark Cherry offered us $33,600. Honda Carland.
Does anyone have anything better or any comments? I've been advised to go lower than this.
thx
Anyway, we went to dealer and got the deal for EX-2WD for less than 22k + TTL but they didn't have the color my wife wanted, the saleman asked for few days but no luck and I can't change her mind
I'm in houston too and am in mkt for a '09 pilot. Am looking at Touring.
Did you look at & compare EX-L & Touring?
Thanks!
Thanks
If it is includes TTL then it's ok
Just got 08 SE $23,500 + TTL silver. Invoice is about $29,250
You're right. It is SE 2WD. The quote was $23,500 (non refinance with Honda) and $24,500 (2.9% with Honda). So depends on your credit you can calculate to get the lowest payments you can go.
It is in So. Cal in Loma Linda (Spreen Honda).
My kids really love the DVD, no more whining for the long trip. The dad is happy
Edit: The prices above are already included the destination charge.
The invoice for EX-L AWD/Nav is $32,911 (include des. charge)
$5000 les than invice = $27,911
8% tax = $2,233
Fee + License = $280
Total ~ $30,424 is prety much close to your number which is $30,478.
If you can go finance with Honda 2.9%, I think you have a good deal
