I did that with my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado. Based on my research I believed I could get at least $5K for it. Was planning to sell it on my own, but CarMax offered me as much as I'd hoped to get through private sale so I was happy to sell it to them for much more than CARS value.
CarMax folks were great to work with. Good luck!

1)37,605 34,275 w/Dest + TTR
2)36,895 33,665 w/oDest + TTR
3)37605 33,125 w/Dest + TTR
Clearly #3 is the best pricing
But is it a good price outside these three dealers.
Thanks for the time
We looked at '09s back when they had the $1500 dealer cash, but didn't finalize before it ended. We are glad we didn't.
can you suggest any dealers in wa who give lower than invoice price.
Thanks in advance.
They told me the factory invoice was $38,8xx.00.
I gave them 4K down plus my trade in (1k). The color I wanted was on its way in (they didnt have it on the lot but it was in their computer).
I got the extended warranty for $2,100 and they dropped my APR .25%.
1 week later they told me they made a mistake and had sold that car (hence it was not on the lot).
What actions should I take? And why is their invoice so much more then truecar and consumerguide?
Because it's a year newer...less depreciation when we drove off the lot than an '09 would have been.
Is the C4C credit apply b4 tax+fees or after? As I always operate under the assumption that the C4C credit goes towards the purchase price... not after taxes and fee (or the final purchase price)....
:lemon:
All the ones I got are around 33600 - 33800 before TTL. Please let me know if anyone got better quotes.
Any help is appreciated.
had the car, you'd be potentially very disappointed at your answer.
Always post BEFORE buying.
That vehicle lists for: 40245 plus 710 destination
invoice is 36442 plus 710 destination
So, total invoice is 37152.00
That is a FAR CRY FROM THE 38800 you were quoted.
You should be able to buy that car all day long all over for 37600-38000
This would give a dealer 500-800 profit plus his holdback which is 2-3 percent
of list, or in this case another 800 to 1000 dollars.
As to the warranty, I've been in a Honda finance dept and I can tell you that
their dealer cost on a 6 year/100k warranty with zero deductible is less
than 700.00. If you paid 2100.00 for a warranty, then you effectively allowed
them to make more on the warranty than they typically do on a car.......
my advice to you would be to use your factory warranty of 3/36bumper to
bumper and 5 year/60k mi powertrain and then decide whether to buy extended
coverage. The dealer's assertion that you CAN ONLY BUY IT NOW......is absolute
hogwash.....they are lying plain and simple.....don't believe me? Call one
and tell them you have a Honda with 35K miles and you want to extend
the coverage. They'll roll out the welcome mat for you......
As to your APR being lowered .25%? That doesn't come close to making
up for the 1400.00 profit they made on a typical warranty......
I hope you know there are sources offering 3.99 for 60 months and my credit
union is currently offering 4.75% for up to 78 months!
I was looking hard at a Honda Pilot touring. I ended up buying a base
Acura MDX with a longer warranty, more luxury and full time all wheel drive
for 37215.00. They have a 2K dealer incentive right now. Sure, I've got to
add the DVD and it doesn't have NAV, but even with NAV and all the other
stuff that goes with the technology package, you could likely get one around 40K
and add an Alpine DVD player for 500.00
That brings me to the next thing folks:
Any time you buy a vehicle with the DVD slot in the dash, that DVD drive
is covered by the BASIC warranty of the vehicle for adjustments, which
is 12 months or 12,000 miles. Why? It's an internal moving part subject
to dust, and failure may not be from manufacturing defect.......think of
it as a set of brake pads, they're not covered either......
SO: that drive will run you 2500.00 typically if it breaks. Save your $$
Buy a really good aftermarket DVD unit all integrated for 500.00 and when
it breaks, rip it out, buy another one and throw it away. Marrying a DVD
player to a car that's subjected to heat every day is not a smart move......
few things you posted are inaccurate.
1st - any time you buy a honda extended warranty you will pay less if you have less miles on the vehicle - I don't know what the magic number is - but you will definitely pay more for less coverage if you go in @ 35K than say 5K. So if you want the coverage - buy it early and shop online for it many sites out there you can use to get the dealer down to a realistic level.
2nd - the dvd coverage you mentioned is simply not true. At least not with the honda care warranty - you can easily find the actual contract online - it only excludes non authorized american honda ELECTRONIC/AUDIO ACCESSORIES/NAVIGATIONAL, DVD ENTERTAINMENT AND SECURITY SYSTEMS. So your advice may be sound to buy an aftermarket system and save some money in general - however - the idea that a factory system isn't covered by the full length of the warranty is simply untrue.
car policy at 35k good til 100k than a new car policy at 0k til 100k that
really doesn't take over until 36k.
According to my brother in law's dealer cost guide, the difference to the
dealer for these figuring 0 deductible is 220.00.
HOWEVER, in this case you did not have to pay interest on the warranty
for the first 36k miles you put on the car which should offset most if not
all of that 220.00. This sort of difference might or might not be passed on
to the customer, but it should/could. I was mostly referring to the absolutely
exorbinant price regardless that he was asked to pay for a warranty.
2nd - Most DVD repairs are not due to manufacturers defect, they are due
to dust/dirt and liquids. Ask your dealer if after the 12K mile adjustment period
if they would replace a skipping dvd player that obviously had signs of armorall
inside it and I would ask you to post the answer here, since you say I'm wrong....
Of course they will replace it if it's under the B-B warranty for DEFECT,
but how many folks keep cars longer than 3 years, LOTS on HOnda I would hope.
A top flight Alpine DVD unit costs 599 installed. That is 1/4 the cost of a replacement for a Honda DVD drive/electronics unit in dash.
Price $35,468
TT&L $1,684
Total OTD: $37,152
Less $3500 for Cash for Clunkers
Is this a good deal? Thanks for your help.
Which dealer did you use? Thanks.
If I sold my 97 Explorer for $2,000 I would still have a better deal not using the rebate.
Bottom line.....I went to the dealer that offered the Internet price of $31,368 including destination.....not including NC tax, license or 398 doc fee.
So...don't feel sorry for the dealers, they are not giving the rebates in addition to their best prices!
2010 Pilot EX 4WD - 29,303 Plus $710 dest (+tax/ttl/doc fees) + free oil change for 7years or 100,000 miles. (minus $3,500 rebate for my Chevy Astro van clunker).
BTW, this is in Central NJ.
This is a very informative forum, thanks for all the advice.
To me the price looks good as it is almost $ 500 below invoice and almost $ 1,600 below TMV.

Open Road Honda gave me a lower quote but with the free oil change and plus DCH having lower doc fees it came out even at the end. I went with DCH since they're the first I dealt with and it's nearer my place. Also got better reviews from dealerrater.com.
Kindly share the price details and name of the dealer.
It would help if you can give the price breakdown: Vehicle price + TT + Doc Fees + Freight
Thanks!
