Does Honda have 0% or 0.9% financing when they are trying to clearance out the 2011? What months are they doing the clearance? July or August? Is there a sale going on Memorial Day weekend?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I don't really have the answers you're looking for. But since no one else has replied to you yet, I thought I'd throw this out there for you to consider...
There continues to be talk of a supply problem due to the ongoing problems in Japan. While this did not seem to have any effect on my recent buying experience, I would be a little nervous about waiting several months to make a purchase. I think I'd try to do some research on how "real" the supply problem is or is likely to become. Just a thought...
Also, I don't know when the Honda finance rates might drop again. I think they went up around the first of May. (They were still at 0.9/1.9 at the end of April, when we purchased.) I don't know if there is a predictable cycle for finance deals or not.
I think rates currently stand at 1.9/2.9 (for 36/60 months). Depending on how much you actually want to finance, it might not be worth the wait for the lower rates. You could play with a payment calculator to help you decide. On our Pilot, we financed substantially less than the sale price; so a 1% difference in rates would not have made much difference in our monthly payment.
I brought my Pilot 2009 4WD EX-L with RES for 32,200 + TTL exactly 2 yrs ago.
How have prices gone up?
Thanks for the information!
As for Weymouth for price benchmarking. Has anyone in California had them ship it out a Pilot to them and what was the experience?
Any advice would be great.
We're now officially a 3 car household. All 3 cars are Hondas.

Good Luck!
Also just as info for the board, i had the following recent quotes, again from PA area:
2011Pilot EX-L, Nav, 4WD: $34,377
2011Pilot Touring, 4WD: $36,907
I am buying my new 2011 Touring over the weekend!
Thanks!
Cap Cost -$34,442 (including running boards + $595 acquisition fee)
Residual -56% of MSRP - $36,375 = $20,370
Money Factor - .00142 (assuming tier one credit)
Drive off cost – $1,161.62 ($577.87 + $45 doc fee + $530 DMV and $8.75 tire fee)
Payment -$533.49 incl tax (Los Angeles County)
Now to me, that cap cost/selling price is high. I'm not a fan of working MSRP down but rather invoice up. From what I've seen and found on the internet, invoice is about 32K. So am I right in thinking this dealer is trying to take advantage of me. Thanx in advance.

Questions give me a ring programs are good thru end of month or until supplies last...Prices subject to change or vehicles are subject to prior sale..
I can tell you that my Pilot came with splash guards and I did not pay extra for them.
i'm not far from them so I may make the trip... but wanted to know if their prices are real
thanks :confuse:
......but if you are really itchy and want to pull the trigger...then go ahead...
The Sticker Price should be the OTD price if you are in the State of California... don't be afraid to walk away....there is a lot of dealership, I'm sure they will chase you once you're about to leave. I used to sell cars....the desk is the Devil in the dealerships.
I am planning to buy a Honda Pilot EX-L AWD with Nav. Most dealers are quoting invoice of $35000 plus $500 add ons plus $500 additional. Costco pricing is mostly $500 over invoice. So net Out the Door price is turning out to be around $39K.
This seems to be high. Given holdback is about $700. And I think Honda is giving dealers $1000 cash back for every card sold.
Is $39k reasonable or is $37K more reasonable for the Out the Door price inclusive of taxes and all charges?
What are the risks of buying a demo car from the dealer? And what things one should watch out for while evaluating purchase of such a car?

Excellent to work with.
I went in at the end of May they only had 2 Touring editions on the lot. 1 2wd Silver (asking $35912.) and 1 4wd Black. I knew I wanted Bali Blue. They had been hunting a 2wd Bali Blue down for me over the last few weeks. Called last week saying they could get it for me.
Went in with documentation and everything in writing of what I was willing to pay for the vehicle and what I wanted for my trade in. After 1 round of me telling this is what it will take for me to purchase the vehicle they agreed.
Round 1 Offer:
Sales Price $35201 (agreed immediately)
Trade - in $11,000 (2008 Honda Cr-v LX high miles)
Round 2:
Sales Price: $35201
Trade-in $13,500 (what I wanted)
I am very happy with the deal I received plus 1.9% financial through Honda.
This forum was a HUGE help in information on what I should pay and resources.
When is 2012 Honda Pilot expected to be in dealerships? Couldnt find any info on the web
got 11k on my 06 ex-l which needed brakes and the check engine and vtm4 light was on
added on honda care 5yr 100k for 1100...
but then saw a quote online for 940 and 900
anyone know if i can cancel and then signup again?
My target price for a new Pilot was around 37~38K and the final offer I've got is 46K. There is no way that I pay 46K for Honda. What's reasonable price in northern Va area for a Touring?
Please share.
Many of the negative reviews I read focused on appearance, both inside and out. (Apparently a lot of people don’t like the grill and front end. Some seem to think portions of the interior look “cheap.”) But I like the Pilot’s appearance. It looks more truck-like to me than many other SUV’s, and that appeals to me.
After two months of ownership, here are some thoughts:
(1) Gas mileage – We’re averaging just over 18 mpg, so far. Some owners have reported improved mileage after the break-in period.
(2) Variable Cylinder Management – This might be my biggest complaint, although it’s not a big deal. I can often “feel” the cylinders kicking in and out. It’s very subtle and doesn’t bother my wife at all; but it bugs me a little.
(3) Buttons on dash – There are a LOT of buttons to control the radio, A/C, etc. It’s a little overwhelming and I haven’t adjusted to it yet. I find myself having to “look around” for the right button much of the time.
(4) Odometer toggle – I like to toggle between the various odometer displays to check gas mileage, etc. The placement of the button makes this awkward. (I’d prefer a button with placement similar to our Civic.)
(5) Wheels – 17 inches seems too small for this vehicle. I’d prefer at least 18.
(6) Towing wiring harness – I wish this was standard. (It might be on the Touring.)
(7) Glove compartment – There is a “shelf” (for lack of a better word) above the glove compartment. I would prefer no shelf and a bigger glove compartment.
As far as positives, there are a lot! I love the way it drives Road noise is not bad Love the exterior Love the interior Lots of storage Useful seating/cargo configurations that are easy to use And, it’s a Honda!
This is my wife’s primary vehicle, and she loves it. We have three young children. There is plenty of room and plenty of latches for car seats. We’re able to put all three car seats in the 2nd row, when needed.
Hope this helps a little. If you have specific questions, let me know. You might also take a look at www.piloteers.org. I haven’t gone as far as signing up yet, but I’ve found lots of useful information there.
