2016 Honda Pilot Prices
Hi Friends,
I just wanted to see what all prices/deals you have been able to get on the new honda Pilot 2016.
I have hardly been able to get any discount off MSRP which we very unlike any other car.
So I just wanted to see what others have been able to?
PS: this is strictly pricing thread, I know a lot of haters of design out there. But please do not crap this thread with your hate.

Discounts should come as soon as supply increases - look at the CR-V for example. I guess the CR-V is a bigger volume seller, but prices on it came down relatively fast.
If you can't wait, then you'll have to pay a bit extra to be the first kid on the block. Meanwhile, shop around, get a lot of quotes and if you are able, expand your search area out a couple of hundred miles or more.
(and part of your problem is that a lot of people prefer the new look over the former boxy style).
But looking at how things are going, the prices might not be coming down enough any time soon

I agree there are numerous options other than a pilot but that wasn't the point of this discussion.
Thanks!
Maybe a nice road trip back East is your cup of tea?
Anyone else Pilot shopping (anywhere)?
The Pilot has always been built on the Odyssey platform. Not sure that makes it mediocre.

I know somebody is buying them - I spotted one in my town just yesterday.
I'm sure somebody will be along soon to let us know what kind of discount they did (or didn't) get.

option 1: Pay 1000$ over INVOICE and wait for delivery 2~3 months
Option 2: Pay 1500$ over INVOICE and take what is in stock (not my preferred color)
What trim level is this?

I will make a Negotiating suggestion that I gave to @justforasking5 to this Pilot forum. Supply is very limited so all Honda dealers wont give into that better price yet. Make a target list of 10,15, 20 dealerships in and around your area. Call dealerships Internet dept. try to speak only to the Int/ mgr. if its not possible go thru his staff.
Tell each dealership you will buy the vehicle today for Invoice price. ( maybe 500 above gets it done right now. ) You are giving there dealership the first opportunity to earn your business then go down your list of dealerships. If it takes 15 or 20 dealerships to get invoice you did well. But if all 20 say NO then make your best deal out of the lot. If you are still not happy with price repeat this buying tactic next month on the last day of the month.
This negotiation tactic only works at the end of each month Last 2 days , last day of the month. You guys have nothing to lose. Try buying this way first it will save you all that wasted time in the dealership, the headaches, lies, and bait and switches they do. The majority of 2016, Pilot buyers will pay $$ to get one now. As @michaell and @stever have posted supply and demand are big factors. Again if money is not a issue make the best deal out of your targeted dealerships. You did all you could do this month pricewise. . If you live near boarding states apply the same negotiating tactic.
I bought my 2003 Honda Pilot in beaver creek, Ohio. At Hidy Honda. My area NY at the time was getting MSRP plus 500 deposit for vehicles. Out in OH. deals for 1000 below invoice were being had...... See my point.
2016 Pilot deals in Chicago................................ forget it!!!!!! Not right NOW
MA, MD, VA, CA. may be the only states right now offering better pricing.
I was at Coast Honda in NJ yesterday looking at the 2016 Pilot . They had 1 . Buying that vehicle at invoice price was not happening yesterday.
One other note to the forum . If you read other Honda forum discussions boards / threads take note of good deals from dealerships in your area. That's most likely were you too may make a better deal on a Honda pilot at months end.
If any of you guys need some guidance give me a yell............................Brian125

Brilliance, Muller, Lisle, Valley of Aurora, Fletcher Jones, Pauly, Ed Napleton and Joliet. We have made some very good deals thru the years with these dealerships.
Brilliance Honda is the rising star of this bunch. End of the month purchases have been exceptional.
Good luck

END of the month for best pricing. You are considered just another SHEEP going to the slaughter house on the 10th of the month. Separate your self from the others.
The 500 above invoice price deal is the dealer you try to buy from at months end. (30th or 31st ) Use that price to negotiate with the others on the 30th and 31st. The 200/300 plus doc fee is going to be added to every deal with all your dealerships. Your goal is to have dealer throw in the etching and buy vehicle at 500 above invoice unless you could work a better deal.
Wait...... wait..... wait 2 more weeks before you buy.

Etching one is not ready to remove it, the option he gave was etching +500 or 1000+ no etching...
looks like they just want to make some thing extra.
If I know dealer X will sell for 500 above invoice price plus doc fee what I do is on July, 30th at 6pm start all my calls to all of my targeted dealerships Telling each Internet manager . I am offering you the sale right Now for invoice price on this model . X Honda down the road wants 500 above invoice plus tax, doc, dmv ( otd.)
Do you want this sale Now otherwise I'm calling the rest of the Honda dealers around you with the same offer.
If any Dealer tells you ok mr. @koolwadz I will match dealer X's 500 above Invoice but wont go lower My next question is ok beat dealer X by Throwing in 3 or 4 free oil changes , maybe splash guards , or all season mats / door edge. , etc .
By the end of my last targeted call if nobody will beat the 500 above invoice price I buy from X Honda. And that folks is how you buy a vehicle making your best price at months end. Your most leverage is at the very end of every month. If you Plan on buying any new Vehicle do your homework and research the first 3 weeks of that month. This means know your exact model, options, color, price of the car , dealers doc fee charges, a list of your targeted dealerships with the internet managers names and emails. The more dealerships you get involved in the price wars the better you will do.
Last few days of the month is when you start your negotiations hoping one of your targeted dealerships needs end of the month sales numbers. .

Question specifically to Pilot 2016, with the current demand and negligible supply, do you think dealerships would negotiate on month end?

End of the month will give you the best shot at a lower price now and always in the car buying world. Above poster is correct . As soon as supply is more avail. dealers will lower pricing .
good luck

I sell Hondas at a large Honda dealer in Texas and i can tell you that supply is very low so most dealers are selling these vehicles for 2 or 3 thousand dollars above MSRP my suggestion to you is wait a few months. There are some dealers that are not allowed to sell New vehicles above the MSRP but that all depends on the dealership. But if you must have one now and cant wait my suggestions to you would be to find a salesman you like ask him to call you as soon as discounts are given on 16 Pilots but be nice about it and more than likely he will call you on the last few days of the month.
IF you go into a dealership DEMANDING discounts you are not gonna get anywhere especially on these hard to find vehicles.
i can tell you this, in midwest getting 500-1000 below MSRP is very realistic n happening, its when you demand more it gets tricky.
I use the Edmunds forums often and felt obliged to share.
Picked up my Black Touring AWD Pilot last Friday in CT.
$1500 off MSRP and added Trailer Hitch, All Weather Mats and tow hitch at invoice pricing.
Didn't negotiate hard, my needs/wants were greater than desire to nail down my ideal "fair price". Ordered it and waited 6-7 weeks for my color.
We are trying to do the same thing but with the elite. We're ok if we don't get it. At this price point, we're also looking at the MDX Advance, Lexus GX and Tahoe. I was told by my cousin who works at Honda Corp. that dealerships will be getting A LOT more of them towards the end of October/beginning November. Best of luck to you too!
Thanks
I ended up having to go and trade on Labor Day (Sept 7, 2015). I was trading my 2006 Honda Pilot EX-OR (named "The Beast") and had just north of 137k on him. In the last 30k I have replaced the radiator, PS pump, tie rods, axle boot, timing belt, tensioners, ATF pump and fluid, and PS rack. Needless to say I've put almost $7500 in repairs since Oct '14. I had already worked up some numbers from one of our 4 local Honda Dealers on a leftover '15 Touring and was at $4400 trade on the '06. I also worked up the numbers on a '15 Toyota 4Runner with a trade of $5000. Both of these were done at the end of July before I had to make an emergency trip to Knoxville.
So we come to Labor Day weekend and my wife says because of the holiday why don't we check the Honda dealers pages and see what inventory they had. We already had the 4Runner set from Saturday, but wanted to see what kind of Holiday deal we could pull from Honda. We decided to go to the dealership we originally purchased the '06 from. They had 2 EX, 1 EX-L, 1 EX-L/RES (arrived that morning from another dealership), 1 Elite (way out of price range).
They were going to keep me at the $4400 trade and we worked up the deal on the EX-L/RES (stickered $40,500). I had them run the numbers with the Trailer Package ($900 installed) added into it (total now= $41,400). The dealership came back with $653/60 month or $605/72 month. I sent a text to the wife ( I may be a Horses [non-permissible content removed], but I ain't stupid) and waited for a reply. While I was waiting I asked the sale person to run the number with the Roof Rails / Crossbars ($1000 installed) added into it to see what the difference would be. While I was waiting for both their replay amd my wife to get back to me, I called the Toyota dealer to see if the 4Runner was still available, but they were actually closed on Labor Day. So as the dealer came back, he told me the difference with the RR/CB was $100 more per month either way ($753/60, $705/72). I countered and said my wife was happy with the $605 (even though I had not spoken to her.) and to go ahead with that. I then asked to sweeten the deal, why not increase the trade in amount to cover the RR/CB (make it a wash), taxes, and transfers. The dealer said that it shouldn't be a problem and we'll do it. So I ended up pushing the Trade up to $5700 on the '06. We added the Full coverage bumper-to-bumper to the '16 and ended up actually at $609 month for 75 months (due to the B2B coverage.)
I have to admit, even though the Pilot lost is boxyness, it does ride nicer than the '06. Then again, the '06 did have a heavier Off-Roading gearing and suspension under it with the Off-road package that was on it.

I got this Quote from an orlando dealer today..
Does it look good?
2016 Honda pilot EX-L with RES
Make: Honda
Year: 2016
MSRP: $38,405.00
ePrice: $35,139.00
Model: Pilot EX-L RES
Honda Destination Charge: $830.00
Best Price: $35,969.00
Just Add Tax, Tag, Title, & $699 Dealer Fee
Have you made the purchase? Looking for EX-L without RES. Any idea what could be the better price?
Thanks!
Guess it always pays to keep your options open.
Manny again. I am also looking for a 2016 FWD Pilot EX-L with Honda Sensing. The TMV Value for this car is $36,991 and the invoice is $34,773. I was quoted $35,772. Is this a fair deal?
I didn't update my NM zip code for one in SoCal looking at the numbers so TMV is about $100 cheaper out in CA.
Pilot prices seem to be holding strong. So yeah, fair deal. And you know about the potential for prices to ease a bit in a week as we near the end of the month.
For an AWD flavor, TMV is coming in at $39,207.
That's for a New Mexico zip - you can use my link (or the Make | Model dropdown) to dial the numbers in a bit better for your zip code. Looks like we're paying at least a $500 regional "premium" for Pilots here.
You should aim to beat TMV (and those numbers all include the destination).
When TMV prices get that close to MSRP, that's an especially good time to get a Price Promise number through Edmunds (or check with Costco and any other buying service you may be eligible for).
