Bought my EX-L in Gainesville, Fl
by anaky1220 on Thu Sep 20 07:59:13 PDT 2007
I had written before about a problem with Ocala Honda in Fl. Then I wrote that they called me and tried to make it right. One person on this list thought they were doing a good guy-bad guy scenario. Boy was he right. I didn't go back in but starting writing them and they reneged on the deal again. I ended up buying in Gainesville from Wade Raulerson who met my lowest quote. The only option was cargo liner. Sale price $26,353.50 includes all fees. I probably could have gotten a few hundred more off but we needed the car (thought we had it from Ocala a week before) and I was worn down. Wade Raulerson at least did exactly what they said they were going to do when they said they would do it. Anyone in Fl. it's probable best to avoid Ocala Honda

Purchase Story - EX-L w/RES DVD
by elynnwq on Sun Jul 01 08:13:10 PDT 2007
Last night we purchased a new 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L w/RES DVD for $31,100 out the door in Gainesville Florida at Wade Raulerson Honda. Here is the breakdown of the final contract: Vehicle $28,539.86 FL Tire Battery Disposal Fee $6.50 Sales Tax (6.25%) $1755.23 Registration/Title fees (new tag) $187.00 Doc Stamp Fee $105.35 Dealer Fee $499.00 ------------------------------------- Total $31,092.94 It included cargo tray and some sort of splash guard/mud guard thingy's behind the wheels. Here is the full story for those interested. I had a leased 2004 Odyssey thru my company, with the lease ending 7/3/07. This time we wanted to purchase privately. We knew exactly what we wanted - a new 2007 Odyssey EX-L w/RES DVD. My mother has a 2005 Odyssey with the new body type. I've driven it and liked it, so didn't need to go in for a test drive anywhere. We were fairly open on color. A sales person from Wade Raulerson contacted me by phone early this week because they knew the lease was coming up. They quoted me $30,490 base line / $33,045 out the door. They had one on the lot in a color we liked. I started researching online, purchased a consumer reports Odyssey price service report for $14, and reading thru this forum. Reading this forum was very enlightening! The salesperson had implied (of course) that he was offering me an excellent deal. But after reading thru here, it didn't sound so great to me. At first I thought I would just call 2 other fairly close dealerships, and asked to speak to the internet manager at each. One I left a message for and they never called me back, the other emailed me back a quote of $31,000 base, worse than the quote I already had. Back to the drawing board. I started searching online for Honda dealerships within 100 miles of us. I went to individual dealership websites and checked inventory to be sure they had one on the lot. Then I submitted request for quote thru the websites (in the end I did 5 total). Some let you include a detailed note, some don't. Most sent automated responses initially. It is important to respond to the automated responses even if you had already included all your info in the initial online request. Points I learned to include: - the exact model we wanted - that we wanted to purchase in time to take advantage of the 4.9% financing being offered by Honda thru 7/5 - that we have excellent credit - that I had already calculated monthly payments, knew we could afford them and was just looking to find the best price we could - that I wanted an "Out the door" quote including all taxes, tag, dealer fees, doc fees, and anything else - that we would need a new tag (not transferring one) I was amazed at the great response I got. The best initial response I got was $31,200 out the door from Duval Honda of Jacksonville. Holler Honda in Orlando originally came in higher than that, but was willing to go to $31,100 in response. Honda of Ocala was also competitive. Now at this point, I kind of wimped out. I probably could have spent more time, negotiated harder and maybe gotten a bit lower. But I was ready to be done, felt like we were in a reasonable price range. I called the Wade Raulerson salesperson and gave him the $31,100 out the door figure and told him if he could match it we would drop everything, come in and finish the deal. There was a long pause on the phone. He called back 30 min later and said if we could bring in a copy of the email showing the $31,100 quote they would meet it. After that it was so easy. We gave him credit info over the phone to get paperwork started. Total time at the dealership was 1 hour 40 min and that included a 20 min test drive just to feel comfortable everything was in working order. They had the car all ready and prepped when we got there, ready to go. There was no pressure or negotiating, just standard paperwork. At the final contract printout, they did (accidently?hummm) try to slip a $100 doc fee in after the out the door quote, but my husband just asked, 'what's this?' and the finance guy said, 'oh oops, let me fix that'. I think it helped that it was the last day of the month 6/30. And there was no shortage of Odyssey's available. Every dealership I checked had at least one on the lot in a color we would have bought. Best wishes to everyone out there still looking. :)
Honda Odyssey EX-L w/DVD
by erikaws on Thu Jun 28 07:51:05 PDT 2007
I would like to purchase in North Central FL by 6/30/07. (Gainesville, Ocala, Lake City, Jacksonville) Can anyone recommend a dealer? Should I be able to get under invoice price? Today by phone our local dealer quoted me invoice price (I think) and 2.9% or 4.9% interest and implied this was such a great deal. Thanks for any tips!
Re: Buying an EX-L or EX-L w/Navi in Miami,FL [tgenius]
by tampafred on Sat May 19 10:51:09 PDT 2007
Hey tgenius, I'm up in Gainesville so I can't speak to any dealerships in the Miami area. But if you're best price for an EX-L is $24,200 (assuming that includes delivery fee and any additional dealer fee), that's pretty good, based on the quotes I'm getting. I contacted the Internet sales dept at a few dealerships in Orlando and Jacksonville as well as the only one here in Gainesville. I also got a quote through Sam's Club. What I find is that in addition to the price for the car, they ALL include an additional "dealer fee" that has varied from $299 to $798. So make sure you ask about ALL the fees that they intend to charge as part of the total price. That said, the quotes I'm getting (excluding sales tax, tag and title, but including delivery fee and dealership fees) range from $24,953 to $25,598. The best price so far is from the dealership affiliated with Sam's Club. So if you're getting a quote for $24,200 and don't have to pay a dealer fee on top of that, you're getting much mo' better offer than I've been able to get. In fact, if I can get an EX-L that cheap, it might be worth driving to Miami for. If anyone has any suggests for me about getting a more competitive price, I'd love to hear them.
