im in the market for a new 05 odyssey ex with leather. I have been hearing that this car is in high demand and that the dealers wont go anything under msrp. $30,495.

could anyone direct me to a dealer that is reasonable.

 

No, but I'll direct you to a forum that might help.

 

Check out www.odyclub.com

The last I heard (and this was months ago so the info may be outdated) was that the only difficult ones to get were the touring models.

I have an 04 and absolutely love it. The amount of crap and people you can move around in that thing is just amazing.

 

Agreed. Search for monthly "Price Pulse" threads that track how people are doing relative to MSRP.

You could also try pricing at carsdirect.com.

 

my uncle bought his 05 oddy EX w/o leather for $27,900 plus tax and licence~

oddy is the ONLY mini van id pimp in~ hahahahaha

that van rocks~

 

How can we direct you to a dealer when you put USA as your location.

Check www.carsdirect.com and see if a dealer will contact you for their under-MSRP price.

 

As I'm actively in the market for the same, I was quoted $27,434 (aka invoice) for an EX-L at Open Road Honda of Edison NJ.

 

Our '05 EX-L was ~$27,900 plus TTL. So total was at $30,100. We bought it in Januray and the dealer actually had to do a transfer from another dealer so we only waited a week so that wasn't bad at all.

 

My parents just got the 05 touring ody and it's awesome for a minivan.

It is the most difficult one to find especially if you are looking for a certain color combo.

The other models are a little easier to find.

 

Congrats!! What color did your parents pick? We would've bought a Touring too but my parents were afraid that the PAX would be too expensive when it comes time to change them.

 

what's special about the "Touring" model ?

 

Touring models have while the EX-L doesn't:

-PAX tires
-MID (Multi-Information Display)--trip computer with programmable electronics such as programmable door locks, speed sensitive or interval wipers, headlight off delay, tire pressure monitor, memory driver seat, etc...
-Front and rear park assist with display on the MID
-360w CD changer with 7 speakers (including a subwoofer under the front passenger seat
-Automatic headlights
-Power adjustable pedals
-Power liftgate
-Fog lights
-Center console between the middle seats
-Auto-dimming mirror
-115-volt outlet

It's a lot more stuff over the EX-L. If you get the Navi on either EX-L or Touring, you'll get the RES (DVD system), rear camera for reverse, and XM radio with a standard 3-month subscription.

 

My parents bought the Touring with Navi/RES last November. Awesome van. I'm actually driving it now since my Prelude is in the shop.

 

My parents got the Slate Green Metallic.

I wanted them to get White, but they were too impatient to look for a dealer that had one.

 

Before buying my wife's MDX, we contacted 4 dealers via fax and basically made them compete against each other. Bought from the lowest bidder and saved about $5K below MSRP and about $100 below invoice. So, the trick is to contact as many dealers as possible. Goodluck on your search.

 

GOt mine one month ago from Gillman Honda in Houston. EX-L out the door for $30,480. It was not the cheapest from my research, but they had the color combo my wife wanted and it was only 10 miles from my house.

We got the ocean Mist metllic. Good luck. This is a great minivan.

 

Whoa! 22's on a Odyssey. . . Saw this on odyclub.com

 

Bling bling! Imagine that in BLACK!

 

He needs to lower that Ody a little bit more. It would probably look even better with the OEM bodykit on it.

 

What does that look like?

 

I got these pics from College Hills Honda website:













IMO, looks good.

 

yep its a minivan...


And I fucking love it. Odys own.

 

You can get a freakin Odyssey with a kit from Honda, but the CL no way. . .
