HI Annamarie ,
Thanks For This; Can you round this to 24k + Tax. Straight.
I don't want to waste your or my time going over this over and over. What is the License?

I am going to assume there are no more "Fees" (doc fee, mother's fee , father's fee etc ).

I like to deal straight. I want to come down give you the check and get the car. Let me know if this works for you....
Rgds,JC

Congrats on your new car.

But this doesn't seem on topic for this forum as this is a negotiation with a private dealership and not a promotion of some sort. Probably should be placed in deal discussions.

And that's why you can use this to your benefit...

I had read a couple of days back in this forum the Honda Odyssey EX for 24185 and this is even cheaper than that...

Enjoy

the Toyota Sienna is better

How is an EX for $24,626 even cheaper than an EX for $24185?

I believe this one is for $24,000, not $24,626. This is a fantastic deal for an EX. I paid a lot more for my EX back in 1999 when the waiting lists were common. This newer model is much better for a lot less.

Did they fix the transmissions on these yet?

I have noticed a lot of stupid people on FW lately.

They will give green to something that was posted a week ago. Then a week later the samething is for sale at a cheaper price from a different retailer and they give it red.

It just boggles my mind how people vote.

So far, it appears that from the odyclub forum posts, the 2005+ transmissions are holding up much than the 99-04 models. To Honda's credit, they replaced a lot of transmissions for free. My '99 tranny was out of warranty and Honda replaced it free of charge.

I got the same quote for the EX-L ($27592) for SoCal. If you have kids, I suggest EX-L for the easy clean up.

Usually the EX-L is less than the EX-L + Navigation and Entertainment package. I would expect to see the EX-L Navi+Entertainment version about $30k. Just wondering if this dealer had quoted that as well.
