Iowa Honda Car Dealers

The price of the 4WDs in the South is really high. Most of the dealers don't carry them in stock, and the ones that come by are far and between. Hence, the prices are higher. I had to walk out of Royal Honda in Metairie, Louisiana after they refused $32,950 before TTL for an EX-L 4WD that they had in stock. They wanted to sell me the towing hitch for $550 or something like that with the package and I just refused. Overall, walked out with a bitter feeling in my mouth because the way the manager and sales personnel treated/spoke with us. If Honda is reading, please take note and straighten out your dealer in Metairie.

Congrats! $31,890 for 2011 Pilot EX-L 4wd is a very, very good price!!! To all please note todate $31,890 is a great price and to no surprise it happens to be in the midwest. There seems to be movement every where else so if you have time do not give dealers those extra $300 dollars!!! and let them know this model should not command $32.2-ish anymore...

2011 EX-L 4WD BASIC (NO NAV, NO RES, nothing extra, so just basic model) 31,890 no trade involved. Fellow consumer, remember lease/financing is your personal business with Honda Financial Services not a factor to be considered by dealer in negotiation of the final price. So negotiate as you would pay cash, and only THEN explore financing options. Although do not forget to add fees associated with purchases/financing (see below) I PERSONALLY was considering two options December Option 1. 1.9% for 60 months December Option 2. Lease (12k, 36months, RV-57%, MF-0.00139%) Things to remember: documentation fee: varies but usually in range of 99-270 in midwest; acquisition fee 595 (Honda financial set fee) Personal Experience: Nebraska and Iowa dealers are looking for "that one gold sale" which will bring a lots of cash, so no luck on negotiation a good deal here. Try more populated areas like MO and KS. Good luck to everyone, Pilot is a great car!

Hard to follow this forum...Not sure where we stand in the grand scheme of things we ended up paying $32,416 (dealer invoice w/ detination charges). We added fog lights and remote start on top, plus TTL. Not sure how well we did but thought we did OK here in Northern IA.

Where did you hear/see this rumor? Because there are not a lot of 2009 model out there, I don't see the need to bring back the $2.5k incentive to clear the lot which is almost empty by now.
