Topic: Good Honda Dealer in BC

[BC_Kevin]

Hi,

Im thinking of buying a 2005 or 2006 odyssey in BC. Kelowna is closest buy im getting the old $500 off MSRP routine. I am willing to go to Vancouver if need be. I have the dealer invoice and would be willing to pay 1000-1500 over.

Can anyone recommend a dealer that sells for a reasonable profit.

Thanks,

Kevin

I also live in Kelowna and agree that the dealers (generally) don't deal quite as much as Vancouver. Have you tried the dealer in Vernon?

I would really think it over on going to Vancouver as the hassle may not be worth the drive. Make some phone calls/emails first and see who responds. The new Ody is in demand and Honda dealers anywhere may not discount too much.

Remember, there is more to buying/owning a vehicle that a few hundred 4 on the purchase price.

You may be out of luck if you expect to get more than $500 off MSRP even in Vancouver.  Honda dealers don't usually deal all that much.  Try the APA:

Think about the time, effort, and costs for you to travel to Vancouver (maybe more than once) to make a purchase.  Maybe try a dealer closer to home.  Honda, like many japanese manufacturers, doensn't have to pay people to buy their cars.  But their cars are generally worth it.

There was this thing in Economics class I seem to remember...uh... supply and demand...that's it

1 more thing Kevin, if you buy from a dealer hundreds of miles away, after you have spent time dickering at your local dealer, then there comes a time where you need service, maybe looking for a loaner, some special consideration on warranty, whatever, what do you expect your local guy to do for you when you didn't support him? An Odyssey is such an easy sell to a buyer who knows what he is talking about that I am not surprised they don't want to discount much. Ask if he will do $1000 off, that is a fair compromise for everybody.
