This van isn't badly priced if you factor in the $4000 off for cash purchase. I would likely go for a mid level EX-Res or EX-L Res.
So 47k$ + taxes = 54k$-4k$=50k$ CASH purchase? And how many people have this sort of cash to buy a minivan? It is hardly a good cash buy.
Moreover, I thought the $4000 off was for the LX model only, to bring down the starting price so as to draw to the Honda dealers people interested on the Dodge GC with its low price tag.
Earlier this month, at least in QC, when I simulated the price of these Hondas on their website, the $4000 off only showed up on the base model, not on the EX-L trim I was looking into.
Shows up in Alberta.
So it shows up in Alberta, but not Ontario or other provinces? Well is not a good cash proposal for MOST Canadians.
So, here's what I just found for Alberta:
LX: MSRP $31,630, Cash: $31,630.00
EX: MSRP $35,790, Cash: $31,790.00 - if you're paying cash, why bother with the LX?
EX RES: MSRP $37,390, Cash: $33,790.00
EX-L RES: MSRP $42,890, Cash: $38,890.00
Touring: MSRP $48,895, Cash: $44,895.00
Here's Ontario (I punched in a postal code for Oakville):
LX: MSRP $29,990, Cash: $25,990.00
EX: MSRP $34,150, Cash: $30,150.00
EX RES: MSRP $35,750, Cash: $31,750.00
EX-L RES: MSRP $41,250, Cash: $37,250.00
Touring: MSRP $47,255, Cash: $43,255.00
Looks like they are giving $4000 off all trims in Ontario, which they are not in Alberta (LX doesn't get the discount in Alberta).
Edit: I just noticed for Ontario, they don't include the freight and PDI in the MSRP, which they do for Alberta. The MSRP and Cash purchase price is the same in the 2 provinces (aside from the base LX).
