Indeed, there has been a drop in price, its about $500 less compared to week back. Zag - USAA, overstock and Costco, showing about $500 less than overstock. Is their price a good price or can I get any lower? I am not a good haggler, dont want to spend days going back and forth between dealers just for a few hundred dollars... I am thinking of sticking with the zag price and see what happens. 0% ends October 2nd, next week want to zero in on something... Any last piece of advise?
Oh btw, as of now leaning towards Highlander, but will be visiting the Honda dealer on Monday...
It's always better to know what the dealer paid and negotiate up from that price. Zag was fairly accurate when I purchased.
Last piece of advice is to read at least the last few months of the Edmund's Pilot and Highlander forums (there may be rebates to dealers that bring down dealer cost and are not reflected in the online prices).
For example, when I bought my Pilot I was unaware that Honda was giving dealers a $3,000 rebate if they were able to get their customers to finance through them. Many dealers were willing to share that rebate with customers. I was paying cash and my dealer did not mention the rebate. If I had seen this discussed in the Edmund's forum (indeed it was) I would have found an appropriate dealer, financed, and then just paid it off later. That was an expensive oversight on my part. (And if you decide on a Pilot, check if that rebate is still available to dealers).
Good luck to you.
