Trikky has a WDP also, maybe he could get some up as well. The White with the Black interior is a killer combo.

Yes, it is 1500 under invoice, so that's what I figured too, that they will make up the difference on the trade-in.

Will try to get some this weekend...currently rainy here. You really need to see the color in person as I'm not sure how well it will come across otherwise.

Now with the dollar on par, it is a tough pill to swallow. The reason Canadians do not flock to their border towns and buy is that honda will not honour the warranty in Canada. If the reverse was true, you could only image the outrage.

That's crap. Who cares in Honda won't honour the warranty. Fist of all, I've had my 2006 Pilot for four years and it hasn't seen the inside of a garage let alone go in for warranty repairs. Secondly, you can buy a third party warranty for $1,500-2,000. That still leaves you with a big savings. I know one guy who bought an Acura MDX and did that. Thirdly, if there is major repair, you can across the border and any dealer will probably fix it under warranty. A hassle yes, but it is probably worth it if you have a $3,500 engine replacement job and didn't buy a third party warranty.

The biggest problem would be buying a new vehicle from a US dealer. From my understanding dealers are forbidden from knowingly selling a new car for export.

On 6/14 bought a 2011 Honda Pilot EXL with RES (4WD) for $34,466 now if I could figure out how to hook up my external Sirius Satellite radio.

They will definitely make it up. A dealer will never lose money on a vehicle. They either make it up on trade, kickbacks and dealer incentives, or are blatantly lying to you. Knowing that, they need to make a little money. But, the more research that is done helps narrow their profit margin.

OK got another good offer 50 miles from home for 2011 EX-L 4WD at $34,800 out the door. They don't have one on the lot but they will get me one with the color I want so I gave them a $300 deposit to secure me one. Now I have to wait until they find me one.

Well I got my Pilot out the door for $34,800 EX-L 4WD. They had zero left on the lot and had to sent a person to get it frrom another dealer 150 miles away. I couldn't talk them down any lower cuz they're selling them like hot cakes. 1 day in the past 2 weeks so they said.

Yes, you have to have a US address, license etc, in effect, not be Canadian.

I paid 46000 for a Touring with premium running boards, bug defector and cargo liner. There, I said it.

@Trikky, thanks for suggesting the WDP. We got the 2011 4WD Touring this past week with black interiors. It is gorgeous.

Not sure where they are making it up, but picked up the car last week at the negotiated price.

$35,799 - $8,000 (2003 EX-L trade-in) + $1,737 (tax) + $100 (tag and title) + $247 (document fee) = $29,883 out the door.

New to the board, just grabbed a 2011 Touring via lease for $550 a month with $1500 down.....
