Question From Dan: Your opinion please: best/reasonable trade-allowance should accept for 2005 Honda Pilot EX-L (standard EX-L equipment), Taffeta White; 40800 miles; good-to-excellent condition per industry definitions; Phoenix-area; trading-in on new 2008 Honda CR-V EL-X 2-WD; no financing involved; have a confirmed price on the new car itself $1154 below the MSRP sticker of $26,135. Thank you.

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Dan! Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

For a 2005 Honda Pilot EX-L with 40,800 miles, prices range from $16,600 (being in above average condition) to $15,200 (being in average condition) and $13,900 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $15,500 to $19,000.

If you trade in your Pilot you should expect to get the wholesale value for it. Have you though about private selling your car? It might save you a few extra hundred in comparison to trading in. Take some nice digital shots and post an ad up in Craigslist or AutoTrader.

With the prices below we can see that you can negotiate a bit more for the 2008 Honda CR-V.

How do you apply these prices?

Print out all the blue links and take them to your local Honda dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Sales/Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up a Honda dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. This car in New York should cost the same in California. The taxes vary by state.

Follow Up Comment: Thanks for the quick reply. This is the car I currenty own. I just wanted to see where I stand. I bought it new in 2005 for $20,500 and I have driven by a few dealerships and they have them sitting on the lots with $20,000 and up price tags. I understand that the dealers set their price with room for negotiations.
