While your statement is true, higher MSRP's equal higer invoice and higher net-net cost, which in turn, effects a higher consumer price in the end. Grant it, it may just be a couple of hundred but that is still a couple of hundred.
I am still trying to figure out why Honda raised the prices of the 2009's over the 2008's and then just a few months later they raised the prices again. I am stumped for an answer :mad: :confuse: :mad:
The dealer where I bought my EX-L had one on the showroom floor with the decklid spoiler. I wasn't impressed - OK but not great. IMHO the wing spoiler looks better, but neither is worth the $$.
Only thing that surprised me, and I didn't research going into the negotiation, was the Honda Care warranty offer which I passed on.
All in all a stressful two weeks of email exchanges with dealers but ended with a great outcome, love my new car. And I feel good about the price which is important.
Thanks again and good luck.
However, I would guess that getting invoice minus the $750.00 minus a couple of hundred is a more reasonable goal. Just my opinion
4 cyl, right? Great deal.
Dealer said I wouldn't be able to buy Honda Care at any other time if I refused, but that seems bogus. Did anyone else get this kind of sales tactic?
Thanks
Tax is 6% + ~200 in fees
Paid cash - no trade-in
Has anyone else found a better deal? I went to Sussman Honda in Abington, PA. But you have to ask for Maria or Yvette in Internet Sales. Maria is the manager and she's phenomenal. Just tell her you want the Joel Deal. I got the Alabaster Silver coupe fully loaded! If you're looking for something else, she'll get it for you. She found mine in a day and last Friday I drove it away.

Also, the car had wheel locks and I wasn't going to buy them, when I asked if they'd leave them on for free if I gave them a 5 star review on yelp.com they implied I was being greedy, I didn't push it and they kept the locks. And I have yet to decide how many stars to give them on yelp, I felt the pitch on Honda Care was dishonest since they said I couldn't buy it ever if I turned it down for $1,900!
That is a good price if:
- No trade was involved.
- It is OTD
Tax: 6.25%
Title + dealer fees: $230
OTD: $21750
Given the poor economy and bad automotive market, I have offered lowball offers of $20k then $21k (OTD price)...got rejected. What do you think should be the final, best out the door price? Also, how about if it is a "Certified Used Honda"?
I think I wait until end of March or when the dealers and Honda manufacturer start to feel the pressure harder since most of them try to sell me at the MSRP price or above invoice price.
What are you talking about? MSRP is $29375.00, invoice is $26584.00 and factory to dealer cash on V6's is $1000.00. You're no where near MSRP, or invoice for that matter. You're well below MSRP and invoice. In fact at $25K you're well in to the hold back. :confuse:
If so, hey dealers and manufacturer, why did you jack up the price?
Hey, postmasters, please change this forum title to "Seller pricing and sale experiences" to match with momentum here. Thank you.
I am in the market for a similar car. The prices last year were for the outgoing body style, not for the new one. If you can get the same deal as last year then please do post as I dont mind having the car shipped to me from that dealer.
If you have reason to think otherwise, drop me an e-mail with a link to the post.. We don't look kindly on posers... or poseurs.. But, you'll have to show me.

The price is too good to pass up. I've got financing along with $5500 cash down. But I want the car in that color. With a manual tranny. Any one know where I can find one? I'll pay to have it shipped.
The car is rock solid, looks great, and is huge and luxurious. It feels as good as any Lexus or Acura I've ever been in. :shades:
I traded in my 2003 ML320 and they matched my Carmax appraisal from 2 weeks ago. This offered some tax savings, as I only had to pay sales tax on the difference. Fees/license etc came up to $251. I paid $2000 on a credit card to get some cash back, and wrote a personal check for the balance.
I was walked over to "finance department" to get the hard sell on the extended warranty. I was offered the Honda Care Certified Wrap Coverage, that extends the bumper to bumper warranty from 4 yrs / 48k miles (i.e. Certified Honda coverage) to 7 years / 100,000 miles ... they asked $1689! I offered $1000 and after 15 minutes of haggling, they accepted. They gave me some sob story about how they sold this to me at a loss and that they will make it up on someone else. Unfortunately, after I left, I saw on the internet that people have been getting this kind of coverage for around $600-900. Doh! :mad:
Anyways, I'm happy with the car. The peace of mind with the extended coverage should provide years of happy motoring.
