Michaell and Kyfdx, thank you again for your assistance! I hope the details of my deal will help others. At the end of September, I closed a purchase of a Touring model in NY as follows:
$31,020 Sale Price (that's invoice minus $1k minus the $4k incentive) +$2,675.48 Sales Tax on Sale Price = $33,695.48 Subtotal - $1,700 NYS Drive Clean Rebate (applied at dealership) = $31,995.48 Subtotal + $281.50 NYS License, Title, Inspection and Tire fee + $75 Dealer Doc fee = $32,351.98 Total out of pocket
After taking into consideration the $7,500 federal tax credit (which will be realized on our next tax filing), the car cost me $24,851.98.
I shopped many dealers with in-person visits and negotiations. I will note that all dealers I dealt with were willing to do a deal at invoice minus the $4k incentive, but only a couple were willing to go below invoice before applying the $4k incentive.
Quick follow-up question: is the $4k manufacturer to dealer cash incentive still available in NY? I had a friend who is presently shopping report that a dealer said it ended after September. I doubt that's true, but maybe you can confirm. Thanks.

Does anyone know the reason Honda cannot include the federal rebate if you were to lease the car (vs. buying the car)?
We leased a Clarity for child #1 in January. At that time, Honda was able to include the federal rebate as a part of the lease.
To be clear, in January, I was able to get $10.3K off the MSRP. The quote this morning was only $5.6K off the MSRP with the disclaimer that I could get another $7.5K if I were to purchase the car.

When you lease, you aren't the owner of the car - the bank is. They can, but are not obligated to, pass some or all of that incentive along to you as a lease incentive. Or, they can inflate the residual value.
A lot has changed from February to October with the lease programs. Not surprising that the incentives have changed.

But $4K (incentive offered) is less than $7.5K (federal rebate). Isn't that kind of odd?

Question: is the incentive ($4k) only for leasing or is it available for both leasing / purchase?

Either purchase or lease.
That makes the purchase a winner. $4000 incentive, $7500 federal tax credit, CA rebate, maybe?
I would like to know what/how much discount expected for Clarity Plugin-hybrid to buy on cash in zipcode 94087? Also if leasing then what are the incentives?

Just wanted to thank you for everyone's help and wanted to let everyone know what kind of deal I got so hopefully it'll help others. I decided to buy instead of lease (honestly probably the best deal you can get for plug-in hybrid)
2019 Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid Base MSRP: $34,430.00 Dealer Incentive: $4,000.00 (Thanks kyfdx!) Dealer Discount: $3,130.00 Total before TTL: $27,300.00 OTD: $29,930.00

I would like to get recent info regarding lease pricing for the Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid. I am in So Cal/ Los Angeles
I looked at Edmonds and they priced the basic model “price you should pay” at $28,298. If you discount the $300 fee Edmonds builds into the price on their website, I figure the CAP price I want to negotiate is about $28,000. Honda is already advertising a closed end lease with a CAP of $27,824.72. What CAP have you been able to negotiate?
Also, does anyone know if Honda offers any incentives, like Conquest? Or something to help pay fees when I turn in my leased Chevy Volt?
Does anyone know what the residual value is on either the 2019 or 2020 basic model?
Does anyone know the money factor on the lease? (W/ excellent credit)
Were you able to negotiate the reduction of any fees or negotiate for free service/maintanence?

Hello, I would please like to know if there are any incentives or discounts for the Clarity plug in, just the base model. I'm not sure if its better to buy or lease.
If I lease I would need 3 years and 45k miles. Thanks! I'm in 91755. Do you have residual and MF info too?
