Please clarify, did you get a discount of $28,895-$27,200 = $1,695? You say "not including tax, title, lic, etc", did the dealer add back fees to compensate for the discount? If you can, please break down the costs for us.
I visited the dealership Friday last week. Met with the salesperson, did a very brief test drive and have been researching pricing and other dealers I was put in touch with via truecar.com.
Once I had my numbers and asked for the invoice price (haven't seen it yet in person but I will ask to see it in person before I agree on it. Two dealers have been within $200 of each other on invoice price and I have a strong hunch that's extremely close to actual invoice if it isn't the actual invoice).
I should add, however, the dealerships service advisor used to be my service advisor 20 years ago and I asked him to refer the better sales staff to me. Perhaps it helps that I've been going to this dealer for a long time and they're part of LARGE family of dealerships. I don't know whether that motivates a "take care of the customer" pricing or not.
Invoice is meaningless when the dealers are selling at MSRP. You can calculate invoice fairly closely for most Honda vehicles by taking the standard 6% off MSRP. Once you get a firm quote from the dealer, please let us know.
We have bought 11 vehicles from our local dealer and they still will not come down more than $1k under MSRP on a Touring AWD. I am getting ready to put a little more pressure on them if they do not start moving on their own!
$1000 off MSRP isn't bad at all at the moment, again, as long as they don't add back that discount in "dealer fees" or "doc fees". You really need to know the "out the door" price to understand if the dealer is really discounting the vehicle below MSRP.
Exl, no nav, fwd, theft code, security system. At the end of the day i financed $32187.47, sorry don't feel like breaking out taxes etc.
Thanks but posting what you financed is not helpful. Did you have a down payment or did you finance the entire amount? What are your taxes, fees, title, tag costs? Without this info, others on the forum have no idea if your deal was below MSRP or not. When you say "no NAV", I'm guessing you purchased an EX-L model? Again, being specific is helpful if you are going to bother posting.
Also, if you have a trade, it's more difficult to know if the dealer sold you their vehicle for anything less than MSRP unless you break down what the trade value is compared to the trade amount given in the sale.
Thanks guys for trying, some info is better than no info so please hang in there and let us know the details.
