Replying to: cillakat (Sep 19, 2007 10:25 am) I've sent the request out to over 30 dealers (between last and this time). Ugh. My contact at the place we are trying to deal with isn't in yet so we'll see what they can do when they come in. You would think we would have a better market here - So Cal - but apparently we have a bunch of yahoos who pay whatever. Lucky you!! You have it done!! what happened to the '06 Navi idea?

Replying to: cillakat (Sep 18, 2007 11:46 pm) I'm moving! Our lowest OTD is $400 more than yours. . without options. And still - no line item costs, no OTDs...how much more specific can we be? Any input - 26,100 base including destination no options? Oddly, this is my 2nd best price to date.

Replying to: gavanmom (Sep 19, 2007 3:04 am) i just drove home from Milton Martin Honda (Gainesville, GA) in my new EX-L white/tan that had 22 miles on it. $27,792 OTD as promised with security etching, cargo liner, muds, paint protection yadda yadda all included. He would have offered up the wheel locks I'm sure...but I had realized about a day ago that they would NEVER be used by me and would just clutter. I loved the sales guy (not supposed to use names here so we'll just say his first name started with a G:))....he was just 'good people' as they say in the south. I'd drive the drive in a heartbeat to buy every car that my family will ever own. It was that good. Not a hint of, 'well....this little fee is standard'....or 'oh yeah, that's got to be added on'. never. It was all fun, happy, community, *honesty*. You could tell people were happy being there. He bought my girls ice cream from the vending machine....walked me through all of the features of the car.....let my 8 and 6 yo tell him stories, make him nametags and more. It was delightful. Seems like a silly word to describe a car purchase, but it was. There wasn't any other place I'd rather have been. Not only was it a great place to be buying a gorgeous solid new ody but it would have been a great place to just *be*. Even without a purchase. He was telling me that they have a big cookout (ribs/ turkey fry) every year the tuesday before thanksgiving and about 250 people show up. I can see why. Honestly, we will not shop around should we need another Honda. We'll just make the drive to Gainesville. Fwiw, he was the best price out of the gate. I named my number (27.8 otd) and he came in lower. Everyone else came in higher, even just a little bit.......then when i told them I had a deal in writing, 5 dealers (of 20 or so) geographically closer offered to price match to 'save me the drive'. Quite frankly, if you could have gone lower, why didn't you in the first place? I told them 'no thanks', i'll drive further for the guy who was willing to go further for me. He did the right thing, I'll respond in kind by doing the right thing. I am so glad I drove the next 20 minutes for what I think is probably the best car buying experience one could have. Anywhere. All the best, K in atlanta

Replying to: cargirl9 (Sep 19, 2007 2:10 pm) anyway, back to your predicament:) ahhh, SoCal.....then i'm not surprised your prices are higher. atl is cheap compared to most metro areas and we have such a rural pool to pull from. i mean, how many people are driving hondas in south georgia? not many.....but there are lots of dealers if you cover the whole state "Our lowest OTD is $400 more than yours. . without options. And still - no line item costs, no OTDs...how much more specific can we be?" i think that's really a fine place to start - since they won't do the line by line, you do it. thanks for your very competitive quote. To reiterate, we are ready to go today. For the sake of clarity, you're saying: 'x' base price (no additional fees) 'y' sales tax 'z' total for TTL ________________ xyz looking forward to buying this vehicle from you, Just wanted to be clear that we're agreeing that xyz is the total number out the door. Please confirm that the above is the correct number and that you have 'x' in stock and we will call immediately with a deposit.  k |

Replying to: cillakat (Sep 19, 2007 4:57 pm) I am so jealous. The local internet manager has really been going the extra mile for us and while they cannot match my lowest quote - I think I am going with them anyway. Lowest quote sounds shady anyway and local people say they do a lot of switch/add on whatever else at the end...(and I believe it - naive me) Anyway, we are at 26,000 + TTL. Can not wait till this is over!! PS - I hope someone buys me ice cream when it's all over. |

Replying to: cargirl9 (Sep 19, 2007 6:35 pm) so you're at 28,080 plus what $30 or so for title? What other fees? I think it sounds great, really. Once you're in, you can (or dh can) negotiate for accessories for 50% off.....or check bernardihonda.com for prices on accessories (or ebay) and they will likely match best prices for muds and cargo liner (looove the liner). k
