Sort of...try Honda of Lake Jackson, they just opened 2 months ago and seem willing to strike a great deal. THey have about 8 08 EX-Ls. Actually, it's the best offer thus far, 500 better than next lowest quote...No one else will go that low.
BUT they don't have the color I want. So this is their way of trying to persuade me to pick another color. My husband thinks I'm crazy for paying 500 more just for a car color...but I'm going to do a little more hunting for my 1st choice. I really wanted this color for my previous car and didn't get it then (6 yrs ago) .
 
sneezy2: was the $500 lower quote from Houston area?

Yeah, I laughed when they listed out the stuff in that appearance package. Last night, the accessories lady was trying to sell me a cargo mat for 170 bucks, found it online for 90. My wife forced me to buy this Cilajet thing (600 bucks for inside, outside, and rims). I am scheduled to go back for the application tomorrow and am still wondering if this is a good thing. I do want to get some paint protection since the van will probably sit outside mostly.

If you've talked to larry, please make sure those add ons are included b/c he told me only if I went there he would consider it, but that's over one hour driving.
 
We live in SW Houston, too. Maybe we can talk about this. I'm tired of this, too - still don't understand why other states charge $1,000~1,500 less on the same car.

I've talked to them, too. A guy quoted me 25600 over the phone but would not confirm it by email - I don't think they are serious.

About Honda of Lake Jackson:
wow, that's an awesome quote you got...hard to believe though.
 
I got a quote of OTD 28300, also by phone, but I
don't have email confirmation yet. however, they did offer to drive a vehicle
out to me in SW Hou if I am truly interested.
 
We'll see how tomorrow afternoon goes at Sterling McCall...

Good luck. For what's worth, they offered a good price back in May, half of the holdback. Looks like you're getting 27% of holdback, so looks good. I'm still in the market and live in S Houston. The recent quotes I've seen in the Houston area higher than May quotes, and yes, for some reason prices are much better in the NE, particuarly in Virginia. Don't know why. We're so close to September that I may just wait for the new promotions and hopefully the arrival of 09s. Please keep us posted.

$699 Dealer fee? Stupid by middlefiddle
Aug 21, 2008 (4:33 am)

So,
We're looking at an EX and I asked for exactly what tax, tag, & FEES meant.
 
This dealer installs the protection package (cargo tray in the cargo well, wheel locks, and mud guards) $399 (Apparently $899 retail?)
Pinstripe $55
Dealer Fee $699
 
The way I see it, that's over $1100 of "padding" built in to the deal. I don't want pinstriping and I could care less about the "protection package"
 
When I asked specifically about the dealer fee, here's what they said:
 
"The dealer fee is to cover costs that the dealer incurs. This is like the destination charge and is a non-negotiable cost of doing business."
 
Am I crazy to think that is the most ridiculous statement?
 
How about SELLING CARS covers costs that the dealer incurs?
 
I guess I won't worry about it too much, but I will be negotiating that $699 off the price. Shooting for invoice minus the $2500 minus the $699. Wish me luck.
 
Any other ridiculous dealer fees out there?
