Leah - I hear what you are saying, but I hadly feel like I got scammed. I told the dealer over the phone what I was willing to pay for the vehicle and he agreed to sell it at that price. His contract includes the etching and he told me he could not remove it, but he DID sell the vehicle at my price, so the etching and the mudguards turned out to be bonuses the way I see it. He did not add a penny to my price for the etching, and he offered to not etch the windows if I didn't want it, just with no change in MY price. I saw another vehicle with it and it didn't bother me, so I had it done - it took 10 minutes.

Good Luck.

My experience with Power Honda Costa Mesa by dv8tor

Just wanted to inform some SoCal buyers about this dealership. If you've got a trade, WATCH OUT!!! These guys were offering me $2000. LESS than what everyone else has offered me on my trade. Everyone else is what KBB is booking my vehicle at as a trade. I don't know what Power Honda Costa Mesa was using, but I think they were just looking to cash in on both ends of the deal! Do they honestly think that we're all that stupid??? Not to mention that they were still $1000 ABOVE MSRP on the Odyssey. When I get my new Odyssey, I'm going to drive over there just to rub it in their faces!

$2000 is a VERY high price for an extended warranty.
 
Then again, I guess it can be hard to put a price on piece of mind.
 
I will say this about Honda - although their warranty is not the best around, they did stand behind their product ('99 Ody) when the transmission failed just out of warranty at 40K. And that was before there was a generally (or at least publicly) recognized problem with the Ody transmission.

Shopping for a EX-L Res/Nav in South Florida by lapcopper

Wonder if somebody could help lead me to a good dealer in South Florida. I'm only getting MSPR quotes. I don't mind driving 3 or 4 hours to find the best deal.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks!

I thought $2k was high also. I had a quote from warranty direct for $1,300 or so. I was able to have the Honda dealership lower the price from $2250 to $2,000. In retrospect, I probably could have had him lower it a it more and I would have been happier having known that I got the best deal.
 
One factor was that I was preapproved by my bank at 5.05 percent. The dealer got me 3.9 percent for my loan. My absolute break limit was $2k for a warranty - above that no way. But since I'm saving money from a lower interest rate than I expected to pay, I threw in the dealer warranty. I suppose I could have saved $700 with the nondealer warranty, but it was a wash overall. Having owned 2 other new cars over the prior year-and-a-half has convinced me that while a car may be reliable and run for many years - the new electronic gadgets, auto doors, seat heaters (A new car of mine actually burned a hole through the seat from the seat heater), etc. are prone to breaking. I would bet money that I will break even or save money by spending a $2k for the warranty. I see it as setting aside money for repairs. I for one recommend extended warranties on new cars.
 
Late on Friday night, I decided that I wanted my wife to have her new van which we had been waiting for for 6 weeks and to move beyond the incessant fretting over "best" deals and to round out our new car with a good warranty. We were so satisfied with the color, feel, and accessories of our van.
 
She has been all smiles ever since.

West Broad Honda in Richmond. Originally planned to buy in the DC Metro Area, but the prices were a little higher and the waiting lists were mounting.

I've been to this dealer and run into the same problems. No chance I'm buying at Power or Norm Reeves in Huntington Beach.
 
Where do you plan to buy? I have a deposit with Norm Reeves in Cerritos, expecting my EX-L RES/NAV to come in about 11/15.
