Is this a Good Price?? by nivloc1

For a 07 EX AT - No Nav. Nighthawk Black
Added two options:
   Fog Lights
   Day/night rearview w/compass
 
$21,729.68 OTD. This includes TTL.
 
Website states MSRP $20,105. If I added the two options the dealership quoted, it would add $713 (includes installation) or a price of $20,818. Add TTL and that comes to apprx $22,270. From that view, I'm being quoted apprx.$540 below MSRP.
 
I'm located in Grand Rapids, MI. Does this sound reasonable?? On the surface, it looks fair. But that doesn't mean I didn't overlook something.

That sounds about like the deal my daughter got - a few hundred over invoice plus TTL. We picked up her Atomic Blue EX w/AT (no NAV) on Saturday. The car had the "protection package" (whoopie!), mud flaps, pin stripes, and some more stuff on it - that we didn't pay anything for. She loves the car and loves the color.
 
Strange thing - her build date is 09/06 and her car is a 2006. The dealer did say they just got that car (and a couple of others) in. Why would Honda still be building MY06 cars in September of 06? Normally I would not want to get a first design year car, but we figured this was "safe" because it is a factory fresh car and could not be any later build and still be on 06 - heck it is an 07 if you just changed that digit in the VIN

Assuming you want those options (they were not added to the car by the dealer) that sounds OK. The fog light kit is $238 and the mirror $198 at H&A - but then you would have to install them yourself. You can check the estore at Honda to see if another local dealer would sell them install for less, the deal just on the car. If not, and you don't want to do it yourself, then $540 off of MSRP is decent if there is no doc or dealer fee added back on. In some place, heck most places, it is hard to get much off of MSRP on an new Civic.

"out the door" means absolutely nothing to me - or anyone else that does not live in the same state and county as you - so has no meaning. "out the door" is literally out the door and includes all fees, taxes, title, and tags.
 
The invoice on this car is about $18,458 including destination. The mud flaps are worth maybe $100 installed and the pin stripes are more than likely worthless (if stuck on, just have the dealer remove them now - if painted on you are stuck with them).
 
Subtract off the tags, title, and taxes from your deal and compare to $18.458 and then you can report how much over invoice you are paying. $20,105 is MSRP including destination, so you are below that for sure.

OTD(out the door) pricing by hpia4v2

I agree with Dennis here regarding OTD, cause nobody can beat Oregonians when it comes to OTD, since 0% sales tax in the state and last time I was there license tab was $36 for 2 years (not 1 year).
 
The problem is that dealers tack on these semi-bogus charges. The one I've heard in the past and present, doc-fee, regional advertising fee, vehicle preparation fee, etc.
Maybe it's time for "OTDMTL", Out The Door Minus Tax and License for the car plus those bogus charges

I would just state "this price includes the car, destination, and all dealer fees". If you give anyone this number, they can (or should) be able to figure their local taxes and tags fees and get a total price. If everyone posts the same number - car+dest+Fees - then it makes it simple to compare deals - no matter how load (0%) or high (7% here) the taxes are and how much tags cost.
 
Some dealers have started quoting car prices without DESTINATION much less dealer fees trying to lure you onto the property thinking you will get a good deal. So I always have to make sure they are giving me everything in the price - as if I was paying cash and doing the title,tags, and taxes myself.

What's Wrong With Both Prices by sandman46

We've done this for years here in Edmunds and I'm sure there are people like me who want to see it all. If someone isn't interested in every charge...skip that part. It's really not that hard folks. Let's not let a few in here try to fix what ain't broke!
