Well, after 12 years I have never once asked a customer to pay more once they arrive. I have pretty happy customers and a ton of repeat and referral business.
 
If I get someone so bullheaded that they won't call me, I'll just email them letting them know I would love to hear what thier lowest quote was. they can call me and I'll let them know if I can save them money. I can't remember the last time I couldn't.
 
Still, once in awhile I'll get a shopper who refuses to do this and demands a written quote. I lose these people and they probably end up paying more than they had to just out of stubborness. This doesn't happen very often though.

So anyone think this Si sedan is a deal/worth more negotiating ($200 w/tires)?:
 
The price I asked about $20500ish is with Navi.
  
Thoughts?

Well, wouldn't you know it, after two weeks of no concrete replies, within a few hours after posting here I received an acceptance of my terms at exactly the price I asked for.
 
Once the deal is done I'll return to state the details for the benefit of those interested.

That's a great price. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be glad to help. I work at a dealership in Northern MA. Our selling price will be a little higher, it has wheel locks installed. Our doc fee is much lower at $125(inc 1st state inspection sticker)
Our bottom line price is $20,123(inc wheel locks, destination, doc fee, 1st state inspection) We currently have Habanero Red and Taffeta White. Anybody else has any questions, let me know.

I've heard for years that when you strike a deal with somobody it's best to get it in writing. This is particularly true when making a large purchase such as a car.
 
Wouldn't you expect written terms when buying a house? Or taking out a loan to buy a car? Or buying insurance for a car? In fact doesn't the lender REQUIRE a written insurance retainer before granting a car or home loan? Although I'm sure some people shop the written quote to other dealers, my goal in getting the offer in writing is to protect myself, just as vendors require certain things in writing to protect themselves.
 
As far as whether I'll get a worse deal by insisting on a written offer, that's unknowable. You think that's the case but you can't prove it because you have no evidence. If you tell me you'll sell me a car for 20k but won't put the offer in writing and I buy another one somewhere else for 20k, you can always SAY after the fact you would have beaten it. That's why it's best for the customer to get the offer in writing.
 
I plan to start soliciting offers in a week or two. I'm curious to see what happens.

One note on my own purchase report... a note for others, and next time I do it.
 
I jumped at the first good number I got. Yesterday, I received an email from one of the dealerships - $1,000 off their previous internet quote. It made their offer LOWER than the one I took, but only by about $150. Had I had to haggle for that, I don't think I would have done it. Given to me in a coupon, however, is a different story.
 
I guess the moral of the story is to get the offers, and then wait a minute, especially if the end of the month is near. It seemed most quotes lasted until the end of the month, and it appears some dealers might cut the prices themselves in order to get your business.
 
...at least in the Baltimore metro area.

Big difference. Those are legal documents.
 
Good luck!

2007 Honda Civic Sdn 4dr AT LX : Is this a good offer? by anubhav186
Apr 28, 2007 (7:32 am)

Hello Guys,
 
I have read a few messages on this forum (and learnt the email trick) and I am about to buy a New 2007 Honda Civic Sdn 4dr AT LX. Please help me make a decision (as I think 2.9% APR offer is going to end on 30th april, 2007).
 
Here is the best "email offer" I have received so far.
 
"I can offer you a price of $16,921 on the New 2007 Honda Civic Sdn 4dr AT LX that you requested. Of course you will have to add the usual fees - 3 percent tax, $398.00 Documentation Fee, $74.00 for a new tag ($55 to transfer) and any dealer installed accessories you choose."
 
Please advice me. This quote is from a Honda dealer in Raleigh, NC.
 
I also have a few other questions -
 
1. I will be moving to Minnesota for my new job in mid may, hence I wouldnt have the real opportunity to redeem "free oil and filter" etc etc. Is that something I can let dealer know which may help to lower his quote?
 
2. What is the difference between Insurance (Geico, Progressive) and Honda Care Warranty (Saccucci, Bernardi)? Do I need to have both or one would do?
 
I have limited knowledge and this is my first car.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Regards
anubhav
