Replying to: allie482 (Aug 08, 2007 7:06 am) Go to their website and request a quote. I recently bought an SE Auto and Planet Honda (Union), Honda of Princeton and Rossi Honda (Vineland) were the other good quotes. I finally bought from Rossi. |

Replying to: zswx (Aug 08, 2007 6:25 am) It was post #16008. The poster said that Norm Reeves & Santa Ana Honda had same prices. I contacted Norm Reeves ~8/2/07 & was given a price of $17,600 over the phone. Didn't check further. Maybe at the end of this month, prices will come down again - it appears they went up. If I can get 17,200, I'll buy. I'm in Eastern Ventura county area so Norm Reeves is a bit far for me. But will drive if I can get 17,200. David

Replying to: kw_da (Aug 08, 2007 10:39 am) The stock of the lower end models (LX, SE) is dwindling. I saw plenty of EX and EX-L models on the lots, but those are still pricey if you don't need leather and seat heaters (or don't want it in the LA heat) and the other options. Color choices (and combinations) are also getting thin, so waiting will leave many with buying higher end trims in colors they might not like. Can you verify the dest. charge in the $17,600 price? |

I bought a 2007 LX auto for $19,000 + tax couple of months ago from Mile High Honda in Denver after a lot of bargaining and a lot of comparison shopping. But now I get calls from Boch Honda in MA almost every other day ( got one even today ) offering to sell me the SE I4 auto for $17200 + tax. On Saturday they were willing it to reduce it by another couple of hundred dollars if I was ready to commit rght then. Why is there such an enormous difference? I called the Denver dealer today and he said price for an SE I4 Auto is more than $19000 ( I did not bother to get exact price when he said that ) + doc fee ($399) + tax and he suggested that I go buy the car from wherever I got the $17200 price. He even said that he remembers my LX purchase very distinctly and that I did not give him any profit at all ( yeah right!!! ). I understand the concepts of supply and demand, demographics, regional variations, market dynamics, volume discounts and such, yet am simply surprised by the more than $2500 variation in prices from one region to another. Isn't American Honda going to do something about this? It is almost time for a grey market here. Set up shop in MA, take orders from people interested in buying cars at a lower price, get the car from Boch and ship it to the buyer wherever he/she may be in USA. That wouldn't cost more than $800 right? As other people have suggested here the local dealers in Colorado do think that I am from a different planet when I mention the prices at which cars are selling in MA, Northern VA and Southern CA.

Replying to: aristotle (Aug 08, 2007 12:13 pm) The same person said that many dealers know at this point they are not going to hit the 110% goal, so there is no reason for them to throw their own money into the pot. If this is true, the $2k incentive + $1k kickback = $3k without losing money on the deal. Of course, they could further sweeten it for the reason mentioned earlier. However, if the dealer thinks that he has it already made, there is no reason to go below the 2k mark, or discount even less. It also seems to me that only the larger (volume) dealers will go to the 2K under invoice mark, as smaller dealers work on keeping their margins high and volume low. Now, there could be other advantages for the dealer to get rid of the cars faster, such as larger allocation of the new models, which will have financial incentives as this dealer will have a larger stock and be more competitive against it's neighboor dealers.
