Well, considering invoice before taxes and fees is $26,051 you're not getting "out the door" for "$25k". But I wish I lived on the west coast, too.

I see where smartguy5 posted that dealers get 3.5 kickback, if that is the case on a list of $27,400 they would get ~$959 back. So selling at invoice is a reasonable profit, if not a little high. Hopefully I can hold out ("I don't have to have") a new car right now.
I sent Grace a request for a quote.... see what I get back tomorrow. I put down my offer was 27K OTD If any one else has knowledge on the kickback let me know, it seems like that would be a good item to put on the table if pricing becomes a sticking point.

Not to be mean or whatsoever... How can we know if he's telling the truth? 3.5% holdback, 2% holdback, 3 % holdback. We as the consumers are not informed abt this kind of stuffs. A unknown person came here and just told everyone that holdback is 3.5% and people just readily accepted the fact and start to the spread the rumor and etc. Please understand that even salesman have a family to be fed, and I am not saying that we should give them the big grosses, but be more understanding and stop spreading rumor, unless its backed up by data.
 
Carbuyingtips.com stated that its 2% (a fellow forum member isellhonda clarified that too). An edmunds data that was quite old(updated on Sept 2005/2006) showed 3.0%. I don;t even know where the in the name of XXXX that dreamcar got his holdback data from. Unless he could show me an official receipt, I'm really suspicious of his intentions. Also, dreamcar, if you really like buying AT REAL INVOICE, not edmunds invoice, WHY DON'T YOU OPEN UP A HONDA STORE AND SELL ME 3 CRVS that I am looking to purchase?
