Replying to: isellhondas (May 05, 2008 7:29 am) Your honesty is appreciated. I'd rather be an educated buyer than one who is overconfident with incorrect information. As far as the holdback amount, the 3% figure is one I got right here on edmunds.com. link title It lists Honda as 3% of the Base MSRP. So, I'm not sure why there is a discrepancy. Anyways, your post was not too late. I am still driving the RSX, as I have been unable to find a deal here in AZ on a Coupe that I've found suitable. The quotes I've received for a 5-speed manual EX Coupe have been about $1,000 over invoice in many cases. Coupled with high doc fees in the area (usually close to $400) and the less than stellar lease rates on Accords right now, I just haven't been inclined to pull the trigger. I've never had a single issue with my Acura, it still has low miles and is a sporty car, so I haven't been in a real hurry to make a move. If I do finally decide to ramp up my search, I believe I'll expand to So. Cal dealers since the 4-5 hour drive would be worth the extra savings to me. Thanks again for the info.

Replying to: jdunnisher (May 05, 2008 8:33 am) Again, it isn't bottom line profit, far from it. I know I rambled, but my point was simply that the prevailing market is what determines pricing. Not just on cars but on most commodity items. I honestly think that some people focus more on how much profit a dealer may be making than on the VALUE of the car to them. 1000.00 over invoice on a short supply car really isn't a bad deal at all. Would it be really worth it to you to drive to California to maybe save a few hundred dollars? I'm sure your Acura is in great shape but do remember that every month when a new book comes out, it drops in value. The fact that you want a 5 speed could help you. These aren't nearly as popular as the automatics are and as a result, a dealer who is sitting on a couple of them may be willing to do a cheap deal. But then remember that cars that are hard to sell as new cars are even harder to sell later as used cars. If you are leasing, it guess it doesn't matter. That 400.00 doc fee is nuts. We charge 50.00. Good Luck! |

Replying to: isellhondas (May 05, 2008 8:22 am) Tire Tax is 2.50 per tire for each new tire sold in NY (4 on car plus the spare, thus $12.50). This is a tax being used to help finance the cost of waste tire disposal or something like that. In reality its just another way to add a fee to everything we do in this state.
