Anyone buy an LX-P from Illinois? by williwaw

Hi guys,
 
Has anyone here gotten an attractive deal on a 4-dr LX-P in the chicago area? I've talked to dealers in MN and CA (where I currently live) and have been able to find a couple dealers willing to sell at 21.5 OTD.
 
I decided recently it makes better sense to purchase the car in IL where I'm moving soon and have had little luck in getting any dealers to approach the 21.5 price. They are (reasonably) unwilling to price match non-IL dealers.
 
From posts on this forum, 21.5 seems fairly ordinary, but is the chicago market that different?
 
I was hoping to get some last day of the month windfall... but i guess not...

Thanks
 
Goodson Honda North is telling me invoice on an EX-L i4 Auto is 24,262, which includes the destination and delivery, plus the $200 advertising fee.
 
Do we have to pay their $200 advertising fee, and destination? Seems wrong to me that they are passing those costs off to the consumer.
 
Also, GHN is saying that holdback is $575 on the Accord Sedan. These numbers are wrong. I wish someone would give me the real numbers.

The destination fee is part of the price of the vehicle - just look at any window sticker. The dealer pays it and so must the customer. It's a different story with "advertising fees."
 
The invoice of a 4 cylinder EX-L sedan will be either $24,063 or $24,098, depending on whether it has the "old" destination fee of $635 or the "new" one of $670.
 
What possible difference does the holdback make? The only question that matters is what you can buy it for.

Im greedy and I dont want the dealership to make any money on me. I want to strip out the hold back. In other words, Invoice minus holdback. The dealer can make money on me in the financing, and by getting "cash back" from Honda on their volume sales.
 
Thats why the hold back matters. And it also determines what I can get it for.

Invoice is a completely BS thing that dealers use to show what a great deal they are giving customers. It's BS. I have bought a ton of cars over the years and MOST cars can (and should) be bought below invoice. In my opinion invoice today is what MSRP was 30 years ago. Plus don't worry about what invoice is. Look at the dozens of buyers on these forums that have paid below invoice. It's not like we are posting this stuff to waste your time chasing a deal that doesn't exist. Also, remember that most likely whatever the salesguy is telling you is not 100% true. Just assume that and you are better off when buying a car. Sorry for sounding negative but that's reality.

I agree with this guy that you got screwed and hopefully you learned a lesson. However, maybe if you call the extended warranty company you can cancel. Some can be cancelled for 30 or 60 days and get full money back. Look into that TODAY not tomorrow. Plus, you can contact Honda Inc. Plus you can contact BBB. Bottom line is raise a little stink! Start by seeking to cancel the extended warranty. I bet you get most of the money back. Also, remember the on-line extended warranties are not for sale to California residents last time I checked. However, you are buying a Honda for gosh sakes. Live on the wild side with NO extended warranty!

I test drove two different V6's after reading the VCM forum and was really looking for a noticeable shift between 6-4-3 cylinders, but to be honest I didn't notice at all. I almost went for the 4 cyl, but finally decided on the V6. I have not test driven the car I will be purchasing because they had to get it from another dealer, but before I take possession of it I will be sure to test drive it.

Too late. I got the car. The next lowest price I saw on the same model is $620 more. But, seems like the dealer still made cash with the conveyance fee that he wouldn't budge on, and perhaps some incentive from the factory.
