"The dealer can make money on me in the financing, and by getting "cash back" from Honda on their volume sales."
 
There is no such thing. Feel free to ask around, it has been addressed time and time again. Spreading deceptive information does nothing to help this prices paid board.

I've worked for a Honda store before - Goodson Honda West. I am not spreading deceptive information.
 
I also worked at Don MgGill Toyota, where they include a Dealer Services fee on their buyers order, that the salesmen are trained to tell their customers included a lifetime warranty on all the parts that they buy when their vehicle is fixed. And they say its mandatory. If a customer brings in their Toyota, and they pay for the water pump to be fixed, then the next time the water pump breaks, Don McGill Toyotal replaces the water pump, and the customer only pays for the labor. That was six years ago. I dont know if they still do that today. Many buyers complained about this unnecessary charge on the buyers fee. We often had to lower the price by that amount, but told the customer we had to keep it on the buyers order, because our attorneys said everyone had to pay it.
 
Another scam by the dealer to boost their bottom line. Why cant they just sell cars, and be honest. Thats why I had to get out of the car business.

I dont believe the invoice is $24,261 on an EX-L Auto Sedan I4. I think the true center invoice is $23,427. And all dealerships use the destination and delivery plus the advertising fee to raise their invoice price. The games dealers play.
 
According to Edmunds.com, Invoice does NOT include destination, which will then need to be added to the price.

I just had another dealer tell me that the deal I got isn't possible b/c they will lose money on the car?
 
I guess I will find out in 2 days

Standard response - got the same thing from Jersey City Honda when I told them I was getting my 2008 EXL V6 w/o navi for $25,950. They told me it was a low ball figure, and if I could get it I should. Well, I did!
 
Laugh about it every time I get in the car. I had a Manhattan dealer offer me the same deal - but when I told them I wanted the Polisehd Metal they balked - said the deal was on a metallic brown car they had not polished metal. I asked why the color should matter - if they didn't have it I would wait for it to come in. Apparently a popular color, so it would have to be a premium price!!! Right!
 
The games they play are astonishing.

Customers can come up with some pretty astonishing games themselves sometimes.
 
As far as color, a popular color that is in short supply can command more money.
 
Conversly a dog of a color like Accord's current Bold Beige will sometimes be cheap sold because a store has five of them that have been rotting on the lot.

That was the color on which they offered the deal. When I said I wanted polished metal, they changed their tune.

Accord Coupe V-6 by norskman1

Well after shopping around all of South Florida, I finally purchased a new 2008 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6 in black. The best price I could find including all dealer fees and destination was $26455. Everyone else wanted to add additional fee's or they were higher. Nice buying experience as everything was done over the phone. I had prearranged finance so it was just pickup and buy. Checking these boards out really helped me. I did find some dealers gave me lower prices but when it came down to the purchase they had hidden fees. I had alot of fun shopping and now I will have a great time with my new wheels. I traded in my 1997 Ford Explorer which I purchased new so you can bet I will enjoy driving my new coupe. Thanks for everyone who asked and answered on here, it really does help.
