Give the customer invoice but then hit them up with a $400-$500 documentation fee. The actual cost for the dealer to do documentation varies by state, but is often under $50. Obviously if there are tax/title/license/registration fees paid at time of sale the dealer is paying those.   The $2,000 incentive paid to the dealer can't be applied for a lease, so be aware of that. It looks like it's being used to liquidate the 2008 inventory in anticipation of the 2009 which should be out in another month or two.   If you can get the dealer to knock $2000 off in lieu of the 2.9% then that is the way to go as I don't believe the difference in interest will be $2,000 even if you financed the car with little or no money down.

Google Car loan calculator and do the numbers. An average car loan now is about 6%. Even with 4.9% interest, financing 38k came out to the same as financing 40K with 2.9%. That is if you can GET 4.9%.

Replying to: josephd05 (May 12, 2008 3:22 pm) I just inked a deal on an MDX Tech/PTG and was given the choice of 2.9 without the 2k dealer cash, or 4.94% from honda motor credit with the 2k dealer cash. The payment (with no money down other than upfront fees and taxes) was nearly identical. I chose the 4.94 (which ended up being 4.85 after they ran my credit- I'm also an existing acura lease customer, so i believe they offered me a .10% discount as a result), because I thought that owing less on the vehicle overall would be better in the long run. The 4.94 is the promotional rate that acura was offering prior to the 2.9 they are currently offering and they are still willing to offer it; they just don't advertise it.

Replying to: josephd05 (May 12, 2008 3:22 pm) The 2.9% or $2,000 off wasn't available when I leased our car a few weeks ago (if it had been available I might have made a purchase but am still nervous about resale value on these cars with $5 premium fuel just around the corner).   In any event when I ran the numbers, it worked out cheaper to take $2,000 in cash and do 4.9% financing than to do 2.9% financing with the same money down.
