29,652 (don't offer invoice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
 
minus 4500 without finance
minus 3500 with finance
 
That is the price to offer dealer, try to get them to throw in DMV if you would like. I didn't pay mine. Tell them you want the price "out the door".

Which State is this? Does DMV cost $500 + in the state? Do you want the add-ons (mudguards, etc)?

This is in Arizona. I do not want the add-ons for that price, and it does not make sense to add the DMV costs to the total and finance it. We will go to the DMV oursleves. Also, they say the DOC fee is not negotiable, yet dealers here vary from $399 to $349 and I got a salesman to tell me that they can put whatever they want for it, so that can be waived im sure.
After posting, I read quite a few of the older posts to gain some knowledge. Im going to try for 4500 off invoice of an SE, but may be wishful thinking.

In most places the doc fee is non-negotiable, they have to charge the same to one person as the do to everyone else.
 
That said, you can shop for dealers that have little or no doc fees. You can also simply include the doc fee in your offers. Nothing to stop you from saying "I will give you $xx,xxx for this Pilot including destination and doc fee". The same $399 or whatever will appear on your paperwork but they will discount the Pilot to make it work out. A couple of the really cheap Honda dealers I have leased or purchased from the past have really high doc fees, but the NET of the vehicle, destination, and fee is what matters.

I'm with Dennis on this...its the final price that matters. For instance, on the last few rigs I have bought I told the dealer they are going to pay DMV. That is 150 to 200 dollars in my state. Sure, I'm really paying for it. They are just taking less for the car I am buying.
 
I really think one of the most important terms you can learn from this site is OTD. The "out the door price". Always talk to the dealer in terms of what the final cost will be to you.
 
27,000 OTD means exactly that, 27,000 is my final price for the car with all fees.

PS-Do some states require Doc fees. I always thought this was an extra add-on for the dealer to make money. The business manager is going to make the same salary (right).

I just purchased a Honda Pilot Ex-l 4wd from Vip Honda in North Plainfield Nj . I called there internet dept and spoke to the manager George . He gave me a leasing price and informed me they only had 2 left instock. I gave him a deposit over the phone and picked the Pilot up that night. The process took less than an hour. I was very pleased with the service. I went to planet honda a few days before and got jerked around. I would tell all my friends to use Vip Honda they treat you with great respect
