$34972 is a good price. I bought same vehicle back in August for $34500 after much haggling but there was dealer cash back then as well. That was only 3% above dead cost.

Remember to indicate whether you are discussing 2WD vs 4WD when you post your prices. The response that I just posted RE: $34500 for Touring Nav & RES was for 4WD.

Been negotiating with a couple of dealers on a 4wd Touring without RES. Have got them both down to 35,038.00 base price (includes doc fee) but neither will throw in the running boards. How long should I hold out ? My wife really wants the lighted running boards...

I do not know where you leave but i feel you should be doing better than that. I bought a 4WD Touring with RES for 35865(including Lighted Running board & all seasons mat) this August in MA. You just need to bargain more but when your first lady wants it,you may not be able to hold on forever. I love the lighted running board especially in this wintery condition.Goodluck with your shopping.

doesn't your price include the $2000 dealer incentive?

Woah, there's a $2000 dealer incentive this month? Thought I read on the forums that they inexplicably cut back on incentives in Nov. but I'm just a noobie.

No, there isn't a 2000 incentive for this month. There was one a while ago and it ended in August, I think.

I actually got off the phone with Honda Financial Services inquiring about the notorious "Bank Fees" of $595 that seems to be included by all the dealerships. They had no idea, what bank fees i was talking about. So i explained that the dealers are charging me this money to "initiate the lease loan" for me. Just like the closing fees for your home equity line, i explained. They still did not have any clue, and firmly said: quote: We do not charge dealers any "bank" fees for lease programs. I guess this is how dealers make their money on customers. You should shop around for better deal" end quote. I have talked to about 10 dealers so far, ALL of them have $595 bank fees incorporated into final lease price. Its like some sort of undisclosed pack they've all agreed to charge.
Also most, dealers charge the doc fee of $299. The fees come on TOP of the regular DMV (registration and title) fees. They wouldn't argue about it either.
 
Also is it customary to factor in Destination fees of $670 into the negotiated selling price of the vehicle for lease? Doesn't it get added to the MSRP?
 
please share

Banks usually won't discuss acquisition fees, because some banks allow dealers to mark up the fee for extra profit.
 
All Honda Finance leases have an acquisition fee of $595. This goes to the bank, not the dealer. This doesn't mean that the dealer isn't given a fee for writing the lease, but it doesn't come directly out of your funds. That $595 goes to Honda Finance, regardless of what you were told by them.
 
Doc fees? Extra profit... pure and simple.
 
Adding destination, after the price quote? Just a way to make the price paid seem to be less... A ruse..
