So I had a pretty sweet deal, similar to Nuzy's above, but actually for a few hundred less for a demo '09 touring. We were in the process of going through financing, and without warning or notice, after getting off the phone with financing they called back an hour later to say they sold the car. They had given us a few options that we were going over, and being that is happening at 5pm on 7/3, we felt that we'd have at least the night to think about it before calling on 7/4 to pull the trigger. I know this is not personal, but I am PISSED. I feel that at the very least we should have been given the first right of refusal or something. They took a completely laid back approach with us as we'd been going back and forth about this car for a few days, and never once mentioned someone else was close to a deal on the car, which would have made us go a bit faster. Anyway, do you think it is fair for me to ask them to honor the OTD price of $35,1000 that we had "settled" on for the demo, instead now for a 2010 EXL w/RES and added bluetooth and running boards? Or should I just take my business to the 10 other Honda dealerships in the city in which I live? I am very upset with this dealership, and feel that they are going to have to give me something outstanding in terms of a deal to get my business (not that my business is anything special....)

If you feel that the prices you want to offer is satisfactory to you and fair, go ahead and say, I'll buy X if you sell it for $Y. If they refuse, you have nothing to lose, just walk away and start looking elsewhere. Or better yet, take $Y then and ask someone else to beat it. Always be prepared to walk away. |

Not rock bottom price, per this board, but I'm very satisfied with the deal we got as as these are hard to find in my area (plus I got my first color choice combination!) and overall, the great prices some of you get on the East and West coasts are not to be found nearby...well, actually, my best regional quotes for the 4WD EXL-s were from the outer Chicago area. Anyway after all was said and done, we decided on the 4WD Touring w/o RES and got it for: $34092 + TTL We were first looking at a 4WD EX-L and were leaning toward getting one with RES - simply because we couldn't find one without in a color we wanted. After getting back to the very straight forward and nice Sales Manager at Community Honda in Waterloo, IA - I found out he had this sitting on his lot and we decided to upgrade to the Touring. It is so much fun to drive - it has WAY more than I even knew with all the technology and I've been having a blast "talking" to it! DEFINITELY worth the difference in price, especially for those like me who keep their cars for 10 + years!

Hi again guys, My search for an 09 EX-L (2WD with RES) is still underway, but today I received a call from one of my dealers saying that they ran out of 09 models and they can give me a 2010 EX-L (2WD with RES) for $31K (destination included) plus tax and fees. I usually keep my cars for long-term, so the newer model year doesn't matter for me that much, but this prices is just a few hundred more than the best confirmed quotes I got on 09 models. Opinions? Thanks!
