Purchased for $32,000 + TTL which was about $500 below invoice. Probably could have gone a few hundred lower if I was willing to wait. In central Texas where I live, 4WD EX-L with NAV are hard to find apparently. I called every dealer within 70 miles and there were only 3 available between all of them last week. A couple said they'd dealer trade for me but since the closest vehicles were 400-500 miles away they'd charge me a delivery fee. So I figured $500 below invoice is decent and bought one. The same dealer where I purchased was willing to sell one without NAV for $30K + TTL. Doc fees were $45. I have read some of the other messages where people pay $300 doc fees. That is insane. A doc fee is pure profit for the dealer. This would be like going to Best Buy, buying a $2000 TV and then getting charged a $20 "Ringing you up at the cash register fee". Any time a dealer tells me there is a doc fee(or any other non-state/county mandated fee) for over $100 I walk out the door.

Replying to: pilotwannabie (Nov 27, 2006 4:53 pm) It is basically a revenue bump for the bank.. the dealer doesn't get any of it. I think almost every single bank/finance company in the country charges it. regards, kyfdx |

Replying to: jimmyq (Nov 25, 2006 8:11 am) In my reply to McDavid this evening I asked if the quoted price (plus TT&L) was an out-the-door price or if they would try to hit me with hidden charges if I agreed to a test drive. I haven't heard back yet but I'm sure I will tomorrow. Initial quotes so far in the DFW area for an EX-L 2WD w/ NAV: McDavid Irving - $30,342 McDavid Frisco - $31,839 McKinney - $31,339 Frank Kent - $31,683 All quotes are good until the end of this month (Thursday 11/30).

Replying to: sacramentogirl (Nov 27, 2006 12:30 pm) I would like to hear this from someone else out there. My local Honda dealer said there was no cash after I specifically asked. They were offering some decent interest rates starting at 3.9%.
