Interesting..... and, I understand your concerns...
 
But, I don't think you'll be able to make a $20K cash transaction without proving who you are (and, identification is a pretty big part of that)..
 
You don't have to let them copy your DL, but they don't have to sell you a car, either..

Vandergriff Honda, Arlington, Texas
 
Car 27,500
Docs 150
 Subtot 27,650
 
Taxes 1,778
Fees 125
  TTL 29,553 Out the Door
 
Includes: splash guards, wheel locks, trunk tray, window tint, pin striping
 
Cash sale. Decided to decline the MPP Execu-care extended warranty.
Considering Hondacare from Hyannis Honda.
 
Honda of Burleson, Texas, offered essentially the same deal but did not have the car in stock in my color. I would have bought from them because they offer lifetime powertrain warranty at no extra cost.
 
I made a list of dealers and called them one after the other, told them I want to buy this car today for this price. This is what will do the deal today. Do you have the car in the color I want, and will you meet my price. If not, here's my number, call me when you can. I didn't pit one dealer against another. Simply kept going till they met my price. OK, they slipped in the doc fees (and perhaps some money in fees) but I declined to pay for any of the options.
 
They wanted me to take out a loan so they could get $500 incentive from Honda but I declined as I did not want the hassle. They didn't offer the $500 to ME.
 
Maybe a better negotiator could have gotten a better deal, but without this forum, I would have paid much more and spent a LOT more time.

Purchased this today from Weir Canyon Honda in So Cal. Negotiated price (all done by email and phone before going to dealer) was $29734 including destination. Sales tax 7.75%, doc fee $80. It was their only vehicle like this and other dealers in the area did not have any in stock. Color is orchid white pearl which is what I wanted anyway. I might have been able to pay a few hundred less but nobody had the car on the lot.
Finance guy tried to get me to buy lots of stuff I don't want like paint protection (don't want, I'm a hobbyist detailer). Tried to sell me extended warranty for some outrageous amount. I pulled out a quote from Curry Honda for 7 years, 80,000 miles for $880 and he met the price. I had an extended warranty on my 2006 Acura TSX and although I never used it I liked knowing I had it. Then went to the parts place and showed some online prices for trunk tray, floor mats and wheel locks and they met those prices too. All in all, fairly painless experience. Loving the car!

Anne I'm in full agreement with our host kyfdx. I would address your concerns with the dealership to see how he will protect your info.

What is the insurance package that Curry Honda offering, is that Honda Care package?
I got quote from Hyannis Honda for 7yr/80k miles, 0 deductible, was $605.
Can anybody explain what the difference is? Is Hyannis Honda Care good enough?

Nice Job!!!!!!!!!! you bought your Accord for atleast 700 below dealers invoice price.. By purchasing the exl V6 model Dealer threw in those added accessories that were on the car already.. I have noticed alot of people getting those same options thrown into there deal. If you purchased this vehicle in the first half of the month the dealer may have wanted more money for the car and those options.....

I believe as long as its Honda Care, they are all the same. Hyannis, Curry, Saccucci, they all sell them however some do not sell to the state of California which is where I am so I was only able to get a quote from Curry. There may be others that sell to California but I don't know of any others offhand.

Tax (6%): 1219
Title: $100
Lien Filing: $20
Registration: $128
Electronic Title: $20
