Replying to: broadwaytoshop (Sep 05, 2008 9:21 am) It works both ways I guess. Aside from the Fit and the Civic Hybrid, I cant think of a Honda model that sells for MSRP. The rest fall way short of MSRP. Again, we don't mark them up over MSRP. I think we would rater sell them at MSRP without adding a bunch of crap like wheel locks and splash guards.

Replying to: mplshondadlr (Sep 08, 2008 8:59 am) I agree the price of the most Hondas, in most situations, fall short of MSRP anyway. Adjusted Market Value is one thing, Additional Dealer Mark-up is something entirely to subjective to defend.

Replying to: broadwaytoshop (Sep 08, 2008 2:04 pm) In a free enterprise system like the one we enjoy here in the U.S., there is no reason anyone needs to defend the practice of "additional dealer markup." But there's also no reason you have to put up with it, if you don't like it. You can take your dollars elsewhere. And if enough people do that, there will be no more "additional dealer markups." |

Replying to: broadwaytoshop (Sep 08, 2008 2:04 pm) I was able to catch my car right off the truck and instruct the dealership to not add any add-ons. It's one thing to add some value with these accessories. It's another to gouge the customer. One dealership (not where I bought the car) offered me a "deal" of the protection package for a bargain price of $695 rather than the normal $1295. Of course parts at retail and labor resulted in a 97% profit on this, even at the "deal" price. Pass. Yes, any dealer can ask what price they want. And I am free to (and did) shop elsewhere. I believe the economy is soft enough that we will see these ADMs disappear pretty quickly. I am already seeing Fits arriving and sitting at dealers without immediate buyers. So, when will we see Fits selling for $100 over invoice? Cheers! |

Speaking of plastic bra for new cars, Fit specifically, has anyone ever had this added to their car? Does it work well? Any drawbacks? It does look like a nice idea, but I don't see it costing $995.00 per dealer. Just looking for some feed back with real world experience on this. Thanks, Gary

Replying to: 78transam (Sep 12, 2008 8:16 am) My '09 Fit Sport was built August 4-9 and arrived in Baltimore September 10. |

Shopping for '09 Fit by internet for pricing. Found one under MSRP, accepted the offer, and was then informed that the price had been changed to $2500 above MSRP! Dealer was unwilling to honor offer extended to me for this car. So, I encourage you to AVOID HONDA OF THOUSAND OAKS due to their unacceptable business practices.
