Hi All, I have read some interesting posts in this thread. I am about to purchase my first ever new car and have been thoroughly impressed with the Fit. Has anyone here, made a purchase in North Carolina (Raleigh/Durham) area? I did a test drive on this Sport Automatic Blackberry Pearl yesterday and loved it. I went to Crown Honda for that and they quoted me a price of $17,990 OTD price (incl. 99$ pinstripe price??, 3% sales tax, $399 doc fees, $75 tag fees, $250 rebate on preferred employer and $500 rebate if I chose Honda financing). I do not recall the exact invoice price, since I did not get a printed itemized list. But I recall it to be $16,550. Does a price of $17,000 OTD sound reasonable to start the negotiation? Any experience with this would be great. Since I do not want to low ball or get duped either. Thanks a lot:)

Replying to: tunaman4u2 (Jun 23, 2009 7:12 pm) This one dealer mentioned that Honda is a car with limited mark-up. What does this mean? He said that "I am selling you the car for our cost. The only profit for the dealership is a portion of the documentation fee after we pay the ladies who handle titling and registering your vehicle. I will save you additional $75 and sell you the vehicle for $17,850otd" One dealer gave me the pricing as follows: Price: 16944 Sales tax-3%--508.32 $398 dealer documentation fee $74 for a new tag Total OTD-17,924.32 With another dealer close to the city, I received the following quote: Discounted Selling Price: $16,116 Freight $670 (Honda's Destination Charge, Not Ours) Tax $483.48 (if you are trading you will pay less taxes due to the tax credit difference) Tags $188 (we take care of your hard plates, reg, title) Processing $399 = ON THE ROAD = $18,354 Looks like none is coming below 18,000 OTD. So far, all my attempts at asking price of 17,000$ is going in vain. Anyone can guide me how much should I begin to offer them? |
