Is it like this anywhere else? Im trying to get a black SI coupe with no navi. First of all, there is a 4 month waiting period for one without navi unless they find one before then. Secondly, they already broke the numbers down with me and said they will not sell any "SI coupe" at msrp because there are people that are more than willing to pay above msrp. I actually got the feeling that they were telling the truth about the other people paying above msrp. Also they knew i was very serious about buying one and it did not seem like they cared that much whether i purchased from them or not(except for the salesman). Ive been looking at the thread about how much everyone paid for there 06+ and im sadened that im not seeing anything close to the prices that others have purchased theres for. Is this how it is everywhere in cali? Im really thinking about driving out of sd to see if i can get better deal than this.

 

People stopped paying over msrp in 2006 for si's

Hahaha

 

I personally would never pay over MSRP on a car. Keep shopping around bro you're bound to find a better deal elsewhere.

 

I just bought a 2008 Si in Fiji Blue...I payed exactly MSRP as stated on Honda's website. Dealers can certainly mark it up, but you can talk them back down to MSRP. If they want the sale, they will work with you, trust me. No dealership is going to watch 20 grand walk out the door over a piddly 2 grand markup.

 

I wouldn't ever pay MSRP for a Honda. Never have, never will...

Your best bet is to shop out around. Its worth driving an hour or two to save a few hundred or more.

yeah thats exactly what i was thinking.

 

Dont let them give you that crap about "THIS CAR IS BETTER THEREFORE YOU MUST PAY MORE", They gave me that and I got up and left, then took about a week but I finally found the color I wanted and paid below MSRP. Just chill, in time you will find a better deal or more close to what your looking for.

Do an online quote from edmunds.com or such for a 100-200 mile radius. They know they're competing, so they'll give you the best price they can. Plus you have leverage in negotiations based on what the otehres are paying and the invoice price the dealer pays stated on edmunds.

THey're yanking you around. Don't be afraid to drive a little bit to save a few grand- it's much more economical to save on the car than to stay with a local dealer.

well u see.. i live in the a.v, which is about 2 hours and 46 minutes north of the charger stadium. and i paid 20k out the door for my 2008 fbp fg2. and i only waited 4 days for the car to come from michigan. and we all know that the fbp is a hot color and is hard to get. well for dealerships at least. i suggest u get out of sd. sd is a rich ppl place. u should try gardena honda. they were gonna offer me 19k out the door for an 07 si 4dr in fbp last august. but i heard about the trannys so i waited till the 08 came out. if not gardena honda, try cerritos auto square in l.a. the competition is outrageous out there. they'll go under msrp for sure dude.

 

thanks for all the input everyone

 

that was the same way with my black si, there was only 4 in the state when i got mine and only paid 20k out the door for mine. just keep looking you eventually find what your looking for.

 

we have 2-3 Si's at my dealership that hasnt been sold yet..there is a black one but i forget if its coupe or sedan

 

There is a black coupe w/o navi sitting at my dealer, been there for a long time.

 

I paid exact msrp when you added in the delivery fee

 

i just bought a black si coupe w/o navi last thursday for $20k...have to wait a week for it. dealer gave me a choice of any used car off their lot to drive until it gets here aswell.

Do what I did - work out a price with the dealership. Eventually they'll stop working with you. From that point, you go and get some 'other quotes' (I made up a fake one) and told them if they didn't match it, I'd go to them. Needless to say, they dropped $1200 off their final price when I said I'd walk if they didn't match my fake quote.

 

i got the coupe for 20 out the door also.. dealerships are jippin you.

 

I went in wanting a NHBP Si coupe w/navi...They told me the coupes are pretty much unavailable w/ navi?
