Madison dealer says they won't negotiate more than COSTCO discount. Would you please share which dealer you bought from and who you worked with. I don't mind driving a couple of hours to save as additional $1800. Thanks.

1. The Passport had less than 10 miles, including what I put on it during my test drive and whatever miles they put on it moving it to the dealership. There was another Passport that had over 200 miles on it; I asked if they would reduce the price anymore, but they said no. ?
2. The discount or negotiations that I did over email and phone did not include any rebates or incentives.
3. Yes, I knew the exact color/trim that I wanted. I contacted Ourisman via email after I had searched their inventory. Before reaching out, the best offer I could find was with Koons in Fairfax. But they wanted $43,000 out the door.?

They kept telling me that the salesperson messed up by giving me that price but that they would honor it. I made them wait by a week before coming back and buying it. At first, I thought that they were just full of it and were just saying that as a selling point. But after seeing what others have paid, I believe I got a good deal. ?

I think you got a great deal also. Didn't really feel the Elite was worth the extra $$ - especially when the 1st dealer we visited said they would not NOT negotiate on the price as they couldn't keep the Elite's in stock. To get a better price I had to go thru Costco Auto program. Once I got those numbers - then other dealers started moving on price. Still looking for that ultimate bargain.

we are in the process of buying one. I think $38,961 after 1K honda loyalty cash

Which trim package?

I would call the dealer out on the fact that was a Demo and not disclosed.. you where buying a NEW car in good faith - not a Demo or used car. That being said...Most states consider it new as long as it was never registered with plates. Dealer plates used on Demo's normally aren't registered to a specific vehicle. I have bought Demo's before but they were sold as "Demo" not NEW. Really depends on what you feel like dealing with. I would at least ask for a credit. Can't get and won't know if you don't ask. Just my .02 worth. Good luck & Congrats on the new to you PP.

I would definitely try the free extended warranty route. You could also take it back and vinyl wrap the new car in white - but that would cost a couple grand. Ah - what we do for those we love.

Not sure what you mean by add-ons but it does come with the extended warranty which at this dealership is unlimited miles and as long as you own the car. As far as mileage goes not sure I have not seen the vehicles yet but they have two msm and one blue one.

I'm interested in your extended warranty. Would you share who underwrites that extended warranty or who the dealer is an I can check with them. As we put on 20,000 - 27,000 miles a year - I would definitely be interested in that warranty. Thanks.

true using an online pricing service like https://www.truecar.com/ and see what kind of offers you get from local dealers.

I definitly got better offers using truecar.com. Good luck!

It is from Curry Honda MA they include it with all new cars and certain used cars. Not sure if they sell it separately but check with them.

Thank you! I will check with them & find out who is underwriting/issuing the warranty.
