Congrats! Nice to see they are starting to come off MSRP. I imagine the trade and $1395 honda care helped massage numbers. Thanks for openly sharing your negotiation.

Is an out the door price for an Elite for $40,000 tax title everything with a 7000 trade in plus CD player and full hard mats a good deal?

 

[tonya71]

Hard to decipher with trade in and unknown of your states feesfor tax and title
But
2019 Passport Elite is $44725.00 including 995 for destination charges.

44725- 7000 = 37725.00

Assuming 2000 for tax tags = 39725.00

Subtract the 995 destination (padded) fee

We are not at $387330.

Puts you payin 1270 for a CD player and car mats .

So I would say you are basically paying MSRP. No great deal.

And this is assuming they are giving you a good trade in value.

How did you value your trade. That can also make a big difference ?

They're called stealerships for a reason

Boggles my mind how automakers get away with including so few features which goes to show the lack of competition, hopefully Chinese automakers can change that. once they're ready.

China had been rapidly developing their car manufacturing ability. They were late to the party, used to just do their best to copy other automakers cars. Now they have their own designs. But I think their eye is on electric vehicle domination.

But it will be awhile before we see it.

I have not purchased anything yet but for what is worth, I wanted to post what I have been quoted by Autonation in South Florida:

2019 Passport Touring 2WD - $40,239 + tax.

Given that MSRP for this specific vehicle is about $39,280, I assume they're just adding $800 doc fee and standard fees on top so no real discount despite their claim that I am being given a $1,000 discount.

I counter-offered 38,000 + tax on Feb 11. As of Feb 13 I have not heard from them

I have an appointment to test drive and negotiate the same at Brickell Honda on Feb 16. I'll update how this goes.

You are correct. That is Msrp plus fees. No discount at all. I suggest everyone start asking to see the dealer invoice for the vehicle. Let's see what the dealers are paying for these vehicles.

Let them sit on their lot and they can keep paying interest.

Great price to be paying for these which makes me wonder what depreciation will be like because getting discounts down can help to offset what might come in the future although Honda's typically have good resale value.
Being similar to the Pilot doesn't entirely help the Passports case for the long term but it can contribute to a future where the Passport is an entire model of its own.

I got an email today from them quoting $39,999.00 as out-of-the-door price for a 2019 Passport Touring 2WD. Before taxes that was $37,880.33
They now have my attention!

Was offered $36,800 on a Passport EXL AWD? MSRP is $39,355? Wonder if I can get them to come down more. In Pittsburgh, PA. No taxes or plate/doc fees included in that price.

That is a decent deal, still think there may be more give. Tell them to throw in floor mats

I forecast that the passport will only be made for a few years. It will then become a highly sought after car by high school and college kids. This will probably hold its value very well.

I think this is a pretty good deal. I’m satisfied and the car is everything I hoped and more. I’m trying post pics but the site says the pics are too large.

Confusin me... when you add up you trade in down payment plus your cash down payment plus the car loan amount ...., that equals 42182.00....???

So why do you think you got an out the door price of 39845??
