Undercoating/Weatherproffing and Nitrogen are rip offs...NOT needed except to line the dealers pockets.

Thanks. I was asking about the Pilot although this is not the correct forum. Just curious to what the discount will be when the Passports new'ness fades.

Depends upon sales...competition...The economy....The Fed stance on interest rates. For guidance look at the price history of the Pilot after the newness faded.

I have been looking into auto concierge services (NOT CarsDirect..Costco..Edmunds etc who receive a commission from the dealer they end up sending you to)...This is a service..though a little pricey...Auto Authority.com..in Calif....They receive no incentives from dealers (great reviews..there is a video challenge won by them against Edmunds)...They will negotiate the price of the car...including what accessories you want included..extended warranty....finance rates...even your trade in value..All you pay them is an upfront non refundable fee of $200....If you like the deal they came up with you pay them the remainder of their fee..If you do not like it..You can simply walk away just losing the $200. They have dealt with dealers from all over the USA as well as people coming back from overseas including our military forces. They have an alternate plan where you can negotiate your own best deal and if they can beat it you pay them 50% of the additional savings over your own negotiated plan. All you have to do is go down to the dealer and sign the papers based on the deal you negotiated and pick up the car. If the dealer is ok with it they will even have the car delivered to your door and sign the papers at your home. All their negotiators are ex dealer managers with many years in the business and supposedly know all of the dealers little tricks. Seems worth looking into.

Discount: $5,253
Trade in Net:13,300

Cash price after everything: $28,500

What dealer?

 

[yramirez]

Dealer add ons are a pure and simple rip off..That is why they can sell at invoice and still make a sizable profit....You add on the dealer hold back of 2% and any manufacturers incentives..quota incentives etc....They are whistling a happy tune selling a vehicle at invoice.

I live in Texas and I got my extended warranty from Sarcucci 8 yrs ago on my Acura. Only state I believe you cannot go out of state to get a Hondacare ext warranty is Florida...Dealers complained to Honda that they were losing business.

 

[yramirez]

There is already a thread for this topic.

I believe that because of Florida Honda dealers complaining about people going out of Florida for cheaper Hondacare warranties Honda agreed that Florida residents can only purchase Hondacare from Honda dealers in Florida. Bit it is worth a try.

Down here in Florida, when I bought my 2011 EX-L Pilot, they didn't offer Honda Care Warranty, only 3rd party ones (which the sales guy said was just as good), well, I bought it (The best Fidelity had 100k miles). I had 2 clams which they denied saying it was normal wear and tear, which it wasn't. Would never buy another 3rd party Warranty again. I had Honda Care on my 2004 Pilot and had several clams and they paid them without hassle. I would only buy a dealer extended warranty again. Hopefully, here in Florida, they haven't marked them up much.

I believe they can charge whatever they want...Honda dealers outside of Florida will not sell Hondacare to Florida residents.

Have you gone directly to the service dept to quote your options installed? I bet they would be a lot cheaper than what the sales dept charged. The only advantage of buying from the sales dept is that you are able to put it on your loan.

2019 Elite - dealer is asking $40961. Think he can do better? Anyone get below invoice?

Look at previous responses..It appears some have.
