yeah blue is the best color! i've had all the dealers in my area scrambling to find a blue one for me....only 2 dealerships had blue...now all 5 have blue and they keep calling me to come in! Time to pit dealer vs. dealer xD

33.5k OTD is really good imo. however, i'd still go for the dealer swap...especially if it has scratches.

 

when i mean 33.5 OTD that includes all taxes.

i told the salesman this is what I wanted, a he said that is not possible at all.
anybody know any dealerships, that will sell for 33.5? I hate wasting my time with dealerships, who say one thing, and change it the next minute.

 

i'm in southern california btw.

 

one of my obsessive compulsive criteria's when i bought the S was it had to have low miles. it took me 10 dealers that i narrowed down to two because one dealer had one with 7 miles and another that was on its way from the port. i picked the one that was on its way cause the salesman said it would arrive in a couple of days. when it did i was there to see it wrapped and i did everything from checking the miles (2) and vin.

the reason for the o.c., i didn't want to know that people could have dropped the clutch at 5k or added 30+ miles on test drives. there are people that say they can drive a manual that shouldn't be allowed to drive one. if i was your friend i'd wait for the next shipment.

 

it's been used. treat it like a used car. dont matter if the salesman says it's new cause it's never been tittled. 300 miles means somebody elses' asscrack has been farting in that seat for 300 miles.

 

next shipment?? Would I ask the Honda dealer for this information?

The salesman just told me he wants 35.5 OTD for it. What a F'ing joke.
TRD, how much did you get your S for OTD?

I hate wasting my time with salesmen who lie to me. One minute it is 34, and the next day it is 35.5.

 

yeah, 35.5 OTD is a bit high

 

These salespeople are desperate to sell, and since we are at the end of February, another car sold is going to help them with their monthly sales totals.

Any advice you can give me to pass on to my friend to force the salesperson to sell at 33.5? I have read some great advice on the forums, but don't remember the thread.

 

yes. just ask when is your next allocation which should be every two weeks but it doesn't guarantee that they will get the exact color your friend wants.

i got it for $33,711 otd based on 7.75% sales tax. selling price of $31k even.

just deal either with the internet or sales mgr and side step the salesperson so you can get accurate numbers. remember they're not the only honda store and not all dealers are the same. there are a lot of good ones out there that's not your typical car dealer.

 

this coming from a car salesman..... all you have to do is tell the dealer that another dealer will sell it for this and they will drop there pants if they believe you are telling the truth. i dont sell hondas so i couldnt tell you if they could sell the car for that but if they can they will if you play your cards right
