BTW, "invoice" means absolutely NOTHING! Ask him what his dealer COST is. I'll bet he won't tell you.

What's the difference between MSRP, invoice, and dealer cost again?

Did you actually think that a dealer can sell for "under invoice" and still stay in business? Showing a customer the "invoice" has been a sales gimmick ever since Henry Ford sold his first Model T. It makes the customer feel all warm and cuddly and think he got a "steal".

I'm currently in the market for an 06 as well. I've visited 3 dealerships thus far and the best I've gotten is invoice at $31,193. Another dealer said they'd beat any price so I've emailed their internet manager and am currently waiting a response from them. If he can't beat it, then I will probably go for the invoice price.

Holdback is 3% of MSRP around here. Honda pays this to the dealer after the car is sold to cover sales commissions, advertising, etc.
I tried to make a deal in December on an 05, and the sales manager offered invoice minus hold back, but that was final. They still had the car 3 months later and would not go lower, saying "we will not lose money." All this to say that there is room below invoice for the dealer to still make money.
I finally paid $31,100 plus tax in January for my 06
