Guys,
Any idea about Honda's employee pricing. My employer has some tie-up with a couple of local Honda dealerships. It is advertised as we pay what Honda employees pay. So, how much do the Honda employees pay?
Thanks!

This is true. As the dealer "cost" is a closely guarded secret that now mortal human will ever be privvy to, just be content with the knowledge that you didn't get screwed nearly as much as the general public sector does.
Typically, dealers will tell you that "employee" pricing is on par with a "fleet" purchase price. This has been stated as anything from 1% to 3% or more above dealer "invoice". As we've already mentioned in this thread, dealer "invoice" is still a good profit margin ABOVE dealer "cost". Don't let "employee" pricing fool you into thinking it's the best you can do. Continue to compare prices with other dealers not offering "employee pricing".

Thanks for being blunt.

having sold Hondas among many nameplates for close to 30 years a good rule of thumb to follow on dealer cost is the 10% rule. Generally 10% of sticker is real close to actual dealer cost..doesn't take into account any other factory incentives, but 10% ( of any vehicle) is about right. BTW I've never met a poor car dealer
I assume you mean that dealer cost is approx. 10% less than sticker, right? Just checking.
And, yeah, these dealership owners aren't exactly poor.

I paid $800 below sticker and was happy about it, but as soon as I found S2Ki website 2 months after I bought mine, I knew that I over-paid by about $1400-$1800.
But I got 2 free oil change coupons
