for a 03 silverstone s2000 with a hard top came out to 36,600 out the door... is that a good price... or should i try harder... the sticker price was 32,600 plus 2,900 for the hard top...and she added tax and tags and then deducted that to 36,600 out the door... please help me....thank you

 

Who knows? I don't know how much your tax and tags are, but it sounds ok. I paid about 28,000 for my 02 brand new last month up here in Boston. (advertised price was 28,890, including destination and then they gave me about 1,000 more for my trade than any one else at 3 or 4 different dealerships). Yours is current model year, so that means something. I am told Honda is offering the dealers a $500 rebate on the hard tops too right now.

Hope this helps.

 

yea... that 500 dollar rebate for the hard top rings a bell becuz most the dealers said they would give me the hard top for 2600, the msrp is 3100 so maybe i will tell my dealer that... the reason why i am staying with her is bc she took off like 1000 off msrp... so if i can get a deal on the hard top i should be strait right?

 

it's a good price .. go for that ..

 

it's not a GREAT price.... probably cuz I'm from the car-buying school of "if they offered it at one price, you can probably get it just a little cheaper"

enjoy either way

 

I would try for $36k even.
What's the worst you guys settle for something in between.
Because for $600 bucks less they will not want to lost $2-3k they make from
this sale.

 

$36,600 out the door sounds fine to me for what you're getting, but you probably could do a bit better if you like bargaining. I've heard of people negotiating a couple of thousand off list for the base car.

I was just at Poway Honda getting my Civic serviced, and noticed that they have two 2003's in the showroom, a Silverstone and a Suzuka. For both cars, the list price was 33,060 including destination charges, but a second sticker listed $9995 in "dealer added options" without being specific what those options were. I am amazed that any dealership, even in California, is still getting away with asking for that kind of markup. They tried the same thing on me three months ago, but I just went to a different dealer and paid list for my car. Some buyers must just not shop around.

 

I would've jumped at that price (36.6 out the door) with a hard top. But what the other guys are saying is prolly true. If they offered you that, go lower.

 

I would say more like $34k out the door with the hardtop. You have a "decent" price there already but you can do much better if you remain patient.

 

34,000 out the door... i dunno about that... i mean if the car is 32,600 and and the hard top is 3,100 that is already 35,700 with out tax and tags... i dunno where your getting 34 out the door from but that seems impossible from where i live... i think i will try to talk the guy down to 36,000 tho... thanks for your help guys... keep the comments comming if there are more... bbeace
