Woohoo.

Just got the email confirmation from my dealer:

(edit: Old news now. Now it is time to make sure you don't get taken by a dealer charing an MPA [market price adjustment])

Find a dealer that is not going to screw you!! Get off your duff and drive a bit and find a dealer that is not playing that game (might be hard if you are in SoCal...they all seem to be playing that game there). There are three Honda dealers within 100miles of me, two are charging MPA (market price adjustments...$4K and $1K, respectively), the third is not.

As the sales manager there said to me, they are in business for the long haul, not short term profits, repeat customers and satisfied customers sending in referals will make for greater revenue in the long term than short term price gouging.
