BTW woohoo! im not a 'jr' member anymore! sweet!.. senior member here i come!

***darna*** · 12-01-2006, 01:04 PM

nope! majority of them sucks... between 2 to 5 gran mark-ups.

better to research first online, get some quote or you may order them at msrp but it'll take a little while to get them.

best place to go is metro honda. good pricing. but if you dont have good credit your payments will be high.

got mine @ galpin honda. their ford dealer is i think #1 in in volume sales. after about 6 hrs of debating w/ the salesperson, sales mgr, and gm... ifinally got mine for sticker. there was a 5k mark up on it...but i got all sorts of factory add-ons plus installation for free...so in reality i got m ine with more for less than sticker...

***qwerty :)*** · 12-01-2006, 02:52 PM

galpin is about an hour and a half away, but i sent them an email saying that i heard they were good. but the price would have to be great for me to drive an hour and a half to go there

***qwerty :)*** · 12-01-2006, 02:53 PM

oh, and i dont have any credit! i am a first time buyer, and hopefully i can get my mom to cosign!!

blaznhot_23 · 12-01-2006, 03:52 PM

Got my '07 ASM Coupe @ Honda Santa Monica for under MSRP. Only pain is there really isn't much open space around there for a proper test drive. Freaking tourists!

i have already had a test drive at a local dealer. they were charging the 2k mark up that we shouldnt have to pay. lol

Yeah, screw the mark up. Santa Monica initially had a mark up also but I talked them down to a little over $20k. Just don't be afraid to walk out if they're not working with you. It was when I grabbed my bag and started walking out the door when they said "Wait!! I'll see what I can do." Good luck man! These things are sweet rides and totally worth the effort.

i finally found a dealership w/c doesn't charge mark-ups in socal. i went to test drive a tw w/ navi over at hardin honda. professional people willing to give me msrp but there's a catch: it already has 125 miles on it so i said thank u maybe i'll just order mine. i think its too much miles for a new one, besides, i don't know what kind of driving the car has gone through w/ that.

my 07 si with nav was 26k before ttl
i got lo jack and an alarm (gonna charge me $1100) as part of the deal since they wouldnt budge on the mark up

kevzSi · 12-01-2006, 06:19 PM

Santa Ana Honda... They hassled me a lot about the price. But at the end I got it very close to MSRP. $23,500 out the door. Includes iPod music link, tint, wheel locks, mud guards.
