Honda.com Pricing Error Revisited

Some time ago a thread was started regarding the pricing of the HFP Brake Pad/Rotor kit on automobiles.honda.com. Their list price for the entire kit is an awesome $117! To bad this price is only off by $520. In my attempt to avoid any further confusion and phone calls I have contacted headquarters in California to have them fix the error.

This is the official thread to see how long it takes for the error to be fixed. What is your bet?



To answer the obvious, no we can't sell the kit for $117. If you want it for $117 call 1-800-999-1009. May the force be with you in your attempt.

seems they've posted MSRP for the pad portion of the kit, and not the rotors

I quoted this from the Honda site, it's the disclaimer right under the price "The prices on this site are estimates only and do not include installations. Actual accessory prices are set by your Honda dealer."

Maybe they figured, this was explanation enough when we went to pay the bill at the service counter and had our inevitable WTF! :SHOCKED: moment
