Ooops, excuse me, newbie here, didn't see that my post HERE:

should have gone here!
Cool to see such enthusiasm, anyway, I'll copy my price question:
I'm looking for a 4WD EX 5 speed
My homework tells me that the MSRP on what I want is 20,050, and Honda has a 3% of MSRP holdback, so the cost to the dealer (invoice less holdback) is really 17,922. The 460 destination fee is unavoidable? So the true dealer cost is 18,382.
Edmunds says the avg. selling price nationally is 19,738 plus the 460 destination fee. So should I be happy when a dealer offers me the car for 19,400 including the destination fee? If I back out the destination fee, he's making $1k on the car. That doesn't seem too crazy... unless there are some factory to dealer incentives I don't know about.
Also, are there any options that are super-desirable?
TIA
Woof
