Question From Andrew: Hello, I just received an internet quote for a 2009 Honda Civic Si with an MSRP of $22,475 for $20,108 including destination - is this reasonable?

Thx.

Queen of the Road: Hi Andrew. You save $2,367 from 10.53% off MSRP. Not bad. I would keep asking for a larger discount because it doesn’t hurt to try.

If you don’t mind driving without the “Si”, you can get 16.95% off MSRP. Check it out…

How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Honda Fit

December 16th, 2008

Question From David: How much should I pay for a 2009 Honda Fit? I recently saw one at a dealer that had a “Market Adjusted” price of $2000 above MSRP. Is this reasonable? In today’s economy can the market really dictate a price that is $2000 ABOVE what the manufacturer thought the car should sell for?

Queen of the Road: Hi David. That sounds like the biggest load ever.

That is absolutely nuts!  There are no cars in this market that deserve to be sold above market.  It is mind boggling that a dealership would try to mark up a $16-$18k vehicle by $2k.  This gives you a great indication of how this dealership does business.  RUN don’t walk to another dealership.

Not only are they claiming that it’s $2,000 over MSRP, but they’re are giving lousy discounts as well.

The Largest Internet Discount we’ve found so far:
MSRP: $17,580.00
ePrice: $17,480.00
Savings: $100.00
% OFF MSRP: 0.57%
