Got mine at Ocean Honda In New Port Richey Jan 25. They try to beat me down but I just play the same game to them. Spend about 5-6 hrs on a Sunday during a rain storm and they gave in. Maybe because I was the only customer there and wouldn't give up. If it was me go New and I hope you find one at MSRP. BTW they have 2 inbound to them.

I would still look for an MSRP deal... you can purchase new wheel for $300 and the type R sills for $250 and do them yourself. Just curious, have you gone to Kelly Blue Book to "Instant Cash Offer"? I would see what dealer, through KBB, would give you the most for buying your SI from you. The only downside is that if you sell your car through them, you don't get the tax break on the new sale. BUT, at least you could then take that KBB offer in writing and show the next dealer, that's willing to give you an MSRP deal, what you can get for the SI.

Norm Reeves has a 2025 Boost Blue in the showroom. They have +$5000 on a sticker. Problem for them, IMO, is it’s parked right next to a Boost Blue Prelude they are trying to get +$10,000 for. Crazy. The manager is going to want to get rid of that thing I’d think. Can’t believe they still have it. Get them down or even negotiate Honda Care thrown in and talk them down a little less.

Idk how they're asking what they're asking for these Preludes. They're sexy as hell but not enough performance for 50k+.

Working a deal w Honda NPR now Old pirate. Wish me luck!

go out of state, find a deal and drive it home. I got my 25 BB a month ago and they started at MSRP. Not many people out there buying a summer tire manual performance car with snow on the ground. Snow may be gone now, but gas now over $4.50 a gallon so they arent going to be lined up around the block like they used to be.

If you do get one then there is a Car Show at LBC in Palm Harbor on the 12th of April . Look on Facebook under 727 Cars and Coffee. I will be there.

Old pirate, they're at msrp! ...but insist i need to buy the $2k bullshit pkg annd the $700 bullshit pkg. I would at least get something in return for the BS pkgs though. I generally wouldn't buy them uf i had my choice. Did you buy the add on packages?

I got the Tire and Wheel pkg, because of the roads we have . It's because I ask for it. It's already paid for.

Thats the 2k package, the other is the one you got which agreed, it actually sounds reasonable and wise.

Say no thanks to this pkg, you have someone on standby to detail your new car and the rest of these can be had thru your car insurance for pennies on the dollar. Just say no to this. Just say you want the car and they need to move the unit....so say shake hands ...BTW you got financing done thru them or a credit Union? If it's thru them so sure say NO!

That $2000 package they are selling you is hot gabage, its probably worth $200. Stay away.
I would be ok if they were trying to sell you the OEM carbon wing on the OEM forged wheels then at least you are paying more and getting stuff that is actually cool/you might want. These packages though are basically a legal way to rip you off.

This kind of stuff irks me so much that i would run, not walk.

If I was able to find a car at MSRP in NY state and thats 2 years ago, you can find one now. Do what people are saying here, call dealers in states where this car is not as "hot" start closer to home obv so shipping it will be cheaper then slowly go further. Get it shipped.

Id rather pay MSRP + shiping thand the same price as a bs add on, this kind of tactics just piss me off.

You got this, you can and will get one... and yeah don't consider used unless its like 5 grand cheaper, less than that imo not worth it. But also if no one mentioned the rear pads on this car go quick, people have had to change em under 10k even from just daily driving it.

If you want some motivation to negotiate, watch this masterclass of car negotiation…. So good!
