Plus when you sign the contract you buy it at that price, they cant just bump up the price and say oh you owe us an extra 1000 because the prices went up... its on the contract you pay what you signed for

i think the illegality of it comes in with the misrepresentation of information (in this case prices) that the dealer told me were fixed by honda HQ, who in fact knew nothing of a price increase, and under contract law, misrepresentations can render a contract void...nothing really to do with the fact i signed a contract with a certain price, because while that is the fact of it, i wouldn't have signed it where it not for the misrepresentation (and the fact the dealer had caused me to believe that he was dropping the price more so than he actually had). they told me beforehand that the prices had gone up and i signed assuming they were telling the truth.Quote:

so far its hybrid lol and sport with vsa. will confirm later today bout others.
***edit
just confirmed, sport and hybrid with vsa thats it.
ive already delivered 2 08 model VTis and no VSA.
if no VSA for vti, why the price would go up ?Quote:

thx for the infos
i'm getting the idea that i'm getting screwed. i posted before that i found out i was getting an MY08 (the principle told me that, but it was after hours and he didnt sound too sure of himself) and i just rang the sales guy and he told me im getting MY07 with '08 compliance. now im either geting MY08 or i paid the $300 price increase on an MY07!! can anyone clarify if the price increase applies to MY07 '08 compliance vehicles?Quote:

I am thinking around 30k is possible.
Thanks
My sister's boyfriend works for Honda Rick Damilian so I can get cheaper prices for cars/parts ;)
Paid $29,900 for a Sport manual with metallic in December of last year so it's doable. Just gotta find a dealer prepared to do it.Quote:

Mate, you can ask them more free stuff when you pick up the car. if you're not a fussy buyer at the first place, they will give it to you. I got my Civic floormats for free when I pick the car, not listed on the contractQuote:

-Start with 24300, and da dealer will ask for more, simply add
$100, $24400. :zip:
yea that exactly what i wanna get!! also slim number plates
do i just tell him this is the list of accessories i want and ask how much he can give me? or do i just with the price i willing to spend and keep asking for more accessories?
i don't don't mind paying 25k if he willing to throw in 5 yrs warranty
Put everything you want in a list (including warranty, slim premium plates and full tank of fuel). Go to the dealer, check the car out, tell him it is a nice car and you are in the market to buy a car today (i.e. ready to sign the dotted line today). Ask for a test drive. Tell him your price (which is say 22k if your limit is 25k). Then he will say too cheap and list out the RRP for each accessory. Then you ask him what is his price. Then he will try to push it back to you and not give a number other than RRP. Then after more empty talk, he should ask you what is the highest price you can offer. Then you say $23500 (for example). If he likes it, he will go to the "back room to talk to the manager".Quote:

But don't go too much, you don't want to lose a crazy amount. Some ppl put 5% of the car price, which I think is stupid. $50 is all you need. It is just a "gesture" that you are commited to the sale.
Remember, always be ready to walk out if you don't get your price. If your max is 25k, and he offers 25.5k and no lower, you walk.
Thanks aaronng,
so when i first tell him the price i should show him what accessories i want too right?
i am really happy that i found ozhonda haha. i thought i have to pay at least 25k for auto vti without any accessory since RRP of vti is 23,790 + stamp duty and all that!!
List all the accessories you want first before talking price. Make you get don't forget anything. Don't let them mislead you by showing you how much the accessories RRP prices are. RRP is RRP, the cost price is much lower. Only talk about driveaway price. That is all you are interested in. Oh and don't get tricked into getting the paint protection. :)Quote:

why?? Paint protection bad for the car or you can get it done somewhere else for cheaper?
Of course. back in 2004, RRP was $34500 for the Euro. I opened at $33000 driveaway without accessories. Of course the salesperson didn't like the number. Eventually we settled at $34000 driveaway with floormats, mudflaps, slimline plates and tank of 95 RON fuel.Quote:
