Thanks guys, going to have a look at a few places today!
And don't forget to take advantage of fleet (e.g. autofleet.com.au) or other brokers if you can. Some professional affiliates and unions have an arrangement where you don't have to pay a fee to use them.
My experience with purchasing a EuroSport via a carbroker (betterdeal.com.au) was crap to say the least, I got 1 freaking bid and it cost me $150! I think it came down to the fact that there is next to no stock of these cars left in Australia (I was told there was 4 left in W.A. when I purchased mine 2.5 weeks ago) and Honda trying to sell these last few units at the highest price possible. Having said that, I hope you find the car your after and make sure you don't act like you want the car desperately or they will Jack You!!
Good Luck
I had many issues with the purchase of my car over the past 2 months, after the deal was done. I needed the help of somenone in the business, and UNSL1 gave me very clear and fair opinions of what a consumer can expect from a dealer. Because UNSL1 showed honesty that was lacking from the dealer that I purchased my car from.Quote:

Does this mean a better price because we read the same boards, who knows?
I am not sure that Honda would be able to sell the last remaining Euro sport at a premium. It should be the other way round, that is they would want to clear them, and that's why the RRP had dropped by $1500 and the Euro sport is the only model in the Euro range that has a 5 years warranty and road side assiatance. That tells me that they r keen to move them. Also are all euro sport built in 02/06? If they r, then they would had been sitting in the yard for months, so why would you want to buy them without a significant discount? Use that point to bargain and listen to the dealer's bullsh#t about it being a limited edition.Quote:

Also, in reference to selling them at a premium, I was referring to the lack of bids I received for my Particular Auction on Better Deal, I received one bid for the car I wanted and the final price being $39419 (Graphite, Manual Driveaway). This leads me to believe the dealers had no reason to bid on the car as they must've thought they could have easily sold it at that price or close to it. Having said that, I still paid much lower than the final bid price. However, this was just my experience with a car broker and it wasn't great to say the least, but yeah moral of the story is, a car broker's price isn't always the best :)Quote:

But the euro sport is different, honda made them to expensive at the start, we knew it, most customers knew it....we only have like 3 left now and we will give a discount on them..

I got my silver Euro Std Auto with free tints and mats and full tank petrol for $34,750. Just wondering if it's a good deal or just normal.
Thanks.
Would have to agree with the comments on car brokers. Tried one and their price was more than the first offer I had when I walked into a dealer. The guy I dealt with was p*ssed of when I told them that their "special price" was quite a bit more than my existing offer. It was OK in that they didn't charge me for it (they had a money back guarantee but didn't have to chase them to get a refund). I would think they can get good prices for "mainstream" cars such as Toyota's and Holden’s as they can group them together and ask for a bid on 20, 30 or more so the dealers go into a bidding frenzy. Hondas are too much of a "specialist" item.
The company I used to finance the deal (salary sacrifice type of thing) also couldn't do any better either.
In the end I paid $34,500 drive away for a standard manual with mud flaps, tow bar (genuine Honda), mats, 12 months rego, full tank etc. I know you eastern state guys can do better but this is in sleepy old Adelaide.
Hey guys I'm curious to know where you guys (in sydney) got your best deals from?? I'm interested in the 06 Euro Luxury with sat nav..
