+1 to additional info from euronewbie.

Akira maybe you should have pm'ed him in the first instance - you don't work in the ACT by any chance? You sound just like the dealer I tried dealing with who kept telling me my quotes (and mikhalelnen's) were below cost price - his bad because it cost any chance of the deal.

Ok, seems like I may have stirred up a hornets nest here - something I certainly didnt intend to do. I was simply trying to advise other Ozhonda members what price i got for my euro.

To akira124 and others - let me clarify I few things. First my euro is a company car and I am not involved at all in direct negotiations with dealers - that is all done by our fleet company. All i have to do is choose a car and colour - and then they (fleet company) provide quotes. And due to our company car policy I can only get a car that comes in under a certain value. And i cannot get options except for mats, headlight and bonnet protectors. The car also has to have a build date not more than 3 months from delivery to me.

My car was ordered in June, build date July and delivered to me in mid Aug. As for the exact price I do have a breakdown at work of what the price was, rego, etc (but this is the fleet quote and not direct from the dealer) - I will dig out and let you guys know. But without the exact figures in front of me, I can say it was around $42K (otherwise I would have gone over my limit). I dont feel comfortable mentioning which dealer as I dont want to have them blasted but it was a dealer based in Sydney. I will also mention i was quite suprised with the price (given what i had seen on carsales and here). Armed with my quote i actually went to my local dealer as he happened to have the colour i wanted and it had a build date of June whereas the sydney dealer couldnt get me one until mid of Sept (that was what they originally said to me when quoting but ended getting it in Aug as mentioned). He also matched the fleet companys quote and told me that all dealers buy the cars from Honda at the same price (not sure how true this is??) as i quered him on the low price. Armed with the quote from my local dealer i informed the fleet company the next day as they agreed to use him (due to quick delivery) but unfortunately on the Monday the local dealer had sold the car to someone who walked in off the street (and therefore for he got a higher price for the car) so i had to end up going with the Sydney dealership.

I realise the fleet company probably has some bargaining power due to their purchasing but i just wanted to post what price is possible.

Sorry if it is perceived that I have misleed anyone with my previous post. Like others I come to Ozhonda to find out information about our cars and certainly don’t set out to post information that is BullS**t. If you want to know more details - pm me. In the meantime I will dig out the specifics (ie price ex GST, rego etc) so I can provide better specifics.

RRP is $53000 10% off is good.. but consider it is end of Month salesman are pretty desperate to hit budget... How about push for another $1000 lower to close the deal

**denot** · 24-09-2009 02:16 PM

is it the 2010 model (with black real parcel shelf, etc)? if yes, thats a good deal mate!

**accordeuro09** · 24-09-2009 02:37 PM

**jimlee008** · 24-09-2009 02:40 PM

haha... AUD... thankfully

So from the comments, I take it I'm getting a decent deal then... A relief really as it's the first time I've had to do the haggling for a new car...

I took the time to shop around and a dealer that had the colour I wanted in stock... luckily for me, it happens to be the closest dealer to home too, so that's good... I suppose this late in the month the dealers are eager to get it delivered quickly to add one to make their numbers look pretty...

Now they're trying to sell me paint protection, interior protection, tinting.... any opinions on that stuff? Your advice is appreciated!

Cheers!

wow man, nice price you've got there! the cheapest I can get is 49,999 drive away with tint n mats only

**noodleman27** · 24-09-2009 03:14 PM

i got 50k drive away for auto navi with tow bar, boot lining, and mat

sounds like you got a good deal there

no need to get tint done from dealer, they charge too much, you can tint your car for around $200-250 and they probably do a better job too

paint and interior protection is a scam LOL
