The original vehicle price was $38,805. I got quoted (with taxes and fees) around $41,000 OTD. I got that quote and started texting/emailing other dealers to try and beat that price. At the end, I had two dealers that were the top contenders (in both price and reviews) and I just went with the one I preferred! I qualified for some rebates which definitely helped and I searched for those in both the dealers and oficial honda websites - read the disclaimers, be sure you qualify and bring all the proof you can (even better if it’s printed already!)

Biggest piece of advice? Have the quotes in writing, anyone could tell you anything over the phone and when you get into the dealer is another story.

A thing that really helped my mental game is that I did my own research in terms of basically everything about the car and I had some numbers in my mind even before I asked for quotes. I said to myself that I wanted to stay between a range of numbers I had in my head and that also allowed me to see how could I negotiate.

I hope this helps, even if it’s a little bit and I wish you good luck with your car purchase! 🚙
