Been lurking here for a while and done a few posts.
I’m shopping for a Touring AWD. Very discouraging. We settled on Black Forest Pearl. However, in the near 42 dealers w/341 Passports, there is only 1! And that dealer is not budging.(they also pre-loaded it w/$903 dealer installed options!)
Local dealer, whom I’ve bought 2 Hondas from, is willing to transfer the BFP here, but won’t deal. They wouldn’t even honor an auto-generated TrueCar discount of $1368! The only bright thing about trying to deal, was I asked for $25K trade in for my ’17 CR-V EX-L w/7800 mi.(KBB high trade-in) The used car mgr checked it out and said Yes to that.
I had thought that ’17 V would be the last new car I would ever buy – got a little age factor going here. Boy, was that a mistake!
So jealous of other areas getting good discounts, back east, Portland and LA area. But N CA and central valley sucks! My last 2 Honda buys were; 3 emails, 9.3% off – 2 emails, 10% off. Quick clean deals.
Our 2nd choice would be the Deep Scarlet Pearl. There are 4 I can locate. Tried to work with one, but we are $1300 apart.
Sorry for the long vent.
