James, if gene did as I did, he didn't fall for a dealer ploy.  According to the dealer, my offer was more than $3000 under 'cost'.  That is why they wouldn't even deal from the salesmen or salesmanagers, at first.  I found out the true 'cost', from Consumer Reports on my exact car with VIN number. 

That is the reason I know they made $150 profit.  I knew before I walked in the dealership. I 'know what the delears (or paper investor, if you please) had to ultimately pay, including back-end reversal from maufacture (which, in Honda, is very little, American cars it can be much more).

  I would imagine that is what Gene did , also.  Consumer reports charges for this service, and it is well worth the money ....bobford
