$3k below invoice: 2008 Pilot EX through Costco Auto Program
by docnice on Mon Apr 21 09:23:21 PDT 2008
$3000 below invoice. We felt intimidated by what we perceived as the high pressure sales style of our local Honda dealer, so we looked online through CarsDirect.com, which as far as I can tell can't be beat on price. But I still prefer a more involved approach to car buying, so I filled out the form on Costco.com. They say a dealer will call you within 24 hours, but also give you the contact info of the dealer if you want to call first. We called and asked if we could come over right away, and it turned out to be the same local dealer, Sam Linder Honda in Salinas, CA. This was a great decision. You have to buy through Costco. It's worth the $50 membership on its own. Costco's negotiated price was $500 over invoice for a Pilot (varies by car). Plus we got the $3,500 dealer incentive, giving us $3,000 below invoice. That was far less than Edmunds True Market Value pricing, and just a couple hundred more than CarsDirect.com's quoted price. In return, we got great customer service, got to see and test drive the cars, almost no pressure (see more below), no haggling, no obligation to buy, and of course Costco standing behind us should we have problems. The salesperson was helpful and spent a lot of time with us, but didn't pressure us. There was no haggling over the car price. We asked for quotes on some add-ons like cross bars and a tow package, which he gave us for well below MSRP. The only small amount of pressure was him encouraging us to apply for a loan through Honda rather than 3rd party financing (which was a good decision due to a lower rate) and of course the sales pitch in the finance room for all the extras, which wasn't too bad, and which we actually bought a few things. We were able to talk him down on Gap insurance and a car alarm. It still took a few hours to compare models, test drive, finance and buy, but compared to our last car buying experience, this was night and day. Imagine going to a car lot and saying "how much is that car?" and getting a straight answer. This is the only way to go.

On Sunday I purchased a 2007 CR-V EX-L with no options for $500 over invoice. Worked out to $27,500 out the door. Saturday night, they weren't even close. This is the fourth Honda I have purchased from this dealer. My last Accord was purchased in Gilroy, and my S2000 was purchased in Clovis, CA. I live in Salinas, CA.
MSRP Price NOT Listed on Window Sticker
by vlado1 on Sat Jul 15 17:25:32 PDT 2006
I went to purchase my "new" 2006 Civic Hybrid today at Salinas, CA Honda. To my dismay the sticker was removed from the window and was resting on the rear seat, in addition there was no price listed on the sticker, it only had "cva" written instead of the actual $22,700 sticker price. I have asked a few other dealers about this and received less than adequate explanations, the majority mentioned this was a car intended to be a demo unit. All of them told me not to buy this car and I followed their recommendations. Any thoughts on this one, sounds like a scam and that this dealer could actually be fined for this.
2006 EX-L Automatic Sdn
by jj655 on Wed Oct 26 19:46:46 PDT 2005
I just bought my new Accord last week in Salinas, California. I have the new Carbon Metalic color and get many compliments. I really like the new 2006 rear end. The car is great and I paid $500 over listed Invoice. (Not too bad for a desired color), I did not buy anything extra and appreciate the new powertrain warranty on the 2006 models. I know this is a Honda and I should not need the warranty. I actually wrote Honda a letter of compliement regarding the dealer in Salinas (Sam Linder Honda). I really did not do any negociating and they were very professional. Entire transaction was completed in about 90 minutes. This is my first Honda. (My previous cars were Porsche, Lexus, and MBZ...I must say I love my Honda and really think the MPG is terrific!!!) Good Luck!

Great Price = No Inventory
by netjr1 on Thu Sep 04 15:02:38 PDT 2003
Saw the post about Autowest and Serramonte. They are not alone. If you get a great price like I did from San Leandro Honda by email it means they either added options or don't even have the car. I got a price of $17,288 on an LX accord from them, automatic, and so I called to make an appointment. I wanted to confirm a vin number before I drove from Salinas all the way up there - they didn't have one period. What good is a price if they don't have the car? Another dealer refused to match the price because they had the car I wanted and they know - the other dealers don't.
