Find Honda Dealers in Duluth, Minnesota

Thanks to this forum for excellent advice. I will attempt to "re-pay". The following was my Twin Cities leasing experience. I sent the following EM to the metro Honda Dealers plus ones in Mankato, Rochester, Duluth, Sioux Falls, and Eau Claire.: ========================================================== Dear Internet Manager: I am interested in leasing a Honda Pilot EX AWD w/Leather before the end of December. I am looking for a 42 month lease with no money down (except for tax/title/registration) with 12,000 miles per year. Colors: Desert Rock or Amazon Green. Please provide me your best offer in the following format: 1) Sales Price (including destination charge) 2) Money Factor 3) Residual value 4) Monthly payment I understand that Money Factor will vary based on my credit score. I am Ok if you provide the 2 best possible money factors contingent on my credit. Please understand that I am well versed in market pricing, dealer holdbacks and the like. I hope we can do business together. ========================================================== Surprisingly, I only heard back from two of the Twin Cities Dealerships (Burnsville and Hopkins). I had lots of interest from the non-metro area dealers. I'll cut to the chase: 1) Winning Dealership: Ken Vance Car City in Eau Claire 2) Price Paid including dest charge :$29,500 3) Accessories(Mats and Mud Flaps): $205 4) Money Factor: .001 (determined by your credit score) 5) Residual: $18,813.20 (Determined by Honda corp.) 6) Money Down: $896.75 (Registration, 1st month payment, and $89.50 services fee for dealership) 7) Monthly payment: $343.50 (includes MN sales tax of 6.5%) Lessons Learned: a) On leasing focus your negotiation on the Sales Price (that is really the only thing the dealer can negotiate) b) Consider as many dealerships as possible c) The Twin Cities dealerships had no real interest in negotiating d) I would highly recommend Ken Vance Car City. Although I did not purchase from, Tom Kadlec Honda in Rochester was very responsive I hope this helped someone get a better deal. Thanks!
