Find Honda Dealers in Hickory, North Carolina

I would recommend McKenney-Salinas Honda in Gastonia, NC. We purchased a 2011 EX-L (no NAV or RES) at the end of June for: EX-L: $32,830 (INCLUDING $810 destination charge) Roof rails installed $216 All season floor mats $146.25 Cargo tray: $67.86 Folding cargo mat: $71.37 Accessories shipping $24 Subtotal: $33,356.09 NC Tax: $1000.68 NC Tag: $70.50 Doc fee $389 Total: $34,816.27 Their pricing includes pinstripe, wheel locks, Scotch Guard protection and splash guards. Accessories listed were priced to match www.bernardiparts.com prices. I used the Amex zag pricing program (http://amexnetwork.zag.com/main.html?referrer_id=RAMX7191931). You do not need to be an Amex cardholder to use the program. I checked with 5 dealerships (from Rock Hill, SC, Hendrick Honda of Charlotte, Gastonia, Huntersville, to Hickory, NC). The other 4 dealerships pulled out when they saw McKenney's price. McKenney also found us the vehicle in the color we wanted (black) within two weeks. The saleswoman was excellent to work with -- very straightforward. By the way, the Amex zag price was lower than the Costco Auto Program pricing. Hendrick Honda of Charlotte was only willing to give us $1,000 off MSRP for the Costco Auto Program. McKenney had the lowest Amex zag price. Hendrick Honda lowered their Amex zag price to match McKenney's several weeks after we purchased, so you may want to check their current price. Good luck!

finalized a deal for $24,500 OTD, here in Hickory, NC. Not the best deal i wanted , but i guess its a good deal. any comments?

laplas, Could you share the name of your dealership in the Charlotte area where you purchased? I got BS quotes from Hickory for 2010 EX-L and Touring, even higher than invoice!! Did you offer a price online, over the phone or in person?

I got several quotes in NC. The quote that Leith gave me is $23,411 OTD. That's ~$670 over invoice OTD price I calculated (I did not factor in holdback). It sounds like a really good deal, but I'm a bit nervous because it doesnt fit the reputation of Leith that I've heard about. In negotiations, you generally start your negotiating position at a favorable position for yourself. Leith came in with a quote about $1100-1200 lower than other dealers (Flows, Hickory). I'm wondering what kind of gambit are they running? Or is Leith trying to do some honest business here. I also requested a quote from Crown Honda twice, but they refuse to give me a quote until I come into their office -- and that's their internet sales mgr talking. Which fits their reputation perfectly.

For Charlotte-Hickory NC Area. Just had a delightful buying experience at Hickory Honda dealership located about 45 miles outside of Charlotte- got 2007 4 dr A/T EX Sedan, Atomic Blue for $19,600 out the door- with all fees, taxes, etc. included. This included mud guards, pinstripes and wheel locks. Very easy dealership to deal with.
