Buying Today: What Is Dealer Invoice On Base & Sport?

I live in Florida and I need DEALER INVOICE on both cars ASAP. Can anyone help?
BTW: Forget all the BS they try to add to the car. What is dealer invoice on a BASE & S model without any pinstriping and all that ripoff stuff.
THANKS!!

Sport AT Invoice = $15,400
Sport MT Invoice = $14,700
Base AT Invoice = $14,200
Base MT Invoice = $13,400

Of course you have to add the destination charge of $670 to each price.

I have a friend who is a Honda dealer in FL; he's getting $1K over MSRP. Surely you don't think your going to buy at invoice plus $50. We both had a good laugh. You'll be lucky to find a dealer willing to sell at MSRP without ADP and all kinds of 'stuff'. But good luck.
guy at work has good data; don't forget to add the shipping to the model cost to get the true invoice price.

just that you know there's a $1500 dealer markup since the demand is quite high for the car

Invoice means nothing. Anyone coming to me for a Fit at invoice or any number in relation to invoice is welcome to keep shopping.

Seriously, we can't get them so why should we discount them?

That being said, we do NOT mark them up over sticker.

How so? What they probably did was make you happy by showing you invoice on the new car, then hold their profit on your car. Either way, you still got a great car. And besides, used car trade in values are so subjective, how certain are you that you got "robbed?"

Because they offered $1,000 less than other dealers, but they also gave me the car at invoice instead of MSRP ($600 diff) and threw in some accessories (floor mats, cargo cover, wheel locks). They make their money one way or the other.

I went with them though because they actually had the exact car I wanted in stock, and I couldn't find another dealer in So Cal that did.

How about 'transaction fees' ? Anything over about $250 is ADP over MSRP.

Since Hondadaddy never came back I can assume he did not get it at invoice.

As for the FIT selling in general cheaper in California than other states, my guess is when shipping the car is cheaper. They come to our ports ( SD LA Oakland bay) and then are delivered a short distance via truck. Defiantly more expensive to ship the car to other states with out a port nearby.

Using Florida as an example. The car is boated to a port somewhere (Washington California Texas maybe? Then trucked all the way to Florida. The only other way that I can think of is going down though the panama canal then direct to a Florida port. Even that costs more than a direct route to Cali.

Just my 2 cents

Shipping and destination is the same to every dealer. Honda simply takes an average. Pilots and Ody are made in Alabama so its cheaper to ship those to Florida. It is simply supply and demand. If Chris has some he can sell them at MSRP, if other dealers don't they can ask more.

I paid sticker here in Santa Fe, NM. $16,670 otd.

Dealer can't keep them. Mine is a red sport AT, and I had to drop 1k 'down' to keep the other folks on the lot from snaging it! They won't have any others for 1 month btw. Crazy.

We just bought one on Monday. They tried to mark it up but I got it for MSRP. It's a base model MT. So far we like it, put Keyless Entry in last night. Took me about 30 minutes.
