Not gonna lie i call bullshit on both your stories eitherway anybody can photo shop a buyers order. Just be happy we got si's
Very true. Some people are just salty I guess. I love my Si. I have owned 7 Si's since 92. This by far is my favorite though. I did love my 08 Mugen Si though.

The dealership had 4 the day I purchased. Still 3 left

This is the 39th Honda/Acura (Not a Typo) I have purchased from this dealership. I worked there when I was in college in the late 90's ...
I have an honest question -- this math means you basically bought 2 cars every year, for the past 20 years, from the same dealership. May I ask why? Just trying to understand what would possibly prompt one to buy a new car every 6 months. Also, how could it possibly be a good thing financially? Wouldn't you automatically lose money with every such transaction?

Well some cars were project cars. Some were for my wife. The rest I have a decent commute about 100 miles a day so I would trade them in almost yearly. I believe 3 times I was a little upside down but I'm talking $500 to a $1000. All my cars were bought at invoice or lower so I never took a hit on my trade in. Now a days I have a company vehicle for the last few years. I average about 2k to 3k a year on my cars now.

almost yearly
39 cars between "late 90s" and now (presuming "1997" would be a reasonable guess), that's 19.5 years, which makes it "twice a year", not "almost yearly"
But yeah, if you're getting them all at invoice, that's cool.
Even though incredibly unusual, to say the least... :)

...and people tell me I'm crazy for having bought 25 vehicles in 28 years of driving. o_O

I should probably get rid of the Ridgeline since after 6 weeks with the Si it's pretty clear I have little interest in driving it - that's almost $40K just sitting there collecting dust and depreciating. Based on history, however, the moment I sell it I'll need a truck. I do enjoy seeing it in the garage, though - that White Diamond Pearl paint sparkles beautifully under the overhead lighting of my garage door opener. :confused:

Well with all that said. I love my new Si. This is my 7th one and the best so far. Wish it went to 7k RPM. 6500 is a lil low but the low end torque makes up for the high end screaming. Played with a modified GTI today and lost as expected but not as much as I thought. Hondata and mods coming soon. Side skirts aren't coming in till next week :( Front lip is in but just waiting till all parts are in.

I was able to negotiate it down to $25,000. But he didn't even have the Si I wanted in stock and wouldn't stop harassing me asking for my credit card to put a deposit down.

The image I uploaded is what he replied to me after I told him I was no longer interested and bought a car elsewhere.

Wow! Can't spell and makes a smartass remark to you as well. Good thing you didn't buy from that uneducated POS.

Well, inventory is starting to accumulate at the lots. So I suspect the market adjustments will start to fizzle by mid September, after 2018 changeover. For those still looking for a decent deal, stay patient. Half the dealers in my area are selling at or very near MSRP, w/o add-ons.
I agree. I went to my 2nd local dealership today just to test the waters and see if they would go below invoice. They wouldn't budge at all from the 24,775 sticker price.

I'm in the process of buying an Si and was given an accessories list with installed prices way above the numbers on Honda's website. Is this something that belongs on the dealer naughty list?
