I would call Honda USA ... I bought my 2019 Si for invoice 23.8. there was NONE of the extra charges you show on the receipt. The dealership is more than on the rape take! If I did not see this with my own eyes, I would not have believed this! OMFG. Honestly ... This is why dealerships are what they are! Stealerships. If you call Honda ... You should get restitution!

If I am incorrect ... Please let me know but you CAN NOT just waive GAP with only a thousand down! Right??? Is this a hat trick? Holly SHIX!!!

The price of the vechile is artificially low ... Below the offering price. Did they simply NOT allow you to see the window sticker? This is a gross act of ... I am speechless!

This looks like 27k otd to me, which is about an average deal I would assume. It's 26k if you are either not counting the gap or not counting the 1k down payment. I paid about this for my 19 with a few accessories plus 120k Honda Care.
Either way, thanks for the rape guide or whatever it is you call it

You can waive gap with 0 down. It's completely optional

What's with all the random options? Congrats on the new car but that's far from a deal.

i bought my 2018 Si from Rusty Wallis Honda for $26k OTD with the 1.9% special rate they were running thru Honda Finance. all it had on it were the wheel locks and mud guards. i had them throw in the all weather mats and trunk mat too. i didnt get GAP or a warranty as i have it through GEICO.

Buying a car from a dealer is OFFICIALLY rated by the U.S. Public as being "THE WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN THE U.S". Also, let's not forget our friends in Canada who probably get raped just as much but they at least get a free Tim Horton's coffee. The reason why you can't get a deal is all the odds are stacked up against you, even if you pay cash. The dealers simply have 10 ways from Sunday to rip you off. They have something you want and they start with an outrageous MSRP AS A STARTING POINT. The dealer paid thousands less than that MSRP. The state and federal laws defend the dealer, not the customer. You can't win, there's only degrees of losing. My best advice is to finance as little as possible. If you have to save up money for a year or two then do it. Waiting a year and financing only 15K instead of 27K makes a lot more financial sense and should help you sleep better at night. 10K even better.

Congrats and enjoy a great car!

Also, welcome to the internet where everyones second uncles cousin got them a price that was $10K cheaper than what you did.

The price you paid is fine, a great deal actually on a car that's been on the streets as a 2020 for all of a month or so.

Did you get the chunky door edge gards and pinstripes as well? I had those taken off when I got ppf. Was not a fan.

Congrats on the car and for catches in finance!
