Hey everyone!

I am shopping for a Touring sedan in Cosmic Blue Metallic. Here is what I got so far.

• What the Car costs Used this:

Car notes: 4D 1.5T L4 Touring Continuously variable Transmission PZEV

• Here are the quotes I got after contacting dealerships:

1. Spreen honda

Price: 22427
Addon: 1495
Destination: 835

Total: 24757 + tax (2600?)​

OTD: ~27357​

2. Corona

Price: 24089
Add on: 995 + 895 (mud flap, locks, cargo tray)
Total: 25979 + Tax (2600?)
OTD: ~28579

Note: dealer said they would take off the 895$ if I take another color.​

3. Santa Barbara

Price: 26580
Addon: none
Total26580 + tax (2400?)
OTD: ~28980​

What I want to pay OTD is $26500. Or as close to that as possible. I read a post from someone who said they got a touring for:

26717 otd @ Gardena Honda

Here are my questions:

• Is the OTD price I want even possible? I have seen threads where people bought there car for 23k for example but that is not in the state of California.
• If what I want is not reasonable. What number should I be shooting for?
• Another issue is the color that I want seems to be sold out every where. Do they make the touring in cosmic blue? Sales men I spoke to said that this color may be limited edition.
• Knowing that the Type R is coming out soon. Can I use that to my advantage? If so how?
• Memorial day is about 2 months away. Should I just wait until then? To try?
• Is it easier to get the car you want if you buy in a group?

I hope this helps someone on getting there car. If you can help me in anyway I would appreciate it.

Did you ever go in and get a quote? I'm running numbers in SD and I keep coming out at $28.6k OTD. I haven't gone and talked to the dealer yet, but going to later this week.
