Price Received - Trade In, Sale, Total

I did check but unfortunately that is just the base model a little under MSRP.

I will keep Mr. Sylvan in mind if I do head up there, thank you

 

I don't know how often it's been called out...
But the Honda dealer association bans advertising any prices on new vehicles below invoice price (and usually they just list at full msrp). This means you must call/email/ visit/get quote in a situation such as the Clarity where there is a mfr to dealer incentive that should lower the price. They can't advertise lower prices on their websites, or they will receive stiff fines. This also leads to many dealers refusing to negotiate at all because they'll point customers to search online, where zero vehicles will be found with lower list prices, and they know they'll eventually find customers to just pay full msrp.

 

Dealer gave me $21,500 for my 2018 base with 25,000 miles when it was 1 yr old. Traded it in for a 2019 clarity base. I did not negotiate the trade in price, i basically got a new clarity with no out of pocket cost thanks to honda’s big incentives.

You forgot to mention the IRS' larger tax credit.

 

I also got $9,450 is rebates and tax credits that made my new clarity trade in free

This thread has been useful. My wife has always wanted an Audi and now that the Q5 PHEV is available, I think she is going to go that direction. We’ll see what the dealer offers for our red ‘18 Touring with only 15,000 miles (and 2 oil changes )

 

We traded our '18 Touring PHEV Clarity into the Audi dealer when we bought our Q5e PHEV. They gave us $23,000 for it, with 15,000 miles. They put it on their pre-owned lot for $25,500 and sold it for $25,000. It needed nothing, so they made a tidy $2000 on it. The buyer texted me to ask about its service record before the purchase, because the Honda dealer did not report services to Carfax. We paid $26,500 for it 2 years ago, so we drove a really nice car for 2 years and 15,000 miles for only $3500 in depreciation, $0 maintenance costs (the original purchase deal included free first service), and very low electricity cost since we charged it primarily with our home solar system. Oh yah, maybe a couple of tanks of gas at the most! A bargain in my book.
