Best I got it was $1500 with no hidden fees/packages @ new century Honda.
After that couple of $2500 and $4000...wish I kept my spreadsheet but deleted.

I purchased SGP for $2,000 over MSRP last month at Airport Marina Honda (Los Angeles)

it was stickered at $73K (with ADM and dealer installed crap)

they had two on the lot and needed to sell one to get a new allocation from Honda.

all other dealers from Santa Maria down to San Diego were at least $5K over

I found several MSRP from out-of-state, but about $1,500 to transport to SoCal

Got mine from Fisher Honda in MI.....1,6k for towing and the whole experience was amazing, probably the best car buying experience I ever had, no CA dealer BS and straight to the point.

MSRP and forged wheels as an option (something I wanted to have anyways).

Did you pay $1.6k on top of MSRP for towing? I'm just curious why you didn't go with new century for $1.5k over MSRP?

Thanks. I think if CA dealers can do $1.5k max over MSRP that's still better than buying out of state and having to pay for transport since we wouldn't need to do smog check and go to DMV for paperwork.

Agree, even at $2K over...

Also I did not really want to buy it sight unseen and/or risk damage during transportation

Which is why I jumped on the offer...

I was offered a Boost Blue in SD at MSRP and I know someone got a BB in Santa Rosa at MSRP. I only wanted CBP and found it at MSRP in Michigan and shipping it enclosed to NorCal for 1.7k.

Could you share the name of the SD dealership? I am looking for Boost Blue. Thanks.

It was at DCH Honda Mission Valley but that was quoted to me earlier in March.

Bought a BBP 2025 FL5 today for exactly MSRP.
I saw it a few times at a local dealer, but assumed that the reason it was hanging around was that they were asking too much.
Turns out they said MSRP as soon as I asked.
Should get it on Wednesday.

Grats! Which dealer?

Stratham Honda, Stratham, NH

There are other dealers near me who SAY that they're asking MSRP, but I haven't actually tried to buy one at any of them.

I finally received my CBP 2025 FL5 at MSRP with no dealer add ons from Battle Creek Honda in Michigan. Great dealer to work with and buying out of state forced them to do all transactions and signing electronically or overnight mail which was a refreshing compared to doing it all in person. I almost purchased a CBP from a dealer from Louisiana but someone swooped it under my feet. Less common finishes like CBP and RR are out there for MSRP so don’t give into ADM if you can!
