My dealer absolutely would not go below MSRP. Why should he, really?
Everyone seems to want this car. The price is what the market will
bear and we have to like it or lump it. Once the insurance adjuster
declared my '91 hatchback "totaled" they only gave three days' rental
car for me to buy something new. It totally sucked and I was at the
mercy of Honda. If I didn't already know what I wanted, I would have
been screwed. I paid the MSRP of exactly $17,110 plus $550 destination
(and a bunch more in accessories). Perhaps if I had until early next
year it would have been different, but that's the brakes [sic].
