Anyone know what the Honda employee is?
I received a letter from my local honda dealer stating that I could buy any new Honda vehicle at a price normally reserved for their employees. They'll also throw in 0.0% financing on 2004 models. Too good to be true? 
Deal is for this weekend only as they're trying to win the 'prestigious President's award. Hmmm....
I could see myself in an 04 sk2.

my dad used to work at honda, and we never got any special discount. our 'discount' per se, was that he took my civic, sold it to a wholesaler in the name of honda, and then went back and bought it for wholesale for me. His boss wasnt to happy about that. the car was only 2 years old at the time and instead of selling for like 13k, we got it for 9k
i think its bull just getting people to come in

i think the honda discount is invoice less destination charge..................0% Apr on any Honda is a gimmick, they'll sell it at list and buy down the rate

I think it depends on the dealer. When i sold i could get any honda at invoice, cept the s2000. we could only get 500 off that one.

if they are doing 0%, they will not discount the price and use the mark up in the car to buy the rate down........call them, offer them invoice on an Accord and 0% for 60 months and listen to them back peddle

No, i'm not going to play games w/them.
Initially they said that the s2k wasn't included in the promo. They're checking w/the GM now because the letter states, "ANY new vehicle." We'll see...

It does depend on the dealer...I get normal finance charges or the best my credit would allow me but for the cost of the car I get it for $500 over cost. However this only applies to cars that aren't in demand...meaning if i wanted a new TL or MDX...because the waiting list at my dealer is sooo fucking long I won't get this didcount. But if we have some in stock or there isn't a waiting period I get it for $500 over cost...which saves approx $2-4K depending on dealer and vehicle.

Plus, $900 over invoice ain't a bad deal to start with.

actually from what ive seen, Audi sux on residual
To give an example, a 2004 Audi S4 is $46k and after 3 years its residual value is $22k.........not that great, not bad, but for a luxury car, it's not that great.

Maybe it's the reliability factor on the S4,

Well, try to get the figures from the latest ALG book. My bet is it'll be better than 50%. Maybe I can scrounge one up at work...
My 2cents says Leasecompare sucks, but to each their own. It's anybodies guess where that site gets their info.
