Looking for best out-the-door prices on a Touring. I live in California. Hoping to negotiate the best deal I can this week as we approach July 4th.
There are many factors including tax rates that will not get you the best answer. Start with asking to pay $33,000 plus TTL without add-ons.
There are many factors where the dealer can make up the profit on other things like financing and price on a trade-in. For example, someone could get a great price on the purchase but a terrible price on the trade (my brother, for example). My price was only just OK but I had no trade-in and no financing and no options (also bought the first Clarity that showed up on the dealer lot last Dec--their only one).
The hard bargain I drove to get the Clarity I waited a year to purchase, which arrived on December 2nd: the dealer agreed to mount the snow tires I brought in.
