I drove to Harrisburg PA and picked up my black Clarity at Faulkner Honda. Price before taxes and dmv fees was $28490. Added to this was PA sales tax and DMV fees. No additional dealer fees or add-ons.
Fantastic deal. How much was the documentation fee? I think PA caps it at $144 I'm just curious if that is the case.
 
Paid $30,500 otd in the Seattle area for a base model. The dealer threw in all-weather mats, wheel locks, and door edge guards.

Price: 27069.13
Sales Tax: 2788.12 (10.3%)
Title & License: 492.75
Doc Fee: 150.00
OTD: 30,500.00

Based on posts here I initially thought I could probably get the price down to $29,500 otd if I worked harder for it, but I was concerned by the relatively low number of base models in the area.

Here is the breakdown and a picture as well with all the details...

Price $28,490
Sales tax $1390.40 (based on 6% and the net of my trade which was $6500)
PA tire tax $5.00
Registration $87.00 (breaks out to $53 for title, $9 transfer on my existing plate, $25 encumbrance)
Doc fee $144 (I've seen higher numbers from other dealers out of state and I feel like I've seen higher in state as well)
PA online reg charge $16.97
Total $30062.37

Which dealer? I was in the same situation as you. Now that I see that they passed the bill for no sales tax, I wish that I had waited! :)
 
Hi Jason P,

I'm in MD near DC and checking 2018 Clarity Base/Touring prices nearby, best I came across was Touring $29600+TTL+DMV Fees. I don't see any Clarity inventory on Faulkner website, any other places close to price you received? TIA.

Can you share the dealership name and sales person contact info? Thanks.
 
Just bought a 2018 Clarity touring . . . Price before taxes and dmv fees was $28490. Added to this was PA sales tax and DMV fees. No additional dealer fees or add-ons. I was able to get similar deals at other dealerships . . .

If anyone needs any info on dealers I interacted with or how I got to the deal just let me know.

BTW loving the car!!!

Thanks for the info and congratulations -- great deal! Other than Faulkner and Apple, which dealers offered similar pricing?

Price $28,490
Doc fee $144
That works out as:

MSRP 37,495
Dealer price 28,634 (28,490 + 144)
Discount 8,861

I think that is the biggest discount I have seen for a touring. Do you mind sharing the manufacturing date (located on door jamb) and the number of miles on the odometer at purchase?
 
I bought the last 2018 Honda Clarity Touring in stock (White on Tan) this past Monday from Oursiman Honda in Bethesda for $29,500.00 +TTL+DMV fees. The Demo was the price, but it has all the options. Joyce Koons Honda in Manassas offered it for a few hundred dollars cheaper on May 9th, but I decided to buy it from Oursiman since it's down the street.The manager at koons offered it to me and I do not recall his name. The dealerships numbers is 703-368-9100.
 
I seem to be missing something. After a lot of negotiating with a local dealer in CT, I can't get much below $31,750 on a 2019 base model. I'm going to see if I can find a 2018 model in stock, but can anyone tell me whether these prices are state-specific? Are you factoring in the local rebates (CT has a $1k rebate that I'm not including).

No, the prices we are quoted are not state specific and don't include any local rebates. It depends on dealer if they are motivated to clear 2018 stock.
 
I got a 2018 Touring OTD for $28.5k in PA. Last one at the dealer so lucked out. Only had 21 miles on it.
Wow! What was the dealer price before tax and license? Also just for curiosity what was the manufacturing date, the month/year is located on the sticker in the driver door jamb.

$26,588.71, 11/18 manufacturing date. $11k off MSRP.

After $1k PA rebate and $7.5k tax credit, it will be $20k OTD

Nice!

Is that from Apple? I was going to check them out about a trade for the green one they had (11/18 build), and they had already offered me a really good price (matched the best Baltimore metro offer I had, with no hesitation), but things cropped up that prevented me from getting there. If that is them, you did even better than the already great offer I had. Either way, congrats and enjoy!
