Hi! This January, MSRP for this has been in the $4399 and i got mine after all dealer fees, licensing, tax, and the $500 rebate at a OTD price of $4600.

I thought it was a good deal. After looking around, I got mine at Honda Suzuki of Salt Lake and their first offer on me for this is 1600 less the Honda World's first offer and $500 less the Honda World's best offer with their best price guarantee. Honestly, i would have loved to buy it from the sales man from Honda World since he was very accommodating, friendly, and took the time to ride with me test driving the trx but when the pricing came, they were trying to screw me really bad. Its disappointing and insulting to know he didn't treat us a the smart buyers who should be given the best price while two other dealerships did. So i ended up getting mine from HS of SL since their first offer was very fair and they treated us really nicely and there was no screwing around. I would love to see the Honda world salesman and tell to his face that his best deal with the best price guarantee is 500 more than what i got from the others.

Anyways, on the showroom, the trx was advertised with the actual msrp of $4399 but on sale for $3899 after rebate. Then the dealer gave it to me with the selling price of 4199 minus the $500 Honda rebate ending me with 3699. Then i ended up with the total of 4600 after tax, licensing,and dealer fees. Then while i was in the manager's office, i kind of accidentally got a peek on his little chart of prices hidden behind his monitor and i saw the list of fees they charge buyers. i carefully compared it to the charges on my contract and surprisingly, they'll all the same except for the freight fee. the freight fee i got charged is 211 when in the chart it says 198 for above 3k priced atvs. so basically, based on the price chart and what they charged me, i could only think that they made money on me from the $13 freight fee and whatever they get from the selling price of the atv. all other fees are state and licensing fees which are pretty standard so i know they didn't make any on it and there weren't any other bs fees i could see.

so i was just wondering if this has been a really good deal for a 2011 honda trx250x one? i think it may not be the best ofcourse but hope it was a good one still....

 

You probably did OK. Anytime I buy anything from a dealership, I come out a little sore in the posterior region. But, hey! As long as it makes you happy, it's all that matters. Right?

 

hmmm i did a little more research and i was given an offer for otd of $4345 (no haggling yet) at this other dealership but it was like an hour away from my place. oh well. what matters is i got something i really liked and i'm happy with it

 

yup yup!

 

Last time I bought one off the dealer floor, I told them what I'd give OTD. Now they still charged all the little fees they charge. I presume it's so they get that money back from the manufacturer. But as long as I got the price I wanted, I didn't care.

Tell them you want an out the door price.
