whoa.. almost $1500 off of MSRP.. thats really impressive.. makes me feel like an a$$ for paying $1000 more .. congrats of a great purchase.. I also had a similar experience as far as accessories.. strangely, Gardena Honda tried to charge more than the Honda website for accessories and installation.. the sales manager's excuse was that the Honda website is a "national average" and that dealers in Southern California have higher installations charges than other parts of the country. I found that really hard to believe. I told him that even if the service department was charging $60/hour (although it may be slightly more), he was trying to charge me 6 hours of labor to install (more like stick on) a few pieces of wood trim. Eventually he ended up giving me 10% off of the accessories and a fair price for installaton (although it was still slightly higher than the Honda website)..
