I live in the San Francisco bay area, and it seems like most dealers here are charging anywhere from 2000 to 4000(!) over MSRP for the '06 HCH w/NAVi. Here's what I've found:

Capitol Honda: MSRP+3000 (sales mgr)
South Bay Honda: MSRP+2500 (sales mgr)
Honda of Stevens Creek: MSRP+3000 (salesman)
AutoWest Honda: MSRP+4000 (email quote)
Larry Hopkins Honda: MSRP (I put down a $500 deposit here, but I don't have the MSRP offer in writing, now I'm worried they will see what everyone else is doing and jack it up)
Anderson Honda: Got an online quote for MSRP, but it was emailed to me while I was on my honeymoon Once I got back, the offer had 'expired'. Now they won't give me a new price or take my deposit until they get more info on their next allocation (all the HCH's in their first allocation are already sold)

Is this typical of what others are seeing? Anyone else in the SF bay area with different info? I may just wait until the inital rush is over and they go back to MSRP, but it seems like (from this forum and vtec.net) plenty of people are getting MSRP, or even LESS than MSRP! Am I just not using the magic handshake???

The guy at South Bay tried to tell me that NO dealer will be selling for less than 2k over MSRP, and that ALL dealers are only getting 2 at a time, so I could be in for a long wait. He also said that Honda is only making about 75,000 HCHs (I thought it was more like 250k?)

thanks!
