Last Thursday I purchased my 2006 FEH. My FEH is titanium green with dark flint interior. I purchased the premium package which includes the CD/NAV system, and leather seats. My FEH is also equipped with the safety package and moonroof options. The MSRP was $32,690 which was consistent the KBB info I had researched.

The salesperson first told me there was a $4K premium on all FEH that must be added to the MSRP! I told the salesperson no way and walked out of the showroom. The salesperson called me at home and over the next several days we had several meetings. Bottom line was they sold the FEH to me for $30,220. Add $2,345 for California Sales Tax, $45 document preparation, $260 License Fee, $8 Calif Tire Recycle Fee and the out the door cost came to $32,879 dollars.

I did not buy the extended warranty as I opted to stay with the standard 36K warranty. The salesperson told me the battery is warrantied to 10 years in CA.

So far my FEH has lived up to all of my expectations. It really helps to take the KBB and Edmunds vehicle purchase research info with you. It levels the playing field as the buyer now has access to almost as much info as the seller. And of course the info I received from this site help too.
