One year free gas with purchase of an Accord in Canada

Grommet 19 April 2005 04:15:23
 Honda dealers are offering one year of free gas (with conditions) with
the purchase of an Accord in Canada until early May.

I'm in the market for an Accord, so that sounds interesting, but what
I'm wondering is, with deals like this, do the dealers usually reduce
the discount they would otherwise be allowing during price
negotiation? If so, this is not really such a good deal, and I think I
would rather wait a couple months to make the purchase...

I could ask the dealer about that, but it will not be easy to find
out.

Your views?

Assuming 12,000 miles per year driving, at 30mpg and $3 per gallon, the
dealer is basically giving a price break of $1,200.

Whether you actually see this price break depends on whether or not they
get it back from you in "extra fees", options, finance charges, all the
usual places they hide additional costs to you.

Since that inevitably ends up in the price of the car one way or another,
you will pay auto sales tax for the extra $1200 on top of the taxes built
into the gasoline, plus interest on it over the life of the car loan. Not a
good deal any way you slice it.

You'd be better off negotiating without the gasoline gimmick.

I measured that $3 in US gallons and in Canadian dollars.

If your $4.30 is Imperial gallons, that translates to $3.58 for a US
gallon.

I paid 81¢ Cdn per liter yesterday, which is $3.07 Cdn for a US gallon
(about $2.56US).

I'm in Ontario. The price has been fluctuating between 79¢ and 83¢ over the
last week or so.

Don't you guys have California-style "boutique" gas, with MTBE and other
crap?

Oh we have words with them, every time we look at the price we're paying
{;^)

Realistically, we don't have the population/tax base that you do in Ontario,
and you know how much the thieves (err, politicians) love to line their
pockets.

I just bought an 05 EX-V6 sedan while this free gas promotion was on. I
elected to take the equivalent discount off the price of the car because you
also save on the GST + PST. I actually negotiated a bigger discount than the
$1200 value of gas.

Excellent -- care to give us an idea of how much bigger?

Did you pay that "administrative fee"?

The list price of an 05 Accord EX-V6 sedan including all fees is $34800
(plus PST+GST). If you took the gas value discount it would be $33600. I
paid $32000 (plus PST+GST), no additional fees.
