You are Lost! - When I bought Honda Accords, I always used a broker. They saved me about $1,000 off the best deal I could get myself at a dealer. The 'broker fee' usually is a lot cheaper than the dealer profit that the 'average joe' pays.

I used to call my Broker and he gave me a screaming deal price over the phone in 10 seconds. - Same price for everyone! Brokers are used by people that want a great price without checking with multiple dealerships and wasting a lot of time. The broker I used had relationships with Honda dealerships in rural areas in 5 states. When I wanted a car he located one for me and had it shipped in. He added $200 to his cost of every Honda he sold. He had such a good reputation that he sold over 150 Hondas a month out of his house. He long since retired!

Quite a few folks on this forum use a Broker for their GS350. I called one, but managed to get a deal direct from the dealer that was $500 below his price. But the broker in New York beat my Minneapolis dealer by $2500.

o wow, thanks for the true awakening, I don't need a local broker, I guess they can locate stuff all over the states for me, any one that you can recommend to me? I would definitely like to give them a try.

Usually they serve a local market. I have not dealt with one that services the entire country.
