Spent the last few weeks negotiating a 2026 Honda CR-V EX AWD over email. We finally agreed on $36.5k OTD, so I drove to the dealership, test drove the car (they even let me take it by myself), got the VIN, started setting up insurance, and was literally about to sign.

Then they came back and said Honda incentives had changed since the month rolled over, so now the OTD price was $37,380 instead.

They showed paperwork explaining the incentive change, so it wasn’t some random nitrogen tire or VIN etching scam. Still, after weeks of negotiating a specific number, it felt like the rug got pulled out from under me.
I thanked them, got up, and walked out.

A few hours later they emailed saying they’d “honor the number until Saturday.” I clarified whether they meant the original $36.5k. Nope, they meant the “new” $37,380.

Fuck this 🫠

Edit: they acknowledged the miss on their end a day after, they will honor the pricing we agreed on.

Was looking for a good new SUV in the low $30k, we seem to be settling over the Hyundai Tucson and I wondered if my shopping yielded a good deal or not.

- $31,889.88 OTD for a 2026 black SEL AWD, including taxes (MA) and dealership fees.
- %6.39 APR for 60 months, which triggers a Hyundai Finance rebate. The plan is to prepay this immediately, I wanted to pay cash but it was $3k more expensive.

Is that a good/decent deal?
