The Honda U.S. website site lists the MSRP and $190 destination charge. I'm happy to pay the $190 but my dealer quoted "freight and set up" for an amount several times that $190, not to mention an arbitrary "documentation" fee. Combined, these fees totaled nearly $1000. Normally, dealers are willing to negotiate their fees to close a sale, but not when specific models are in short supply and/or high demand. I can wait.
My DLX sat on the Honda dealer's lot for over a month and the riding season was coming to a close. I paid hundreds less than his asking price and didn't pay a cent for additional "set up" or "documentation" fees. It was a win-win for both sides.
