When deciding which optional extras to tick, bear in mind that the best deal new Honda isn't necessarily the model with lots of extras (despite what many new Honda dealers try to tell you). The fact is that most new Hondas lose money faster on the optional extras than on the Honda itself - so the extras you choose (even at the new Honda best price) doesn't necessarily offer the best value. When it comes to ex-demo Hondas or ready-built showroom new Hondas for sale at a main dealer, the specification has already been fixed and cannot be changed; so if you need a new Honda from stock, be spec-flexible. New Honda dealers tend to pre order stock they can sell easily - typically Silver, Grey or Black Hondas with few or no options at all. The best discount new Hondas are normally specified like that - ie popular colours with few options. Car finance is another consideration when choosing to pay extra for optional equipment. If you buy a new Honda on the best PCP deal or Honda leasing / contract hire package you can find, the options may ruin your saving; this is because handing the Honda back at the end loses the FULL value of the extra equipment you paid for. To avoid this potential loss, you have three possibilities: 1) select a higher Honda trim level ie Sport over an S; 2) don't order expensive options; 3) buy your new Honda on HP or with a personal loan (where you always own the Honda and the optional extras).
