My earlier simple answer did not provide any details. That seemed unsatisfactory to you as you took the time to dispute it. Making the effort to dispute it led me to assume that you wanted further explanatory details. So, I provided the actual pricing from both suppliers to illustrate the difference between the two.
It easily takes less than one minute to read it, hardly a significant consumption of time, but if a person is not interested I get it.
In the future I will know not to make the assumption that you want explanatory details, as I will know that you prefer that I don't make the effort to provide them.
All good Forest, easier for both of us.
You seemed to have missed MY point too. I did, in fact, save a fair chunk of change at one time, ordering from the USA, because I did check the local Honda dealer pricing too, before I placed the order.
I think your assumption that Honda dealers here would drop their retail prices when the dollar is near par is rather pie in the sky thinking, for we all, including dealers, knew that could quickly change and go south again, which it did.
