The Honda's have been hard to get. Sounds like that dealer is trying to jack the price to reflect that. I dont know if that is against their franchise rules or not, but it is a sign of the times these days with lots of merchandise.
The deluxe is a fine choice and you will be very happy with it. I was going to get the model and then add accessories, but the Trail came out so I decided to wait for the Fox suspension. 3 friends have the deluxe and they love it, with varied use from ranch, pleasure, to cross country high desert. Have fun!
