Part of the decline of America through loss of independence. These days, most people want someone to tell them what to do and a doofus like Dr. Phil to reassure them that they are doing fine.
AFTER buying a car, they come to these forums and ask..." Did I get a good deal?"
And, when they do this, someone will always rain on their parade by telling them how they paid too much.
Let's see...so far, I have heard people say the new Accord looks like an Acura TL, a Lexus, A BMW, and now, a Hyundai!
" It looks like a cross between a XXX and a XXX"
I hear that every time a new design is introduced.
" Oh, I just LOVE the new Accords"
or.." What was Honda thinking...why did they mess it up?"
Go figure, this is why I pay no attention to the detractors.
Hope to see one today if Humberto passes. Even in New Orleans we are getting some thunderstorms.
My point exactly!
In post #17124 you wrote "Invoice in six months? Ah...don't think so."
That's exactly what you wrote about the latest generation of Civics in the Fall of 2005. Your were wrong then and you will find that your are again too optimistic, as any salesperson must be.
We don't sell them for invoice now. Why should we? They are great cars and not distressed merchandise.
In TN (Morristown Honda):
EX: MSRP 24495, Price 23995
EX-L NAVI: MSRP 28695, Price 27999
In GA (Conyers Honda):
EX-L: MSRP 26495, Price 27290
In GA (Mike Patton Honda):
EX: MSRP 24495, Price 24247
EX-L: MSRP 26455 (old dest charge), Price 26247
If people are reporting the price they paid, that is a good thing... If they want to know if they got a good deal, that is okay, too..

about prices paid by others and their overall
experience in dealing with the seller. I'll
share my experience after completing a purchase,
just to give back to such a great forum.
2007 LX MSRP. $21,520. Internet price:$18,563.5 (include destnation charge)
2007 SE MSRP. $22,220. Internet price:$19,196 (include destination charge)
Can anybody tell me if this is a good price? Or do you have a better quote? from which dealership? Any contact info.
If someone get better offer in DFW area please post in the Forum.....Thanks :shades:
(from 2 dealers in NJ). Very interesting.
Having missed out on deals on a Sedan (apprently),
I am beginning to consider buying a 07 Accord Coupe
for which the $2000 rebate is still in place.
I was quoted $17,679 + tax + tags
for a 07 Accord Coupe LX AT 4 cyl. I understand that
the car is not as roomy as a sedan. Comments
on the model and price/quote would be appreciated.
You will quickly forget what you paid anyway.
I'm afraid that those who waited and waitied, thinking prices would go down further have outsmarted themselves.
The selection is now down to almost nothing.
We decided to give it another shot last week. Not too many dealers have the 4 cyc in stock, nevertheless the color we wanted. S0 long story short - We got the car!
The details:
2007 Accord EXL - auto, 4 cyc
MSRP: 25,645
Sale Price: 21,300
Tax+Docs: 23,200 OTD
Dealer threw in wheel locks, mud guards, trunk tray...
Not too shabby for the "aftersale".
No regrets here - we got exactly what we wanted!
until ealier this month. So it is a case of starting late
rather than pure indecision. But in general your point is well taken. It would be a compromise between taste
and price if I get a coupe. I do appreciate your opinion.
Thanks.
My issue with Open Road was they allowed us to test drive a SOLD car!!
Good luck!
But overall the OTD (which is what counts)
still beats the best quote I got.
MSRP is $27400, internet price is $22375. This is EXL V6 Auto. color is desert mist, I like it!
I always remember the price I paid for a car and am sure everyone else does. If they get taken for a ride by a dealer the unpleasant feeling associated with the purchased car will be experienced every time they drive it or think about their car.
Now if you get a car at a good price you will always think about the positive situation with the car, while your making the monthly payments and when you go to trade the car in on your new car, by not being flipped over in it.
If I buy a car, I want to like it and not settle for something else because of price.
You remember the price you paid, but I sure don't and I think most people are like me. Buy something, and get on with life. If you got "taken for a ride", then you shouldn't have bought that car from that dealer.
Someone who really wants a 4 door sedan is going to hate that coupe every time their rear seat passengers struggle and every time they have to deal with those huge doors when they are in a tight parking space. They will quickly forget about how they saved a few lousy bucks when they bought it.
I'm terribly sorry.
But how is that Chevy Aveo treating you?
'11 GMC Sierra 1500; '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '08 Maser QP; '11 Mini Cooper S
If I can not get it at a good deal I move on to another car.
Many car dealers that have had a used car, or some new cars, on their lot over 100 days will sell it at almost zero profit to get it off the lot. They do not want stale cars on the lot. Whereas a car on the lot for only a couple of weeks they will try to maximize their profits on it.
If it's a new or used car that's been sitting for 100 days, it's probably something that's unpopular, an oddball color etc. So, perhaps you can get it for a bargain price but when you go to "flip" it, you will find that it's just as unpopular as it was before and you may find no takers.
That is, unless you give it away for a distressed price, same way you bought it!
Your right, since I got in it at a good price, I should be able to also get out of it at a good price for the next buyer.
As stated earlier a car is my transportation not my paycheck that I have to sell at a profit to feed my family.
MSRP: $23,985
Car was red tagged at: $20700 USD
I told sales person (SP) I knew about the $2,000 incentive to dealer
Upon beginning negotiation, SP said $20,700 excluded about $600 of destination charges. He offered $19,999 + $600 destination charge: $20,600. I didn't accept. He then offered to cover $400 of destination charges, so price dropped to $20,200 USD. I rejected and offered $19,999 (including dest charges). $19,999 is where we stand now. Anyone have any thoughts if this is a good deal? How much more do you think I can discount?
This is 4 cyl, 5 speed auto. Thanks for any response.
Here are the Honda models on edmunds and this will give you an idea of what the value package consists of:
http://www.edmunds.com/honda/accord/2007/index.html
This is a 2007 with 21,500 miles $16,595.
Well, I would try to get a brand new 2007 with value package. I saw one at a local dealer this morning so I know if you search you can still probably find one. The invoice of a 2007 VP new is $17,613. And people have been buying them under invoice. In my opinion to get a new one with zero miles is better than one with 21,500 miles at almost the same price.
Where is there an up to date list of Accord incentives?
I don't see any incentives for 2007 Accords listed on the Edmunds website or the Honda website.
Marketing Support
$2000 Cash to Dealer start: 09/05/2007 end: 10/31/2007 Get Dealer Pricing
Restrictions None.

There's an $800 incentive for the I4 SE. I had this information before negotiating and the salesperson confirmed it's true. It doesn't appear Honda is advertising it too much. The 2007 is a much better deal, in my opinion--that is, if you want to keep it in the long run since the resale value of the 08 will be higher in the shortrun.
Considering the demand for the I4 2008s, it doesn't seem worth paying at or about MSRP.
"There is no marketing support available at this time."
"There are no customer or dealer cash rebates or incentives available at this time."
The coupe was recently added to the Honda website, but is not at any dealerships yet.
When will coupes be on sale?
MSRP - $27,995
Invoice - $24,700
Sale Price - $24,900
Current Negotiated amount - $23,000
I went for the lease...it's a 36 month, 15k mile lease with $750 total paid out of pocket (first month's payment & fees). My trade-in (2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee) was a wash (they are offering to pay off the entire balance). My payments are $365 out the door, including my CT taxes.
Considering the loss of all incentives (except the dealer cash), I thought this was a pretty good deal.
Thoughts???
About a $10,000.00 depreciation for two years of use.
Any thoughts?
