*2008 Honda Accord
*EX-L, 4 cyl, w/NAV, coming in w/ splash guard, carpet floor mat, chrome pipe tip, cargo net
*Black/Ivory, this color combo is very hard to find, particularly with NAV
*Paid $25,800 + $275 doc fee + tax
I emailed all Honda dealers in Cincinnati and Dayton areas, and most dealers came back with similar price (within $400 range from each other). But the color combination is a tough find. I sealed the deal with Jeff Wyler Honda. Their internet department is quick on response, easy on negotiation and very professional. Their offered price is the lowest in Cincinnati and they allowed me to test drive the car to work for one day. They actually went out of state to locate the specific car for me. Great buying experience.
Correct, but the picture was not from the accessory photos but rather a photo of a standard EX-L with Ivory leather.
Most dealersfees are $400 - $600 as I got a quote from every single one. I believe this is a good price, but I just wanted to double check to feel more comfortable. Im getting polished metal and it just arrived on the truck today.
I'm trading in an 04' LX coupe with 64K miles. First they offered $9,000 and I got them to go up to my payoff of $9,861 so I dont owe anything. I was also considering an Altima, but the Nissan dealer would only give me $8,500
Thanks for the help. I hope to get the paperwork done tomorrow and pickup on Saturday.

equalizer7,
Sorry for late reply
Here are few SoCal dealers willing to give me that price ($19694 or under):
-Hardin Honda in Anaheim
-Moss Bros Honda in Moreno valley
-Spreen Honda in Loma Linda.
If you need more help/detail shoot me an email (I’ll display my email for few days) since the forum rule I can’t post:
“You may include the dealership name, city and state in your post. Please do not post names of salespeople, telephone numbers, email addresses, or other contact information”
Many thanks,
mstylady
What didn't you like about your '06? I drove the '08, great ride, beautiful exterior and interior; too many buttons on the console for my liking would be my only complaint aside from the fact you can only get a stick in the coupe or get a 4 cylinder. How was your mileage on the '06?
I am taking the plunge!
Sale tax in Pittsburgh PA is 7%. Can you tell me what is the invoice on yours? How come you only pay $55 for doc fee and other pay $400 - $600? These fees are supposed to be standard right?
Purchased New EX-L 4 cyl. Very impressed with quality, ride and workmanship.
Toatal price paid: $24,250
Included: Deck Lid Spoiler,pinstripe,wheel locks,paint and interior protection,nitrogen and mud guards and trunk tray.
Best internet invoice was $23,950 w/o any add ons.Not sure if they would actually sell the car w/o the ons as they obviously want to get x-tra profit.The process was painful at times but worked out in the end.Got the color/combo I wanted. Hope info. helps.
($22, 750+$55doc) * 1.0825 + $38 electronic filing fee + $2xx DMV fee = ~$24,940.
Our tax rate is 8.25%.
I have already wrote my buying experience in WA state. In WA states, most of the Auto dealers on east side are thiefs. They are sitting here to rip people off. Don't know why:(
Bellevue Honda, was biggest AH. same as Hinshaw Honda in Auburn. I don't know what they are thinking. Hinshaw Honda's sales manager Rob was big AH & Jerk. He was telling me best price is on sticker. I was laughing at his face. There are 100's of Honda dealers & they are selling the same car. Come on..get some %%.
Renton Honda match my price (which I got out of state) was $300 less than invoice without any games. Today I got refund check of $137.xx which came back with my license plates. They charged me originally $214 & today refunded me title fees of $137.xx. They could have kept the money but they gave me back:) I appreciate their act of honesty.
So my Total OTD price for Auto V4 EX-L with Nav. is $285xx.xx which includes TTL. My next Pilot is coming from them.
They are charging you that fee on behalf of the government and no, they can not keep the overcharge. They are required to return it to you. The dealers always estimate a little higher on the DMV fees to cover themselves, better to return to you the over-charge than coming after you hoping you will pay the shortage.

Only two dealers responded, one for the price above and another for 26601. One dealer that I have bought 3 Honda's from in the last 6 years, didn't want to give me a quote but wanted to string me along. The other dealer which had the car in stock didn't give me a quote. A friend of mine test drove the car from this dealer, who indicated that they wouldn't take less than the sticker.
I was looking for polished metallic w/gray interior but settled for my second choice of Black on Black. I had to wait a few days for them to get the car but it was worth it.
Very fun to drive and have no complaints so far.

Straight sale, no trade. Piazza honda/acura in Reading, Pa. Really nice car buying experience. No pressure for add-ons or other B.S.
I thought I got a great deal, but kguenth1: Your base sales price of $22,175 beat me by $250!!
Invoice according to Carsdirect is $23,428 excluding freight. So, it appears that my dealer gave me a flat $900 below invoice. However, kguenth1 got another $250 off of that price!!
I was able to knock the appearance package down from $595 to $195, but I'm still a bit miffed, because the only thing that I appear to have gotten from that are front and rear mud flaps and a plastic licence plate frame that has the dealer's name on it. Oh, and the dealer said that a full tank of gas is part of the appearance package. considering that mud guards are $70 online and tank of gas is about $60, I figure I paid about $65 in labor to put those guards on. Would have thought that door edge guards, wheel locks and pinstripes would have been in order, but oh well. Glad I didn't pay a full $595 for $70 mud guards. Besides, isn't a full tank a gas something every honda comes with anyways?
Love the new Accord and while it may have road noise, so did my 2005 Odyssey and my 2007 CRV. It's a Honda, and it's what I've come to accept. Otherwise, the Accord is fantastic. Love the XM radio and how easy it is to change channels with the large selector knob. There may be alot of buttons on the dash, but they do seem to be fairly intuitive. Also love the 6 disc changer with MP3 capability, but I can't seem to get it to shuffle songs amongst the 6 discs. It will only let you shuffle from a single disc at a time. oh well, can't have everything I guess.
Any other deals anyone's got on a 4cyl EX-L Sedan (without nav)? Did I get a good deal?

What say guys? Howz the deal?
I am looking to purchase a 2008 Honda Accord EX-L 2-DR Coupe. Automatic Transmission/4Cylinder in the Houston area. I have seen quite a few posts in the forum, saying that they are getting different 2008 Accords at invoice, or below invoice between 400-1000 below invoice. I wanted to know if this was more common for Sedans, or if this is the case for coupes as well?? The lowest price I have been able to get so far is 1000 OVER invoice on the car, so I wanted to see what the market is! Can this coupe atleast be had at invoice??
MSRP: 26,595 including Destination charge
INVOICE: 24,193 including Destination charge.
Let me know what a good price to shoot for will be, on the coupe!
Thanks for all of your help!
I think this is a very good deal. I copied this deal and sent to my local dealer in Pittsburgh PA. and they said they can not lose $. The best they can do is $23762( including destination charges). Your deal is $22810. That is $920 less than what they offered me. For that $ do you think it's worth to go to your dealer? lol . Can you give more info on your dealer?
Thanks
Anyone knows whoever is in market for used Honda van, please let them know. Thanks

I question some of the prices I have seen on Coupes. I verified invoice on my car not only by seeing the Honda invoice, but further called a good friend who is Manager at a multi-line dealership , including Honda to verify my invoice. My friend is in CA, and indicated I could not buy it any cheaper from them, than the deal I made locally.
If anyone is paying less than invoice on a Coupe..way to go. I would love to see your purchase agreement and know your skills.
As for pricing, buying at invoice should be your target price, if you can do better, again my hat off to you as well.
I have found many times someone will show an invoice or below invoice price on the car, then get hammered with high Doc fees and add-on's. So in the end it was not a good deal. Doc fees and add-on's are profit to the dealership in most states unless you live in a state where there is a cap on Doc fees. The dealership will make a profit at invoice with holdback and possibly volume of sales incentives, but doubtful they will ever lose money to sell you a car.
Shop around, talk to several dealerships then make your best deal and enjoy the car. I love mine!
OH!! I stand corrected, there is situation where the dealer could show a lower than invoice price. That would be to steal a trade-in. If the dealer can steal your trade they will make far more on reselling your trade than on the new car deal. 99.9% of the time if a trade is involved , that is where the dealer sees profit.
I had no trade in my deal.
I recently bought a 08 Civic LX for about $18K OTD, the MPG is about 40 @ 55 mile/hour. It is the car for my commuting.
I have to say Honda makes the most popular yet fuel efficient cars. Enough said, no other brand can compete! :P
OTD $28,450
Rock Honda in Fontana
PM me for the salesman, he's GREAT!
They beat down Norm Reeves Honda without a question, I got a free pro pack in it too by accident, the shop forgot to take it off when they were prepping it.
Love this car, best value for the money by far and is extremely well built.
"The selling price of the 2008 Honda Accord EXL Manual Sedan is $25,695. If we can do business before the close of business today, Monday, March 31, 2008 the starting point of our conversation will be $22,340."
OTD I'm figuring $24,300
Also got an offer of $25,784 2007 EX-L V6 6-Speed.
Thoughts on both offers?

THanks for the info. I will try that.
Plus, you get to pay for another year of registration fees even though you only have the vehicle for 3 months in the final year.
It would be easier to understand if it's good if you know how they calculated the payment. What is the capitalized cost and the money factor?
Does the vehicle have the optional automatic transmission?
Are you sure you are only going to drive 10,000 miles per year or less the entire term of the lease?
