FYI post #19939 talks about some pricing below $23,000 in March (not including dest) for an exl 4cyl with auto.
$22.528 + $635 Freight + $195 Appearance Package + TTL
Pretty sweet deal.
Another claims a price of $22,175

What I don't understand is how they came up with this OTD price of 27663 with this sale price. The difference between OTD and sale price won't even cover sales tax of 6%. What about title,registration and all the dealer fees. Are they included in the sale price? The sale price is out of line here.
your goal should be lesss than $490 monthly payment with 0 DOWN with 2.9%@60m if you are planning to finance or ~27350 OTD.
2008 Accord Sedan, EX-L, V6 w/Navi
$27,500 (incls destination, mud guards and wheel locks)
199 Processing fee
935 Taxes, tags, title
10 Online filing fee (I didn't argue about this)
$28,644 OTD
We charge 50.00.
Do you guys have a tax holiday in VA?
I tried to get to your price (19.6k for LX-P) but the dealer said that price is impossible; they even said who ever told me that price was lying. They will match it if I show them some kind of papers. Can you please send me more info?
Here is my email cuoinon777 at yahoo dot com
Thanks a lot in advance
Went back to Kelly Honda in Lynn,Ma., my local dealer. First and final offer was $21,600 +tax and doc fee w/o trade.
Offered $4100 for my "96 EX 5M. $ 17,500 w/trade. Tried to get them to throw in a moon roof sheild...anything. No go. GM said no. Would not move at all. Think $4100 was good for my 77K "96. Low but hard city miles and 5 speed manual tranny not desirable. Malibu dealer offered only $3100 + $20450 for half the car that the EX Honda is !. No way!
Decided to accept. Still $656 under invoice. Got wheel locks (but all new autos here get them), some free oil changes and free lifetime car washes. Also got the 0.9% financing.
Black on Black. Think I'll need those free car washes. Looks like a limo, drives like a Honda!
Final cost= $17,500 (w/trade) +$875 mass tax and $249 doc fee. How did I do?
Thanks all for your valuable info.
Let me see if I can try to scan the paperwork of the deal that I got. I'll scan it at work tomorrow. Then, I'll send it to you.
Thanks for all the great advice on the Honda Accord. I live in Orange County, CA where there are many Honda dealers.
I bought a new 2008 Accord, Sedan, Auto., LX-P from Hardin Honda on Memorial Day. It has 11 miles on the car.
OTD price is $21,400. No finance and no trade in.
Following is the breakdown of the price:
Price $19,618.55
Doc fee $55.00
7.75% CA Sales Tax $1,524.70 ( = 0.0775 * ($19,618.55 + $55) )
License fee $128.00
Regis./Transfer fee $65.00
CA Tire fee $8.75
---------------
OTD price $21,400.00
It seems that dealers nearby coastal cities quote a higher $ than Inland Empire cities thru internet quick quote. Following are best internet OTD offers I have received in socal:
Hardin Honda $21,400
Honda World Downey $21,400
Metro Honda - Montclair $21,400
Riverside Honda $21,733
Moss Bros $21,780
Spreen Honda $21,890
Salespersons at Hardin Honda gave me and my wife five stars service. The process took about 4 hours because it was a very busy day for them. We got free delicious In&Out burgers when we was waiting for a salesperson available.
We have been driving Honda Accord or Toyota Camry cars for the last twenty five years. All cars lasted more than 10 years and over 200K mileages except for the current Toyota Camry 1998 with over 180K mileage. I like both Accord and Camry. I bought the Honda Accord LX-P this time because it’s rated #1 by Consumer Report and other Cars magazines. The value and the look both inside and outside are better in my opinion. The Accord is bigger, a little bit more horse power and consumes the same MPG as the Camry. I wish the Accord LX-P has a softer chair with lumbar support for the driver as in the Toyota Camry LE. I also noticed the Accord’s noise level is a little bit higher. It does not bother us. The price is about $1,400 more for Accord LX-P than Camry LE in socal.
Again, thank you very much for your help.
That's the exact same price I got my LX-P for at Hardin Honda. Here's the post I posted a while back with the exact same detail: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef006d2/20455!keywords=#20455
Hardin Honda was awesome and their service was awesome also. They too give me 5 star service. For me, it just took me 1 hour and 30 min because it was last month. Also, because I came in within 30 minute of them opening that day.
I paid about $23,100 OTD for my LX-P here in NYC, and that was the best price I could find anywhere around where I live.
I am just curious, how come dealers in CA can sell the LX-P for so low? Because the invoice price for the LX-P is about $20,700.
And are you sure the LX-P does not have lumbar support? Haven't played with mine all that much. Have to check that out first thing tomorrow. :P
We don't know what your taxes or accessories are, so its hard to say.
Honda e-price = $21900.00
+$1423.50 MN sales tax (6.5%)
+$351.00 MN plates and transfer fee's
+$50.00 dealer documentation fee
=$23724.50 TOTAL DUE
EXL V-6 quote - 25198
Doc fee - 249
Filing fee - 10
OTD from dealer was 25457 financed at 2.9%
Tax and tag will be another 950 in my state which I’ll pay in cash
Total 26404
Basically, I was doing the email thing with all the local dealers (which I have had a ton of success on with the last 2 cars we have purchased) and they quoted me for the I4 instead of the V6. I confirmed through email twice that they were quoting me for EXL V6 with the price and OTD fees and they confirmed in writing... this was Saturday. Monday morning I called the internet person at the dealer and confirmed the price over the phone and told them I would be there in the afternoon. I picked out my color and test drove it. I told the salesman I was ready to talk numbers and he proceeded to take down my info, then he asked me what I was quoted by their Internet team. You should have seen the look on his face! I pulled out the printed emails and stepped him through as I confirmed the price with their Internet sales person. He verified with the manager and they went ahead and did the deal (this is when he told me what had happened on the price). I don't know how much they lost on it, but I know they didn't make anything. Do I feel bad; kind of. But, when they told me they sold 29 cars on Saturday and mine was the 21st on Monday, not so much. I'm sure they had a number of suckers in there that paid MSRP or close to it.
The guy was just trying to "handle" you , that's a common practice. The price you were quoted is clearly for EXL V6. Internet price for EXL V4 would be between 23500-24300. Internet price for EX V6 would be 23300 - 24100.
I Agree with 'pricerite' ... thats all dealer tactic. Don't feel bad.

Here are some recent quotes I've received on the same vehicle. EX-L V6.
$27,663 OTD
$27,933 OTD
&
$27,798 OTD
Still Lookin' ........
If you can do that, it would be great.
Thanks alot in advance
$23500 OTD in Santa Clara ,CA
Great deal... Can you breakdown? I assume it is for EX4 auto in which Invoice with dest shows $22,256. You got it for way below. I believe you have a higher tax rate there. Comparing costs with SOCAL's. Thanks.
Congratulations on your purchase. Where is Hardin Honda located, because they seem to be in several towns?
Thanks.
how do you negotiate for price,
go online and negotiate through email or walk in the dealership
help is appreciated as i am getting online quotes that are not even close to the prices posted here

Goodluck2U! ">
Thanks
$25,525 was the price including destination. I might have done a bit better but I had a trade involved and this dealership gave me the best value for my trade.
What would be the best option as far as extended warranty? The dealer offered me the 8/120k mile warranty for $1500. I know its cheaper to buy the same warranty online but are they exactly same? How else can they justify the $500 difference?

WHAT PRICE DO YOU SUGGEST FOR SUCH CONFIGURATION in worcester massachusetts(MA).please pardon me if i m being silly, but i dont have a choice since i am non-resident US.
An honest advice will really help, i prepared the TMV but it had no options to add so the pricing was on base model.

Great sale price! What was your OTD price? (Not including your trade-in).
following is the break down
price -> $19588
sales tax ->$ 1718
License fees ->$127
reg fees-> $64
CA tire fees-> $8.75
work 'em hard for deals - the economy sucks and they will be overloaded with inventory before long - or wait. Things are going to get worse and the deals much better.
It was great experience. We were in and out in one hour including finance application time
Thanks to all of you who contributed to this forum
I did everything via email as far as negotiations. I sent out request quotes through Honda, and direct through several dealer sites. The initial round of quotes put the offers at about 28,100-28,900 (with dest.). My final price was:
Car price: $27,350 (including dest.)
NJ State Tax (7%): $1914.50
Doc Fee: $199
NJ Tire TAx: $7.50
NJ 4 yr Reg./inspt/BS $354 (its $254 for a I4 BTW)
OTD Price: $29,825.00
(included mud guards, wheel locks, trunk tray for "free")
I thought this was pretty decent for the EXL V6 with Navi. The color is polished metal with black leather (which is what we wanted).
So- onto the dealership report. Planet Honda came in with the lowest price right off the bat-- but the people were quite scattered and I got a bad vibe (plus they have such bad ratings for customer service!). Tried to work with Paul Miller Honda and found the salesman to eventually be rude and unprofessional.
Mahwah and Sussex Honda were really great- but they couldn't get to my price.
Garden State Honda was excellent to work with (salesperson initials GB), but I ended up going with Paramus DCH because in the end they were the cheapest (their doc was $199 while GS's was $299) and they have great customer service ratings.
Although our salesman was very nice at DCH, and I made it very clear that I needed everything in writing before I came in....there was still one glitch that really made me angry. I decided to finance about 10K of the purchase because of the low apr that AHF was offering. I knew I would qualify b/c I have great credit. But after meeting w/ finance they tried to tell me that I only qualified for a 5.9% rate because the sale price of the car was "so low that we can't combine the finance offer in conjunction with it." I laughed out loud, and stood up to leave knowing that I could certainly get the same deal somewhere else. They tried to continue to explain their justification, but I said NO WAY and that if they didn't offer me the 2.9% rate I was leaving.
I won't go on and on- but about 15 minutes later they "took my deal" and offered the 2.9% rate after all-- so I bought the car. Because I was clearly displeased they gave me the mud guards, trunk tray, and wheel locks "for free." (they probably do that for everyone anyways!).
I know they are just doing their job- but it sucks to have to play those stupid games! :mad: Doing everything online and having it in writing certainly cut down the amount of BS though!
I love the car!
How did you get the price down this low? Because the last time I checked, the invoice price was around $20800.
I just purchased my LX-P in NYC for about $23,000 OTD. Your price beat mine for about $1,500. Did you have a trade in?
The invoice is $26,300, including destination.
I am seriously questioning my sanity here. Is everyone able to purchase their 2008 Accord significantly BELOW invoice? How did you talk the dealer into this?
