    yes i bought the car for 19661 OTD with the 4 yrs registartion and etch, and new plates and 1.9-% financing for 3 yrs. i got the LX automatic, but they had the other trims in colors i did not like at all, (silver, green, gray). i got the beige, but you may be able to get like a blue or red now. they had CRV's EXL under 22000, elements 17000. I have to call my guy tomorrow (he is off today), and see if they still have them. try this, tell them you got the e-mail that TJ sent out with the prices on the Accord (mention the price on my accord, it should be ok). I don't think we are suppose to disclose the salesman or so, am i right host? it does not matter the salesman, they will only honor it if you have the e-mail. but again, i will call them and see if they can work a deal with you if you call them, will post you later. I had been checking this forum and other websites for the last 2 years, day by day, I did my research, and now i think i am pro. Not to say, but my price up to my knowlege and the prices i had seen here nation wide, is the best on a 2008 accord. the price was 17175 + destination 670. I am even planning to establish a part time business to help people out and charge a convinience fee to avoid them to pay thousands more (not 100% sure). But i am happy with my car.

    I just got quoted $22,250 plus tax, reg, doc. for 2009 Accord EX. Is that good deal? Should I try asking for more $ off or any accessories/incentives?

    I am not a car owner (live in NYC) yet am shopping around for my mother. Any tips from those with experience would be greatly appreciated!!

    I agree that the $300 processing fee is waaayyy too much.

    I wanted to get some input about an email deal that I am working out with a dealer in the DC Area (landmark Honda).

    Trade In: 2006 Accord V6 w/o NAV 16,500 (I have about 50K miles on it)

    New Car: 2008 Accord V6 w/NAV. Dealer agreed to price of 25,400 including:
    destination
    sunroof visor
    wheel locks
    splash guards
    door strips

    Anyone else got a deal like this in the DC area? I don't want to waste my time going there. I have about a 680 FICO score, does anyone know where that would put me in terms of financing with Honda?

    thanks much

    Hi all, I am looking for this particular trim now. What would roughly be a fair price for it in southern California? I got a few quotes from dealers that are a little above 23000 + ttl, and some dealer claim that it's only $500 over their invoice. But I thought Edmunds only listed an 09 ex sedan for 22093 as invoice, can the invoice price vary by so much for different dealers? Please help, thanks a lot :)
  • kseshadrkseshadr Member Posts: 24
    22,200 a good price? excluding freight, TTL?

    Need an answer quick...!
  • paeataapaeataa Member Posts: 12
    Does anyone know if there will be any customer incentives on 09 Accord in October??
  • marc251marc251 Member Posts: 2
    The best quote I received for the same car including freight was $22,880.

    Where is the best place to car tint in houston? Im looking for 3m tape, I dont like medico because I tried that one in my honda pilot and it interfere with my portable nav. before the tint I dont have any problem. I have 3m 20% all over on my honda civic before and I really like it, it cost me 250 in new jersey at that time.... thats why I choose 3m tape. Any suggestion will help. Thank you!!!!
  • rbell2rbell2 Member Posts: 180
    The key to not having problems with your nav from the tint is to get a ceramic based film tint. Any high quality tint shop should have it. It is a little more expensive (10-20%).

    Sorry, forgot to tell u, then ask for the internet manager, or for TJ, also, i just relaized, the price at the bottom on the metro honda is what you save off the sticker price, but is the third price, they list as follow: MRSP, invoice, their price, and what u save.

    Wish everybody good luck, and God bless you all, thanks for everything, i will continue to check, and help those who need me
  • rox2008rox2008 Member Posts: 12
    Thanks for the email!

    Regarding the price for the 2008 Accord ex-l with navigation, is that $26,588 including destination already?

    If so, do you think a dealership in another state will price honor match that price?
  • mvperez4jesusmvperez4jesus Member Posts: 231
    them i don't know, i didn't ask, but i assume for the price, i know the one at garden state honda don't include dest fee. Now, when i bought my car they had the same accord exl with nav syst. for 24400 plus dest. it was green or gray options. i guess it was goo, it might had been a v6, don't recall. but i will keep you posted if i get something else, as they keep sending me e-mails
  • kokli503kokli503 Member Posts: 1
    Just bought a new 2009 Accord Coupe EX-L, black on black for 24780 with splash guards. Price is before TTL
  • acehawkacehawk Member Posts: 22
    I think you can get a better deal. Which dealership in MD?
  • honda09honda09 Member Posts: 15
    I'm in for a 2009 auto Honda accord ex-l with navi 4 cyl. the price i have been quoted so far are:
    $26,800 including $670 destination charge +tax/fees.(dont know what does fees are)
    $26088 + $670 Destination, tax, MV fees & $199 documentation fee

    I'm still trying to figure out the fees and stuff. Can anyone tell me if i can get a better offer. I live in nj. Thanks
  • kendirrkendirr Member Posts: 8
    Is this a 2008 or 2009? I am assuming it is an automatic as well, correct? For the 2008 auto, the invoice price is $25416 (+670 dest). So you are about $700 over invoice. I would think you should be down at invoice for a leftover 2008. Plus that $199 documentation fee seems excessive.

    Better deals can certainly be had, but it comes down to how much you want to work for them and what you are comfortable with. Good luck!
  • steelblue314steelblue314 Member Posts: 25
    Let me guess, Route 22 Honda? I bought from there, and my doc fee was $199.00 On the other hand, got 08 EX-L/Nav for $25,055.00+$670 DC, $365.00 DMV (they overcharge, and DMV sent me a check for $100.00. You can get a better deal in NJ, watch RT22 Honda, they like to fluff their fees, bait & switch tatics, and they're very sneaky!
  • honda09honda09 Member Posts: 15
    Actually one is Greenwich honda in CT. and the other was Paramus honda. Did you get a v6 or 4 cyl. i would love to get the v6 but being that gas is crazy nowadays i guess 4 cyl will do. lol. when did you buy.
  • rox2008rox2008 Member Posts: 12
    I need your opinion guys!

    I was recently quoted 28,790 +TTL = 30,790

    This is for a

    2009
    V6 EX-L Sedan
    Navigation


    Is this a good deal?
  • mazda6dudemazda6dude Member Posts: 283
    Just my personal opinion. I wouldn't ever pay more than $30K for a Honda Accord. I know its a 2009 and its early in the 2009 Model Year. If you can wait it out, you can get a better deal. Auto Sales where the worst in 15 years and Honda was hit hard. You should be able to get a better deal. Regardless, the Accord is a very nice car.
  • civic95civic95 Member Posts: 5
    I just purchased an 08 4-dr EXL w/nav at DCH Academy in Old Bridge, NJ. Details:

    24,954 selling price (w/special Honda financing that expired 9/30/08)
    635 destination
    1,791 tax
    199 doc fee
    254 DMV
    7.50 tire tax
    27,840.73 out-the-door price

    The price w/o the special Honda financing was $24,800. I think I could have gotten a better deal on a silver model, which was in abundance all over the NY/NJ area. However, I wanted the black/black combination. There were only a couple available and I would have had to travel a distance to save a few bucks. Also, the people at DCH were pretty decent. I did the purchase over the internet and simply showed up to sign the papers.
  • civic95civic95 Member Posts: 5
    I forgot to mention that the 08 EXL in the previous post is a 4 cylinder.
  • civic95civic95 Member Posts: 5
    I paid 24,954 plus 635 delivery for 08 4dr, 4cyl EXL w/nav(w/special Honda financing). Additional details in post 22081.
  • steelblue314steelblue314 Member Posts: 25
    Yea, gas prices are insane. Which is why I traded a 2007 Dodge Nitro 6cyl, for my 4cyl Accord. I hear good things about Parumus.
  • epibooepiboo Member Posts: 4
    Which dealer did you purchase you car? Is the drive out price $1250 under invoice or $1250 under invoice plus tax? Thanks.
  • honda09honda09 Member Posts: 15
    I'm wondering if anyone know the formula that they use when giving a quote for a car. I would assume it would be :
    Price of the car + destination charge + tax and the they add all the other fees after taxes. so the other fees are not taxed also..
    The breakdown that Greenwich Ct gave me for the 2009 accord ex-l with navi 4 cyl. is :
    $26,800 Car
    $179 CT Conveyance (What dealer's office receives in order to process your paperwork)
    $249 CT Vin Etch (as per CT Public Act 97-236 sec 13)
    $ NJ Sales Tax @ ?%
    $400 New Plates/NJ Registration (Estimate for 4Yr NJ registration)

    but i feel as though its too high what do u all think.
  • mikefm58mikefm58 Member Posts: 2,882
    The break down is accurate, but I'm in Florida, home of the $699 "dealer fee". I can't answer for the CT fees, whether they are legit or not in your state. But here in Florida VIN etch is almost 100% dealer padded profit and I'd never buy a vehicle with that. In my state the fees are added before tax. The only things after tax are the state fees for registration.
  • mikeatschallermikeatschaller Member Posts: 3
    might want to give Theresa at lia honda in enfield ct a call. She is there internet manager and when I bought my 08 she was the best price in the state.
  • hondaneedhondaneed Member Posts: 14
    I would think you can go lower. I would shoot for $27,500.
  • mplshondadlrmplshondadlr Member Posts: 409
    (2009 Accord EXL V6 Navi)..."I would shoot for $27,500"

    LOL! Wow, so you think two months into the 2009 model year it should be bought at $1000.00 under invoice. Ohh man, thanks for the laugh!

    On the other hand, $28700.00 +/- is right around invoice. Invoice is a good value for a two month old 2009. Dont forget Honda is offering 1.9% (24-36 months) or 3.9% (37-60 months). Remember, Accord sales are up 3.8% YTD from last year, hardly a reason to discount them to net zero profit. And, even though Pilots, Ridgelines and Odyssey sales are way down, Honda motors overall is up almost a full 1% over last year (0.8%). How many other brands can say that?
  • hondaneedhondaneed Member Posts: 14
    Isn't there a holdback for the dealer of $500 right now. And, the V6 EX-L w/ Navi are not selling as well as the EX 4 and LX 4.

    Also, a cash deal would eliminate the financing.
  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    Understand that this is a business, and it is perfectly normal for a dealer to make a decent profit on a worthy vehicle. You really shouldn't have the idea that you deserve holdback also.

    I want a 2008 Accord Coupe EX-L V6 in the Wash DC area, what's the lowest I can expect to pay for it?
  • rox2008rox2008 Member Posts: 12
    As of 10/1/08, they are offering 1.9% 24-36 months & 3.9% 37-60 months. This expires 11/3/08 but im pretty sure they will do this every month to boost their sales up.
  • kbakba Member Posts: 1
    Hi- if possible , could you post the name of the tampa dealer you got your 2009 EX from-- thank you,kba
  • mplshondadlrmplshondadlr Member Posts: 409
    No. There is $500.00 dealer cash on the remaining 2008's. Which at my dealership is only on sedan and three coupes.
  • howmuchyoupayhowmuchyoupay Member Posts: 12
    According to our research, 09 Accord V6 EXL sedan could be had for around 25k~25.5k before TTL.

    So yes, 1k below invoice for a new 09 Accord is doable.
  • ljctxljctx Member Posts: 14
    When you say 'research", could you be more specific? Is this a regional price? How are prices in North Texas running? Where can we get reliable model specific sales numbers by area? I will be buying within the next two weeks.
  • honda00honda00 Member Posts: 29
    I have a quick question on what are reasonable(required) fees to pay on top of the quoted price of the car.

    Let say you agree with dealer to pay invoice plus destination fee.

    One example(NJ resident) I read on this board was as follows:

    Invoice Price +
    Taxes +
    199.00+
    268.00+

    The $199 and $268 were quoted by almost every dealer so I assume those may have been DMV fees and dealer prep fee? What fees should you pay after you agree on price?

    I don't want to agree to invoice and then get screwed with last seconds add ons. Thanks in advance.
  • rox2008rox2008 Member Posts: 12
    You are on the right track.

    Most of the time, the dealer will quote you with destination unless they are dishonest and try hassling you.

    Also, do your part and request a quote with the destination included.

    Invoice is the supposed price that the dealer purchases the unit from the manufacturer, so you always strive to get it close or lower than invoice.

    Regarding that example:

    Quote (their offer + destination)
    +
    TTL (Tax+199+268)
    =
    OutTheDoor Price a.k.a Driveout Price

    Hope this helps

    I got an OTD price of 28555.49 for the accord ex-l 4 cyl with navi 2009..this includes the destination charge, tax, mv fees, doc fees and tire fee... is that a good price. this place is in nj and actually i have a question is the etch vin required for nj? like does it lower your insurance?
  • steebiesteebie Member Posts: 8
    There is a 1.9% financing rate for Accords up to 36 months, and 3.9% up to 60 months.

    Just purchased my Accord XL-V6 with Nav, and $1,785 in additonal options for $30,600, where the MSRP was $33,100, or $2,500 under MSRP. Considering the 1.9% financing, I went for 36 months.

    Steve
  • steebiesteebie Member Posts: 8
    See my post response on price I paid for XL V6. I got $2,500 of MSRP. NOt sure its the best deal out there, but you can determine by the discount off MSRP you got.

    Steebie
  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    For those who are new to Accord trim levels, I believe the vehicle steebie is referring to is an "EX-L" V6.

  • mplshondadlrmplshondadlr Member Posts: 409
    Your selling price with destination charge is about $200.00 under invoice. Sounds like a good deal to me.

    As for window etching, I wouldn't do it.
