The deal on the 2008 V6 coupe someone got on here was sweeeeet! thought.. (not hatin on him)
Anyways, 700 or so below invoice on an 09 HONDA is a no brainer
It does get old sometimes and some customers just go too far.
But let me ask you about charging "sticker price" since you seem to imply there is something wrong with that. I've asked this question several times in the past and I've never received much of an answer.
Suppose you decided to sell your five year old car. It's in great shape and you have spent time and money making it as presentable as possible.
You do your research and you feel that you would be happy to get, say, 12,000 for it. Knowing how people love to haggle on cars, you advertise it for 13,500 which is close to retail book. You figure if you had to, you could drop your price by 1000-1500 and still be content with the deal.
You run an ad and recieve several calls. The first person to show up just happens to love the car and says " I'll take it, here is your 13,500"
What would you do?
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Even if you buy your car out of state, you will still have to pay the 6% MD sales tax when you go to register the car at the MVA...just an FYI.
It ain't fuel prices, it's the economy, car sales across all lines are way down.
$20,000 flat plus taxes and tag being transferred from my old car.
Invoice w/ destination charges would been $21,126.
I think I did OK.
I visited the same dealer ten days ago and was told "just under $24k" if I bought before the end of the month. Today, they said they could take off an additional $500. From what I've seen on this site, $23.5 sounds pretty decent.
My leased (Nissan) car isn't due back until mid-February (I have one more payment left to make - $301), so I'm thinking of making a counter offer of $23,200 plus free wheel locks, window tinting, and door guards. Any other negotiating suggestions?
Thanks in advance...
I took it to the dealer. I was told that it is a known problem since the car was sitting there for a long time and the tires get flat spots. I will need to drive 1k miles for it to get better. Balancing it won't make it better. I really doubt it. I am going to ask them to change the tires today.
Any idea if I should be able to get a 2009 LX with manual transmission for under 19,000 on the East Coast this week? I was hoping to hear about deals resulting from the current economy and end of year.
Thank you very much.
I did a mistake at the end, I agreed to buy Honda Care Ext Warranty [6/72000] for about $900 from dealer, since he aid this is the only time I could add the cost to teh finance amount...but when i got home, I found same warranty for about $550 on Internet or for th3 same amount $900 I could get [7Yr/120K]. I am going to go back and cancel with them. but i am very pleased with car price.
sales person also told me since I noticed many 2009 cars on lot, Honda will stop production for first 3 months in 2009. not sure if that's true though.
Finally, I would like thank all of you for your help and inputs. Happy New Year
EX-L, Polished Metal Metallic, Black Interior, few dealer goodies (floor mats, mud guards, stripes, wheel lock).
Base: $22,100
Freight: 670
Coupon: -300
Purchase Price: 22,470
VA Tax: 686+27
Processing Fee: 399
OTD: 23,631
The dealer is based in Woodbridge, VA and the one of the guys there was himself surprised at this price. I worked with an internet "liaison" right from the very beginning and she was great. Barely any haggling. She even emailed me the $300 coupon. And, to top all this, I took the 1.9%/3Yr financing.
Both, the liaison and the sales agent were great and helped making the buying process easier.
Anyway, good luck in getting the best price. Happy New Year!!
I've emailed most of the dealerships in the baltimore area for quotes on a 09 EX automatic coupe. The best quote I've received was for:
$20,399 base with wheel locks and splash guards included.
$1224 MD tax(6%)
$670 Freight
$222 Tags
$99 Dealer Processing fee
$22,614 OTD
Is this a good deal? Anyone else get anything similar or better for an ex coupe automatic? Thanks!
for 25988
+2176 NYC tax
+12.50 NYS waste tire fee
+210 new plates and NYS Inspection
Total 28386.5
remember - it is 09 EX-L V6, it is $110 above invoice but without destination fee.
2009 Accord Sedan, Black/Black (ooooh it looks sharp!) EX-L 4 cyl. auto with Navi: $25,300.00.
Adds: Trunk mat, all weather floor mats, splash guards, wind deflector, wheel locks and lifetime guaranteed window tint: $514.00.
In Arkansas we pay sales tax when the car is registered, it's not collected through the dealer. So my OTD price was $25,814.00
Hope this helps. Thanks and Happy New Year!
it breaks down to following (according to dealer's paper):
Purchase Price: 24770,75 (including destination fee)
Wish you all have a happy new year!
As you said "Very good deal..the best Iv seen is $27755 OTD for 09 V6 EXL Navi ".
If you don't mind, please break down the price so I can talk to the dealer.
Thanks again, Happy New Year!
Just got home from buying a new 09 EX-L V6. No navigation. I got the splash guards installed in the deal. I actually passed up my very best offer to buy local. I could've saved $100 more dollars if I would've drove 40 minutes one way, but I would rather buy in town than drive out of town to save $100. Anyway, hope this helps. Here's the breakdown.
Car Price: $25,100
Tax: 3%: $753 (North Carolina)
Fees: $299 + $99 + $69 (not sure what the fees are called exactly)
Total Out the Door: $26,320 They also threw in a $100 gift card to Target. There's always something to buy at Target so I really consider this an extra $100 off the car in a way.
There might be better deals out there, but I am satisfied and I was able to keep my business local. Hope this helps.
My out the door price for an 09 EX-L V6 without NAV was 26,320. I also got the splash guards installed for that price. They also threw in a $100 gift card to Target. So I look at that as a $100 bill in a way. Hope this helps.
Lesson learned - We purchased the gap coverage and honda care extended warranty, as we were told we can cancel within 30 days. I hadn't thought to research them ahead of time, but are now planning to cancel them after doing some more research online and finding the warranty for more than a $1000 less ($755 online versus ~$1950 through dealer). The warranty was interesting in that they said they would refund the warranty cost if we had no claims on it. We should be able to get our money back, but because we financed it the refund will go towards the loan - our monthly payments will stay the same but we'll pay off the loan quicker.
I learned alot from this forum. Thank you!
The best deals I have received via e-mail and validated via phone conversations yesterday are from Criswell. The only other additions are for $670 freight and $100 dealer prep/admin fee:
2009 LX-P $19,000
2009 EX $20,500
2009 EX-L w/ Nav I4 $24,300
2009 EX-L w/ Nav V6 $26,400
I wanted to purchase from Leesburg because they are closer, but he wouldn't budge off his price saying he needed to make 'some' money on the deal. I figured if one dealer could do it, shouldn't another? I have an appointment to purchase at that price tomorrow (Jan 2nd) with Criswell. I will decide between the EX-L w/ Nav models once I drive them both again.
Any suggestions or comments on the I4 vs V6? Price vs. performance?
Thanks...
Did your price from Criswell for the EX-LV 6 with Nav include the 3% VA state tax? I ask becuase I am looking for a EX LV6 as well.
thanks in advance for the follow-up.
Let me know if anyone has any better pricing. I still can't believe Leesburg wouldn't match; a little bummed, but I guess I'll purchase from Criswell tomorrow.
So, it might be worth it to call the local dealership one last time. Good luck with your purchase!
Does anyone know of how I could figure out what dealership does have it? Ideally, i'd like to see/drive before i sign for it.
Also, I'd like to see a Prices Paid discussion on this exact car. Most discussions are for the e xl w/out navi or the e xl v6 with navi, neither is the one i want. THANKS!
Had 2 internet quotes for 24,400 from local dealerships. Sis is happy. Too bad we couldn't get there before the end of business 12/31/08 as the quote was $23,900 otd, everything included. It was really too late by the time we got the info and she really had not decided between the Altima and the Accord, nor if she was ready to buy NOW until she saw the Accord and drove it today. Still a good deal though....everyone is happy. If we had acted earlier in December and had a little more time to shop around, we might have squeezed a few more nickels and found someone to match the original price (or better) but we had time constraints with work schedules and incentives about to expire in a few days. I was very pleased with the staff at Breakaway Honda. Hope this helps someone in the Carolinas and Ga region....
This is my first real world experience with going through the internet department and I must say that it is certainly the way to go for a quick no hassle experience.
Happy New Year!
Would you mind sharing the dealership name? I would actually be willing to drive down to Baltimore for that price. It's a good deal. Thanks.
I got a quote from Ourisman Honda in Bethesda, MD and I am still negotiating the best deal. Here is the quote:
2009 Honda Accord EXL V6 Navigation Sedan
Selling Price: $25995.00
Add:
$100 Processing Fee (Virginia Dealers charge $289-$399 or more)
$670 Destination
Sales Tax (Maryland is 6%, D.C. is 6% or 7%, and Virginia is 4%)
*Virginia Dealers charge 3.20% if you are a Virginia resident
Tags, Title and Registration
OTD price is $28,610.40 for MD
Good Luck and post the break down price you got.
Happy New Year!
BTW, the red color on the 4 door sedan is more burgundy than "cherry" red. (basque red pearl) The 2 door coupe red is more like fire engine red. (san marino red) Two entirely different colors!
Happy New Year!
My car was factory ordered right off of the truck and the dealer did not require me to pay for any extra dealer add ons. One dealer tried to tell me that I could not get a car as it comes from the factory. I would have to take a car in stock either from that dealer or have him get one in my color from another dealer, and since dealers automatically add extra stuff such as pin stripes, mud flaps, door edge guards, etc. I would have to pay for them. I told that dealer to take a hike and went to another one in the Baltimore Area and got exactly what I wanted w/o any dealer add ons. That dealer was Anderson Honda in Baltimore. An honest dealer from whom I would buy another car in a minute. It is nice to know there are come class dealers out there.
In the car market today I believe that you should be able to get a an 09 Honda Accord for about $500 below dealer invoice or perhaps lower. Also I was able to get the extended 84 month 120,000 mile non-deductible warranty for $1099. The list price of this is usually $1999.
The car market is dead now. If you are in the market for a new car there are all sorts of deals out there. Don't take the first offer unless you have done your homework and know what the possible prices are.
Is that the Honda backed warranty or one of those 3rd part after market ones?
I spoke to five other Honda dealers and none could touch this deal. One sales guy told me that the Internet Sales people get a $50 flat fee commission for each car they sell, so maybe they have more room to discount versus the traditional showroom salesperson whose commission is based on the price of the car.
Base price: $21,800 (she said it was $22,850 minus $750 rebate minus $300 coupon, neither of which I had to bring in or fill out. According to Edmunds, dealer invoice is $23,780, but we all know that's a bit of fiction). Dealer appearance package (at no extra charge) included splash guards, wheel locks, pin stripe, door edge guard, which is the most complete dealer package I found in the DC area.
Freight: $670 (all the Honda dealers I checked with around here charge the same amount)
Side moldings: $268
"Total price of vehicle": $22,738
VA taxes: $721.40
Processing: $399
Tags: $48.75
OTD: $23,907.15
We got the 1.9% Honda finance deal for 36 months.
This is exactly the same deal (and from the same dealer) as hac09 posted on 12/29/08 at 6:48pm, except I added the side moldings. And I'll concur with his assessment of the dealer: the Internet Sales person was super nice, no BS, and I also spoke to her manager and a couple of her colleagues and they were all very professional. This morning, the transaction took a little over two hours, only because they didn't have the color I wanted and they had to go get the car from another dealer about forty minutes away. Otherwise we would have been done in a little more than an hour.
