Stopped at the local Honda dealer here in Las Cruces, NM to check out the 2009 Accords, this will be our 3rd one. Anyways the salesman almost fell over when i asked when they would have 0% financing. He said Honda was number one in sales right now and they would not be lowering their rates...seems like what I have been reading, all manufacturers have been losing sales. Any insights on the rates to come?
I only shopped for a couple months for my 09 Accord, but the best I saw was 1.9% APR from Honda for 36 months. A Toyota salesman told me that Honda and Toyota seem to alternate between financing and leasing offers, so in December, when I was looking at the Accord and Camry, Honda had the 1.9% and Toyota had the killer leases. Now it's January, and Honda has the lease deals, while Toyota has the better financing offer. And I believe that these deals are usually regional, not national, so a deal you see advertised in one part of the country (or posted here) may not be available in your area.
"Sure, prices may have gone up, but who pays the full msrp anyway?"
While your statement is true, higher MSRP's equal higer invoice and higher net-net cost, which in turn, effects a higher consumer price in the end. Grant it, it may just be a couple of hundred but that is still a couple of hundred.
I am still trying to figure out why Honda raised the prices of the 2009's over the 2008's and then just a few months later they raised the prices again. I am stumped for an answer :mad: :confuse: :mad:
I will be picking up my latest Accord in the next 2 days. It is an LX-P sedan in Royal Blue. My price from my local dealership was 20,362. Fees are $304. Of course they tried to get me to buy the paint sealant and fabric protection as well as LoJack and other add-ons. I purchased my previous Accord there and had most of the servicing done there as well.
Hold tight for a couple of days. I've heard from two dealerships here in Arizona that the rates are going back down to 2.9 in February. I've already received a flyer in the mail to that effect as well.
I picked up my shiny new 09 Accord LX-P last night. The salesman went through his checklist as usual pointing out everything. I received a coupon for a free oil change. I noticed today that the car also has wheel locks on it. They must have added them for free as well since it wasn't on my invoice. Overall a good buying experience. Now I just have to wait until spring to wash and wax it. Does anyone know how the decklid spoiler looks on the sedan?
>>Does anyone know how the decklid spoiler looks on the sedan? <<
The dealer where I bought my EX-L had one on the showroom floor with the decklid spoiler. I wasn't impressed - OK but not great. IMHO the wing spoiler looks better, but neither is worth the $$.
Its certainly a matter of opinion but, I had a 2004 and a 2007 selling my 2004 the curved rear end on the new Accords was a deal breaker for me. I thought butt ugly but I really like my accord. The decklid spoiler made it palitable for me covering the ugly butt.
I wanted to thank everyone on this board for all the great information they have shared. It allowed me to negotiate a great deal on an 09 Accord EX-L. Got the dealer down to 22.5, plus about $300 in fees, plus 8.25% tax for OTD price of $24.6. Bay Area taxes are a killer!
Only thing that surprised me, and I didn't research going into the negotiation, was the Honda Care warranty offer which I passed on.
All in all a stressful two weeks of email exchanges with dealers but ended with a great outcome, love my new car. And I feel good about the price which is important.
I'm shopping for a new 09 Honda Accord Coupe, and wondered if anyone was having difficulty in getting their prospective dealer to give up this market support now being offered from Honda? I'm attempting to purchase at what is commonly referred to as "triple-net", Invoice minus holdback minus any incentives...such as the $750 being offered now.
I think it would be rather hard to get a dealer to go net-net on an Accord coupe right now. The coupe numbers are limited and they still have a good bit of demand. Besides, as the times get tight for consumers they too, are tight for dealers. As a result they need to stretch every dollar and not lose money on a deal.
However, I would guess that getting invoice minus the $750.00 minus a couple of hundred is a more reasonable goal. Just my opinion
Received an internet quote for $23,250, appears to include destination charge. Is this a decent deal? I would like to lease it, but aware that sales price is still very important.
So I had an 06 Accord Sedan and was going to keep it until the new look came out in 08. I looked around for the best price in the Philadelphia area the best price I could find on the fully loaded 09 coupe was $27,192! So I took it and I don't regret it for a second. This car is hot! I absolutely love everything about it.
Has anyone else found a better deal? I went to Sussman Honda in Abington, PA. But you have to ask for Maria or Yvette in Internet Sales. Maria is the manager and she's phenomenal. Just tell her you want the Joel Deal. I got the Alabaster Silver coupe fully loaded! If you're looking for something else, she'll get it for you. She found mine in a day and last Friday I drove it away.

It was Anderson Honda in Palo Alto, but I can't imagine they were happy giving me that price. After a few rounds I said I'd buy the car if they gave it to me for 23K, then their marketing dept sent out a end of month email promo for $500 off any agreed upon price and they honored it, so I got it for 22.5. Most the dealers in the Bay Area were willing to go to low 23's. I think PA Honda hoped to make some money from the finance team getting me to buy Honda Care etc.
Also, the car had wheel locks and I wasn't going to buy them, when I asked if they'd leave them on for free if I gave them a 5 star review on yelp.com they implied I was being greedy, I didn't push it and they kept the locks. And I have yet to decide how many stars to give them on yelp, I felt the pitch on Honda Care was dishonest since they said I couldn't buy it ever if I turned it down for $1,900!

Yes, there was a trade involved (my 06 accord ex-l sedan w/ navi) which was paid off in full. The $27192 price I mentioned is what I paid OTD (out the door). It's a fantastic price considering that invoice price for the car (an EX-L coupe V-6 with Navi) is $28200.
I am looking to buy a 1 year old 2008 Accord EXL V6 w/ Navi (Sedan). I have seen some listed online for ~$23-24k + TTL with around 15,000 miles.
Given the poor economy and bad automotive market, I have offered lowball offers of $20k then $21k (OTD price)...got rejected. What do you think should be the final, best out the door price? Also, how about if it is a "Certified Used Honda"?
I have seen some posted the 2009 Accord EXL V6 w/o Navi (Sedan) for $25,000 included destination charge + TTL. I got the same quotes from 2 dealers (out of 10 dealers) in Southern California. Can anybody get a lower price? I think I wait until end of March or when the dealers and Honda manufacturer start to feel the pressure harder since most of them try to sell me at the MSRP price or above invoice price.

What are you talking about? MSRP is $29375.00, invoice is $26584.00 and factory to dealer cash on V6's is $1000.00. You're no where near MSRP, or invoice for that matter. You're well below MSRP and invoice. In fact at $25K you're well in to the hold back. :confuse:
this board is getting fun and exicting, since there are so many dealers and salesman are trying to manipulating the price or bias toward high price by posting high price. Last year I could get $25,000 OTD, now buyers have to pay $25,000 +TTL. If so, hey dealers and manufacturer, why did you jack up the price? Hey, postmasters, please change this forum title to "Seller pricing and sale experiences" to match with momentum here. Thank you.
I am in the market for a similar car. The prices last year were for the outgoing body style, not for the new one. If you can get the same deal as last year then please do post as I dont mind having the car shipped to me from that dealer.
Got any evidence of dealers on this site posing as customers? I think all of our dealers are pretty upfront about who they are...
If you have reason to think otherwise, drop me an e-mail with a link to the post.. We don't look kindly on posers... or poseurs.. But, you'll have to show me.
Beautyt, mplshondadlr is correct. You won't get a better dealer by waiting - if what you are stating is true about your quote, it's one of the best prices seen on this board for the model you're seeking.
My new Accord EX-L w/nav (4cyl) has an MSRP of 29275. The TMV is 26742. I got mine for 26193. Also, I have saved almost 400 over dealer price by buying an xtd warranty online. My dealer is in Indy.
FYI - I checked out Edmund's TMV for an 09 Accord EXL V6 non-Nav, and the price it gave was $24,223, incl dest for my zipcode. So depending on where you live, you can get a better deal than $25,000. Check it out. BTW, this is below invoice and I assume it includes most, if not all the holdback too. It's can't better than this unless Honda increases the current dealer cash incentive of $1,500, again, according to Edmund's.
I am interested in buying a new accord coupe EX-L in the philadelphia area.. what is the best price possible on this car? any suggestions to bargain with the dealers? Also, anyone know any good dealerships in this area? Thanks!
Ok, I know the auto industry is hurting. So I'm a shocked at my problem. My wife wants a 2009 Honda Accord EX-L with a manual transmission (4 cyl) in white with tan leather interior. Honda offers this car, a local dealer says they can't find one. They searched beyond new england and said they found one on the ground in Florida. 3 weeks later no car. Today they are telling me the car hasn't been build yet. It's going to be April before we see this car. I sold my wifes car on their word it would be 3-4 weeks. Not they are talking two more months. I want to leave but the price is tough to pass up.
The sticker price: $26,125 ($25,455 base price plus $670 destination)
The dealer invoice: $23,747 ($23,077 base invoice plus $670 destination)
Less dealer hold back: $509
Dealer cost: $23,238
Max#$$#@ Honda Online price: $23,338
Less Honda to dealer incentive: $750 expries Mar 5th
Max#$$#@ Honda Online price less incentive: $22,588!
The price is too good to pass up. I've got financing along with $5500 cash down. But I want the car in that color. With a manual tranny. Any one know where I can find one? I'll pay to have it shipped.
DONE! I just bought a Certified Used 2008 Honda Accord EXL V6 Navigation Sedan (Silver with black leather interior), 19k miles, Certified Honda Used...$22,800 + TTL.
The car is rock solid, looks great, and is huge and luxurious. It feels as good as any Lexus or Acura I've ever been in. :shades:
I traded in my 2003 ML320 and they matched my Carmax appraisal from 2 weeks ago. This offered some tax savings, as I only had to pay sales tax on the difference. Fees/license etc came up to $251. I paid $2000 on a credit card to get some cash back, and wrote a personal check for the balance.
I was walked over to "finance department" to get the hard sell on the extended warranty. I was offered the Honda Care Certified Wrap Coverage, that extends the bumper to bumper warranty from 4 yrs / 48k miles (i.e. Certified Honda coverage) to 7 years / 100,000 miles ... they asked $1689! I offered $1000 and after 15 minutes of haggling, they accepted. They gave me some sob story about how they sold this to me at a loss and that they will make it up on someone else. Unfortunately, after I left, I saw on the internet that people have been getting this kind of coverage for around $600-900. Doh! :mad:
Anyways, I'm happy with the car. The peace of mind with the extended coverage should provide years of happy motoring.
Boch Honda in Norwood MA has a white/beige EX-L Manual in stock as of today 2/7. The sticker price is $26,275 and the stock number is 63878. I bet Boch, the largest dealer in NE can easily meet or beat your price of $22,588.
I'm currently in SoCali looking for a new 09 accord coupe EX blk on blk. The issue is that have a trade in...2007 Lexus IS 250 with 16,800 miles pay off at 31,500. I'm looking for a 72 month finance term to get a low monthly payment. What kind of deal can I get for what I'm looking for? Please help...
I'm in the beginning stages of my purchase. I know I want the sedan EX-L with Nav. I've already received 3 email prices that varied slightly, from $25,200 - $25,500 before taxes, etc.... Where do I go from here? I don't want to go to the dealer without having the number in my head. I'm in the triangle area in NC. Any advice would be tremendously appreciated.
Just starting to look at prices at the ex v6 or exl. I'm in Western Michigan. I have gotten prices around $25,400 for the v6 exl and 23,500 for the v6 ex. Are these prices any good? 3 dealers have emailed me these same approx. prices. I haven't sat down with any yet. Probably buy in the next month. Also, I like the side molding. Does anyone out there have the side molding and do they like it? How about the rear deck spoiler? I haven't these seen it on a real vehicle yet....

4 cyl, right? Great deal.
Dealer said I wouldn't be able to buy Honda Care at any other time if I refused, but that seems bogus. Did anyone else get this kind of sales tactic?
Thanks
