    Just wanted to update all on my new purchase of a Belize Blue/Ivory LX-S Coupe with a 4 Cylinder and manual Transmission.
    I have been looking online, emailed many dealers in the Midwest, and searching autotrader.com and cars.com --for months.
    As well as checking this forum regularly, the input from many has been very helpful --thanks to all.

    Finding this particular color combo in a manual, with ANY engine (4 or 6) has been nearly impossible, many dealers offered to order , but prices were not as good as on the lot inventory.. I could wait ,so did ---but finally used advanced search techniques thru the websites above to find my car at Schlossman's Honda City in Milwaukee. Quite a drive ,,but email and phone conversations were very straight-forward , with no suprises at all.

    Car was offered at $19640.00 ( including destination) , included a trunk tray, haggled for mud-guards , but did not work out.
    At business office got the pitch for extended warranty , but did not succumb. May consider later , but doubt it.

    Extras were WI taxes, license plate fees, $125 service fee, with total at almost exactly $21,000.
    (WI taxes about 1100.00 ) that's the final $$

    I had seen closeout 08's about 18800 last fall for the same car ,but in color combos I would not consider,,though I live in the north I've lived with Black leather seats,and just too hot for me ,,the blue exterior is just great for me.

    Many WI dealers very competitive with V6 models,,but never had my colors
    Happy with 190 Hp and my fourth new Honda product. BTW got 31 mpg on the freeway home ( Not bad for the new blue beauty)

    Good luck forum friends ,, good deals are out there,,and patience paid off for me to get exactly what I was after..

    One day after making this deal, I feel like I didn't do as well as I should have. Honestly, I didn't do any negotiating, so I think it's partly my fault.

    Edmunds-2009 EX-L w/NAV 26,593 (invoice w/ dest)- $1,000 incentive = $25,593.

    I got a 2008 EX-L w/NAV (BLACK ON BLACK) = $24,000

    I'm sure I could have done something, but I didn't move. The price got me in the door and I signed. I got the 3.9% and they gave me $1,500 for my beat up 2000 Accord.

    This went down near the NYC area.

    The dealer was cool and the business manager didn't try to sell me on anything except for Honda Care (which I'm not interested in).

    Honestly, my wife and I were planning on getting a 2007 MDX w/ Tech (12,600) miles for around 35. In the end, I saved a lot of money.

    matx08,
    share us with your purchase experience with break down details. $22470+TTL was the lowest I have seen on this forum.
  • inet123inet123 Member Posts: 11
    please provide details of where and which dealer?
  • beslcbeslc Member Posts: 7
    I am interested in an 09 EXL Coupe V6 with or without Nav. I would appreciate some help in determining what would be the price point to look for in purchasing this model.

    Thank you for your time

    Where did you get the 18575 quote?
  • jbruin24jbruin24 Member Posts: 2
    From Spreen Honda in Loma Linda, CA.

    The OTD price was $20,550. Anybody in SoCal do any better than that for a base LX?

    I just bought my 2009 Honda Accord EX-L 4 door 4 cylinder Auto transmission w/o navigation from a local Dallas dealer for $24,300 OTD. Accessories include
    Window Tint
    Wheel Locks
    Cargo Tray
    Honda Splash Guards
    Color Keyed Molding Package

    $23,070+TTL = $24,300 OTD

    I think I made a good deal. Your thoughts??
  • mitchfloridamitchflorida Member Posts: 420
    I think that is a very good deal, especially if there is no dealer fee. In Florida, they always add a Dealer fee of $400 to $600.

    Was quoted $22,999 with a dealer fee of $400 in addition to tax, and tag.

    Your deal is $400 better, if you don't have to pay the fee.
  • matx08matx08 Member Posts: 14
    I bought this past weekend an Accord EX-L 4cyl 4 door sedan for $23,300 OTD. Accessories: protection package (splash gurads, wheel locks and cargo tray), Window Tint, edge door guards, moonroof visor and Bluetooth.
  • 2amazin2amazin Member Posts: 2
    I've been shopping for a V6 EXL for two months now. Which dealer did you purchase from?
  • bergaminibergamini Member Posts: 45
    From a Chicago area dealer, here is my quote:

    H91638 114059 2009 HONDA ACCORD 09 4D EXL 5MT POLISHED METAL / GRAY MSRP:$26,275.00 IN-STOCK

    For this vehicle , your special Internet e-price is $21,766.00*

    The price includes destination, there are no dealer fees but it does not include TTL. It is about $2200 less than invoice and seems reasonable to me. I think I'm going to buy it unless anyone posts that they think I can do better.
  • 2amazin2amazin Member Posts: 2
    That's a good price. I just received an eprice for the same vehicle
    eprice"$24837 + TTL
  • numk40numk40 Member Posts: 2
    Can some one tell what is the difference between these two engines. LX P or EX which one is better.. Please advice.. thanks for your help..
  • mitchfloridamitchflorida Member Posts: 420
    The invoice price for your vehicle is $22,883, including $1000 cash back to the dealer. Holdback is another $530, or $22,353.

    So he gave you all of his holdback and is now digging into his own pocket for $587 to sell you that car, unless he is adding a Dealer fee at that amount.

    Something doesn't make sense there. Is Honda giving more that $1000 cashback to dealers on 2009 Accords??
  • 2008honda2008honda Member Posts: 17
    Honda Accord LX OTD $20,550 is good with CA tax... You may squeeze another $200, but it will be very tough. Try it again during Memorial day sale, just wait 4 more week

    I just purchased last week Accord LX sedan Auto for $19,900 with FL tax 6%, $52 doc fee, $100 for Tag etc. I think in CA it's good deal.
    :D

    I hope all of you on this site understand your trying to totally rob every hard working AMERICAN that works in a dealership like myself. I know you think you know all the dealer cash and invoice price on vehicles, but you fell to realize that doesnt have to be given to any of you greedy losers who are the cause for this recession. If you don't allow the companies to make anything on each deal howdo you suppose they will pay for all the great service in the future. Don;t complain the next time your in for service and you can't even get a cup of coffee while you wait. You should really find something better to do with your time than to sit on a computer trying to find ways to steal more money from hard working AMERICANS like you. Just think if this were your job as a nurse, doctor, computer IT specialists, teacher, pharmacist, chemist, or whatever you do and everyone only wanted you to make the absolute minimal amount possible for your work and didn't pay for all the great and nice work you do. Have a Great F***IN DAY
  • jalilijalili Member Posts: 16
    I'm not sure I want to pay for the kind of service you are providing.
  • postmortempostmortem Member Posts: 15
    okay, troll alert. Honda has sold 22k Accords in March, and I doubt more than 1% buyers have actually read this site, which means rest have been potentially ripped off.

    Now problem is that you are in dirty business, as in price of the car is not set in stone, but variable, and buyers have to haggle. So this site clearly helps us to learn what is true price of the car. This site would not exist if you salesmen and managers were not so greedy and trying to get as much as you can from each buyer. Actually I'd love if everybody would pay the same price, but then you wouldn't profit as much.

    So as a consequence, allow us to not have the desire to share our money with the dealership. Only crooks are scarred of information being available to buyer.
    Most buyers will agree - we want to pay manufacturer, not you.
  • jhinscjhinsc Member Posts: 399
    This is the kind of attitude that has driven consumers to Edmunds and other sites to discuss how to get the best deal on their new Honda. I don't know about you, but when I shop for ANYTHING, I look for the best value/deal. If your dealer is willing to sell at or below invoice/cost, whose fault is it for not making any money? If we're successful in making a great deal, did we rob you, or did you give it away? I am all for dealers making money as I want them to be successful so I can continue to shop there in the future. OTOH, we see from the consumer's perspective the dealer sales dept. doing everything in their power to get as much money from the buyer, so it works both ways. That's why you see so much zeal on this forum discussing how to get the best deal. And if you really read the posts on this and other forum, you rarely get the perception that we're trying to "rob" you. It appears you're in the wrong profession if you truly feel this way and don't like working with people. Maybe you should try another profession? Best of luck to you.
  • mitchfloridamitchflorida Member Posts: 420
    I have sold Honda cars in the past, and I tend to agree with you. The New Car business has forever changed, and there will never be large profits selling new cars. New car sales are a loss leader for getting Used Cars cheap, for the Service and Parts Departments, and for warranty work.

    Most Car Dealerships have given up trying to be profitiable in the new car departments. And it will only get worse, not better. It has to do with supply and demand.

    The only time I was ever able to sell a car at full MSRP was when I sold a Mercedes CLK which had a special turquoise color . . it was the only one in the entire southeast, so we could charge top dollar for it.

    Everything else went at invoice or close to it. There are about 12 Honda dealerships all selling the exact car and color.

    If you are a good salesman, you need to get out of the new car business . . either start selling used cars, or some other product entirely.

    I bought my 2009 Honda Accord LX-P 4 cylinder (Auto) from a volume dealer in Boston MA for $ 19200 ($20540 OTD ) and 2.9% APR for 36 months. I think this is a good price
  • mitchfloridamitchflorida Member Posts: 420
    The last I heard, HMC was only rebating $1000 back to the dealer per Accord sold. That is what Edmunds shows.

    Some of the discounts described here makes me think that may have changed recently. Does anyone know for sure?
  • waggs98waggs98 Member Posts: 1
    I just bought one in the Hampton Roads area in Virginia for $27,900 to include the automatic starter, splash guards, and window visors. OTD $29,013 to include tax, title, and fees. I'm very happy!
  • orsayorsay Member Posts: 2
    Here is the quote I got.
    Something wrong? too good to believe?

    09 Accord LX/AT Sedan:
    $15,999 if coupon used + $298 doc fee, + $111 new plates /registration + $799.95 MA Sales Tax = $17,207.95 OTD. Please remember that the $200 coupon expires in 10 days!
    Please make sure you see that this vehicle comes with our lifetime powertrain warranty, as well as the promotional financing
  • dolsey01dolsey01 Member Posts: 92
    That sounds more like Civic LX pricing. I think they made a mistake. That must be Prime with the lifetime warranty.
  • hondabozhondaboz Member Posts: 2
    I knew you ignorant people wouldn't get the point of my posting but let me spell it out for you. If you think the car salesman and managers are greedy why don't you find out the so called true cost of the $200 item of clothing that you buy is a and tell me who is greedy. You don't go to your grocery store and tell the grocer that the $2.99 gallon of milk is too much and that you'll only pay $2.00 for it. You don't go to the cell phone store and tell the clerk your only going to pay $12.00 for the $29.99 car charger because you'll get laughed at if you do. I worked in best buy before and if you think car dealers are greedy, ask them how much they paid for the 42 inch televisions that are in you living rooms. I look for deals just as much as the next man but I don't try to buy everything wholesale because I know the earth has to turn somehow. I work fine with people but I know you think I'm the a**hole because i want to support my AMERICAN FAMILY without having every other american rack my brain all day playing a game of who wants to give away a car. And I'm so glad you want the manufacturer to get paid and not the AMERICAN CAR DEALERSHIP OWNER to get paid. By the way this manufacturer is a JAPANESE MANUFACTURER. You all make me sick with your uneducated rants of ignorance. And thanks but no thanks for the luck, I don't beleive in luck, I believe and put my faith in God.
  • mitchfloridamitchflorida Member Posts: 420
    You should vent your anger not at the Honda customers, but the Honda Accord Sales Managers who are selling the cars at such big discounts.

    Yell at your boss , not at us.
  • mrashy2004mrashy2004 Member Posts: 15
    What dealership in the Boston Area is offering the LX auto for 15,999?

    The best deal I got from a Boston Dealer for an LX auto was 17,900
  • stripe1stripe1 Member Posts: 72
    hondaboz, after you reach the man up stairs, he's going to put your butt in the trunk of an Accord, start it up, and drop your butt straight down to you know where. How dare you to reticule people who are trying to save as much as they can by obtaining information on this great site. Go back to the first grade, and start over again.

    Banzai!!!
  • greatlakesjrgreatlakesjr Member Posts: 109
    First of all, someone who puts their faith in God should at least abide by His commandments and one of those has to do with swearing. Yes, even if you have *** within your words, we know what you are saying. I don't bargain with my grocer on a gallon of milk because he won't bargain. Grocers never set up a game of give and take on prices, car dealers did so they can ransack the timid to more than make up for the "discounts" negotiated by the informed. Let alone the fact that most large ticket items like automobiles have historically been fluid on the prices. That's simply the tradition of those particular marketplaces. You bet I'm going to get the lowest price I can on a car because no one else is going to work in my best interest better than I. That's the marketplace...the dealer/seller wants as much money as he can get from me and I want to give him the least amount possible. The more money he gets from me, the less I have to use on something else, say food and shelter for MY family. I can't worry about YOUR family on the grander scale. That's up to you...whether it's how you save/spend your money, the skills you acquire to better yourself in the marketplace, etc. I pick and choose the charities I give my money to and do not consider my buying a car from your dealer to be a charitable contribution. It's simply a business deal and if someone offers a better one, I'll go there instead (or even postpone my purchase for another day) and maybe your dealer will have to learn to improve their deals or they won't survive.

    mitchflorida & hondaboz;

    Well, it is tough time and you have to speak up... we understand that. But, you are forgetting some fundamental of this world. Let me remind you all..

    We are living in USA …. Land of Free…. And land of opportunity…

    The golden rule of freedom and capitalism is “Survival of the fittest”. Think of our great great… grand father came to this land (500 years ago) and with freedom, capitalism, they survived and build this nation to # 1 in the world.

    We (Consumer) people have internet and technology (i.e. consumers are getting more “Fittest”) and getting more educated about how to save penny. And at the same time few businesses are getting smarter and keep going. New car businesses need to survive by giving us some innovative offers and lure consumer into dealership. I think all new car dealers and salespersons are smarter than average consumer.

    We have seen groceries store compete for $2.99 milk and compete for their survivor… We have seen so many companies rose high and become top business because of their smart business. (i.e. Microsoft, Wall-Mart) and so many companies got doomed, because their poor management and bad luck (i.e Circuit city, Lehman Brothers etc).

    Best Buy survived because Circuit City got doomed. Cell phone companies have same problem… So don’t compare those businesses with Auto business. No body is putting a gun on car salesperson and demanding low prices. If you can’t afford, and can’t sell any car… close the business. Well that’s it in nutshell “Survival of fittest”

    God bless the USA.

    Dude,

    You are working in the wrong industry. And wrong website indeed. You should be on Monster.com, looking for Grocery Store Clerk jobs; if you don't want to negotiate.
    Good luck. (Obviously, God doesn't take care of you!)

    All jobs you mentioned, "nurse, doctor, computer IT specialists, teacher, pharmacist, chemist, etc", need degree, training, but car salesmen don't need any kind of training except to learn the tricks.

    Unfortunately, with internet, we don't need a car salesman.anymore, nor sales manager. We just send a few emails to get price quote, then sign the purchase contract. We don't need any service from you or your manager.

    So, feel lucky if you still have a job!

    Hello,
    This forum has been very helpful to me in understanding what to expect and how to negotiate while buying a car. I have been shopping around for an Accord LX-P 4 cyl AT for the past few weeks, but couldn't get a deal price of around $20,500 OTD. Am I looking for an aggressive price number?. It will be very helpful if anyone can post their buying experience, dealer name, price (including OTD) that was bought in North/Central NJ recently. Thanks again & Happy shopping everyone.
  • accordhunteraccordhunter Member Posts: 24
    The last quote I got for LX AT 4 cy. was $20,200 (OTD in NJ) a few weeks ago, so unless the dealers are more desperate right now, I think your offer is a little bit aggressive for LX-P; as a matter of fact, I found the Honda dealers that I visited in last month all had very good business, at least on every Saturdays. I didn't see any economy recession at their showrooms as said on newspapers.
  • mitchfloridamitchflorida Member Posts: 420
    What is the current marketing support that Honda gives its dealers for Accords?

    Is it $1000, $1500, or ???

    Does anyone know? I am guessing that it is $1500 till April 30, but have not seen anything here.
  • wc_pacificawc_pacifica Member Posts: 7
    I actually just purchased a 2009 EX-L V6 for $23,283...before TTL. Fantastic deal with 3.9%. I am sure deals could get better around Memorial Day or even when the 2010's come out...but a savings of neary $6000 is worth it.
  • jalilijalili Member Posts: 16
    where did you get the EX-L no nav for $23,283 ?
