I think I'm at the point where I want to get it done (have been going at this for 3 months!), don't have dependable wheels, and nothing is perfect....
I would definitely say to drive before you buy.
so v6 also has its own issues. no matter which car it is, there will be some pros and cons with each of them.
camry - with all the fiasco, it is no more a choice for many of us now.
altima - has a CVT transmission problem (though now nissan is giving 10 year warranty on it)
Accord - has a brake pads issue plus on top that now they too issued a recall for airbag problem on 2001 and 2002 models
we as a consumer seems to be running out of options for a nice reliable sedan.
.
Which state did you purchase your ex-l v6? Thats a great deal.
What was your final price of the vehicle itself without the tax, title, license, etc.???
Thanks.

TIA.
Just wondering if there is any new incentives from Honda for the presidents day weekend. I got an email from one dealer saying Honda is giving 0% APR, but don't know the details. is it true? Is that for everybody or there are limitations? Did you guys here anything about it? or any other new incentives for this presidents day weekend??? am in MA.
Hope this helps
I am getting this quote for ex auto 4cyl
20,331.51
710.00 (shipping)
587.00 (dealer svc. chg)
18.00 (title)
3.00 (lemon law)
21,649.51 + tax
This is in Georgia
TIA.
I am taking 0.9%APR, No Trade-In, No Honda Loyalty;
The quote I got is $23,500 (out the door). Any comments on this quote?
I have been contacting 10+ dealers back and forth, seems this one is lowest from where I live.
The breakdowns:
$21,464 (including $710 destination)
$1500 Tax
$249 documentation
$300 Registration
I was at the 5 yard line, was blitzed, and thrown back to the 25...I think it was an actual mistake as opposed to subterfuge, but a mistake nonetheless, which has affected my strategy and wasted 7 days.
To those whom this fiasco has negatively affected, I apologize...To others, perhaps it motivated you unwittingly to get a better price...
Myself, I can only regroup...still want the lowest price....my state of mind probably best described by Jim Morrison of the Doors... "The future is uncertain, The end is always near"..(Roadhouse Blues)
My 07 Accord SE is not noisy either.
Mistake? I can't help but think this is the typical bait and switch tactics dealers use all the time. How can a salesman be so sloppy? I'd fire him and ask for a more experienced salesman or go to another dealer.
It's like times I have gone to a dealer with an ad in the paper only to find when you arrive that the ad only applied to that 1 vin they just sold, and get the "We do have plenty of others available only a little more". not
I don't put too much stock in quoted prices.. A price on a completed deal, in your driveway... is another matter..

If can't rely on a quote then what do you do? Sure there's always fine tuning but a couple thousand isn't acceptable. If you wait til you get to your driveway to check your price then your too late.
I have about 1 month before I have to turn my 2007 Accord SE back in. I am looking into leasing a 2010 Accord LX-P but it's been a while since I've been in "the game" sort of speak. I haven't got the 07 inspected yet. Should I wait till maturity date is up or is it ok the try and lease new vehicle now? What's the advantages or dissadvantages of this??? Also I don't have to much info on the new vehicle other than payment. Could someone help me with that. THANKS in advance. What additional info would I need to help me with this deal?
2010 Honda Accord LX-P Auto $238.00/MO Includes MA sales Tax
36 Months
12,000 Mi/Year
*$0 1'st Mo payment
*$0 Bank/Acq Fee
*$0 Sec Dep
*$0 Initial Reg/Plate Fees
*$0 Cap Cost Reduction
*$0 Advanced Payments
STEPS:
1. Check KBB and NADA for trade-in value. Hope the dealer will give you the higher of the two. Yes the condition of the car matters. Hopefully it is immaculate.
2. Check your lease payoff. Note: The lease payoff should not be your lease payment multiplied by the number of months left. It should be considerably less than this. You don't have to pay the sales tax on future payments if you turn it in. Typically you only pay the depreciation and maybe rent charge portions of your payment. Call Honda (not the dealer) and ask what you "payoff" is as of today's date. Make sure they know you are trading it in or they might quote you buyout price assuming you are keeping the vehicle until lease end.
3. If trade in value is say $22,000 and lease buyout/payoff is $19,000 then you have $3000 in equity. This $3000 can be put down on your next lease just like you own the car you are trading in.
I have done this several times and will NEVER buy another car again considering this is allowed but not common knowledge. My last lease was a $36K 2010 Ford Edge AWD that I had traded my lease for and got about $2100 in trade equity. Payment on a 27 month lease = $298 including 7% sales tax.
That is how many Accords they sell with manual transmissions (about 5%)..That's why I doubt your salesperson made a "mistake" and quoted you a manual price, instead of automatic.
If can't rely on a quote then what do you do?
If they don't stand by their quote, you walk on to the next dealership..
I wasn't suggesting you wait until you get it in your driveway, only that for the purposes of our forum, a quoted price means nothing to another member.... Only actual sales prices have meaning. Because, as you discovered, your salesperson's quote wasn't real.

A couple other dealers gave me quotes for $100-200 less, but they said "conventional financing" not 0.9% from American Honda Finance.
Also, I was told $1400 of incentives were taken into account in this offer ($500 + $900, have no clue where these come, other dealers say they can't if they give low financing, but Boch says 0.9%).

I don't understand your logic, knowing car salesman as I do. They will do anything to get you into the dealership and to make the sale . The bait and switch tactic is as old as the hills.
This wasn't my quote by the way. I was just commenting on the [cindyaccord] post. I wonder if she bought the car, she hasn't been back since.
Due to the snow my goal now is to buy the car sometime next week....As things stand, the "mistake's" quote is still $700 lower than the next best...though I would prefer not to buy there. Last week, the second best quote wouldn't offer another quote as requested, wanted to know "what it would take", and basically insulted me... no way to earn my business and I was ready to buy the "mistake". Yesterday # 3 recontacted me by email & I have asked for another quote, but haven't heard back. Likewise, with # 5, but they had a high initial quote. The highest quote (# 6), I have eliminated.
As I'm sitting here writing this, I'm wondering if maybe I've played out this internet thing...maybe I'm spinning my wheels, going back and forth.
If things don't improve by the end of the weekend, I might just walk into the dealer on a Sunny Day that I think is most honest and negotiate Old School. From the Forum and my quotes, I think I know what a reasonable price should be... I have the cash....Maybe it's time to do it the old fashioned way....or go buy a Mustang.....
I'm now wondering if maybe my problem has been that I haven't thrown out numbers for them to beat...Just said that theirs wasn't the lowest....Thought I was being more ethical and more tactical, as well as not being tied down, keeping my options open....Who knows....
When this is all over, rest assured that I will name names.
