The best quote I have right now on the SE is $22,330. Any comments on the quote ?
Do you two need to pay a processing fee and down payment? Anderson now is asking me to pay a $150 processing fee and $3000 down payment.
I bought my Civic there 2 years ago, I was in and out in no time.
Taking that into consideration, I wouldn't say 24k is the best you could get. E-mail some dealers and ask them for their best price on an '11 Accord EX V6 and see if your dealer will match. Good luck!
Thank you for your response. I am aware of the $1500 incentive from Honda (someone posted that information here a while back).
I forgot about the AMEX. When we bought my wife's CR-V, we printed the quote from AMEX, dropped it off at the dealer with our salesman, and told him, we will be back in 2 hours, after gym, to see what is their answer.
We stopped by after gym, the sales guy probably thought we were bluffing, and said they will price match if we buy right now. I gave him my credit card for the deposit. He was shocked.
I'll take AMEX print out and see what they will do.
Which reminds me of a real event that happened to us. We got one of those "test drive" invitations to get a prepaid Visa card from Mazda. We went in, and were "upped" to this young guy, probably his first week on the sales floor. We told him upfront, we are not interested in buying, and just want for him to sign off. He went to the manager and came back with: "If we sell you the car (Mazda 6) for half the sticker price, would you buy it right now?" I gave him my credit card (to his and my wife's shock). He went back to the manager. Came back out with the manager. Manager said that this was a lesson for the sales guy, to never take "no" as an answer, and that everyone has their price.
I asked him about our Mazda 6 for 50% off... manager just laughed it off. I figured, if we got it for 50% off, I could sell it on ebay or craigslist for 75% of the sticker, and still make money...
I remember I once had a very flakey customer who spent about three hours on a busy Saturday looking at used cars. I finally landed him a new arrival that I knew would sell quickly.
He wanted to go home, sleep on it, consult his spiritual advisor...the usual.
I got the usual look when I suggested it wouldn't last long so I said, " why don't you offer half price and see what happens"
THAT got his attention! " OK, I'll do that!"
So, I sat him down and wrote up the deal at 50% off the sale price. I wrote " Buyer will buyu it now and will drive it home" and I had him sign that.
Then he asked me..." Do you think they will take that?"
I told him.." Of course not...we both know that, let's see what the manager says"
Of course, the sales manager laughed and took a sharpie and wrote a big question mark on my write up.
" Hey, I tried...at least you know I'm on your side!"
" Well....what WOULD he take"?
" Probably closer to the sale tag...do you mean you'll pay more?"
By this point, he really was committed to buy the car. All I needed was a commitment and I got one. Yes, he did buy the car!
A dealer gets attacked on a public forum for something he may or may not have done.
Was this a used car? Was it sold as is?
I am NOT defending this store but one has to wonder what the other side of this story may be or if we have a disgruntled ex employee or a competitor here for the first time.
For a dealer to take a position like this on a NEW car doesn't sound right.
No this wasn't a used car. It was a brand new Accord EXL with nav ordered from the FACTORY. When I brought the damage to the attention of the JEFF WYLER HONDA OF COLERAIN employees, they claimed they hadn't noticed the vehicle had been damaged within the mere three days since the car had been delivered from Marysville. They offered a mere $150 towards a repair bill that turns out will cost $500 to make perfect (as the car should have been upon delivery). So we are out $350 pure and simple. The two independent Honda autobody experts we had look at the car have told us there is touch up paint on the car. So the dealership was just hoping the could take advantage of us and they wouldn't have to do the right thing. Well, the Better Business Bureau, The Ohio Secretary of State, and the Honda Automotive Corp. Zone Manager will all be calling this dealer to find out why they would treat a formerly loyal Honda customer this way. So there's your other side of the story.
500.00 in damage at today's body shop rates fixes very little so it can't be much damage.
But, by all means, it should be fixed and it shouldn't have been delivered like that.
Hopefully it'll be fixed to your satisfaction.
Everyone in here is giving their side of the story... Who else's side can they give?
Wishing and hoping for the other side of the story? Sort of pointless..

My only point was a business get's slammed and they have no opportunity to respond.
The fact it happened to be a Honda store doesn't matter to me.
They are the worst Honda dealer in the area... they get what they deserve..

Out of curosity I checked the Google Reviews on that store and I was surprised to see five stars. Our poster here trashed them and give them one star and they had a couple of other poor reviews.
Interestingly enough, almost ALL of the other reviews were five stars.
When I clicked on the names of the five star reviewers, in every case, that was the only review they had ever left.
Interesting.....
If you choose to disregard it, that's fine, but that doesn't make his experience any less valid... nor, does he have to justify it.
These are consumer-oriented forums... that's what we do..

Quote for Accord SE was 22,180 or about 300 under invoice. I received a quote same day from McDavid In Frisco for 20,969. Very good deal but have seen some posts recently that made me question their ethics.
Several people have inquired about the deal at Anderson in Maryland. I was also able to get my Pilot in 2007 for a couple of thousand under invoice and so know these deals happen but it really takes a motivated dealer and timing- Day after an Ice Storm in Dallas as Isellhondas mentioned.
Work several dealers. If you have the option to hold off your purchase do it--Time is always on your side. Prices are regional in nature and in some cases vary widely within a region......Houston area for example where we have about 10 Honda Dealers. Unfortunately many owned by Penske group ie: Honda of Spring, Katy, Lake Jackson etc...and don't seem as motivated to discount....
Keep the up the posts--- I'm close to buying and it really helps to know the deals people are getting
I am trying to buy Accord 2011 EX-L w/Nav and received the quote for a dealer who is 50 miles away from where I live for 25500 OTD. Is this a good price? I am about to pull the trigger tomorrow. Do you all think it's good deal. Btw he dose not have the color what I was looking for but the one he has also not a bad color...
Thanks in advance to all.
I have seen OTD prices earlier for 2012 Accord SE on this board as 22194 and 20700. Were these OTD prices?
I am planning to buy one in next few days and was quoted OTD between 24200 to 24900.
Need advice ASAP as I want to buy one preferably this weekend.
Thanks in advance.

Their price for an accord SE is $21631, without any fees. Compare this to the selling price I quoted by your dealer.
Sales tax in Georgia is 8%, $35 DMV and $250 doc? Just guessing on the doc fee.
That means OTD is $23,646. Your price may be a tad high but does not seem unreasonable.
Hope this helps.
EX and EX-L are less discounted because they are more in demand. LX and LX-P are more discounted due less demand and I suspect it's 190 HP, larger tires and beefier anti-sway bar on EX that makes it a better vehicle to drive.
I placed a very thorough, though negative, review on my experience attempting to purchase vehicle at a Honda dealer in Bethesda, Maryland on DealerRater. I actually got a call from DealerRater to discuss and verify my review. I was very soon suprised to see my review removed from the site. I can only surmise this was due to some action between the Honda dealer and DealerRater.
In any case, dealer reviews on the internet should be viewed with some suspicion, expecially if there are only a couple of reviews.
