Out the door with tax (5% Cobb County), title and license was $25,457.25.
Car came equiped with mud flaps (or whatever they are called) and a wind damper over the sunroof.
I was in and out of the dealer in one hour with a full tank. Best car buying experience I have ever had.
I agree that there must be some major incentives going on right now. I never imagined I would be "out the door" with tax, title, license for UNDER dealer invoice. Amazing. What a great car for the money.
The Grand Am is the sedan GT but it has 120K miles. It has been a good car but it's value is shrinking rapidly.
I almost walked out again went they re evaluated my trade in...wasted another hour of the day...I was there for total 4 hours. Luckily, they gave me the same amount on their last offer.
$24,435 Selling price
$ 45 Doc fee
$ 5 CA tire fee
$ 215 License
$ 1,775 Sales Tax
I did everything over the net with e-mail and the price was disclosed before I came in. I had a very positive experience at the dealership, they just handed me the keys to a couple of models I was considering and let me drive them. Several other posters have gotten similar deals from this dealership and they appear very motivated to move Accords by year-end. They offered the typical F & I options and I declined them all with no hassle from the F & I salesperson. I had a credit score of 775 and took the 1.9% Honda financing. No trade-in was involved as I am keeping my 95 Prelude with 215,000 miles on it, so when I miss shifting I'll take it out for a spin. Based on my price and many others posted here it is clear to me that Honda is offering a substantial monetary incentive for each Accord sold right now by their dealer network.
I'M GOING TO PICK IT UP ON MONDAY, AND AM WONDERING IF I GOT A GOOD DEAL, OR A GREAT DEAL.
+ $300 FOR SECURITY SYSTEM + 395 LOJACK. I'M PROBABLY GOING TO GET THEM BECAUSE I WILL BE PARKING THE CAR OUTSIDE.
WHAT DO U THINK??
I could not find a HondaWest dealer in Fremont CA. Do you mean Auto West Honda? Also, how did they calculate the $1,775 sales tax? It seems very low. The sales tax in the Fremont area (Alameda County) is 8.75%. Thanks.
Before the Lojack was put in, I was peeping out of my bedroom window at night checking on it.
It was never stolen, but the Lojack and alarm definitely let me sleep at night!
I think that was a wise decision considering the the Accord is a favorite among thieves! Sounds like you got a good deal on the installation to boot.
I've seen lower quotes on this forum but not in this area, so I think your quote is good.
What dealer are you using?
What so you think the thieves did in the back seat?
I say, let the insurance company give me the book value and I will buy a new one.
Best possible price that I currently have is $22,300 plus Tax (8.625%) and fees ($312.50) for a total of $24,564. Most places seem to be able to match the price but none will drop below. Also, the seller threw in a bunch of free accessories. Any feedback or comments are appreciated.
I'm commissioning in the Air Force this coming May and need some wheels. I've been looking around at the Accord Coupe (V6-EX) and was wondering if it's wishful thinking to get this car for $25,000 total (including tax, title, tags)? Is the addition of the navigation system simply out of this price range? Anyone know of the chances of this happening?
Thanks in advance...

I know of a few other people that got the car back after a month and so and the car was not worth having. I had a collage buddy that got his honda car back(without LoJack) after the Alabama State Troopers recovered it after a long car chase. It was ragged out. I would prefer that if it is stolen, I would not get it back but that is not our choice.....its the insurance companies.

So the price you paid looks favorable so long as any "document fee" wasn't more than $50 added to the purchase price (taxes and license fees don't go to the dealer, so they're extra--"document fee" is just more profit for the dealer).
It's a sure thing that if you go back to the dealer in a few days to see your traded car on their lot, it'll be all shined up and priced somewhere between $4,000 and $5,000. Whatever they did to fix it up will reduce their profit; however, they really made most of their money on your old car and not the new one.
In any case, you now have nice new car to enjoy and if the old car was really a mess, be happy it's gone.........Richard
I would love a 05 manual but those are 1/200 in production. Once upon a time 10% of production now rare for HOnda to even make a run.
I found a manual LX. Price would be about $18,500 a little over invoice.

That is an unbelievable deal. If I could find that in the Denver area I would not wait any longer. That price is well below Dealer invoice-holdback (which including destination would be $25475 according to my calculations). Unless there is a large incentive right now, they would be taking over a $1000 loss on the car. WOW! In any case, enjoy and great deal!
Bought yesterday a Accord EX-V6 4DR Sedan with NAV for $24,638
Here is the breakup of the deal:
Sale price $24,638.00
doc $45
Lic $217
cal tire fee $5
Cal tax $2036.35
Total $26,941.35
Flew down to SJC (I live in Vancouver, WA), picked up the car at the dealer (total time 1.5 hours, including test drive), and drove back to Vancouver.
The local dealers in Portland/Seattle will NOT deal for anything lower than invoice.
There is an incentive for dealers between now and the end of the year. It is based on volume. If they move a given number of units, they receive a $$$ incentive for each unit sold. If they don't hit the number, no incentive. If they haven't yet hit the number, and yearend is nearing, the deals should get even better. Watch.
Hope this helps.
And, believe it or not, there are actually some GOOD ones out there!
Ask your friends and associates for a referral.
I also got an offer of 23,400 in Ontario, but I have not gone there yet.
It took several hours at the dealership at Downey Honda and when they finally showed us the car- it had a big scratch in the windshield- so we walked.
Just was interested in prices paid thus far- including tax and lisence and also if APR is negotiable? I was quoted 3.9%- I am a student, never financed a car before, but have good credit.
Thanks!
($750 under invoice) for a 2005 Accord LX 4 cylinder, 4-dr, auto in Connecticut.
Looks like maybe an end of the year sale.

Must be very regional! $19,769 on Carsdirect for same car in Denver...
Base price: $25,936.00
After adding window tint (a must in AZ), rear wing spoiler, cargo net in the trunk, and mud guards, the price came to $27,250. Sales Tax was $1829.10, tire tax $5. Window etching $199.95 (anyone care to comment on whether that is worth it?). License and Reg.: $471.55. Doc and Admin Fee: $295.50.
Total delivered price: $30,051.10
$1000 cash down, plus $4000 trade-in for my 97 Accord LX.
It sounds like I might have been able to get them down lower. It might have helped if I had been willing to take whatever color they had available. I wanted the dark blue originally, but they said they wouldn't get any until after the first of the year. At that point, they would be using a new Kelley Blue Book to value my trade-in and I would have gotten less. Sorry, Edmunds, much as we all love you, the dealers still only use KBB. Really somewhat disappointing, since KBB returns values lower than Edmunds. Anyway, I went with the graphite color, because they could get one from a dealer in Tucson, and it already had the spoiler and window tint on it, so I didn't have to schedule a separate time to get that done. They put in the cargo net while I was doing paperwork.
On the whole, that was the best experience I have had buying a car. I was dealing with the fleet/internet department, contacted through Edmunds. The salesman was great. He spent a lot of time with me. Answered all my questions. Even the finance guy was not bad, and I have had some BAD experiences with finance guys. I didn't opt for the Honda financing, because they only go out to 60 months. My credit union will do 72 months. Even with a higher rate, that gives me a smaller payment. In all, it was a great experience.
Love the V6, and LOVE the Navigation.
Just an FYI, they are advertising 1.9% financing for Accords but you need a credit score of something like 720. I'm told most people with very good credit have in the high 600's, so it's a little deceptive. They'll give the 2.9% offered across all models with much lower scores but I don't know what they are.
This is a very impressive car. I was particularly impressed with the traction control on snow. I'm currently driving a Subaru (AWD) and the Honda was able to accelerate up some snowy hills from a dead stop much more effectively than I would have imagined.
Mine was at 801 when I checked it last year... So, the program isn't deceptive...but the person that told you that most people with "good credit" score in the 600s might have been.
Did they tell you what your credit score is?

I purchased a 2005 Honda Accord LX 4dr AT Sedan (2.4L 4cl 5A) yesterday for 19100 in Paramus NJ. This number includes everything: taxes (6% in NJ), fees and etc.
What do you think?
Thanks-
