Could you guys share the best deals that you got or saw in recent months.
Every comment will be appreciated.
Thanks,
I am considering buying a 2002 Accord but am willing to wait as long as possible to get the lowest price. How much can I expect 2002 Accord prices to drop between now and when inventory runs out?
If you want the color you like, better hurry up.
No doubt 2003 model is superb, but 200 hp on 2002 should be more than adaquate for a family sedan. If you want a nice car with a bargin, the 2002 Accord should be the right choice ....
Dealer suggests $18600 for Accord SE.
Is this good deal?
Thanks in advance.
I paid $19000 out of the door for a SE in July, 2002 in CA. Tax in CA is 7.75%
i'm about to go peruse the rest of edmunds.. haven't had to do this in so long. have to get back into the current swing of things. thanks!
This is my first experience with Herb Chambers but have purchased from Honda Cars of Boston - top notch service department and sales person was helpful but I don't think they can go below their advertised price - which is usually on their website. Clair and Bernardi usually have their prices on website also. Boch doesn't neither does Herb Chambers, Silko, Cambridge, Honda Village, Honda Barn, Honda North, or Kelly Honda.
As far as the warrenty, my son had purchased one for his car - not a Honda - and when he went to use it for the first time he was told the repair was not covered. It's a lot of money you are giving to someone and may not be able or need to use it. Put it in the bank and let the money grow! I didn't need to buy the car the day I did and I think the dealer realized that. How badly you need the car will factor in. Can you wait long enough to haggle with more than one dealer? Don't forget read, read, and read everything before you sign! Good Luck!
Good Luck!
After Sept. 9th, not sure what will be offered on any remaining 2002 model Accords. Even without a nation-wide cash-back policy, any dealers left with 2002 models in their lot will need to discount aggresively since the car will be officially one model year older. No way anyone should buy a 2002 model without a generous discount.
Prices have already started to recover as inventories diminish. If you haven't bought a new Accord yet, you may have missed the best discounts already.
Greetings from sunny Miami.
We went into HONDA CARS OF CLARKSVILLE (Indiana) the other day, looking for a Silver EX V6. They didn't have one, but George, the sales guy said that he would call if he came across one. Well, he called today, and my wife and I went in after work. After they finished pulling the tape off the car, we test drive it, and decided that we wanted to see if we could get it.
HONDA CARS OF CLARKSVILLE is offering the Accords at a pretty good price right now -- $22,055, which is (MSRP - $4500). They are also doubling the manufacturer's warranty to six years, 72K miles. Granted, this is a fairly good price. It's actually close to the price I was going to walk in with, which was $21,978. Given that they were offering it at this price, though, I had to ask for some add-ons.
At first, to see if they would bite, we asked for them to throw in the spoiler ($499 MSRP). Sales guy pretty much nixed that, so we asked for, and stuck to the idea of them throwing in the wood grain kit and moonroof visor ($199 and $79 MSRP). We told them that, if they did this, we would pay MSRP for the spoiler, which we wanted pretty bad.
George seemed a little doubtful, but after confirming a million times that we had a deal if they threw in the wood grain kit and the visor, he decided to write everything up. He wrote down all of our information (contacts/salary/house payment/etc), and asked us for a deposit check. After we confirmed with him a million times that we expected them not to "lose" our check if we decided not to buy, he took it to the sales manager.
Sales manager guy comes up with the usual story about how low priced the car is already, and, in the end, told us that he couldn't do it. We said "ok," took our check back and walked out. This is where it get's interesting.
As we're standing by the car talking, this 6'7" thug-looking guy walks out and tells us, in this booming voice, how we owe George an apology. "He worked for two days on this deal!" "Don't you know he works on commission?!" "For you to sit there and look smug and walk away from the deal is just rude!" Seriously, this guy had his voice raised, and was damn near yelling.
We were darn near speachless. My wife was like "Who *are* you?!?" He said that he was the owner (I don't believe it). After I explained that we weren't there to make George money and that he could be as mean as he wanted and it wouldn't change things. Not only that, but wow, we had never been treated this way before.
Needless to say, we aren't going to be buying a car at HONDA CARS OF CLARKSVILLE, even if they call tomorrow and offer it for free. To be treated this way, no matter if they liked our offer or not, is just ridiculous.
Epilogue: I realize that what we asked for is a lot, but with so many stories on here of people getting $21.5K for this car, we felt like we would just try to see what we could get. We were essentially offering $22,554 for an Accord EX V6, with visor, wood grain kit, and spoiler -- a little low, but not verbally-attack-us low.
Know what I mean?
Did you get a 2 door or 4 door accord se?
Magico
here got better prices than mine.
I am considering to install keyless entry myself.
Is it easy to do? any advice?
my main problem will be selling the old car, getting the cash, and taking it to a dealer who has the car i want in stock.
Thanks
