base price: 17,506.00
title: 120.00
tax: 1,569.00
OTD: 19,195.00
But other dealers told me this price is impossible. Is this price too good to be true? Thanks
One thing I wanted to ask, and I don't mean to sound like a grinder (too late I'm sure), but for you folks that are getting the dealer add-ons, are these sweeteners to close the deal, or are you guys just asking up front for them to be included?
Thanks,

I would disagree with Dennis on this. While it is true that some portable navi units have some advantages, I love Honda's navi system. Besides a great navi unit, having the A/C, radio, trip computer, calendar, etc. is wonderful. I'm even getting used to the voice commands.
It costs more and some might not think it is worth it but I also don't have to pull the unit out when I park either. Do some research and choose what is best for you. I love this system and don't regret the price I paid.
As with you, the dealer incentives have given me a reason to look at the EX-L, something that otherwise would have been out of my range.
And thanks for breaking down your deal, it'll help some of us here in the D/FW area with our bargaining.
Thanks for the words.
Small screen, but I'm looking at the road, not the screen while I drive, so it doesn't need to be large. It gives great voice directions. I can plug it into the stereo AUX input and hear it over the speakers along with the MP3s on the phone and I can call in the addresses by voice if I don't want to stop to type them in by hand and I hadn't already saved the address in favorites.
A nice feature I've used is the "pedestrian mode" that will route you as a pedestrian, avoiding highways and sending you the wrong way on one way streets if needed. It's great when you're in the city and want to find a nearby destination without having to go to the car to use the navigation and then pay to park again when the destination was within walking distance. Same thing when you took public transportation downtown and are exploring on foot.
It makes sense for anyone who already has or were planning to get a compatible phone and are already using the data plan for web and e-mail.
Can you tell me which dealer in Boston you went to in order to get this price? I am looking to buy the EX in the next few days, maybe the EX-L if the price is right.
Your price range for the EX is what I am willing to pay. Can you clarify if that includes TTL or not?
Also, I bought the last Sunday's newspaper and I did see 2.9% APR being offered, so it might be a good idea to ask them about that APR again. I see this at Clair Honda, Honda Cars of Boston, and Charles Daher Commonwealth. But all they have is "2.9% ask for details" they do not specify for Accord.
Boch Honda does specify that the 2.9% is only for Pilot, Ridgeline, Odyssey. NOT for Accord.
Herb Chambers does not post any 2.9% in their add.
Let me know if you are able to get 2.9% APR on any Accord.
Thanks,
Congrats on the new bundle of joy! I was driving the first gen (first year?) Civic Si when out first son was born. Picking him up from day-care if the afternoons, loading up the car seat in the back, and getting him in the car seat, and getting all that back out at home got old after maybe the 1st day
I would buy a new Accord now, with all the incentives they are about as cheap as a Civic right now.

This is my first time buying a car, I am a college student looking to save as much money as possible. I have a phone quote at $21,300 OTD for the EX Sedan. What do I do next? Or is this the bottom line price that I should just settle on? Any help is much appreciated.

$23,775 - Car
$1,902 - NY Tax (8%)
$200 - Title, New Plates and Fees
$25,877 - OTD
One dealer would not go any lower than $26,000 OTD and the other only said they would match it, not beat it. The only question now is whether to put money down now or wait till next week to see if the incentives get better. The dealer said he has no idea which way the incentives will go. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Invoice on the I4 EX sedan MT is $21,031 so your price is $1,443 under invoice if it includes dest/fee. If they left out the $595 then it is $848 under. There is probably a $1,200 incentive on this car, so the deal is either red hot or could be better.
Dennis
Yes, you should have a card (about the size of a credit card) with the radio code. It should have been in the package with the manuals, service records, etc.
My 95 and 06 Accords both have cards. The 06 even has one for the navi code.
I could be mistaken though, and I would definitely check both vehicles out before writing one of them off.

Is it a good deal? I am in Dallas, the quote is from JohnEagle dealership. Thanks.
Fold-Down Rear Seatback with Lock
but the VP sedan does NOT have:
Fold-Down Rear-Seat Center Armrest / Trunk Pass-Through with Lock
So the seat folds in all of them, but no pass through behind the arm rest for the VP sedan.
Dennis
invoice (including destination): 18,208
- holdback [2%]: (388.50)
- current dealer incentive [ in Texas ]: (750)
= triple net price aka the base price of the vehicle: $17,069.50

You may want to contact a few more dealers (Freeman, McDavid, Bankston are roughly within 10 miles of Eagle) to see if you can get the dealer accessories at a discounted price or better yet, for free (see post # 15426).

Is this a good deal? If so, which is better, SE or EX? I have until tomorrow evening to accept the offer. Thanks.
I think someone looked into that a year or so ago and IIRC, the answer was no. Of course, I may be mistaken.
What is the "wheel lock" option you are getting? I thought all of the VP wheels were plastic? If I were you, I'd drop the protection package and purchase the mud guards and trunk tray separately. This will save you a little over $200. I've never heard of wheel locks for plastic wheel covers.
Thank you so much for such great and informative posts! I;ve only found you after returning from a dealership in Allston, MA. I need advice quickly on a lease deal:
2007 Accord EX-L (v4) w/Navi
monthly payment: $349, which includes all taxes and fees rolled in.
(tax in MA is 5%)
36 months/15K miles per year
The only up front payment (down payment) due is one month of payment of $349.
Please let me know if I should be pulling the trigger or shopping for a better deal.
Dennis
I think I may go make the deal today!
Thanks for your help so far
Enjoy!
Dennis
(I'm planning to buy the SE over the EX, but if you need to choose the main things on the EX is the security system which I don't really knwo waht that does and the sunroof. The MSRP and TMV price of those two trims are about $1100-1400 difference, so if that's worth it to you, both are pretty good deals.)

According to Edmunds for Boston, MA
MSRP: $25,795
Invoice: $23,427 includes destination fee of $595 to Boston
TMV: $22,898
Dealer Price: $21,300
MA Tax: 5% $1065
Title: $50
Reg Fee: $34.50
Doc Prep Fee: $298
Total OTD: $22,747.50
I am pretty happy with the deal. I didn't get any accessories, nor extended warrantee, nor the "face-bra," seriously can't they come up with another name? how about "front cover" or "nose cover?"
In anycase, they gave me an outrageous APR at 7.9%, when I was hoping for something around 5%. I could have shopped for my own financing, however, most banks seem to charge another processing fee, and I know I will pay off the car much sooner than the term of the financing. They told me they would go down to 6.5% APR if I purchase an extended warrantee costing me $1600. So I said no. The 1.4% APR difference in the lifetime of the loan (66 months) will come out to about $700-$800 if my calculation is correct, and since I know they gave me a good sale price, I wasn't going to push on this APR issue, since I know I will pay this off in two years or so.
The other thing is that the $1200 cash back to dealer did not apply to the LX V6, that only applies to the EX model and perhaps other models.
For the LX V6 the cash back to dealer was $750. This was what the dealer told me.
I hope this clarifies this issue for some buyers reading this info on Edmunds. Different models will get different amount in dealer cash back.
So all in all, a very exhausting process, but I have to admit everyone I worked with at two different dealers before finally buying the car was much nicer, more polite, and less pushy and rude than the sales people back in Southern California where I bought a Camry and a Corolla for my family in the last few years.
Hope this help some of you buyers out there. There are not many LX V6 models left in New England, I found. But there are plenty of EX and EXL and EXL V6 so make sure you bargain like there is no tomorrow, and if they are rude to you, you can go to another dealer that have nicer people.
Good luck everyone.
