Could you please forward the email you got from Ourisman Honda to my email address: mlhxsc@yahoo.com ?
Thank you.
This is what I found. Prices are coming down but the dealers have started adding obscene amounts of accessories to make up for the price deterioration. 2 weeks ago, I saw cars on the lot with only splash guards, wheel locks, pinstripes, etc. which they were ready to throw in for free.
Now, a lot of cars had moonroof visor, spoiler, etc. which they generally don't give away free. Suddenly, the same cars which had $299 worth of accessories, now have $1,599 worth of accessories. This particular dealer actually gave a $500 lower price, but promptly added back $1,599 and said that he has to charge for the accessories. I actually saw a Alabaster Silver EX-L-V6 on lot with nothing on it. I said I will pick that up. The sales manager said without batting an eyelid "That car is not ready for sale yet, it needs some prepping". He defined prepping as "something these service guys do, I don't know".
Bottom line, the lowest you will go in DFW market is about $1,500 after adding in all worthless accessories.

I live in Blue Springs and found the same thing you did. I ended up going to Stephen Vincel Honda in St Louis to get my new Honda. No one in KC is even on the same planet with the price I got there. Let me know if you want info.
Please send the details, I would be interested. jsmithy1975 at yahoo.com.
Thanks
Lets all clarify when we say "invoice". Edmunds, for example, lists invoice for different honda models, but it is hard to see if we are all referring to the same source for invoice. We all know that dealers believe "invoice" is a magic number much higher than Edmunds invoice.
RE: dealers who are only going $200 off "invoice". Walk through their lots! Most dealers have very limited amount of Civics but TONS of Accords growing old on the lots. When you see a dealer with lots of Accords, they will deal. You just have to be willing to be strong and start walking for the door when they cant meet your number. When you walk for the door, they will come and get you. Seen it, done it.
I am with you. I am talking about the common published invoice number. Happens to be $20,196, including destination fee for the '07 Accord SE Auto I am looking for. They literally laugh at me if I am adamant and insist on a better deal. I have walked out the door at three dealerships. It doesn't seem to bother them. All three of these dealerships have several Accords in stock.
Thank you very much
Also what is the cheapest price for an accord EX-V6...i am unable to find a great deal on the v6's on this website.
I got a deal for $19,400+ TTL (doc fee was $55) from Honda of Hayward for the car above w wheel locks and grocery net. Got the deal from the internet manager (go to their website for the direct number).
Buying experience:
I first dealt with Capitol Honda in San Jose. I mentioned to the manager that I will do an internet price hunt since they were not giving me a good price. He promised that he will beat any internet price by $300. The lowest internet quote I got was from Honda of Hayward for $19,400. When I went back to Capitol Honda with the price, the manager agreed to the committed price (grudgingly after 45 minutes of disappearing, if I may add), but could not give me the color I wanted. He showed me the list of colors that he had in inventory (just 3). When I selected the color of my choice, he could not find that specific color in his lot. At that time I called Stevens Creek Honda asking if they would match the price ($19,100) and if they had the color of my choice. They said 'yes' to both, but once I showed up at the store, they found different excuses to disagree with their phone commitment.
The next day I asked my friend to call Capitol Honda to check on color option, and low and behold, they had all the colors he wanted!
The two experiences in South Bay left such a bad taste in my mouth that I decided to pay the extra $300 that Honda of Hayward wanted, and get the car from there.
The salesperson threw in the options and a tank of gas for free. The overall experience was good at this dealership.
Stay away from the extended warranty options. Get them online!
Cheers!
I thank Ddwmew and rsabai's info about purchasing the car.
BTW, I am in northern TX.
If it is missing a gasket or seal, you don't want it to get wet.

Thanks!
Go to their website and request a quote.
I recently bought an SE Auto and Planet Honda (Union), Honda of Princeton and Rossi Honda (Vineland) were the other good quotes. I finally bought from Rossi.
It was post #16008. The poster said that Norm Reeves & Santa Ana Honda had same prices. I contacted Norm Reeves ~8/2/07 & was given a price of $17,600 over the phone. Didn't check further. Maybe at the end of this month, prices will come down again - it appears they went up. If I can get 17,200, I'll buy. I'm in Eastern Ventura county area so Norm Reeves is a bit far for me. But will drive if I can get 17,200.

The stock of the lower end models (LX, SE) is dwindling. I saw plenty of EX and EX-L models on the lots, but those are still pricey if you don't need leather and seat heaters (or don't want it in the LA heat) and the other options. Color choices (and combinations) are also getting thin, so waiting will leave many with buying higher end trims in colors they might not like.
Can you verify the dest. charge in the $17,600 price?
I called the Denver dealer today and he said price for an SE I4 Auto is more than $19000 ( I did not bother to get exact price when he said that ) + doc fee ($399) + tax and he suggested that I go buy the car from wherever I got the $17200 price. He even said that he remembers my LX purchase very distinctly and that I did not give him any profit at all ( yeah right!!! ). I understand the concepts of supply and demand, demographics, regional variations, market dynamics, volume discounts and such, yet am simply surprised by the more than $2500 variation in prices from one region to another. Isn't American Honda going to do something about this? It is almost time for a grey market here. Set up shop in MA, take orders from people interested in buying cars at a lower price, get the car from Boch and ship it to the buyer wherever he/she may be in USA. That wouldn't cost more than $800 right?
As other people have suggested here the local dealers in Colorado do think that I am from a different planet when I mention the prices at which cars are selling in MA, Northern VA and Southern CA.
The same person said that many dealers know at this point they are not going to hit the 110% goal, so there is no reason for them to throw their own money into the pot. If this is true, the $2k incentive + $1k kickback = $3k without losing money on the deal. Of course, they could further sweeten it for the reason mentioned earlier. However, if the dealer thinks that he has it already made, there is no reason to go below the 2k mark, or discount even less. It also seems to me that only the larger (volume) dealers will go to the 2K under invoice mark, as smaller dealers work on keeping their margins high and volume low.
Now, there could be other advantages for the dealer to get rid of the cars faster, such as larger allocation of the new models, which will have financial incentives as this dealer will have a larger stock and be more competitive against it's neighboor dealers.

Thanks for your detailed explanation. I have one question though. What is the $2k incentive you are talking about? Who gives that incentive to whom? Is that a rebate from Honda? I thought there are no rebates for Accords at this time.
Thanks
How the heck did you get such a good deal.Wow man hats off to you. I have tried every dealer in this area.Most just laugh it off.Is there a chance I can see a copy of your invoice.You can remove your personal info from it.You can mail me at rjnskr at gmail.I would appreciate it.
For a good idea of the Camry prices, you can use www.fitzmall.com website for inventory details and competitive price points, but recognize that Toyota's in the south will be about 600 more than that because of the SET organization. If you can match Fitzmall, you'll be doing excellent in Greenville.
Fisher Honda also quoted $19,392 for the SE sedan I-4 A/T as the price including all fees with no accessories.
On the EX that I purchased there were $1213 worth (MSRP)of accessories that I wanted and I paid $818 for them.
Across the Front Range of Colorado there was a paucity of Accord sedans in the colors I wanted. This deal was the best I could do in my area. Ralph
Was considering of a 07 Camry CE or LE and have to give up due to the increasing concerns of its transimition and accelaration lag problems.
