    Hi,
    I am looking for 2007 Accord Seden SE 4cyl-AT, what is the best price in chicago area.

    1)Indiana dealer quote $16800 (including destination) fron

    2)Another dealer in IL is saying $17200 (includes destination)

    Is this is good price? i think they are trying to play a game

    which dealerships are the indiana dealer and the chiago dealer?

    I guess the price could be real if 1) they do not add useless packages 2) it is not demo or 3) they still have cars. Any one can say they are selling VP for 14K because nobody has it.

    its an automatic and it was about 20,564 OTD. check their website for inventory for an idea of what they have left.
  • eclarksoeclarkso Member Posts: 3
    Paid $19,300 OTD ~= 18037 + 7% sales tax at Gwinnett Place outside of Atlanta. $18037 includes dest and TTL--don't remember those exact amounts, though, sorry. Took a bit more time/firmness than I would have liked to get that price, but can't complain too much.

    FWIW, I agree with other posters that say prices may soon start to jump up as inventories draw down. From my observations, that's especially true of the SE/LX (I was waiting on them to get my SE, one previous was sold before I could get it). So if the SE/LX is your thing, get crackin'.

    But seems like most dealers I saw have a TON of EX(-L) inventory, and a good bit of Hybrids and VPs as well. So if you're willing to sacrifice (VP) or splurge (EX/Hybrid) a bit, I think good deals are still to had there for the next few weeks.

    What dealers quoted you a price? I am looking for an LX $cyl AT in Chicago and can't even get a dealer to quote me by email. They all want you to come in.
  • cadenheadcadenhead Member Posts: 25
    Big Mike, I sent the details to your e-mail address. Good luck!

    Ah, PROFIT...what an ugly word!

    You can beat this up any way you want to and analyze it to death but in the end, it's always the prevailing MARKET that determines pricing.

    The 2008 Accord! Talk about a home run hit!

    Thanks to all for he postings I've negotiated a final price on a 2007 Graphite Pearl V6 with Navi of $25,000. The car still has not come into the dealer so they only have my security deposit and I'm wondering if I can get them to lower the price a little if they don't find the color we want. I saw some other posting that listed this same car for closer to $24000. I hope I didn't pay too much. Thanks again to all for the information.
  • isellhondasisellhondas Member Posts: 20,342
    2200.00 below invoice and you still want more?

    " I hope I didn't pay too much"

    I'm sure someone will come along and tell you you did.

    You did fine!

    Please send dealer info, I'm in Houston also, thanks!

    I test-drove a 2007 4-cylinder Accord EX-L, AT, no nav, today at my local dealer in South Carolina. I was quoted a price of about $24,300 OTD, which is more than I want to pay right now with the '08s almost here. They eventually came down to invoice plus destination and TTL, making it about $23,300 OTD. I don't have to buy right now, so I passed, fully realizing that if I wait too long, I probably won't wind up with exactly the color or features that I'm looking for.

    My question is this: Most of the posts here about buyers getting $1,000 under invoice, $1,500 under invoice, $2,000 under invoice, etc., seem to be coming from metro areas with lots of Honda competition. I'm in a small town with one dealership here but three more within a 90-minute drive. I've yet to receive a quote under invoice, and given that there isn't an abundance of competition in my area, am I likely to? I figured that buying an '07 within days of the arrival of the '08s was my best chance to do that, but it appears that dealers here don't feel they have to.

    Thanks for your thoughts on this.

    The lowest OTD price I got for 2007 Accord LX auto in Atlanta area is $19,100. Prices seem to be non negotiable on these cars. Does this look OK? Tax is 7%. Thanks.
  • isellhondasisellhondas Member Posts: 20,342
    My thoughts?

    You waited too long. That is probably the most desirable model and inventories are down to nothing on these.

    The best discounts were in July when we had lot of cars in stock. Prices will go up as inventories disappear.

    Also, don't belleve all of the "prices paid" that you read about on the internet.

    Hey- thank you to this forum, I'm not in Houston but any Phoenix, AZ buyers check out Tempe Honda. I've been trying to close a deal on a 2007 Accord EX-L V6/ no navi for more than 2 months at a price I was told by a very local Mesa dealership as being impossible. Thanx to finding your info posted here yesterday a.m., I found out I was not out to lunch and walked in to the Tempe Dealership yesterday afternoon and purchased my black /ivory Accord for $23,500 which inc. destination fee and some kind of protection coating/mats package cost. They were several thousands cheaper than the Mesa Dealership's supposedly discounted primo price offering. I am pleased...... J.

    This means good things for those who pay cash for a car. I'll wait until the week between Christmas and New Year's with checkbook, or cashier's check in hand. I've bought a number of cars during this time period, and it's the absolute best time to negotiate a good deal. Having been a new car salesman at one time, there is practically no foot traffic in the showroom during this period - everyone blew their budget on Christmas gifts!
  • suomynona1suomynona1 Member Posts: 7
    Could someone please tell me a good price for a [2007 Accord EX-L V6 with Nav]? I am getting a quote for $25,000 including destination plus TTL & accessories in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. I would like to get the car within the next day or two.

    Thanks!
  • isellhondasisellhondas Member Posts: 20,342
    What are you talking about???

    I can't believe you were in the business!

    The week between Christmas and New Year's is BY FAR, the busiest week of the year!! NOBODY takes a day off that week! This will be my 12th year in the business and that is a week we never stop running!

    Anybody in the business knows this!

    "No idea on pricing at this point.

    That would be one oddball car that few dealers would take a chance on ordering. You might want to think about the desirability of such a car when you go to sell it down the road.

    A five speed NAVI is almost saleproof!"

    I'd be leasing, and i don't think it's that off the wall, i mean Honda does make the car don't they? This is why i'm attracted to the Accord because it's the only non-luxury car I can get with Leather, Navi, and a 5speed. The only other one is the Altima but it's only in the V6 and then it's like 32K.

    My brother has an 06 in this configuration, course he had to order it and it took 3 months to come in.

    Do you think it would be a good idea to contact a dealer now and get them to order it? Or should i wait until it officially comes out so i can get pricing as i'd want to negotiate the price before i agreed to order the car.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  • isellhondasisellhondas Member Posts: 20,342
    There is nothing WRONG with a 5 speed NAVI Accord but they sure don't sell very well. I am surprised they even offer these but I suppose they will be back in 2008?

    Yeah, they are pretty "off the wall" but, if you're leasing one you don't have to worry about it. Jsut walk away from it when the lease ends.

    I would contact your local dealer and let them know you want one of these. I assume they will continue to offer them in 2008. That dealer will probably want a deposit and hope like heck you don't back out of the deal and leave them stuck with it.

    The dealer, at that point can add it to their next allocation and you will, no doubt have to wait until enough orders accumulate for Honda to build a batch. Hopefully you will pick a popular color.

    You can have your dealer pull a "locate". That way they will be able to see if another store has one of these incoming. It is possible with the other stores permission to get it diverted to another store.

    The store's biggest fear would be that you would change your mind and leave them sitting on it so make sure they know you are totally serious.

    That might be a WestCoast thing. Over the years I've been in a number of dealerships the week after Christmas (all typically east coast), and they can be very dead....particularly if it's cold/rainy/snowy.
  • isellhondasisellhondas Member Posts: 20,342
    Well, it gets cold, wet and sometimes snowy here too and that is still ALWAYS, the busiest week of the year.

    Other places may vary I suppose?

    I would think if you truly sell Hondas you would at the very least know what trim levels of Accords are being sold in 2008.

    I've been contacting some dealers this week to begin talks on a 2008 model and sometimes its amazing how little they know about the release.

    If you're interested, you can brush up on your knowledge here:

  • isellhondasisellhondas Member Posts: 20,342
    Well, I sell as many Accords as anyone does and I have NEVER ONCE sold a 5 speed NAVI so I guess I'm not all that fired up to see if they will be available in 2008.

    I assume they will be and they may sell better in other parts of the country where there is less traffic and fewer hills to contend with.
  • kiawahkiawah Member Posts: 3,666
    What additional dealler fees are there? Is it just tax, tag, and license to get out the door?
  • vital411vital411 Member Posts: 67
    Is anyone else here with me? I hate automatics, no fun to drive, and I want a car with all the bells and whistles along with my fun, what's wrong with that?

    Acura Sells TLs and TSXs in this same setup, just with the A instead of the H and for 1,000s more.

    I am interested in an LX 4 cyl at. Can you contact me at DDiaz540@sbcglobal.net with some contact info. Looking to buy this Friday.
  • batrachianbatrachian Member Posts: 13
    Hi,

    I am also in the Houston area, and shopping for an EXL V6. Can you please email me the info of the dealership? Thank you so much. My email address is pin2000_01@yahoo.com, or you can email me to my carspace account. Thanks!!!
  • jonpagejonpage Member Posts: 25
    This board has been very helpful in finding the market price for me. Many of you may have noticed my rants and even the fact that I had bought a Nissan Altima. Well, the Altima deal fell apart just before delivery because a mistake I made in selecting the options. The dealership was very amicable in letting me out.

    Today, I signed a deal for 2007 Accord EX-L-V6. I paid $23,500 including pin-stripes, wheel locks, trunk tray and splash guards. OTD in Dallas is $25,200 including 6.25% tax, and about $225 total in T&L and doc fees.

    Maybe could have saved about $200-$300 more, but that was a mere $5-$7 in monthly savings on a 60 month loan. Not worth it for me. The car has less than 20 miles on it.

    I noticed that all dealerships in DFW are almost out of the EX and lower models. I only wanted the EX-L-V6, so I was fine. The lots are overflowing with EX-L-V6, sort of.

    No one said there is anything wrong with that... just that they are hard to find. I'm quite happy with my 06 Accord EX-L w/Navi... and I4 5 spd manual. :shades:

    You may have to search or order it but if it is what you want, go for it.

    What is the best possible deal for Honda Accord 2007 EX-L Navigation?

    Please reply to this querry. Thanks in Advance.
  • chirocatchirocat Member Posts: 73
    I agree. The dealers make them artificially scarce by saying that they sit on the lot (when it's probably because they order the worst color). They are trying to force automatics down the throats of enthusiast drivers, but I refuse to submit. If I can't find a 07 EX-L V-6 6M with Navi, I'll just order an 08 Altima or jump up to a Type-S TL.

    I have driven some of these "manu-matics" and they stink. I had more trouble driving the buttons than I did leaving it in drive. <My right arm and legs are hard wired for shifting I think, and my poor circuits fry when trying to shift with a button and no left foot. The 07 Accord 6M is a fine Q ship, a solid, practical and reliable everyday driver that is fun to drive....great combo! Unfortunately the auto-weenies apparently killed the manual for the 08 accord sedan according to the Honda website. :mad:
  • chirocatchirocat Member Posts: 73
    We need to share info, the best I have so far in DFW is $25,900, (in a central location) but that was a month ago when I was getting started. I talked with one dealer in another town who won't go below $26,900 tho, I guess they will be sitting on those 07's for a bit. If I wanted to pay "invoice" I'm sure I could get that on plenty of 08 models out there. I am partly motivated to buy an 07 Accord because of the "deals" out there like $2000 under invoice. I can't see a point to paying invoice for a car that will be "outdated" next week when the 08's arrive. :confuse:
  • colloquorcolloquor Member Posts: 482
    Perhaps at a Honda store this is correct, but not where I worked, and many others. My cousin is a salesperson at a large multi-brand store (Toyota/Scion/Mazda/VW/Chrysler/Hyundai/Kia/Mitsubishi), and he states it's the slowest time of the year as well.

    You must be in California - things are different here. After Christmas, few have money available for a car purchases, plus who wants to go out into sub-zero weather, and bunches of snow on the ground. Again, you must be in a fair weather state with high disposable income. It isn't the case here! Showrooms are absolutely dead during this time of the year.
  • isellhondasisellhondas Member Posts: 20,342
    No, I'm not in California. I escaped California.

    I'm in Washington State where we get lots of rain, cold and sometimes snow.

    This is by far, the busiest week of the year. Nobody takes a day off and 12 hour days are the norm.
  • isellhondasisellhondas Member Posts: 20,342
    There is nothing wrng with that at all and I never said there was.

    I simply stated that compared to automatic, five speeds are VERY slow sellers for several different reasons.

    Dealers don't like to order cars that are slow sellers and cars that are slow sellers as new cars are even worse sellers as used cars.

    People considering buying one should know that. If that isn't an issue for them than they should proceed and buy what they want.

    Six speed Maximas were dropped this year too because of dismal sales.

    Labor Day weekend should be great for Accord buyers. Has anyone heard of any super special deals for this weekend?
  • jeffanddanajeffanddana Member Posts: 1
    Please let me know the detailed dealer/salesman information. My email is jefmorris[at]mdanderson.org

    By the way, does this deal include the $1500 incentive that is in effect until 9/4?

    Thank you!

    A McKinney dealer sent me something about "upto $2500 below invoice on 2007 Accords". Currently following up with them.

    My best so far has been $24,783 from a dealer in the DFW area.
  • ringmasterringmaster Member Posts: 12
    Im in the Houston area and checked with the smaller dealers in a 150 mile radius. As the sales manager in college station told me, "we would never offer the kind of discounts you are talking about and don't have too". Get on the internet with the dealers in the closest big town.

    Just received an E-mail from Laurel, MD Honda dealer that stated 0% interest on any Accord in stock.
  • statelineccstatelinecc Member Posts: 5
    Actually, checking with a dealer in a bigger city is exactly what I did, and I got a deal I'm happy with - about $22,300 OTD for the '07 Accord EX-L, AT, in the color I wanted. The local dealer matched the competitor's offer with a car on the lot, so I kept my money in town without sacrificing anything on the deal. That's what I had hoped to do.
  • grmercgrmerc Member Posts: 2
    how can a car be out dated if you wouldn't feel good about paying invoice for a brand new '08. are those already outdated, even though they've not even hit the lots yet? I'll bet your 2005 is still worth clean retail when you go to trade it in huh? The '07's you'll be able to find on lots by the end of October are the 5 speed lx's.
  • spdracerspdracer Member Posts: 9
    Anyone else confirm this on the east coast??? As of a couple days ago the only specials through AHFC was 4.9% for 60 months for the 07 V-6's only. Is AHFC offering the low rate and if so for how man months was the 0% good for??Sounds to good to be true..
