    Why did you pay over invoice?
  • roy2001roy2001 Member Posts: 62
    It is 10 model, how can you get it under invoice?

    Just bought a Black on Black 2010 Honda Accord Coupe. EX-L V6
    55 years old and never bought a new car. One thing though helped a lot. Get a Carmax offer to buy!!! They matched it. Before I got that They offered $2000 LESS!!
    I have never found a dealer who will let me walk to "sell my car and come back" after a few hours of haggling and negotiation on the new car

    Paid $28200 plus $300 sales tax (capped at$300 in SC) and $119 fees. Experience was easy and professional. Classy organization.
    East Coast Honda of Myrtle Beach was a fantastic place to do business.Highly recommended. Like anything homework makes things easier. I had no issue paying $1200 over invoice, Bought an EW from Saccucci. F&I guy was using desperation scare tactics to sell me a $1500 warranty. Bought 84/80 Honda Care for $655.

    Honda is disallowing all online warranty sales after Nov 1!! I worry more about motors and electronics than powertrain. Don;t normally buy these things but 4 years wrap for $655 no deductible is reasonable.

    Could I have purchased the car for $500 over invoice? Probably. But My sales guy was good and the dealership was reasonable and deserved the $500 premium. I also paid them $200 for window tinting the car. .

    I wanted the deal done as painlessly as possible. Could I have held out for $250 bucks? Maybe. But to me it wasn't worth it.

    Where are you located, jb? What kind of deals are they offering in your area for 2010's? In my area there are LOTS of 2009's left. To me, around $29K for a loaded 2010 EX-L V6navi is a good deal.

    Sorry if I don't share what appears to be your desire to squeeze the last drop out of the orange.

    Hell I paid well over invoice. The dealership makes the hold back but the sales guys get paid on the profit. When you get a good sales guy. it's worth rewarding them and its nice to walk into the dealership and not be viewed as the grinding cheap [non-permissible content removed].

    I don't believe in squeezing the last drop either, I could have held out and paid $500 over invoice. I am sure they would have sold me the car. I did not like the FI guy and bought the EW online (84/80k Honda care) for $655. He was way to pushy,pulled typical scare tactics and lied...So no bones for him...
  • cmhondacmhonda Member Posts: 31
    The dealership is not going to do a deal if they are not going to make some money.

    Don't you kind of feel like they squeezed every last drop out of you, for paying too much? I'd rather be the cheap [non-permissible content removed] then the sucker who paid too much....

    Not trying to be mean, but....
  • jon0721jon0721 Member Posts: 25
    Nah..I could have done the deal for another $500 off but it wasn't worth it. The last $500 is where the emotional tug of war and discontent enters the picture. Its simply not worth it to me. $500 is not all that much money to get angry about or walk a deal on a car I like and a class operation. They knew, I knew what I was giving them over actual True cost (including the $800 plus holdback) I told them i would. They only had three v6 coupes and no 09s left. I am sure I would not have had a deal at invoice. It's not worth my time or effort to drive 200 miles to maybe save another $500...Its not like Metro areas where there are 5 dealers in a 20 mile radius.......Besides they very reluctantly gave me $9000 for a 2006 HHR ACV...Well over Manheim auction prices......That's pretty generous for a Honda dealer on that car.

    Bottomline It all worked out to the betterment for EVERYONE in the end. We were all happy and thats always the BEST way to do business.

    Many who tout great deals on their cars don't mention the trade the dealer stole from them.....
  • cmhondacmhonda Member Posts: 31
    I understand.

    The dealer gave us 1600 dollars for my husband 99 Alero, with 154K, no AC, windows do NOT roll down and every single dash light was on. I think we did ok. lol

    But we went with a lease, so its like apples to oranges.
  • acedking90acedking90 Member Posts: 1
    So I got offered $19,800 on an 09 LX-P in the color I want....good deal? I'm getting good value for my trade in also!

    How much could I expect for a coupe?
  • jon0721jon0721 Member Posts: 25
    Yeah leasing is another profit center for them, I took 3 years at 1.9% and will pay it off in January. That's why you have to read the information here with suspicion. Too much missing information. How many cars did the dealer have. How close is the nearest competitor. What was the trade. What were the Lease factors. Everyone has something different which makes some pay more and some pay less. We don't pay any more than $300 sales tax so even if i Paid $2000 over invoice I had a better OTD price than someone who paid under invoice in a high tax state.

    Bottomline is decide ahead of time how much profit you are willing to part with based on the ACV you want for the used car and make an offer. That's what I did. I offered $28.5 OTD and expected $9000 for my trade. (A trade they offered $7000 weeks earlier when I had it appraised against the same car at the same offer. I walked the deal but after a few weeks and a Carmax offer they came around.),I really did not want to buy the car out of town and expect preferential service. I know first hand buyers get preferential service over those who bought elsewhere.

    I paid extra for the tinted windows because I would have paid more to get them done anyway an their tint job was far better then the local places around here.

    Rather then be viewed as a "sucker" when I go there, I am sure I will get what I need when I need it because I was fair and did not try to squeeze every penny of profit out of the deal. I went back today to ask a few questions and have a cup of coffee...........It's nice to be greeted with respect rather then contempt when visiting the dealership for service or a favor.

    what do you guys think.. is it good deal.. thanks.
  • tweedledee1tweedledee1 Member Posts: 5
    I bought a 2010 Accord EX-L without navigation OTD at 26,500 with 2.9% financing. I added pinstripe, splash guards and wheel locks. I don't know how much additional navigation would be. I do know that $26,400 OTD for a 2009 would be too much, especially if I got the 2010 for $26,500.
  • kingsfan2kingsfan2 Member Posts: 22
    On the 09, what's was your price before tax & license?
  • altiplanoaltiplano Member Posts: 7
    Is it the OTD? Does it contain the $1500 dealer rebate?
  • maldiniyanmaldiniyan Member Posts: 1
    A local dealer at my city offers $20,300 before TTL for a new 2009 Accord EX trim, and the OTD price is $22,300. How do you guys think? Is this a reasonable price? I also notice that they charge $600 document fee, is that way too high? Thanks for any suggestions!
  • cmhondacmhonda Member Posts: 31
    I know this is apples to oranges but for our lease, our base price was 17,400 for a 2009 Accord LX.

    I have an 06 Oddysey and we paid extra for the DVD and Navigation. Looking back, I will never get another car with Navigation and DVD built in, I will go to walmart and get one, I can update at any time. And for the DVD, I will get one for each kid.....lol
  • gatorbaitergatorbaiter Member Posts: 20

    Yes you are very correct about the incentive they included while doing the paperwork. The guy did $1400 as "auto award incentive" $1000 for special rebate.

    Just for all the bashers out here(who are very weak in negotiating and are in total denial mode about the price I got) anything under $21000 for an EX- Automatic is a "Good Price"....anything above that should be stamped with "over paid"

    With just two emails and no hard negotiations got me the price I paid and my girlfriend still thinks I was dumb to take the deal.

    People can do anything in ignorance, if you know too much you set artificial limits in your head. How much the dealer made on my car will always remain a mystery to me, and that is what I hate about this business. There is TOO MUCH swing in prices paid...just look at this board.

    I still think I could have done better and if someone get and EX-Automatic for under $20500 OTD please post promptly...
  • smartasiansmartasian Member Posts: 5
    " Great Offer!!! Could you email me a copy of the offer you got? ncube2hotmail.com "

    Sure, check your email...

    I'm surprise that they put those incentives in your invoice. I think they usually just put the final sell price and a note "all incentives are included". From time to time, I heard people say that Honda tries to hide their incentives as much as they can. They want people to think that we get good deals on their cars even though there's no incentive.

    It also helps the resale value b/c it makes people who buy used think that they get good deals as well (used car buyers think that new car buyers pay top $$ for the cars).

    Could you also email me a copy of the offer you got? iamaltiplano@gmail.com

    Thank you very much.

    I am living in Houston, and would like to buy a 2010 Accord Coupe EX, what is the invoice price I should expect at this time? Some dealer asked me 24500 for driving out...is that a reasonable price? Thank you so much!
  • jewele888jewele888 Member Posts: 2
    In central NJ, my friend is trying to buy an Accord (I advised him to it because I have loved all my Hondas so much). He was quoted $19,400 before TTL for a 2010 Accord LX. Is this a good price? Also he was given 4.9% financing, isnt there a deal for 2.9% financing on 60 months?
  • ilovenewcarsilovenewcars Member Posts: 4
    Let me know what you guys think of the best deal i can find on a 2010:

    2010 Accord EX-V6 Sedan (no leather or nav) Polished Metal

    MSRP: $27,515

    Their Offer:

    $25,010+TTL,
    out the door price (with everything, including new plates): $27,100

    should i jump on it, or wait a bit?
  • hard_bargainerhard_bargainer Member Posts: 6
    $4 over invoice seems like a good price to me. If you want to try to get a better deal, shop that quote around to more dealers.

    Tomorrow I am picking up a 2010 Accord EX-L V6 Sedan for $600 less than invoice so better deals are possible. Just have to get lucky and find that 1 dealer wanting to reach a quota.
  • postmortempostmortem Member Posts: 15
    definitely wait for 'real' rebates; during most of 2009 it was achievable to do $23K + TTL for such 2009 model
  • kingsfan2kingsfan2 Member Posts: 22
    Can anybody tell me from Northern California what's the best price before TTL that'
    they've been offered for an 09 EXL auto 4cyl? Also might consider one with Nav.
    Anybody have an idea what the min. upcharge would be for the Nav? I'm in
    the Sacramento area but would go to the Bay area for the right price.

    $22,996 @ Elk Grove Honda.
  • phillymikephillymike Member Posts: 13
    So here's an update in case it helps anyone between now and 11/3. Yesterday I started the paperwork on the 2010 EX-L V6 Navi Sedan that I had been discussing here over the past few weeks. Unless my dealer pulls something on Monday evening when I hope to pick up my 'dealer locate' Accord my deal specifics are as follows:
    2010 EX-L V6 Navi Sedan - no dealer options
    2.9% 60 month American Honda Finance loan
    Invoice + $250 dealer locate fee(fluff I suspect)
    + NJ taxes, tags, $250 paperwork fee, etc.

    I will know all the exact figures, which I'll share here, after I actually take delivery of the car. My salesman called me today asking if I can pick it up after 4:00 PM Monday, and I'll try and do just that.

    Planning on showing the Berenardi Warranty printout in case they can take that business. If not I'll be taking care of the Honda Care warranty with Bernardi some time next week.

    Hopefully I am not jinxing myself by stating all of this prior to actually taking delivery but I wanted to get the deal specifics out there in case anyone else is going to try to close a deal before 11/2 or 11/3 as this is supposedly when the financing runs out. And I was all ready for them to tell me that the financing was only for the 2009 Accords, but I am supposedly able to take advantage of this as well for the 2010. We'll see and I hope to share more later next week.

    The dealer is in Burlington, NJ and Alan Q is my salesman.

    Thanks,
    PhillMike

    In Charlotte, NC I bought a new 2009 Accord last week for 17,800 purchase price and out the door at final $19,000.

    I got 6% financing......maybe could have pushed them on the financing but felt like had pushed hard enough. Felt good about the deal

    urrrrh... I think you need to take the location into account. All car price are dictated by local supply and demand. . Just because someone get a really good deal in Southern California where there are probably 10-14 dealerships within 25 miles radius mean very little for someone who live a small town with only one Honda dealer 50 miles away,
  • ebizebiz Member Posts: 2
    not to pile on...but could you please send to me as well. i love in towson and am in the market for the same car you referenced. work in dc and take 29 so easy to get there for me. thanks in advance. erikbissonnette@hotmail.com
  • kingsfan2kingsfan2 Member Posts: 22
    Can anybody in So CA report what the best pricing they've been offered for an 09 4cyl Auto EX-L? Or one with Nav?
  • ailywinailywin Member Posts: 5
    I'm still trying to get an 09 accord lx -p and offered the dealers for 19,500 OTD and not getting it. What's your secret for Dallas TX dealers?

    Thanks

    Hi! just figured i'd add in my quote since seeing them is helpful!

    2010 accord ex-l v6
    honda remote starter (incl. installation)
    side molding (including installation)
    destination included
    $28,000

    NJ

    so, obviously, TTL+ doc charge isn't inlcuded. i still have to see what they give me for a trade in and financing, but overall, good deal?
  • hard_bargainerhard_bargainer Member Posts: 6
    Last Friday I got a 2010 EX-L V6 for $26,750 with free wheel locks and splash guards. On the Honda website looks like body molding and remote start should only add around $700. I think you should be able to get a better deal especially if you wait until the end of the month.
  • overthinkeroverthinker Member Posts: 6
    crap. the reason i thought it was good was because the vehicle itself was $26,555, + 710 destination, so that alone was $27,265.

    the cost on the site doesn't include installation, supposedly.
    the prices i've been quoted for the remote starter installed range from $700-900, and for the side molding, pretty much $279-$299.

    do you know if NJ is offering any incentives? do you think i could get much lower?
    i called around to places in NY and NJ and the quotes i've gotten for the above range from $28,300-$28,800, and that's with me telling them i had a quote for $28,000.

    so i was all proud of my quote lol. but if you think i can do better, maybe i should wait?

    We just purchased a black 09 LX-P 5M $19,800 OTD on 10/31/09 :cry::cry: . This is in Ohio.

    Should have researched this site first :mad: :mad: .
  • mclarrymclarry Member Posts: 21
    seems like the incentives on 09 accords have been extended from the quotes i'm still getting. anyone know the specifics and if they increased?
  • moml111moml111 Member Posts: 6
    Received a quote today on a 2009 accord EX of $21,000 (no rate). MSRP is $25,115. Is this a good price?
  • mclarrymclarry Member Posts: 21
    what do you mean by no rate and is this out the door or before taxes titles and fees?
  • jackurjackur Member Posts: 6
    just drove home a 2009 EX-L yesterday:

    Listed price: $27,115
    Sale price:$22,200
    Tax: 8%
    Registration and title: about $150
    Total paid: $24,126.
  • moml111moml111 Member Posts: 6
    Price before taxes, title and fees. Just was offered 2.9 now.
  • kk26kk26 Member Posts: 8
    Hey hard_bargainer...where are you located?? :)
  • mvpjeffmvpmvpjeffmvp Member Posts: 16
    I was in a NJ Honda Dealership yesterday. I was quoted for a 2010 EX-L V6 WITH Navigation.... $3000 out of pocket at signing, $379/month including Tax, Title, all other Fees. Has anyone gotten a better price? Seems pricey to me.
  • kingsfan2kingsfan2 Member Posts: 22
    Same car I'm looking for. Where are you located?
  • mclarrymclarry Member Posts: 21
    I think you should be able to get it for close to 20k, if not under. I had offers of 20.2 a couple weeks ago and they've come down several hundred since then. though there are a lot of 09 ex's still in my area according to cars.com. I'd email some other dealers and see if they can do better.
