    You get a 3 month trial if your new Accord has the XM radio built-in (2004 Accord EX-L 2.4, and EX V6 models). I didn't bother with it for 3 months because I drive so little; however, I planned a 1200+ mile trip from Xmas thru Jan. 1st and thought I'd use the trial on the road. I bought the car in late August and started the XM trial in mid December.

    I didn't discuss the purchase date with XM when I called to set it up--when you give them a radio code number from you car's radio, they know it's for the trial and won't ask you for a credit card or anything else. After you call them with your code, you'll take the car for a drive and in less than an hour all the channels will load--call their phone # shown in the Accord manual, or go to XM on the internet.

    My 3 month trial will be up next month and even though I really don't need XM for the little driving I do, I might want to buy an XM radio to connect to my home stereo system. Unfortunately, each radio requires a separate subscription, but the first subscription for the car will be $10 monthy and other radio $7, so there is a discount for multiple radios in your family.

    If you do much driving you'll really like XM--the sound quality is superb and the commercial-free, extensive programming will get you hooked.........richard

    Hi Elisa2U, I will let you know what I come up with. Sounds like Metro does not need the business.

    Hey HARPOO if you still got your ears on, Can you advise what dealership in Riverside you received this deal from?
  • scottdudescottdude Member Posts: 177
    richards38: thanks for that XM info!

    Here's another question for all: I just priced an EX auto with leather and navi on Edmunds and the coupe came out at MSRP $26,890 and the sedan at $26,790. But there was a BIG difference on the TMV price:

    Coupe: $24,614 ($370 over invoice)
    Sedan: $25,047 ($893 over invoice)

    Other than the two extra doors, why would the sedan cost so much more? Do these prices sound accurate?
  • atlantabennyatlantabenny Member Posts: 735
    ...and demand is probably your answer. More buyers want the 4-door's practicality.

    Pre-owned coupe resale is also lower for the same reason. The 6-speed, being somewhat of a niche (enthusiast) model, might be the exception. My hunch is that the TMVs are accurate.

    That said, a dealer with a high inventory of coupes will be willing to deal more. I'd drive around the dealers in the area to see who has more coupes than most. At month-end, I'd negotiate with them. You're likely to get the price you want (try $500 or so below invoice).

    Don't want to get too off topic here, but...

    When listening to XM, I know the Accord displays the station name, but will it display the song name & artist, like the stand-alone satelite systems do?
  • nw1997nw1997 Member Posts: 227
    YES, it will display it.
  • blaneblane Member Posts: 2,017
    Yes, the XM will display the song name and artist..... BUT, you will miss it if you don't have your eye on the display at the exact start of the track. Once you are into the piece, I know of no way to recall the information.

    Luckily, the display is high enough on the dash to not require you to divert your eyes too much from driving. I'll bet that there have been a few crashes though. It's a distraction.

    Anyone have dealer invoice on this?

    At least on the 04 model with the stock XM you can press the disp button and it will cycle between station number, station name, genre, name, and title...

    My brother in law in Calgary is considering buying 2.4L LX-G 5 speed automatic Honda Accord. The MSRP on this including freight is $27,195. What is the best price that people in Canada are getting on this car?...any information is greatly appreciated!
  • blaneblane Member Posts: 2,017
    In my post #3799 I goofed. Actually, in 2004's with Navigation, when you press the AUDIO button while in the XM radio mode, you see the channel name, number, artist and title. They all remain on-screen until the next title/program/song, etc. comes on.

    Was your trade in a V6 or V4 and did it have leather. Also, when did you mention that you were trading in your 99 Ex? after you finalized the price of your new 04 EX V6 I assume?
  • wiseone2wiseone2 Member Posts: 15
    I drove an Acura TSX auto. first, stiff
    ride didn't really like the 4 cyl. with
    the automatic trans. dealer wanted top price, so no deal. Then I drove the Accord
    EX V6, much better ride, smoother engine,
    less money! Here in So. WI dealer offered:
    $24322. Plus $1000. over blue book for my
    trade, a trouble prone Nissan Pathfinder.
    This was his first offer, Pathfinder is only
    2 y/o, so I told him I wanted to think
    about it, he said ok, no pressure. Just
    trying to estimate Accords resale in one or
    two years kinda hard when the dealers are
    discounting so much off msrp. Luv the car
    though.
  • json717json717 Member Posts: 8
    Blane,

    I'm curious how you were able to get such as great deal on your 04 EX, you said $750 below invoice? Wish to share your secret?
  • drivn1drivn1 Member Posts: 6
    After several very miserable dealership experiences in the DC area, to include having my keys held hostage and trying to be forced to initial for my commitment...I may have actually secured a reasonable deal, but would like input please?

    Silver '04 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L 4 Cyl
    Price: 21256
    Frieght: 490
    Processing: 249
    Spoiler: 530
    Subtotal 22525
    tax 713
    DMV 10
    New Tags 33
    Tax 3.168475%

    TOTAL: 23290.20 OTD

    Any comments. It is about $700 below invoice.

    I would like to know how others would compare the 4 Cylinder vs. 6? I was looking at the V6, however drove the V4, thought it still had get up and go. And thought that for $1800 less, it was worth it and could live without it. I currently own a '95 Accord EXL -- Manual, w/ 168,000 miles on it (original clutch too!) that runs great. But I just moved to the DC metro area and have a feeling that, I am going to grow weary of this very quickly! Also when trying to deal on a trade, they appraised my car at $100 to $800. Buyers beware, this is definately a scam. I knew what it was worth, TMV fair dealer trade in. When I pulled the car out of the equation from the horrid dealerships, their tune/price sure changed quickly.

    One other note I have is I received quotes for $25,200 OTD for the EX-L V6 with pinstripes/wheelocks/splashguards/spoiler/moonroof visor - honda factory/installed. Email me at motivated1@cox.net if you would like the names of these dealerships in the area. It is definately a game, but the internet and email is the car buyer's best friend!

    Thanks for all your posts, I have learned so much!

    Congratulations on the new car. It sounds like you got a great deal. Please share the names of the dealerships where you had problems and the one where you ended up buying--it's permissable on the forum. I recently got an 04 EX V6, but the I4 is a great engine as well. I test drove both and would have been happy with either one.

    When I emailed several dealers around me, they knew I had done my homework so they didn't BS me on price. The 3 price quotes were 20700, 20500 and 20200 + tax for 2004 ex coupe 4 cylinder, auto transm. I think it's somewhere around the invoice price. finally bought one for 20200+tax and got free moonroof visor and splash guard.
  • drivn1drivn1 Member Posts: 6
    Well, I just received this email for the EX V6, in my heart of hearts I think I really want the V6, but the EX 4 Cy is good too. However, this is the deal I was offered again in the Northern Virgina area, I haven't seen the San Marino Red, so I will go check it out tonight, 'cause that is the color I think I truly want. Anyone think this is a good deal?

    From an earlier email, our price is as follows:
    We can offer you a 2004 Accord EX V6 Coupe with automatic transmission in
    Desert Mist, Graphite or Red for $25,287.04 out-the-door including the rear
    wing spoiler, moonroof visor, mud flaps, pin stripes, door edge guards, wheel
    well guards and wheel locks.
    We do have the car in stock. It has 4 miles on it. I checked with our Parts
    Department and they said that we have the moonroof visor in stock but not the
    rear wing spoiler. It will need to be ordered and will take a week to get
    here.

    Tell met what you think. Dealerships that have been difficult for me have been College Park and Ourisman Honda. Bill Page has been the nicest, not as pressuring, but have not been able to match other price with all the extras included, and don't have the desired color -- although they said the can get it. They operate on a different business model, not volume dealer.

    You can see details about my deal in my posts #3541, 3553 and 3558. I hope that you do as well or better.
  • excl2005excl2005 Member Posts: 23
    I'm looking at buying a pre-owned, certified 2003 Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe but get sick to stomach by looking at all of the dealer's ridiculous asking prices!

    For all tends and purposes, this year's model will be two years old by October 2004, knowing the fact that come around October 2004 the 2005 Honda Accords will be rolling out across the country into every Honda dealership's parking lot.

    I'm hoping prices will at least be at or below the $20K mark at the end of May 2004.

    Something has to give, right?
  • isellhondasisellhondas Member Posts: 20,342
    The pricing can't be too "ridiculous" or the cars won't sell. All Hondas hold their resale EXTREMELY well. Shoppers who expect to save thousands on a year old Honda are usually disappointed.

    There will be a savings, to be sure, but not what you expect.

    These aren't fast depreciating domestics.

    There are also costs involved with certifing a used Honda that must be passed along.

    Good Luck!

    I just took delivery of a graphite accord EX-V6 w/o nav for 25400 out the door in northern california. do u guys think I paid a reasonable price.
  • jmaxejmaxe Member Posts: 198
    I still like my OTD price of $23,873 for the EX V6 w/o NAV. Brought it home and added tint, flaps, cargo net and pinstriping and I'm still under $24,250.
  • ash000000ash000000 Member Posts: 5
    Car - 23386
    Doc - 45
    Tax - 1757
    Reg - 211
    -----------------

    Total - 25400 I bought it from internet sales manager at a honda dealer in sonoma county. Salesperson was very friendly and let me test drive the car alone w/o even me asking for it.
  • johnny420johnny420 Member Posts: 473
    I think you mean "for all intents and purposes," and you can currently purchase a 2004 EX V6 sedan at or below invoice.

    As isellhondas says, it'd probably cheaper in the long run to buy a new 2004 than try and find a certified pre-owned 2003. Your resale down the line will be higher on the 2004, too.

  • johnny420johnny420 Member Posts: 473
    If your price includes destination charge, which I assume it does, you got a really good deal, well below invoice.

  • excl2005excl2005 Member Posts: 23
    It all about substitutes. I can easily shift from the overpriced 2003 Honda Accord EX V6, coupe to the Toyota Camry Solara SE Coupe or the 2003 Nissan Altima SL 4-door sedan.

    *** These two models got equal rating from the annual Consumer Reports car review!***

    Shoot, right now, I can get myself a 2001 Acura CL 3.2 Type-S with a new transmission - to boot - for the same darn price as a pre-owned certified 2003 Honda Accord EX V6 coupe.

    These Honda dealers can continue to ask these ridiculous prices hopefully with the understanding that the customer has many comparable options out there in this "depressed" auto market. EACH UNTO THEIR OWN.

    Finally, I don't by this "logic" that the Honda Accord retains its value forever. Therefore, the customer must bend over and grab the ankles when buying a Honda! Give me a break!
  • richards38richards38 Member Posts: 606
    The deals I've seen recently posted here at or slightly below invoice are very good deals on superb cars.

    Please bear in mind, however, that the 2004 model year is just about half over. If you'd expect a year-end discount of about 10%, then a $24K Accord should be about $1,200 cheaper now than it was 6 months ago when the model year started.

    Maybe Accords won't be discounted quite that much during their August clearance sale, but prices should be moving lower now.

    The relationship between time of year and price will be affected by many things--dealer inventories (supply), demand for new cars in Spring weather after a severe winter, etc. But all else equal, the deals should be getting better.

    Those of you asking if your deal is good can be confident that if your pre-tax/license price is at invoice, or any amount below invoice, your deal is quite good IMO.........Richard
  • isellhondasisellhondas Member Posts: 20,342
    You don't have to be vulgar to express yourself.

    Please understand something...cars that are "overpriced" won't sell. What you do not consider to be a good value will be appealing to someone else.

    You are probably correct. that Acura TL is probably worth around the same thing as a two year newer certified V-6 Accord. this really doesn't mean anything.

    Since you feel so strongly about this, you should probably buy something other than a Honda anyway.

    Like you said...to each his own.
  • ash000000ash000000 Member Posts: 5
    Yes, My price included destination charges.
  • drivn1drivn1 Member Posts: 6
    Well, after a harrowing week, of haggling and dealer shopping, I finally got my dream car! Based on my previous posts, I had 2 very miserable experiences at Ourisman and College Park Honda. I went to Bill Page, they tried to talk me into a 4-cyl, in Silver, every dealer pushed silver on me. When I asked for the white or red. I was getting frustrated, and had been doing the emailing to dealers. Which yielded several offers. I received one from Hendrick Honda for $27,300. After coming back to them with the others I had up to that point $25,500 out the door, w/ rear wing spoiler/moon visor/door guards/splash guards/wheel locks. They came back with $25,299. And had red. Well that interested me, I really just wanted to see the red. I went there, Richard Takahashi. He was a true gentleman and professional. He did not pressure me in anyway. He brought out the car, which was still in all the plastic, with 4 miles on it. He pulled it into the service station so I could look at the car up close (it was night). We took it for a test drive. I just love the V6 -- just seemed a little smoother and obviously more powerful than the four cylinder. I also immediately noticed, they do use TRUE Geniune Honda Factory parts, the pin stipes had the H logo -- which I find classy! He knew I liked the car, however my husband is in Afghanistan right now and I wanted to double check with him. He said that was a good idea, it was the only car they had in stock. He said he would park it back in a spot where others wouldn't see it, because the manager wouldn't take a deposit on a car in stock...only incoming cars. Well, less than 24 hours later, I just decided this was an awesome deal....the exact car I wanted (the only one I probably will ever buy...brand new) so I decided I didnt want to compromise. I emailed him, it was his day off but he came later in the evening and within an hour 1/2 the car was mine. He was honest with me, said the guest services would be speaking with me (but dont' feel pressured to by the warranties and extras) he was quite the character. He showed me how their prices compare to from internet sales versus retail customers. For your informaiton, you can get the EX V6 Coupe, for 24,500, and there the cars come with the pinstripes/wheellock/splashguards/door guards standard, in that price. The spoiler and moon visor drove my cost up. But it is still hundreds under invoice. Another woman told me they don't give these prices to anyone but internet customers. But the salesman was telling me why the sell them at least Accords like this, becaue the more they sell, the more HOnda will send them the big ticket items, Pilot/Odessy etc. The financing was a snap, I came in with a pre-approved loan already for 3.9% from USAA, and put 4200 down. The finance lady, Dia just processed my paperwork, not pressured into anything else, she even helped me. She told me to call USAA and tell them that she offered the HOnda financing at 3.75%, which she said she would, and I ending up doing that and USAA did lower it to 3.75%. I asked her if she thought I got a good deal, and she flipped open the folder with my info and said look at this and it had <1069> in brackets...she she said. They took a 1000 loss to sell you this car. Is that the truth, I don't know, but invoice is $23,844 and if you factored in fees/ttl/ w/o any extras that is already over $25K so I believe it was pretty good. Overall a great experience. I have learned so much. Ourisman sent me a quote a little lower than this, but these guys were horrible and I told them I didn' appreciate the way they treated me, so they kept bugging me, wanting to EARN my business. Here is the offer from Ourisman, 2004 Honda Accord EX V6 automatic coupe

    Wheel locks
    Mud guards
    Fender trim
    Sun visor
    Door edge
    Floor mats
    Pin stripes
    Honda spoiler

    $25,200 Total delivered price
     But I know for fact the pinstripes there are not Honda factory. Beware they will steal your keys and try to make you initial a price to show your "commitment" before talking to the manager. Based on this site, I was well informed, stood my ground and I feel walked a way with a beautiful car. I don't have it yet, I left it to get the spoiler/moon visor mounted. The dealership even offered to come pick me up in Pentagon City and take me to Woodbridge to get the car, now that is service! So if I could offer this to anyone, do your homework --- these prices are a good baseline for you to begin with, you know that dealers are willing to go this low. I think it is also very advantageous to have the finacing going in, definately less hassle.

    When I am finally cruising in my new ride, I will keep everyone posted.

    Thanks again to everyone for their sharing this is a great resource, with a wealth of knoweldge.

    I just purchased my new Accord on Jan 30, 2004. I live in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC. I wanted to share my buying experience and results with this community since I used much of the information found here to help me make my purchase.

    First, I decided that I wanted to buy the 2004 Accord LX 4 DR Sedan 4 cyl 5 spd AT with Dual Side Airbags (CM5644EW). I then began to prepare an email/Fax attack to the dealers.

    First I put together a list (Yellow Pages, Honda.com, etc.) of about 25 Washington, DC area (within 50 miles) Honda dealerships in both Maryland and Virginia. I spent an hour or so calling the dealerships one afternoon and asked for two things: 1) the dealership FAX number and 2) to speak with the Internet department. I then asked the person that answered for an email address of a person in that department to send a request for a price bid on a new car.

    I then created a letter titled "Request For New Car Bid" and emailed it to the dealer Internet department email addresses.

    I said in the letter that I wanted to buy a 2004 Accord LX 4 DR Sedan 4 cyl 5 spd AT with Dual Side Airbags (CM5644EW) preferably in Graphite with Eternal Blue and Silver being second and third choices. I stipulated that I would accept no demonstrator vehicles and only ones with less than 30 miles on it. I asked them to provide me with an itemized list of costs and fees and a total "Out the Door" price on the vehicle and gave them two days to respond.

    After the first day, I got a fair amount of responses in several different ways. Some replied by email only, others by telephone only and some by both methods. Those dealers that I received no response from were then faxed the letter to the attention of "The Sales Manager or The Internet Sales Manager." The next day I received bids from some of these as well.

    Also, on the second day I had some of the first day responders calling to see if we could do business. I told a couple of them that they did not have the lowest bid. Nearly all responded that they would "beat" the lowest bid.

    I had priced the vehicle on Edmunds and other services and knew that MSRP (including Destination Charges) for this Vehicle was $20,840 and Invoice was $18,808. Subtract the Holdback of $610.50 and you had a True Dealer Cost of $18,197.50. Dealer Processing Fees in Virginia ranged from $220 to $499. Maryland Processing Fees are limited to $100. Virginia Tax is 3.2% (the .2% goes to the locality if purchased in VA just 3% if purchased in MD) and VA tags and Title Fees for two years are $75.50.

    Ultimately, on the fifth day after sending out the bid request, I bought the car from a Maryland Dealer, about a 40 minute drive from my home in Virginia, for a total of $18,480.90, OTD. Plus, this dealer had already installed Pin Stripes, Mud Guards and Wheel Locks and included them in the OTD price. The deal breaks down as follows:

    Selling Price $17,262.33
    Destination $ 490.00
    Total Price $17,752.33

    Processing $ 100.00
    VA Tax (3%) $ 535.57
    Tag & Title $ 93.00 (included MD Temp Tag)

    TOTAL $18,480.90

    If I am calculating correctly, this amounted to $345.17 BELOW True Dealer Cost (plus the value of the dealer added extras). In the event that this "deal" had disappeared upon my arrival at the dealership there were at least three other dealers that would have matched that price (one would have actually beaten it by $15 but only had my second color choice).

    Apparently the reason for such a deal was that I just hit a "perfect storm" where sales were slow in January, it was the end of the month and we had two snow storms early that week. Also, one of the dealers told me that the likely reason the other dealer was selling below cost was because Honda requires it's dealers to sell 62% of its cars as Civics and Accords in order to get it's allocation of the hot selling, in demand vehicles like the Pilot and Odyssey, CRV, etc., where they can often sell for above MSRP. In other words, they were gambling that in the long run they would be better off in the end by selling this vehicle below their cost to me.

    Whether or not this is true I do not know but it makes sense to me and I understand that each dealer has his own set of economic conditions going for them as well as the elements of supply and demand to consider when deciding on making any deal. Sometimes these conditions can work for the consumers advantage and sometimes against. This time it just happened to be to my advantage.

    The only snag that I encountered was while preparing to sign the Buyers Order and discovering that it included a mandatory binding arbitration agreement. Before I went to the dealership, I told the Internet sales consultant that I would not sign a contract that contained such a clause. She checked with the F&I boss who told her that there wasn't one included in their paperwork. However it turned out to be in there. Fortunately, because I had read this consumer site (http://www.dcu.org/streetwise/feb2003.html ) and others like it, I knew more about the issue than they did and refused to sign until it was struck from the agreement. After a few minutes of discussion between the sales consultant and the F&I boss they agreed to strike that clause from the agreement.

    Well thats my story, Happy car buying to you all. (Two weeks and no dings yet!!!)
  • jmaxejmaxe Member Posts: 198
    What a great story and a primer on how to go about getting a super deal. I too hit the January buying window for Accords. I asked for a quote via the dealer's web site from a San Antonio, TX dealer(100 miles away) who is reputed to be a hard line "no haggle price" store. The first response to my request for an EX-V6 w/o NAV was $22,250 or $1,994 BELOW INVOICE(+TTL from dealer stock). What's to haggle? They had the color I wanted so the next morning I test drove the car, declined the protection package and warranty upsell attempts, did the paperwork on a 3.9%/60 mos. loan and drove it home. Have since added splash guards, tint, cargo net and custom pinstriping for an add'l $349. I'm still driving my end-of-lease '01 Maxima for another couple of weeks but I can't wait to let my new EX out of the garage. This was, by far, my easiest car purchase in 30 years.

    I'm trying to purchase a 04 Accord V6 4 Door Sedan with Navigation System in NJ. The best price I got so far is $25,733 with destination included plus tax,tags, and license fees. Is this a good deal? I am not trading anything in. Should I ask the dealer to throw in some accessories such as floor mats or a trim kit? The invoice of this car is $25,551. I added destination($490), subtracted holdback(~$800) and added about $100 for ads fees to get a optimum purchase price of $25300 plus tax,tags,and license. Are there better states to buy a car from than NJ?
  • scottdudescottdude Member Posts: 177
    The last few posts mentioned a dealer "holdback". Where do you find this kind of information?
  • h0udinih0udini Member Posts: 118
    If you are willing to pay cash for your car instead of financing it, should the price be reduced?

    jmaxe:

    Do you mind my asking if you bought your car at Gunn Honda? I attempted to buy an Accord Coupe V6 6MT from them last month and the price also was $22,250. Unfortunately, the car was black with black leather interior. Had it been white or silver, I would have bought.
  • ramped1ramped1 Member Posts: 159
    Cash deals aren't always desirable to dealers. They make a big chunk of change selling your financing to their lenders.

    On the other hand, if you have the cash, they know they'll have a deal if you strike a price. From what I've read on these posts, each way has its advantages.
  • jmaxejmaxe Member Posts: 198
    Gunn Honda is correct.

    I told them right up front that I was trading. However, first I sat down and discussed the price of the new car. Then they took my car, offered me 6000.00, I told them no way. They gave me invoice on the new car, I told them what I hoped to pay for the new car with the trade. I picked up a calculator, put in the new car price, subtracted 6500.00 and showed them the calculator and said, you get to this price and I'll buy the car. They said they'll have another guy look at the car because it really wasn't worth that much. I told them I don't need a new car, my 99 is in great shape and I'll be happy to drive it for another 150,000 miles. (It did need new tires and an oil change.) The guy walked away and I told my spouse well, I guess I'll be getting new tires on Saturday and the hell with car payments.
    They suddenly came back and said "lucky thing we checked out the other guy, cause he'll give you 6500.00 for the 99.
    Some advice, before you accept the price of the new car, tell them you want whatever accessories your looking for. I really wish I had negotiated them into the price. After buying the car, they won't go down on the price.
    Good Luck!!
    I love the car and am really digging XM radio.

    Haven't heard from anyone but wanted to know what they thought of the price I received of $25,257 OTD (all fees/ttl/destination/processing) for the '04 Accord Coupe EX-V6 with spoiler, moon visor, splash guards, pin stripes, wheel locks, fenderwell trim, door guards, and cargo net (all FACTORY Honda parts). Just to let anyone know in this area, I have been receiving alot of email offers since I initiated the email bidding war, at that price of 25,200 to 25,400 OTD with close to all the add-ons listed above a few may vary. These dealers have included Ourisman, Landmark, Hendrick, and Bill Page.

    If it's an automatic you did great and if it's a stick you did O.K. Enjoy the car, don't look for gratification on what you paid. Someone will always pay less.

    You are right bd21 and it was automatic. Thanks for the feedback. This was my first experience, in buying a car and I just wanted to know if I did ok and if not, if there was something more I could learn for next time.

    How did you get such a good price on your EX-V6 without navigation? When did you purchase your vehicle? Your price was $858 below invoice. Great Job!
