has anyone got an Accord EX-L for 23K or under?
Sports Package (Rear Spolier, Day/Night Review Mirror w/ compass, & Foglamps/lights - $1,200)
IPOD connector - $200
window tint - $100
How I figured this price...
MSRP: $29,400
Invoice: $26,480
Invoice + Accessories ($1500) = $27,980
$27980 - incentives ($750) = $27,230
$27230 - dealer holdback 3% MSRP = ($882) = $26,348
$26348 + dealer profit 2% of $26348 = ($527) = $26,875
$26875 + destination charge ($595) = $27,470
$27470 x TX tax (1.0625 = $1,717) = $29,187
$29187 + Title & Registration ($412) = $29,599
Does this seem right? Should I be getting a better deal or is this deal too good to be true? How would I figure out a lease payment based on this price as well? How much down, etc...? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Christopher
Happy Valentines Day!
Thanks

We actually paid an extra $100 for getting the color we want (red). The dealer said they needed to pay $250 for someone to drive the car from another dealer and we kind of split the cost. I feel if I didn't need to pay that extra $100, it would be a good deal, but now it is kind of O.K.
Also, want to ask a question in terms of the extended warrenty. During our bargain, the dealer said since we paid an extra $100, if I want to buy the extended warrenty he could give me the price at which the dealer pays Honda. To get an extension to 8 years/100K miles (bump to bump), $0 deduction, it will be $1025. It also includes roadside survices (e.g. towing, car rental and hotel cost for up to 3 days). Looks like pretty attractive. Does any one who has the experience think it is worth buying this? Is this a really good deal or another money trap? Any suggestions are welcome. I need to decide before going to pick up the car. Thanks a lot!
I have this partially figured out.
I'm looking @ Honda Accord 07 SE V6 in MN
Invoice price = starting point
then add on the following
Document fee
Destination fee
Tax+Title
Confused about the 750.00 cash to dealer (do i add this to the invoice?)
I have also saw some posts where people were
subtracting true dealer cost which they considered 3% of MSRP
then they added in 2% dealer profit:
it was post 13949
can someone explain these variables to me and wether I add them on to the invoice?
The best strategy would be to call multiple (MULTIPLE) dealers and get their internet/no-haggle price, and if they give you some BS like $300 under inv (since thats "under invoice"), speak to their managers or mention other prices paid. Write down who u spoke w/ at each, and the price. As you get more prices, get each dealer to beat the others' best price. make sure you know the doc fees, which vary, since a dealer might be $100 lower, but with a $200 higher doc fee.
How does the 750.00 Cash to dealer incentive factor into this? Would I deduct this from the invoice price and then start adding in document fees destination fees etc?
I'm in sales and feel I after I understand the #'s aspect I would be ready to fight!
Thanks in advance
I know I can get lower b/c another buyer in the Boston area reported that he received quotes for about 16000 (I don't if that's with Destination).
QUESTION: If I do a used car private party pricing for a 2006 Accord VP and it comes to about 15300, then is it fair to think that I'll lose about 1200-1500 in my first year for my 2007, if I buy it for about 16500 or lower?
Thanks!!
Just pay the lowest price you can and you have less potential depreciation.
the average retail price for the VP 06 was listed as 15300 which is notably lower than the 2007 VP's invoice of 17500.
again, i don't think I'm looking for hard metrics here, just a sense of what I 'may' lose in buying the car for about 16.5K.
I don't need a fancy car right now (saving that purchase for a couple of years down the line).
thanks!
I am looking at buying a 2007 Accord and found out there is a $750 manufacturer-to-dealer incentive going on right now.
I was wondering if there is a web site that tracks the history of these rebates/incentives over the last year or so. I am trying to see if the rebates get bigger or smaller over the model year. I also know a few friends who bought their accords over the last year and trying to understand the price they paid versus the prevailing rebates at that time.
Thanks,

About to buy the Accord VP Auto for 16100 (including destination & the their protection/pro package) + TAX + TITLE.
Thanks!
At my dealership (Serra Honda in Birmingham, AL) the "protection package" consisted of mudguards, Xzylon paint treatment (it actually is amazing stuff when you see it in action), and Xzylon interior treatment. I think they ask $299 for it, but it was promptly bargained out of my dad's 2007 Civic, the last vehicle my family purchased. I don't think they offered such a package in Nov. 2005 when I got my 2006 Accord.
$16,100 is a great price, and I'm not sure you'll be able to go a lot lower.
Went shopping this weekend and found out the dealer supposedly has a President's Weekend Sale going on. I have to make a decision today and pick up car by tomorrow. The choice is a 2007 Accord SE Sedan (4cyl) which the lowest they will go is $18,999 before taxes etc. or a Demo they have on the lot - 2007 Accord V6 EXL with 5,600 miles for $22,500. They are advertising a brand new V6 EXL for $23,997. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I'm not sure if there is a site that records this info.
If you are feeling pressure because of the sale, chances are that you will get just as low a price through negotiating after the sale. Of course, if you need a car immediately, that's a different story.
Personally, i'd go with the SE 4 and have the joy of having a brand new car!

That being said, I have a 4-cylinder Accord that I love (2006 EX Automatic), and would go with the SE 4-cylinder. $24k even is a good price on the EX-V6 assuming that the only additional add-ons would be tax, title, and license. I'm afraid that price might not included things like dealer fees, etc... however, so be careful.
Most of all, don't buy something you are uncomfortable with. If you wait, I'm confident you'll find a deal at least as good later on.
And I *think* I saw "dealer invoice" prices for options on edmunds or some site like that... dunno where it is though, sorry. i think you can "build" your car, with options. maybe through there, IDK.
1. Can anyone who bought/shopped for LX model in the bay area recently please share their quotes?
2. Most of the recent good deals I see in this forum are for SE and EX models (greater than $1000 under invoice). Is the LX a good-selling car compared to SE/EX that the deals are usually not very great on the LX?
Thanks much,

I'd like hear thoughts on getting the Security installed by them for $411 (a shock sensitive system) or an after-market system that will be about the same but will include remote start, shock sensitivity, paging, and few other things. Is it better to have the Manu. do the security system??
Accord SE 4cyl - Red, 5 miles on odometer
Included extras: floormats, trunk liner, door edge guards, stainless tail pipe trim, sealant & protection package.

I used email to go back & forth between all 5 Houston area Honda dealers. When I got my lowest price from Sterling McCall, I took it to Goodson and they gave me an extra $100 off. Goodson started at $20,000 (invoice), dropped to $19,446 a few days later, then told me they would beat any deal by $100.
I started my search at Goodson when I took my '03 Pilot in for an oil change. The dealership has super nice waiting rooms for service. The people are nice.
I wish I had held out another week. I might have saved another $100 or more. What's the record low price on an SE reported on this Edmund's forum?
Should I be able to negotiate a better lease deal on this car? If so, how much better?
What are the odds that this lease deal will still be available in March? If not likely, I'm willing to start the lease one month early.
The dealership in White Plains, NY quoted an additional "bank fee" of $599 over and above the $2,199. Is this correct?
Thanks
