I think the 8th generation is going to be great. I'm thinking of waiting for it. But it's likely to cost 2000-3000 more. It may only go up 1000 in list price, but it will be selling at close to list for a while. The discounts like they have on the current generation will not be available for years.

Well, when she holds the check book...Actually, we have saving for a while for a down payment. Each month we save, will be less to finance.
Isell, being a teacher, I hope to test drive during spring break possibly so I can take the kids and test them out with car seats in the back. Plus, I don't want to buy when I test drive, so having the kids is a good excuse to leave the dealership and come back later.
If you are not too picky about a single color choice, you will still be able to buy a 2007 right before and for a little while after the 2008s come out.
They are sure to build and stockpile enough so they don't run out and lose millions of dollars of sales by not having anything to sell during the model changeover. On top of that sales usually drops off for a few months right before a new model is released as people postpone their purchase in anticipation, so there are usually good deals offered then to get people from sitting on the fence waiting.
Last week (2/26/07) I purchased a 2007 Accord EX-L Auto 4 cyl 4dr for a price, out the door, of $22,249. That includes everything (including fees, tags, title, and my Virginia state tax of 3.12%). They also threw in wheel locks and mud flaps. I believe that this was a good price from what I've read here, but would love your input. Thoughts?
Thanks.

Can anyone chime in on this?
The best quote I found for the EX-L Auto 4 Cyl sedan was $21,600 and that is before TTL. Sounds to me like you got a good deal. Congrats on your new car!
Yes, I actually just rechecked my paperwork and I made a mistake...
My price was $21,391 including the $595 freight but BEFORE taxes of $650, title of $22, plate fee of $29, $299 processing fee, and a business license tax of $36. And I made a mistake on the out the door total -- it was actually $22,429. But I still think that was good... do y'all agree?
Again it was a 2007 Accord EX-L Auto 4cyl 4dr (no Nav).
Thanks!

My question is this: Is this the best way to go about it, (emailing them for their price) or should I make my own offer up front? When you guys/gals do your bargaining to you mention up front your knowlege of Edmunds, etc?
Nothing wrong with them but they are very slow sellers compared to the 4 cylinders.
As for the car itself: e-mailing/talking to the internet manager is a good approach; once (s)he gives you a price, compare it to what others are paying or other quotes you've gotten, and get them to go lower if they're not super-competitive. Even if a dealer is 80 mi away, it doesnt hurt to get the quote so that you can tell the dealer 10 mi away what the other guy was offering.
On a feature list of checkboxes, the MusicLink looks better until you actually try to use it.
This is my first post. I have read up on these forums for the past 2 months and it seems like it would have been useful for me to join.
Well, down to my question. I am currently negotiating on a 2007 EX-L. So far the dealer's offer is 22,200 not including any fees or taxes. Invoice is at 22,500 and msrp is at 25,050. I think I can get him down to 21,000. Is this a good goal? Should I reach even lower? Am I reaching too much?
P.S. I am in NJ, where sales tax is 7%
My local BestBuy doesn't carry the USA SPEC. But you can Goggle and find the web site, and they have a dealer locater on the site. If you live in a small market you may have to travel a bit, or try and see if a local audio outlet would install it if you bought yourself online & brought it in, or if you're good at that stuff - install it yourself.
where in nj are you? if you've been reading i've been hyping up joyce honda in northern NJ b/c i had a really good experience and price with them. idk what deal is going now (i think its the same as in jan), but in january i got about $1,250 below invoice on an SE 4cyl (comparing just car price to invoice for just car). then add destination, doc fee ($180), and EVERYTHING else. but they didnt add any unnecessary fees. if you're anywhere near em, give em a call. besides, NJ has SO MANY honda dealers-- call a BUNCH and get quotes on the phone.
What was your OTD price?
Thoughts on this deal?
Any thoughts on this deal?
$18200 plus dest, doc and everything. Invoice is $19,493 according to Edmunds . Both prices not including destination. Don't hold em to that price but try and maybe they'll match the discount ) MORE importantly, the guys @ joyce were very professional, helpful, and quick. didn't throw any useless charges or ask for this garbage or that garbage
Anyway, $28,400 doesnt seem like that bad a price? But I am just going off the invoice I see on Edmunds ($26480) so I havent given it much thought. Please break it down. Does that include DMV $254 that they'll charge you for tags and 4 years registration???
What was the total price paid including everthing buy taxes and tags (the two variables that change)? That is the only way we can really compare prices.
595 - destination
1889.65 - NJ taxes
206 - doc fee n tire tax
254 - tag fees
extras:
599 - protection pkg - which supposedly helps ur paint from not chipping
Total = 29,494 minus the protection pkg. can anyone school me on the protection pkg? Is it beneficial, is it worth 599?
My Total= 28,400 which includes the protection pkg, so in essence I am getting 1100 below invoice, getting it for 25,400 and I can knock off the 595 for the protection package and bring my final price to 27,805
$20500 -- the price including dest.
$299 - documentation fee
$TTL
EX-L for 26500? Even if it is V6, kind of high at NJ, I got my Pilot EX-L 4WD for less last year. But I believe that the price for SE V6 is attainable in anywhere. Stick to the price and they will sell you the car. Otherwise, my sales person will do the price for you, if you don't mind to drive to NJ.
Information is the key! This forum has the information! Please post your price after the purchase to help others and make the market more efficient.
Not enough research and your offer should be much lower.
Should be a bit cheaper than that... next time hold out for 20K OTD.
I got the SE 4cyl for 20.3K OTD in NJ (7% tax) and everyone said I got the best deal on an SE they've seen (and yes i worked hard for that price). How would you get the v6 for the same price?
I think 1400 below invoice is a great deal for the EX v6 w/ Nav. I will certainly look for a better deal, but I doubt I will find it.
Price: $16,475 (includes destination)
Documentary Services: $58.48
Total Cash Price: 16,533.48
Sales Tax (6.75%): $1,116.00
New Plates: $143.00
Total Unpaid Balance: $17,792.48
I live in NJ and am in the market for either a sonata or accord.
The so called protection package is a total scam...like the old rustproofing farce.
Absolutely don't pay a nickel for it.
Please post your results to help others too.

This site and everybody has been very helpful to me while shopping for my new Accord. I just bought one today for $21535 out the door. I also got LoJack for $500. I bought this in the bay area. I will post the complete breakdown very soon so that others can benefit.
Just one more thing. There is a $1000 dealer cash incentive going on these days.
Also, there was no trade in and I paid cash.
hondaguy mentions this for those interested :shades:
It sounds great deals are going on in the North for Accord VP.
How about in south florida around west palm beach? Is that possible for me to get a VP auto transimision for something between $18,000 to $19,000 for out door price?
The lowest offer I've rec'd so far after contacting several dealers is about 20,500 (without counter-offering), assume that doesn't include dest.
If they want a "document fee" (say $299), make them price it out separtely.
21,901 + 299 = 22,200
