$18,300 including destination charge
+ tax + title + $55 doc fee.
Bought in the Bay Area.
That is a GREAT deal, buddy. That price is close to what I've seen for LXs, not SEs, so you did great!
Can you please let me know which dealership you went?
Although I will say Autowest in Fremont agreed to sell it to me for the the same price (actually a bit cheaper - 18250). I would go today though as it is the last day of the month. You probably won't be so lucky tomorrow.
Hassle free from Ocala Honda!
22,900 Selling price
plus Florida Tax (6% and $50)
OTD for 25,250!!
He beat my lowest price by $250 bucks! Great experience. Worth the drive up from Tampa, no one else would come close to that price here in Florida!
Just to avoid possible "price confusion" or unrealistic expectations in other markets . . . I'm seeing approx. $900 difference between your selling price plus tax and your OTD price. Can you break this down so folks can judge whether your dealer's very low selling price was bolstered by higher than average dealer fees, dealer-installed options, etc?
Thanks! And regardless of my question above - $25,250 OTD is a great price. Shows what aggressive and diligent comparative shopping/negotiation can achieve!
22,919 Price of vehicle
598 Doc Fee (very high- should have negotiated this a little down, but we were really haggling over the OTD price the whole time)
6.50 State Tire and battery fee (had no idea what this was)
----------
23523.58 Taxable amount (I think)
1411.42 State sales tax
50.00 County Sales tax (1% of the first 5K in my county)
225.00 New Tag, Title, etc.
40.00 Elect File (don't know what this was either, but didn't really care)
-----
25,250 OTD. That was the price we negotiated agressively for two days. I really tried to get 25K even but no one would touch that, most dealers told us good luck and told us to come back if that didnt work out.
We got ripped on the $600 fee but we felt everything else was fair. Thanks for all of your help here. We were really happy! The car is just beautiful and DH loves the V6 and 244 hP. We did not trade in at all, keeping 2 92 Acura Legends- mine has 230K on it, still going strong, but need a little more reliable daily driver. (Hoses are all going bad.)
THanks again!
ETA: We got mud flaps and the cargo cover and a few other nice features (wheel locks, door guards etc.). He would have given us the one with the spoiler, pinstripes and a whole bunch more dealer features and at the center of the showroom for 25,500 (original price) but I really didn't need or want the spoiler.
He could say the car is $21,000 with a $2,500 doc fee, it'd still be the same.
You didn't do badly at all, so don't worry.

Thanks a lot
When I started searching two weeks ago, I browsed every post since early April in this Forum and learnt a lot from everybody. I felt that I have obligation of sharing my buying experience with you guys.
I picked fifteen dealers around great Houston area from Honda’s web site and made requests for a quote for an EX-L I4 AT sedan without any option.
Eleven of them responded. Their offering price (include $595 destination fee and options, if any) ranges from $21,791 to $24,779 with a median of $22,291.
Tax rate here is 6.25%.
For those who gives detailed fee schedules, Title ($33), Inspection ($21.75), Document ($50), Deputy ($5) are the same. Others (License, VIT, Bridge, etc.) are various. But, the total of fees ranges from $225.30 to $244.02, which makes not much difference in the OTD.
The OTD, in turn, ranges from $23,389.25 to $26,567.93 with a median of $23,928.21.
From these quotes, I thought I could strike a deal of a few hundred dollars lower than $23,400 easily. But I was wrong.
The dealers who offer an OTD below $23,400 would not bargain; and, those who offer around $23,700 reduced their OTD only to around $23,400.
The break through came in a form of “Memorial Day Special”. The dealer advertised "$2000 below invoice price":
Special Offer 21,291.
Option (fabric sealant) 299.
Total Price 21,590.
Sale Tax (6.25%) 1,349.38
License 60.80
Title 33.
Inspection 21.75
Doc 50.
Deputy 5.
Inventory 52.59
Bridge 11.50
OTD 23,174.02
It might not be really $2000 off, but the offer is good to me. I paid cash no tread in.
I drove home my EX-L I4 AT last night. This is the second time I shop for an Accord via the Internet (we have been a Honda family for almost 5 years, but we are now officially an Accord family). All negotiations were made by email. We agreed on the price and the dealer (Honda Mall of GA) met their promise.
Here is what I came out with:
$21706 including destination charge, sunroof visor, mud guards, wheel locks, spoiler and cargo tray.
They got me on the doc fee (a very steep $499), but most quotes I received were about the same amount.
I got $2,000 for my 97 Civic which brought the OTD down to $21439.
Here is a summary
21706 price including options and dest charge
-2000 Trade-in
+499 processing and document fee
+1212 tax
+21 License
$21,439
If these incentives are able to be combined, I may have to reconsider trying to buy a CR-V.
thanks
Give me a email address, if you want the name.
FWIW, a very good sales experience. No questionable fees, no hard extended warranty push. For anyone in the Western NY area, I'd recommend them.
And slistudent, I may be way off here, but I believe the $750 is applicable if you want the 4.9% financing, but they'll do the $1200 if you don't.

You guys think this is good deal?
thank you.
Enjoy your new car!
I'm going to get a 4 cylinder SE sedan... this does not apply to me right?
with the 08s coming in august i figure they want to get the 07s off the lot asap. so maybe they can apply the incentives with the 4.9 financing.
i am in houston and am going to start emailing dealers monday on pricing. when i went in to gillman honda the were giving me a civic lx for 18k. it was 16k + 2k for all the taxes and what not. i thought it was a bit much for a civic. so i decided on the accord coupe
so what do yall think are my chances on getting a lx acord coupe for 19k otd?
gillman fort bend, sw and north
goodson south and north
mcdavid honda
russell and smith
I'm not sure if they're standard with the SE, nor do I care about having them, but it came with the floor mats, splash guards, wheel locks, and trunk tray. I tried to get them to remove them to lower the price, but they wouldn't.
I put 0% down and used the 4.9/60 month financing. Payments are $360/month.
This forum is excellent. Thanks for all of your help.
Should I take it?
Thanks.
The best internet quote I got for now is $17,785. Price does not include destination, fees, tax and tags.
This is in Westminster,CA.
Is this a good offer? and what should I look for when they do the final out the door price?
Price looks good to me - altho I haven't been following the SoCal market recently. Enjoy!
a 4cy.EX-L w Nav AT? Have been quoted 23,995 at Honda of Oakland inc. Destination, has anybody heard better?
