For those of you looking for the LX auto, this is what I received from Livermore Honda in the email. Prices good through 3/23/08 per ad. If there are no "fine prints" the price seems great at about $1000 below invoice.
2008 Honda Accord LX sedan w/auto transmission MSRP....................................................$21,795.00 Weekly special price...........................$18,500.00 H80253 H80249 H80257 H80301
Hi - I live in Southern California. and I am in the market to buy the `08 Accord LX-P auto and was curious to see what others have paid for it and what deals I can get. Please list the dealer if thats allowed. Thanks in advance.
Just bought my car at $22,750 including destination. Paid another $55 for doc fee. Other fees are standard. Out-of-door is $24936. I think I got a good deal.
Here is the breakdown of the lowest quote I received for a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6 MT w/o NAV in Northern Virginia:
special internet price ---- $24998.72 freight ---- $635 appearance pkg* ---- $595 processing fee ---- $385 VA TAX ---- 3.2% VA Tags ---- $68
Total OTD price = $27521.03 -Not sure at which point they applied the tax, but it just about adds up any way you cut it. -VA can charge up to $399 for processing.
*The appearance package is a dealer add-on that they put on all cars supposedly. It includes splashguards and wheel locks with an optional pinstripe.
Is this a reasonable OTD price quote for the car (2008 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6 MT w/o NAV) or do I have more wiggle room?
I don't think I should be charged for the appearance package, so I was thinking I should be able to go to @ $27,000.
Yes, it is herson's Honda. This price is about $500 below the invoice even after including the destination charge. So I think it is decent. And I guess they are trying to get some target sale recently, so I would recommend you try to contact them for quote too.
The quote including the destination and the dealer fee is still a few hundred below invoice on this car and in my opinion a very good price. The appearance package price, however, is a big joke. Those items at the most would be about $200. So I agree with your assessment of about $27k OTD being a reasonable price.
Recently purchased an 08 V6 Accord coupe w/navi in north jersey for $27,300 including destination fees. Did initial shopping through online requests to Paul Miller/West Essex Honda, DCH Honda-Paramus, and Hudson Honda. Hudson Honda was over the sticker, DCH was $28,+ and Paul Miller came in at $27,300. Did my in-person dealing with Rt 23 Honda in Pompton Plains and Garden State Honda in Clifton. Ended up in Garden State Honda with deal and 1/2 price on Honda remote starter. Good luck!!
i went to a dealer in socal on sunday and they wanted 30k out the door accord coupe ex-l v6 with navigation. i was trying to get it to 27 and it didn't work anyone know any socal dealers that have the coupe for 27k with or without navigation?
Just bought mine in Arizona for $28,365 ($735 over invoice). This car is nearly impossible to find: Black , automatic, Accord Coupe EX-L V6 with navi. I've been trying for about 2 months now and finally found one. Before I found this, there were only 5 available in the country and by the time I contacted those dealerships, they had already sold them. I lucked out and found one about 150 miles away. I had contacted them the day before it arrived on their lot and they reserved it for me.
Hi, I just got back from a Honda Dealer in Pittsburgh PA. Was looking for an Accord, EXL I4. was offered $23936. But they offered my trade-in dirt cheap. so I walked away. If without a trade-in. Do you think $23936 is a good price? David
Kinman, You did good! I requested quotations from six dealers in southern California, and the best deal is $19694.78 (includes destination and PDI - for 2008 Honda Accord LX-P Auto) You can always haggle for another $100. Good luck with your deal
Hello. A dealership in NY still has some 2007 V6 accord with Leather still left. They quoted $22,360 plus TT&L. Can someone please let me know if this is a good price and what they think of the car. Deciding if I should buy this or the 2008 EX-L 4 cyl. Thanks.
How much is the sales tax there? FYI: I bought EX-L I4 at $22,750 +$55 doc+TTL in the SF bay area. Seems to me you should ask for at least $1k below invoice at this time.
kinman, you did not mention whether the quote is for the AT, If so, that is a great price. If it is for a manual transmission still it is a good price as long as you get the exact color and options you want and no other fees/unwanted add-ons. Good luck.
That is a very good price for that model. You won't be seeing much more price drop on those, if any, as they are beyond their holdback and any dealer incentives. As far as the car itself, a friend of mine owns one and another friend owns an 06 V6 EXL (same as 07), they are great cars and I personally like them. I own the 08 model because I like the new design better so I think for you the primary factor would be the looks and the purchase price (But I don't think it would be fair to do price comparison when considering 07 V6 EXL to 08 I4 EXL).
Thanks for the feedback. The dealer is South Shore Honda in Valley Stream. I think they said they have three left. The only problem I see if that you are getting a car manufactured in 2006 and when you look up the value, edmonds has a dealer price of $21,000 or so, but these cars are new
I've tried to get a feel for prices by browsing this topic, but I was wondering if you could tell me if yall think that the prices on these are going to be going up or down over the next 3 months. I'm looking to purchase in June, do you think the prices will be higher or lower, or the same by then. Thanks!
Just took delivery of an 08 Accord EX-L sedan 4 Cyl Auto from Majestic Honda from Lincoln, Rhode Island.
Excellent place to do business with. Very friendly, relaxed atmosphere and no pressure. I have a Pilot also purchased here in 05
Price $ 23,605 included destination and wheel locks. Doc fees are $95.00
We were torn between the Altima and Accord (can't go wrong with either one!) and the car was my wife's choice. I will most likely get an extended warranty from Bernardi Honda (9yrs/120k $940) before 4-1.
I'm sorry to jump in like this. But I have an 06 accord EXL that i'm trying to get rid of. just wondering if anyone's in the area and interested. see my post at http://newjersey.craigslist.org/car/613143134.html
Recently received internet quotes from several central Pennsylvania dealers for a 2008 Honda Accord EX Sedan with manual transmission and no navigation. The lowest price quoted is as follows:
Base price: $20,377 Destination: $635 Options: $490 [body side moulding, splash guards and wheel locks] Sub-Total: $21,502 Doc Fees: $129 PA 6% Tax: $1,290 Final OTD: $22,921
I will post the actual final selling price and term once the deal is concluded.
off topic, my apologies. just had wood trim put in my new ex-l with navi. i'm confused. the wood is only on the dash, but the picture on the honda website shows wood trim on the doors as well. find the pic here:
when you build the car on the website and click on this option it says a dash kit and steering wheel kit are available, which seems to suggest that the door wood is not actually available as an option. anybody have the wood trim package put in their car? did you get it wood on the doors as well or is the picture just questionable advertising by honda? thanks in advance.
looking to buy one soon, in corpus christi, tx one dealership would drive to san antonio, or austin, any recommendations what is currrent otd?? current interest rate from honda america??? any color recommendations, ??? tks for your help...
What was the dealer in Dallas, and how much did you work them to go to that price? I am seeing people pay $22.5K + ad-ons and get you wondering if you can really get that deal. Did you finance? What were they offering from Honda?
I think it was a good price with the add-ons, but I am looking and willing to wait for the "great" deal.
In don't know where Honda got the picture of the wood trim doors, but the accessory wood trim kits that they all do not include any door trim parts - just 4 pieces for the dash with one kit. They may offer a door trim kit separately at some point, but right now they do not.
Note that nowhere do they state that any wood trim kits are available for the door, so only the one picture is "false advertising".
"....so only the one picture is "false advertising".
Not true. The picture in the link is exactly what my car's interior looks like. Note that in that link they don't talk about "any" optional wood trim. The picture belongs to the V6 EXL black exterior w/ ivory interior combo package (some other color combos may also have it), In the black interior you get the chrome looking trims instead. As for optional wood trims, I remember seeing the door wood trims being offered in the online stores.
I have been told by one NJ dealership that they dont get a 2% "hold back" on any EX-L V6 cars. Only the others. Is this BS! SO far I can get my car at invoice and any 4 cyl at $350 below.
Is guess the "problem" then is that they don't make an accessory kit to make the wood trim look like the one pictured, then. The user asking about it thought he would end up getting what he saw in the picture but all they had to put in is the accessory trim kit which has no door trim. Yes, there a many 3rd party trim kits you can find online for cheap which have much more coverage and usually in several shades of "wood".
I forgot to mention that the price paid ($24,647 before taxes, title, etc.) also included the Total Appearance Protection Package offered by Honda, which I dickered down to $495 from $695. The car does not have the Navagation package.
I see some of the deals that other people got on the same car, and it makes me wonder if I shouldn't have haggled more. I think I got a good deal, but I'm not so sure now.

I don't think "Honda" offers any such thing. Sounds like good old "mop and glow" to me - "paint sealant" and "fabric guard". Even at $495 this is a huge rip-off. It probably cost the dealer $40 or so to apply.

I think it is a good deal. Any comment ?
You did good! I requested quotations from six dealers in southern California, and the best deal is $19694.78 (includes destination and PDI - for 2008 Honda Accord LX-P Auto)
You can always haggle for another $100.
Good luck with your deal
Could you tell us what dealership in So Cal gave you the 19694 quote?
Includes add-ons:
EPP (Environment Protection Package - aka wax & scotchguard)
ProPack (mud guard, trunk tray, wheel locks)
Pinstripe, tint
I thought this was a pretty good deal until I discovered my car was actually manufactured in '07.
Any thoughts on if I overpaid?
