From what I've been seeing here, for a brand new car, usually $1000 below invoice is a good deal, which means $21200 in our case. BUT since this is an ex demo car with 6k miles, what would be a good price? I was thinking $19K. Can it be even lower. They seem pretty dedicated to get rid of it. The carspace forum helped me so much last time when i bought a car and i hope u guys can help me out in making an offer and from what low end i shd start bargaining
Please note that I'm ok with buying a car with 6k miles, unless i'm missing some hidden catch (if so please le me know!)
The bluetooth kit is installed into the space where the sunglass holder is now and has the microphone and speaker in an all-in-one unit. All they do is cut a hole for it, tap it into a power source and mount it.
It isn't connected to the stereo or steering wheel controls.
car: $24,365
wheel locks $80.00 (gave this to them)
dest fee $635.00
tax $1755.60 ( no trade in)
motor tire BS fee: $7.50
est reg fee: $234.00
njcar dsp ser fee: $ 8.00
doe fee: $185.00
total cost OTD: 27,270.10
nice? or can I do better
I wanted the v6 though. u got a good price!
is what people saying about VCM just BS?!
what dealer did u buy from??
yes i noticed most prices under invoice are for v4..so far the best internet price i have gotten as of today is:
28,915 incl dest
67.5 dmv
130 plates
2510.95 tax
$31,623 out the door that's $650 over invoice..what do u think??? today i sent out an email to all the dealers who have sent me internet quotes telling them if they would give me the car for 28,514 (249 over invoice) and throw in a tint, that i would order the car immediately...i got one response to come in in person and make the offer..let's see what happens when i go in!
Also, when do the 2009 models come out?
Thanks.
Car base price:$23,900.00
NJ sales tax:$1,673.00
Motor Vehicle Tire Fee in NJ:$7.50
*$1.50 per tire.
Documentary Fee:$199.00
Registration/Title Fee:$360.00
TOTAL:$26,139.50
Is this a good deal or not? I bought the car from Paul Miller Honda in West Caldwell. Any inputs will be appreciated, thanks guys.
My recommendation is that if you can do without some of the bells and whistles the LXP is more than adequate, I looked at both and based on the spend it was worth it for me especially if you don't spend a ton of time in the car. Best of luck.
yeah your'e right that last quote was not good..i just got offered the car for 27,277incl dest + 379 for dmv, plates, fees and 2368 tax. That gets me out of the door at $30024. That's much less than any of my other quotes and my first quote under invoice...it's hard to say no to this one! I'm thinking about taking it...
Thinking of EX-L 4cyl w/o NAV or
EX-L 6cyl w/o NAV
Any price informaiton would be really appreciated - THANKS
Also, with this $2500 or so going to the dealer, what target price should I negotiate - $1000 under invoice? $1500? I know the dealer and salesmen need to earn a living, but at the same time I need to get rock bottom price in order to afford the car.
So far, I can only get Ohio dealers to go about $300 under Edmunds (base + dest) invoice. Is anyone getting better deals?
Thanks in advance for your help/insight.
There is electronic noise cancellation that will very slightly reduce certain frequencies of engine noise, but it will not do anything for road noise such as tires making noise on the freeway.
If you care about road noise, you should be looking other cars like the Camry and the new Malibu. Lack of noise suppression is one of the worst features of the Accord.
Many thousands of people are able to live with it, so I'm sure it isn't completely unbearable, but there are much better choices in competing similarly priced cars if you want quietness.
Anyone know where I can find this info>
Thanks...
Honda's incentives are usually dealer incentives and/or special lease and finance rates and I haven't seen anything on the new Accords yet. There will probably be something like that in fall when the 2009s are coming so there will be some incentive to buy a 2008 instead of a 2009.
hope this was helpful... just don't forget... sales are down down down and they'll do anything to sell u a car. so ask for the impossible and u might just get it because they are doing really bad!
hope this helped
Invoice $23,518.34
Dest 635.00
Doc Fees $100
Tax and title $25
No other fees except sales tax
No Trade In
Is this a good Deal
Also: When do the 2009's hit the lots?
I am in your area. I was excited to see your deal at 21,012 including the 635 destination fee for 2008 Accord EX 4 cylinder. Can you share with me which dealer and your paper work with quotes. I think you got a great deal. If I can get close to that, I would be happy. Thanks for all your help in advance!

I just purchased a 2008 I4 Accord Sedan EXL Auto w/ Navi. I had no trade-ins or anything and no previous dealings with the dealer or the sales person. This was a new car, not a demo. The price out the door was $26,300 and they threw in wheel locks. The dealer said they had it on the lot for 60 days and had to move it costs to hold beyond so many days. This is Capital Honda in Okemos, MI (Close to MSU campus)
Here is the breakdown;
Base $23,975
Dest. $635
Invoice w/ Dest $24,610
Doc: $180
Subtotal $24,790
Tax $1,487
Title $15
Transfer Licence $8
Subtotal $1,510
Net $26,300
Yes, the dealer is Apple Honda in York, PA. Unfortunately, I cannot give you his specific contact information. The quote came from their internet sales section. From what they said when I went in to get it in writing, which I did, was that they were giving me all of their 2% hold back, plus $50 of their $400 dealer sales incentive. I'm sure that there is other money that they get that they weren't telling me about, but they were still the lowest by about $500. Keep in mind that this quote was for a new 2008 Honda Accord EX Sedan with a manual transmission. Their OTD was $22,885.62, which included 6% sales tax, $93.50 in nontaxable fees and $490 in options. There are no admin. or other doc. fees indicated on their written quote. They were a pretty easy going crew. Although I have yet to purchase a vehicle from them [I might wait for a 2008 leftover] I was comfortable working with them. Hope this helps. Post if you have other questions. Later.
Thanks for the info again. I am working with local dealers in the Philadelphia area for an Accord EX 4dr Sedan 4 cyl with Automatic Transmission. If Sussman or Conicelli can match your deal, I would close on it. If not, I might have to go to your hood. BTW, I think Honda hold back is 3%. I did find info on the $400 dealers sales incentive. I was on Piazza Honda of Drexel Hill's website, they have a page with "2008 Accord Spring Marketing Allowance of $400". I will print that out to show the dealers I am working with to see if we can close the deal faster.
As far as the $490 in options, what does it include?
So for your deal in MSRP:
$23695
+ 490
---------
$24,185
I want find out what the invoice price for the $490 in options are, so I can do the above calculation with invoice to see how much you are below invoice on your deal.
Can you e-mail or fax me you sheet? If you can, pls get my info from my profile. Thanks again!

Thanks!!
From what I found....
-- Main Line Honda. Will deal but very begrudgingly.
-- Conicelli. Very aggressive with price & hard sell. Good deal but watch your step.
-- JL Freed. No pressure, but will make you work for the last few hundred bucks.
-- Piazza. Was $1000 higher than any other offer.
-- Sussman. No info. Didn't deal with them.
-- Keenan. No response to on-line requests.
I was $25667 OTD at the end.
Go on line with them.
Thanks for the info!
Can you break your deal out in more details? Price on the car and other fees?
How you like your new ride?
Seems like the dealers close by are not as agreesive as Apple Honda at York from yaupon2's deal.
Anyone got below invoice in the Philly area? I am still waiting for Sussman and Conicelli to get back to me.
