I have an Ohio-made Accord with 182k miles on it now. It's a 1996, and has never left me stranded. Sure it has had repairs, (radiator cracked, brake master cylinder, cooling fan), but what 12 year old car hasn't had a few?
Do you have any idea on the price of LX? Seems 18.8k +tax+l are possible which is better than 19.7k LX-P somehow.
1 - US
2 - Canada
J - Japan
Correct me if I'm wrong guys!
Congratulations. I am looking for the same Accord trim, but the local dealer can not promise the price unless I have a paper proof. Do you mind to send me an electronic copy if you have? My email is sundayla2008@gmail.com. Thanks.
This offer was from several dealers over the internet. I bought my car June 6 and have noticed the sticker has gone up approximately $40+ since then. It must be the destination charge due to the high gas prices!
Sorry I don't have a scanner If you are from around here, I can refer you to the dealer where I bought the car. If not, there are couple pple in forum got it lower than me; you can ask their permission for electronic copy
1) Has anybody here had the dealer put a DVD system in their Accord? Was curious if Honda offers one or have to go after market.
2) I saw a person in the Edmunds reviews mention they added some sound deadening stuff to reduce the road noise as the Accord does have a substantial amount more noise than the Infiniti I am selling. Anybody know if this is a dealer option? Aftermarket? Where would you go for this type of product?
Looking to buy the car in the next week and will let you all know how I do on the price!

"Vehicle Inventory Tax (VIT) - A property tax that dealers pay on their business
inventory. This is NOT a tax that is required to be paid by the consumer."
just curious, are all the car on the lot where you bought yours stuck with the dealer added pin stripes and the paint protection?
Key scratches are one of the hardest things to fix. They will have to grind off all of the paint around the scratch. They they will have to bondo in the scratch and repaint everything to match. Depending on how long and deep the scratch is, they may have to repaint the whole side of the car.
Your comprehensive insurance policy will pay for this less your deductable.
Be sure to find a quality shop and your car will look like new.
It can be fixed "good" but not "easily".
Double ugh! on the tax. But at least they are giving you a great price on the base auto price.
inventory. This is NOT a tax that is required to be paid by the consumer."
Exactly true... but.. try finding a dealer in Texas that doesn't pass it on to the customer as a separate line item.. It may not be required by the government, but that doesn't mean the dealer can't insist on it..
Fortunately, it is a relatively small amount (under $100?).

taxandtags.com states 8.25%
the dealer told me the tax rate was 9.25%,
Edmunds says 8.75%, huh? Which one should I use?
I am looking for the same 2008 Accord trim LX-P, but the local dealer can not promise the purchase price before TTL, around $19600 or 19700 unless I have a paper proof. Do you mind to send me an electronic copy of your paperwork if you have? You can erase the private info. Or, anybody has the same paperwork. Please send it to me. I am anxious to get one. Thanks. My email is sundayla2008gmail.com.
There is an Ebay listing for an 08 Accord V6 (No Nav) which is wrecked, they stated on their listing that they paid $37k for this Accord. Now this lister is a towing service, they probably don't have a clue what this car specs are. But Laughed when I saw that this "towing service" paid $37k for this Accord! LOL Seriously you have got to be kidding. Also it stated it had the navigation system and yet the pictures of the wrecked car does not even show it having the system, It has the normal 6disc stereo system (smaller screen) not navi scrolling knob. I actually sent the guy a question asked how he could have spent that much on an Accord, when an Acura is just as much.
Take a look at the "08 Accord" on Ebay and you'll see a listing, Accord in need of work . It is white, and briefly states what it has, "paid $37,154 or so. HAHA! :lemon: :sick:
$23,590 before TTL (price includes destination and mudflaps wihich is a dealer opt)
250 doc fee
25 license fee
$23,865 x 7% tax is a grand total of $25,535.55.
Considering MSRP on the Accord Coupe EX 4-cyl is$24,595 (Invoice w/ destination), is the above a good price? I'm new to the "car buying" game, and want to avoid getting swindled if at all possible. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
MSRP (after destination) $24,630
Invoice (after destination) $22,381
Basically, the dealers are charging you $1,209 OVER invoice, only coming off of MSRP by $790. Doc fees are just extra charges by dealers, these are negotiable, unlike destination charges.
I'd think you could easily do $1,000 better.

I'm having a VERY hard finding the Accord Coupe EX 4-cyl Auto no leather on Ohio dealer lots. And that concerns me from a bargaining standpoint.
21,100 base
7% taxes
$254 DMV
$199 Doc fee
$7.5 something else i forget
---------
23707.5
suggestions/advice welcome. what do u think
came with splash guards and stripes at that price.
so they are doing you no favors. this was about 300 or so under invoice I believe plus got .09 financing.
Coupes don't sell nearly as well as sedans and coupes without leather aren't that common.
The price you were given wasn't bad. Not every car needs to be given away.
Maybe this website would help :

Remember that tax is based on where your residence is and not where you buy the car. Some dealerships will try to scam you into buying from them because they have lower tax rates in their area.
I disagree, or would keep shopping.
Finding that car may be that poster's biggest challenge.
Sent out batch of emails - initial responses coming back and best price so far is:
$24,495 (includes desitination)
+1579.76(taxes)
+174.05(reg.)

What's the target that is reasonable for this car in these markets? (all prices coming so far are within $60, so no one is making a break-out move yet on pricing) Anyone getting anywhere near the 23K pricing in TX that is reported in Southern Cal for price before ttl?
They offered the 0.9% finance at this price.. anyone seeing lower prices for not taking that financing?
Thanks!
Good luck.It's a great car!
P.S. I was given a great quote on an 08 V6 w/ Navi a few months ago and when I inquired more before showing up at the dealership I was told that it was rear-ended and fixed.
