-$152

For an at, a decent deal for mt, not so good. Unfortunately your tax will be based on the $19,600 so, $1176. T&l I'll guesstimate at $120-150. So your real otd, $20,946. With $1,152 of freebies for a net price of $19,794 otd. I'd say negotiate it more below invoice, tell the dealer no way you're paying the crap fees and he can keep his freebies. Most likely he is using the promo's to distract the buyer that the deal is going over invoice.
Who did you deal with at Autowest? Also, how did you get such a good deal? Do you think how you financed it mattered? Thanks - I'm hoping to buy one this week in the Sac area.
first time poster. I live in Southern California. I got a quote from Norm Reeves Honda in HB for EXL auto 4 cyn. $ 24000 even OTD $26,189. Can I get better price than this? I have not check around yet, still waiting for emails from other dealers. If you guys have a better deal, let me know. thks
Sadly no. I am the only occupation lower than a car salesman... a lawyer. "
A lawyer who will crack a lawyer joke on himself is all right in my book. Btw why sharks won't bite lawyers? Professional courtesy.
thks for a quick response. I called the internet dept. saleman P. told me to call him early next Friday for better pricing. I think you got $23,000 plus tax, lic. thats pretty good. I will let you know
can you tell me further where and how you get the deal for LX-P around bay area? and did u pay full price or installment? Any helps would be appreciated. Thanks
I have the EXL V6 w/ Navi which I bought for $27700 (plus some options, you may do a search on my previous posts that has the info). This was in December, dealer was Grace Honda in san Bruno. Let me know of you want more info and I will provide. Good luck.

MSRP........................................................$26,495.00
Weekend special price.............................$23,295.00

The ad says that the sale ends on 7/7/2008 but I think if you like the price and contact them they will go for it. You should also be able to get same savings on the LX-P. Also try Grace Honda or Stevens Creek Honda, they were close when I was buying mine.

I know this is about buying experience, but i haven't bought yet. but with your help, i hope to buy soon.
i'm intrested to find out how much people paid for the following. or if you know how much i should pay for it.
2008 Honda Accord
Body: Coupe
Color (int'/ext'): Black / Black
Trim: EX-L Nav'
Engine: V6
Transmission: automatic
Dealership name/location: Houston, TX, USA
i would also like to get remote start installed.
if you know how much i should pay for this, please let me know. Thank you.
I would like to get a Accord LX 4-door with auto transmission. I am living in MD.
The tax here is 6%. Does anyone buy the LX recently? How much do you pay ood?
Anyone has recommed for dealership in MD/VA/DC?
Thank you
Accord EX 21900 before Tax & License. I was able to choose my color and had the dealer locate and deliver for an extra 150. I could have purchased the LX-P for 20500.
I test drove the car Sat. Negotiated a price on Sunday. Showed up late 7pm Monday to see the car, invoice and price breakdown. At the last minute I asked the Internet/Salesperson to have the used car manager look at my possible trade in, a 2002 VW Passat. He asked me what number I had in mind. I said 7000 would be great. They came back with 6000. Finally we settled on 6250. My real number that I expected to hear based on miles, condition, electrical issues, etc was 4000 to 5000. If I kept it and tried to sell it myself my asking price would have been 6000. Finally I made it to the finance guy. I told him .9 % or I walk. It took him 20 seconds to find .9% for me.
In summary... Did I get a good deal. To me yes. To some of you yes yes yes. And to some I no. It all depends on if you wake up the next morning smiling about your deal.
Sorry it was long, but I hope this helps someone.
I just got (7/7/08) a 2008 I4 EX-L from Spirit Honda (El Monte) for:
$23397. + 670 (dest fees).
You should ask for Tom or David in the internet/fleet department, I already knew what car I wanted so I negotiated the whole deal over the phone (while I was selling my old car) and went over, completed all the contracts and financing in 1 hour!
Being a younger female, it can be intimidating to buy a car (especially because they think you don't know anything), but really those guys made it super easy for me.
I was talking to people at Goudy, Miller, Colonial, Pasadena and Spirit beat them all.
Go see them - it is no pressure and no haggle - don't see the floor sales guys - contact the internet dept first, tell them the deal you are looking for and only go in if they can match it!
I also enquired about the EX-L V6, but forgot the exact price quote. Your numbers sound real close to what I remember. I think it was 3500+ minus Taxes & Lic over the LX-P price of 20500. They were real firm on the EX-L's and did'nt budge. The EX-L is a nice auto for that price.
Now that Honda has released the dealer incentives/rebates for the month of July, can you please share the breakdown as you have done for previous months?
Thanks

EX-L sedan auto with 4 oil changes, cargo net, new tags in NY(8.375% tax)
26240 otd.
The APR went up to 1.9 (36 months) or 3.9 (60 months). No dealer cash, no double super-secret advertising assistance. There is a contest through the end of August, but it's for the owner/gm trip to Africa -- no cash award.
I was hoping for some cash incentives since I plan to buy in cash. So based on your post does this mean that these incentives apply for July and August and I should not expect anything different for August?
Thanks
Twotone
I always go with the low mileage but I trade pretty often.
Man you really lucked out! Great Job!
Hope this helps.

But what I do want to share are a couple of things I found of interest. Manly had 95 Accords available on that day. I was assured that was not enough inventory to hold them over until the 2009s arrived.
They had no 4 cylinders with Navigation. Apparently that combo is impossible to find right now. Or at least in Northern California.
Know not the exact numbers, but they said they had less than a two week inventory of Civics.
When I met with the finance guy (and he was pretty cool) he said Honda is cracking down on dealers selling extended warranties at a big discount. There's a reason for that. Honda will now fully refund the entire price paid for the extended warranty if you don't ever have to use it. A variety of options were available. I chose 7 years with 100K miles. He originally quoted $2,400. But since I'm special (this was my seventh Honda product) he lowered it to $1,850 and that still includes the money back guarantee. Probably still too high but pretty much risk free.
Overall it was a good experience. But I just hate shopping for a new car.
If they didn't do you any favors on the car or the warranty - why buy from them?
If you just wanted the car and to "get the heck out of there"-i t sounds like they successful used the "tried and true method" of "wearing you down" so you would cave in to their terms.
Don't know about you-but $500.00 to $750.00 is a lot of money. That would have bought the extended warranty online from another dealer. So you paid (in your own words) $750.00 too much for the car-and another $750.00 too juch for the warranty. That's $1,500.00 big ones.
However, enjoy your car!
You will probaby get a better deal on an automatic and when you go to sell it or trade it in down the road, it'll be MUCH more desirable than a 5 speed. Used five speed Accords are cars few people want.
Just something to think about.
Some people actually feel good about their purchase until someone else rains on their parade by telling them they "overpaid".
Life is short...
I nearly "settled" for an '08 EX-L Auto prior to 7/07/08 because of the 0.9 APR, but I figured I'm going to be driving that car for a while so I better really like it. Otherwise I'd trade it in in a few years. At which point leasing may be a better option. Who knew there were so many variables in acquiring (purchasing/leasing) a vehicle.
With that said, I remember hearing a dealer say they have only sold 4 MT Accords YTD. I have no idea if it's true or not.
Buy the car that you and the wife will enjoy. Trust the authors of this forum, it's not just about getting the best deal. It's about felling good about the car you purchased. Years ago I bought a new Blazer (I was taken for the biggest ride), it wasn't that I over paid for the vehicle that PMO, it was that I settled or was talked into buying the wrong color and option package.
What state are you looking in? There were MT's at the dealer in NORCAL over the weekend.
