Few dealers if any will play that game.
Tell him, if you find a lower price you'll be back to him to match it
And no dealer will believe that line.
$590 at signing, $398/mo at Union Park Honda in Wilmington, DE.
I have all of the figures if anyone is interested in knowing more let me know.
Would you mind sending me the remaining details of the deal. I'm in the market for the same model.
Thanks.

Also there are some car buying companies that find best deals for me, any reviews?
Thanks
So far I have gotten $22,970 OTD including all taxes and fees.
Any opinions/feedback on this price?
Sale Price: $27541.24
Doc Fee: $150 (capped in IL)
Tax(7%): $1938.37 (I am from IN)
County Tax: $15 (cook county tax)
IL 7-day permit: $10 (given 2 weeks though, for the price of one :P )
I am really happy with the deal given and have already given a 5 star CSI to the dealership.
Yes, post the details of the transaction per the post right after yours. I'm in Florida, home of the $699 dealer fee. How could I compare your price?
I am looking in the next few months to buy a new 09 Accord w/nav. However, there has been so much written on the VCM board. Are you buying the V-6 with the hopes that it's ok or are you discounting the VCM board?
thanks
s far during the test drive and the driving so far, i've felt no jerkiness as described by the VCM issues. So far, the power has been adequate and I've been enjoying my car. To solve the issue, you should just go for a test drive and see if you can feel anything. i really think the issue is based on one's sensitiveness, or maybe the problem exists only on certain cars.
Just purchased an '09 EX-L no Nav. for $23,994..Paid dealers fee of $599 and 6% tax, battery fee of $6.50, electronic registration fee of $25 and $115.00 registration. I also received splash guard and rear trunk spoiler in the deal.
I think thats a great deal...Its below invoice. BTW, I am in Central Florida..
I priced a Honda accord EXL v4 w/ NAV. I was quoted:
25788 + fees and taxes. The fees are (ridiculously high) @ 1550 (processing,prep, & freight). After all fees and taxes, the OTD is 28,262.
I'm surprised it was that high - but what do you all think?
This is in N. Va , if that matters.
Thanks!
Sale price = 21,400
Freight = 670
Processing fee = 399
Sub-total = 22469
Tax (VA=3%) = 674
Tags = 75
T/T OTD = 23,220
Include: floor mats, mud guards, pin stripes, door edge guards.
Thank you.
I'm an engineer with lots of automotive experience, if there was a VCM issue, I'd have noticed it.

I was just catching up on some posts and noticed someone was talking about a jerkiness in the car. It's funny because I was wondering while I was going down the freeway there was some very minor jerkiness in the engine. This does not bother me much, because it is slight, however you do notice it. It never seems to come up in stop and go traffic. I thought it was happening because the car is new, but apparently other people have this issue. Other than this, the car has been great and love all the features.
My question for you experienced ones out there (since I haven't bought a car in 13 years) - how low should I offer back? Is your experience that the internet offers are their best price? Or that is just a starting point? I'd like to come up with an offer that is a good deal for me but not so crazy that it gets laughed out the door. Thanks in advance!
No.
1) 2008 Accord Coupe EX-L, auto, 4 cyl, a demo though with 3,200 miles driven mostly by the sales manager:
$22,800 (destination fee included)
+ $409 doc fees (inspection sticker, title, registration, plates)
+ 5% tax
= $24,349 OTD
2) 2009 Accord Coupe EX-L, auto, 4 cyl, new but needs to be swapped with another dealer
$23,540 (destination fee included)
+ $284 doc fees (inspection sticker, title, registration, plates)
+ 5% tax
= $25,000 OTD
I proposed to the sales manager a $25k OTD price and it has not been "reviewed" by the sales director. So assuming it goes through, is it a good deal or should I hold out for a few months longer and wait for dealers to be more desperate?
Below is the breakdown of what I paid:
Base price: $23,925
Added wheel locks: $24,036
5% MA Sales Tax: $1201.20
Title Preparation: $5.00
Documentary Preparation: $244.00
License Plate Transfer: $75
TOTAL PRICE: $25,549
In addition to this, Silko Honda in Raynham, MA offers a lifetime warranty - an extension of the 5 year/ 60k mile powertrain warranty. The lifetime warranty is non-transferable and is accepted at any dealership in the continental US. Maintenance records must be kept and done according to the time table given in the owner's manual. However, I can perform my own oil changes and have the other work done at a licensed mechanic - not necessarily Honda.
I received better quotes from two other dealerships, but went to Silko because of the warranty offered.
I received a quote from Herb Chambers Honda of Boston of $23,545 (incl. destination) and a price of $23,100 from Boch Honda in Norwood (not sure if this included destination, but a manager called who was "willing to be a bit more aggressive on the price"). Any quotes I received were all done by email. In 2001, I got all of my price quotes via email for my '01 Civic and found this to be the best method for pricing.
If there is any info. I'm missing or I can answer any questions about this transaction, please let me know.
The sticker was 23,855.00 which included what they consider a dealer option package worth 846.00. Unless a dealer is willing to show me the financing papers for the car from the manufacturer, the "invoice price" is irrelevant.

Please let me know if you have additional questions. I'll post some additional info. shortly.
thoughts?
I just got an email for a 'special' from a dealer i've been talking too.
What do you think of this 'Good for this month only' deal:
2009 EXL w/ NAVI for 26287$ + taxes and tags.
They tell me thats 400$ under invoice.
Is that a good deal for the car? They were all talk about never having to goto invoice because they are still strong. I still keep thinking the longer i hold off, the better a deal i'll keep getting.
Thanks all!
Herb Chambers gave me a quote of $24,560 for the Coupe and $24,470 for the Sedan (2009, automatic, 4 cyl, EX-L). It's interesting how the price that gave you is $1k lower than what I got. Then again, the demo car that I mentioned in the first post is from Herb Chambers so perhaps they were still trying to push that car to me.
I did email several other places and the one worth mentioning is Honda Village, $23,460 for the sedan and $23,660 for the coupe. I ended up going with Boch Honda, after having worked out the price on the phone with a sales manager, and because of the color selection.
Below is the breakdown of what I paid for a 2009 Accord Coupe EX-L, automatic:
Base price: $23,400
Added wheel locks: $91
5% MA Sales Tax: $1174.55
Title Preparation w/ registration: $86.00
Documentary Preparation: $298.00
TOTAL PRICE: $25,049.55
It seems like the best way to go is to negotiate with a sales manager. In my case, the prices that they give over the phone/email, are the lowest that they're willing to go so my advice is to email as many sales managers as you can in your area and don't waste your time by going to a dealership thinking you can negotiate much lower in person.
Oh, and in response to jb_turner about backing out on the proposed price: in order to move forward and actually propose the price, I needed to put down a deposit and it would be for a car that they needed to swap with another dealer. So there was the risk of the car being damaged upon transportation (someone driving it and not being delivered on a flatbed truck), and that's assuming that the car can even be swapped. And if it can't, my deposit would be locked down for an indefinite amount of time.
Thanks again to everyone and happy shopping!
Some dealers have also given me invoices that are higher than what I found, but just tell them that your research tells you otherwise. And don't forget that the invoice is not their actual cost for the car. There is also the dealer holdback and floorplan interest, so their actual cost for a car is hundreds below invoice. Of course, the dealers also need to make some money so I wouldn't argue to buy the car at the actual cost. I think $400 below the edmunds invoice would be pretty good. Good luck!
I think i'm gonna sit tight for a bit, im in no rush, and the way the car industry is going i think someone will offer me invoice sooner or later! I'm also looking into the sonata which is significantly cheaper anyway. If i can't get invoice on the accord i'm not sure its worth the 4 or 5 grand more. Anyway thanks for the data. I dont know how people bought cars without the power of the internet!
So I am looking at buying the 09' Accord EX V6 Sedan and i'm located in houston. I'm looking for some assistance; has anyone recently purchased an accord from houston and willing to share info on:
what the out the door or drive out price paid was
what interest rate they got
any dealers they recommend in houston
OR what about anyone who has received good deals at John Eagle Honda on Jones Rd?
Did you ever end up purchasing your Accord or find out any good deals in Houston? What dealerships were you looking at?
Thanks in advamce
Accord sedan EX-L I4 auto $24,270
Accord sedan EX-L I4 auto w/nav $26,349
Last month I got a price of $25,000 for an '08 w/nav (from a different dealer that had the best price a year ago for a Ridgeline). They still have about 8 of these, I need to check back to see if it dropped.]
I think they can all do better.
btw, I'm in NJ.
