300 is still not bad ... the extras make the deal almost as good as 500 below.
Remember, the car actually costs the dealer a little under 27000 ... a $1300 or so profit is less than 5% ... even Walmart has better margins!!! Your deal is a good one.
Illinois is maxed at 150 ... $299 is not bad. I have seen gouging as high as 499.
Also ... don't get suckered by other fees like 'Dealer Prep' ...It takes a guy who makes $15/hr a few hours to unwrap and clean the car. Numbers to compart are as follows: Invoice + Destination + Doc Fee *There should be no other fees"
Sales Tax, Tags, Title are fixed by your state/city and dmv ... these will differ for OTD.
Last but not least, if you read my old post, one of the 3 dealership actually offered $100 lower than my current car, but changed their tune when I was coming in into the dealership and increased their price by $600 difference (I lied saying I was minutes away hehehe, when actually i was 2 hrs away and haven't left home). Therefore, instead of leaving to the initial dealership, I went into the 2nd cheapest one, knowing i have another alternative if they try to play games.
Overall, i would say that the email method works like a charm and that you just need to watch out for dishonest dealers that try to get you to come in and play games and the ones that increase their price after they think they successfully got you to come in
Yes... care only about OTD in your taxable area because that would be a consistant rate in your taxable area.
If you are shopping for others break down the price if you want to.... since 99.999 percent of posters in here shop for their ownself the best way is OTD.
I shopped for a few weeks before completing the sale of my old car.
In the two hours following the sale of my car, I had three dealers on the net and one on the phone all bidding for my business. Went with the guy 20 minutes away as opposed to 1:45. I was negotiating OTD with all of them. And I really mean OTD ... I told them I did not care what the numbers were above the total line but that it had to include tax, title, registration, tags, processing and anything else they could invent.
I quoted them my final price and got what I was looking for.
Simple... Just break it down...
Car (type w/ level & engine size) - $$$
Options - $$$
Dealer Fees - $$$
TTL - $$$
Seems like we can all make the best decisions when we get that level of detail...
2009 Accord 4dr EXL-V6 with nav 27.955 (includes destination)
Options 0
Dealer Doc Fee 299
Title, Tax, Tags ... $ 940
total 29,200 OTD
How's that?
Would appreciate your help.
I got a GUn metal with Black leather 2009 accord EX-L v6 no Navi for 26,450 including destination and dealer "fees". TTL was additional.
I think I left a few hundred on the table. I walked away once and got it to $100 under invoice. I am pretty sure I could have gotten a little more off, but I am not too upset with this deal.
thanks to others who have posted.
If a dealer hasn't sold a car that day ... they may go lower ... if they have sold many, they will not budge. Don't worry be happy! You did just fine!
Base price: $24,778(incl. destination)
Tax(5.1%): 1,263
Title Fee: 27
Tags/Lic. Still to be paid
Total: $26,068
Three weeks ago the lowest price I had been quoted was $25,525 base price. I took advantage of their financing deal and got 1.9% for three years. The Edmunds invoice, w/o tax, was showing $24,450 and a TMV of $26,028 for this area, so I feel like I got a decent deal.
Not sure if civics have the same problem, I think they do.
MSRP- $29,475 incl dest.
Purchased for $26,379
Got them to throw in the remote car starter for free.
taxes at 8%= $2110.32
no documents fees.
Basically this is $395 below invoice then the free starter. Dealer was anxious to sell a car and very easy to deal with. LIA Honda.
Did all my negotiations via e-mail.
I just purchase a 2009 Accord EX-L w/ Navi + splash & trunk liner for the below:
Cost: 24,888 (over $1000 below invoice)
Dest: 670
Doc Fees: 150
Taxes: 2,071
Lic & Reg: 143
8 yr /120 mi: 940

they also included rear cargo liner and mud guards.
I sent specific quote requests to two different dealerships asking to be contacted only by email. Before I was finished submitting the second request, the salesman from the first dealership called me (I didn't answer). It wasn't long before I got a call from the salesman at the second dealership. Both also sent emails, to which I responded and reiterated my request for a quote. This was last night around 8 p.m. In his voicemail, one of the dealers was eager to let me know they would be there until 10 p.m. This morning I got an email from the other dealer letting me know they just received a new shipment of vehicles. But still - no quotes or direct responses to my request. I want to buy a car immediately, but I refuse to go into the dealership and spend half my day playing games. I just want a quote! Any suggestions?
I am in a market to buy accord 09 and wud appreciate if someone who has bought accord recently and provide price details.
I am in atlanta and dealer the best price i hv got so far for 09 accord lx-p model is 18995 + 1300 (destination and documentation fees) + tax and title which come out to be around 20,700. 09- ex will be 1500- 2000 more.
Is this a good deal or there is a room for negotition too?
I am also in double mind to select accord Vs CR-V !!!! Can anyone advise and share comment for each of the model.
Shall appreciate more responses.

I try to get a new car in the next two weeks. Here is the quote I got back from 1 dealer in S. California.
Is this a good deal? I thought the protection package will be included in the price but this dealer they charge me for that. I'm looking to pay around $23,000 OTD. Is this reasonable?
Out the door price $25,000.00, which includes
Vehicle: 2009 Honda Accord Sedan EX-L 4-cylinder automatic
Color: Alabaster Metallic Silver with Gray Leather
Other accessories and other items to be included:

When I went for a test drive I got that dealer's bottom line price. Of course the next morning I get a call and some special "incentives" just came in last night and would lower the price by $500. I told him I already had a lower quote than his new price and he immediately lowered it another $500. Then I took that price to 20 or so dealers (via email and phone) in North Carolina. Some dealers laughed at me when I asked them to beat 26,400 and told me the dealership was lying. Other said they couldn't do it. Once I got my lowest price I went back to the original dealer and asked for them to beat my lowest offer and throw in the trim package and I would buy the car immediately. It worked. I'm sure dealers hate buyers like me, but I got a car well below invoice and did not have to sacrifice anything (except my weekend!)

2009 Accord Coupe EX-L i4 w/Navi (Polished Metal)
All-weather mats
Splash Guards
OTD: $27,800
So I asked them to take off the navigation but everything else the same. They came back with $26,400. I thought that was pretty good, as all the dealers I was contacting weren't budging.
Today I get an email from one of the dealers saying they can give me the same car (just without navigation) for $25,900. I was surprised at such a large discount after I already got them down to what I thought was near the bottom. The woman has a few in stock.
I then went to the nearby Honda dealer that does not budge on their pricing... it's what's on the car and that's it (I honestly don't know how they stay in business). I saw the same car I was looking to buy... but it was a 4 cyl... and the price was only $50 less than what my deal is for the V6. I asked the guy if that was their bottom price and he said... well, typically it is... but there was a memo that came down this past weekend and they are now discounting cars to at or below invoice.
Makes sense to me why all of a sudden today I get the email stating the car's price dropped $500 a week later. I live in Delaware, but the dealers live in Maryland. I'll still pay the 3.75 tax in Delaware, cause that's where I'll be registering the car. So... a new 2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6 costs $25,900 which includes destination. Only thing to add to that is the 3.75 tax, tags and title.
I believe it to be a really good deal.
BTW, what was your selling price?
Guys, I'm looking at a 2008 EX-Coupe, 4 cylinder with Navigation and auto transmission. It has 115 miles on it, and their asking price is $24,759. What would you guys offer?
I'm in Cary, NC, dealing with AutoPark Honda.
Thanks!!
Sale price - 26,300 OTD
Tax - NC rate is 3%, but that was included in the 26,300
Doc fee - $0
Reg/Title/Tag Fee - $0
I only worked with OTD pricing, rather than start at a base number and then add taxes and fees. Much easier this way.
I got 3.9% financing.
As far as the wood trim goes, it does come on the front doors, but I also had them add the trim to the inside of the steering wheel instead of that grey plastic, which is considered an accessory. That is all the wood trim that Honda offers. That was also included in the sale price. The sales manager has someone who installs additional wood trim that is an exact match to the factory trim. I got that at cost and free install. It looks really nice with the add'l wood trim.

New here and looking for some feedback. I have been given this quote (or within $100) from 3 separate dealers:
Accord EXL Sedan AT w. splash guards and paint sealant for $23,145. This price includes the destination charge. TTL is paid after the fact through the Missouri DOR, so the only other fee is the doc prep of $189, for a total of $23,334.
What do you think? I got these as internet quotes, so do you think I can get them to go lower? Anyone have luck with getting them to throw in tinting for free?
