If the dealership has to get the car you want from another dealership, then you are more likely, I think, to face the add ins issue. So, you are better off finding your car yourself at another dealership that you know the dealership you are working with works with (that was really convoluted, but I hope you get what I mean). This way, you know whether there are add ins to begin with.
Buying a car on the lot is always easier.
North Atlanta dealership.
Too bad you haven't been here in a while, but that was my car . I brought a 1978 Civic to Adak to replace the beautiful 1982 Honda Prelude that I had before I got orders to Adak. In 1985 I was stationed there. Everyone told me not to bring a 'nice' car to the island. She was sort of a copper color and I have a photo with her in the background somewhere. She was very reliable and I only lost control of her once and we slid into a snowbank. One other time she got stuck because the snow was so deep that the underside didn't clear it. I sold her to my boss when I left. I'm thrilled that she still ran at that time. She was a great car and deserved a better fate than Adak, but shipping cars off island is usually not worth it. Thanks for the great story!

I got an offer from the local dealer in Little Rock, AR for a new 2009 Accord EX-L (4-cylinder) color white for $23,488 which includes everything (destination, document charges, etc.) including cargo tray, splash guards and window tint. The price doesn't include the sales tax. I have talked to another dealer here and he said he will try to beat the price. Lets see what he says tomorrow. What do you guys think?
Thanks

Thanks
Al-
Loving the car though! handles and feels great!
pay too much though?
24,654 Base
670 Dealer Fee
25,324 + 6% Tax and Florida Tags
26,986.20 - OTD
Al-
$24654 is not a bad price at all for an EX-L V6. If he drops the destination / dealer fee, then I'd go for it. I did get an offer for a V6 for 23,900 (just as an FYI).
24,924 + 6% Tax and $200 New Tags = OTD = $27,250.
I think I'm going to keep shopping around a little.
Al-
Dearlers are selling coupe like crazy. Coupes are gone even before they arrive at the dealer's yard.
That's what they told you to make you feel good. I doubt they sell more coupe than the sedan. You probably have a hard time finding a coupe w/ your options but b/c coupe has a small market. They don't carry as many coupe as the sedan.
That beats my preferred dealership by quite a bit, but I've still decided to ride it out a while longer.
Is your coupe an EXL with navi ? or the regular EXL V6 ?
I bought an 09 EXL-V6 with out nav for $ 26,000 at the end of april. Congrats to you though- you should be very happy with it.
gooddeal2 - You're right. They didn't have the V6 coupe w/o navi, and the only V6 white coupe is the one I bought which comes with the navi. I placed the order two days before it arrived at the dealership. I drove away a new car with only 4 miles young.
One dealership I spoke with told me dealers are allocated a certain number of coupes they can order in a given quarter/year - i assume based on the number of cars they typically sell / how big the dealership is...
I've already shared my negotiated sales price for an 09 EXL 4cyl coupe (21900). After signing the "contract" for the manual at 21900, they couldn't find one in four states in the color scheme we wanted. So they got me an automatic and tried to add $800 to the deal. We started to walk away, and they accepted my $400 price tag of the automatic transmission. So, final negotiated price tag for the car was 22300.
Out the door price: 23480.40
Price: 22300
Processing fee: 385
Govt fees: 90.50
VA Taxes: 719.11
OTD: 23494.61
Date bought: May 28, 2009
I think we're just lucky to meet a salesman who met his quota.
And thank you for the price info!
Meanwhile, Camry' sales went through the roof last month.
Don't be surprised if they start discounting the Accord more heavily this month, or in July at the latest.
I think I got a good deal based on truecar.com price data.
What do you all think?
I also bought a red EX-L 4cyl with all that you said plus rear spoiler and i paid 23500 before taxes and yes they added 299 for life time oil changes so the actual price is 23800 before taxes. I know i or you cannot do anything now, just out of curiosity how much did you pay before taxes.
I had a trader did you have a trade.
Enjoy your car
I will be visiting the stealership on weekend and I think I will be able to negotiate a better deal. I have a trade in too but I will try to sell it myself since I know stearship will not pay good money on that.
Just wondering: Deal or No Deal?
I've seen a lot of complaints on the forums about a brake issue with '08 and '09 Accords, and a lot of complaints about the seat being uncomfortable.
Would appreciate feedback from owners of '09 Accords re: any complaints about brakes and/or the seat?
Any other problems?
Request internet quotes from Buerkle, Hopkins, Inver Grove, Bloomington Richfield, and Ken Vance in Eau Claire, WI. I was shopping last month and I got an initial internet quote from Buerkle for $23,200. I ended up getting it for $22,900 from another dealer after several days of negotiating. I let them know up front that I knew about the $1500 hidden factory-to-dealer incentive and expected to get every penny of it. I'm not sure that the same incentives last month are still available, does anyone else know? If, according to an earlier post, Accord sales were down in May versus April, there may be more hidden incentives coming out later.
Don't be in a hurry. Several of the salespeople that I dealt with tried to use the "factory has stopped making and shipping 2009s, they have all of the 2009s that they are going to get". My comeback was "would you rather make a sale here and now or take a chance that this car will still be sitting here this time next month?" Don't be afraid to give them your number and tell them to talk to their sales manager and call you with their best price, then leave. I actually made the final deal on my car over the phone and I didn't have to play games with the sales manager.
One other thing, check out http://www.ebhaccessories.com/, they sell discounted Honda accessories. Of the dealers that discount accessories, they had the best prices that I could find. If they try to tag you with dealer-installed options, use their prices to see how badly the dealer is trying to stick it to you. Splash guards are $68, all-season mats are $98, the trunk tray is $92, and painted body side moldings are $149.
Again, don't be in a hurry and do your research. They won't mess you around if you know what you want and have other quotes in hand. Know what you are willing to spend and stick to it. They'll offer to "split the difference" to get you to come up a few hundred dollars, don't fall for it.
Good luck on your adventure.
It was 24K even and 3.9%. I hate the hassle of buying car! I had no trade and I am cool with what I paid. Life too short to hassle with 10 dealers to drop price a couple of hundred bucks. Daughter loves her new ride! That is all that counts!
This is supposed to be including tinting, mud guards, and something else I forgot - I think a plastic trunk protector floor mat - which they were adding on as an additional charge . I didn't want these so I was told the price for these was removed.
The title fee is $28.25 and Doc Fee is $399.50, so the out the door price (NOT including sales tax of $1,985.12) - is $25,642.75
Assuming I am approved for 2.9% Honda financing for 36 months, was told the bill would be $804/month for the 36 months.
(I don't know if the sales tax is also included in the monthly payments - or do I have to pay that up front separately? For that matter, is the Title Fee and Doc Fee included in the monthly payments? - I'll check on all of these questions with them tomorrow).
Would appreciate all feedback on the deal being offered.
Also doesnt out the door mean all charges including TTL and other fees.
Tax in NV is 7.75% ( but I see the tax that was put on my estimate amounts to 7.87% for some reason - perhaps miscalculation).
I did not include tax in my total figure, as this varies from state to state and I wanted people to be able to compare the deal I was offered to other deals and give me feedback as to whether it's a good or bad price, and adding in the tax would confuse the issue.
I see that the salesperson left the vehicle licensing fee off of the price quote.
The main thing is that I was offered a 2009 Accord Sedan Automatic 4cyl EX-L with Nav for $25,215, not including TTL. Extra charges include a $399.50 Doc Fee.
Good? Bad? Can I do better? By how much?
Thanks.
Sooner_chot- No, I got the EX model, with the cloth interior. I don't like leather. I went to the Honda dealer in McKinney.
pembriar- The dealership in San Antonio said they would drop $3 grand off the EX-L V6, but I'm sure I could've talked them down a little more than that. It really helps to keep walking out the door whenever you don't like the number they offer you!
was pre-approved on the AHFC website, but didnt get anything else.
first payment off is different deal, it is just a 'discount' where dealer increases car price for most of that one month payment.
no free lunch, everybody who thinks otherwise has been fooled.

I have got the OTD (sale price + all fees and taxes) quote from three dealers EarnHardt, Arrowhead, and Showcase Honda (all in Phoenix, AZ) for 2009 Accord 4 Cyl EX-L with Navigation. These quotes include the manufacturer to dealer cash of $1500.
Showcase Honda: $28,400
Arrowhead: $28700
Earhardt: $29300
This is my first car buying experience and I know I am not a good negotiator. Need your advice and guidance about these prices. Please advise if someone bough a accord recently in Phoneix and if they have got a better deal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Can you please forward the email to me? My email id is KoodaKarkat@yahoo.com

For example:
CSR BL for 09 EX-L V6 AT coupe: 26,950 invoice - 579 holdback = $26,371
...but if you subtract the $1500 (oddly not shown in CSR BL) , you get $24,871 .
Other examples:
CSR BL --> 09 EX-L V6 AT coupe w/ nav: 28,983 inv - 623 holdback = $28,315
MINUS 1500 = $26,815
CSR BL --> 09 EX-L V4 auto coupe: 24,736 - 530 = $24,206
MINUS 1500 = $22,706
CSR BL --> 09 EX-L auto sedan: 24,645 - 528 = $24,117
MINUS 1500 = $22,617
This CSR Bottom Line service is cool if you like to play with numbers, BUT you MUST keep up-to-date with the rebates/incentives listed here and incorporate them if CSR does not. Fun to check out different configurations. My concern is, does the $1500 cut into or replace the typically $500+ holdback listed, or is it fair to assume one can do $1500 + $500 and assume $2000+ total dealer cash? If the $1500 replaces the usual $500+, then of course my calculations are off.
Aside: I WAS shopping for a 09 Sedan EX-L manual, but those are so hard to find here in TX, and my situation's now changed such that I'm no longer looking...
