I am curious how you are getting little over $22000. Could you give me break up? I may try to negotiate even more and see.....Did you talk to the internet sales guy for this price or just walked in and negotiated?
Thanks for help!
You're right to assume that I talked to the internet sales ppl. I wanted to compare the carsdirect price with the dealers, and they're not too off. The dealer is a bit higher but still in the mid to upper $22K range. But from my experience, I realize you have to do both, chat with them via email, then head into the dealership to let them know your serious. Using the internet is good to have dealers fight for the best deal, but then in the end, you still have to go into the dealership to secure whatever quote they toss you online. Hope this helps. Good luck! I hope you get the coupe at a good price. I'm hoping for the same here in the windy city.
I sent you an email.
Thank you
You haven't driven the G6 enough to know how well it'll hold up. Are you sure it'll be so great after 37,000 miles?
You're comparing a Pontiac V6 with an Accord 4 cylinder which isn't as fast nor should anyone expect it to be.
In the event your post is honest, I hope you enjoy your new Pontiac G6 which is probably one of GM's best cars........Richard
I think from looking at the other posts, the selling price should be closer to 24,500.
Any thoughts on whether the selling price is reasonable?
Thanks
I've heard good things about the G6 and I hope for your sake that pontiac has gotten its act together. Although a quick comparison of recalls/TSBs for both vehicles isn't very reassuring. Granted a number of the Pontiacs TSBs are purely instructional, But it still seems that Honda is a step or two above Pontiac in build quality.
2005 Accord - 1 Recall, 1 TSB
2005 G6 - 2 Recalls, 20+ TSBs
They don't know who drove it for all of those miles? What did the car fairy just show up and deposit this car on their lot? What kind of b.s. is that? How can they not know what the deal is with this car? Is it used? If it has been titled then it is used and that automatically drops the price at least $1800-$2000 bucks. Trust me, if you wanted to trade a used 2005 car with that many miles on it they would tell you the same thing, period! If it's titled, it's used!!!
Now, if it is not used then I would go straight to the General Manager and ask him that same question on where this car has been and for 1500 miles of it?
Better yet, buy a brand new one...with no miles...and you can get it for well below invoice....$26,615 for this car is way....way...way...to much!!!!! Hell, you can get a EX V6 Sedan Automatic trans for around 23,500 to 24,000 without even trying hard...add another $2K or so for the Nav and your at 25,500 to 26,000 for a brand new one...
I would think long and hard about buying this one...I would say thanks but no thanks and try again somewhere else or at least on another car. But if you choices are limited for dealerships then you may have a problem...
What I would do is send internet quotes out to dealerships in a 2 1/2 hour drive (approx 200-250 miles) around your location and you will be surprised how much money you can save just by going on a little road trip...this of course is just my opinion...
good luck...deal smart!
The saleman showed me an email he got that said the special 1.9% (and 2.9/3.9) financing options that were supposed to end on Sept. 6 in fact ended today, July 6th. The email also said to look for new deals starting today, but I emailed the internet rep and she said there were no new financing options. Anyone know what the deal is with this? Maybe they can backdoor me into the good financing...
For example, for an '05 Accord EX V^ 4-door sedan (w/out NAV) I recently got a quote of $23,100 (incl destination of $515). That is about $1500 below invoice.
Also, if the car you are considering has 1500 miles on it, it is USED and the price you are being quoted is too high in my opinion.
Not sure what trim/specs you are looking at but the '05 2-door EX V6 coupe with NAV invoices (incl dest) at $26,560. If you subtract $1500 from invoice (as I've recently been quoted by dealer for another trim of the EX) you get about $25,000 before TTL.

Thanks in advance.
mosey on over to the "Car Shopper Forum" inside this website and click on "Real World Trade In Values". Look right above where you would input your post and there is an example of how to post your info about the car you want to trade in...
i.e. make, model, trim line, etc...once you have filled out all the info about your call just post it and wait for the magic man Terry to give you the straight scope on what to expect for your trade...it's amazing...he is usually right on the money...although I hear his golf game is suspect... )
It is off the website too. Kinda BS if you ask me. They clearly had it posted until September 6th.
I was deciding between the Camry SE and the Accord LX.....Well this is dealing from the bottom of the deck in my book. Looks like Camry gets the nod for good sportsmanship.
The salesguy I talked to - who is a straight shooter - did not know yet what the clearance "event" would be, but he though it would be unlikely for the dealer money to change mid-month. So I assume that discounted finance terms (in addition to the already cheap lease deals) will be all the "event" will bring. It could also be a limited term deal (1.9% for 36 months) or a decent term (1.9% or 2.9% for 60 months).
Someone paying cashing or doing a lease, I don't see the need to wait - get a car now while the selection is best :-) If financing, then wait and see IF they do a promo rate for the "Event". For cash/lease folks - If they come out a with a killer rate then wouldn't it be HARDER to make the best deal with all the folks "Flooding" the dealership to take advantage of the cheap rate? If they have them lined up to buy, not much incentive to discount the car as much?

Apparently the sales manager drove it those miles. The car is untitled, with 1500 miles on it. But it does sound like the 05 Accord Coupe V6 EX-L w/ Navi & 6spd should be around $25,000 new, less with 1500 miles on it.
Would the pricing matter between the 6spd and the auto? There don't seem to many 6spd's out there.

Auto transmission will cost you an extra $800-$1000 dollars....but again, if I was you I would get a new one...it would be my guess that those 1500 miles were driven kind of hard...if you know what I mean...
It's like having a rental car for a week...people tend to push heavy on the gas pedal and hard on the brakes...not to mention...who cares about dinks and dents...
good luck...let us know what happens!!
Where are you looking to buy a car?

I am looking for a new honda accord 4 cyl/4 door EXL. I am getting a price of 23100 OTD from a couple of dealers here. What do you guys think? Is that a good deal?
Also does anybody know if prices have gone down in the past due to clearance sale? I am hearing mixed responses so I am not sure if I should wait till the clearance starts or buy right away. Do you know if anybody has gotten a better deal thru clearance sale?
Please share your experiences/opinons.
thank you.

That way people can direct you to certain dealerships where they got a good deal!
I am getting a new Honda Accord EXL 4 cyl for $21,300. Taxes in San Diego county is 7.75%. so in San Diego california, Tax + Fees = $ 1,800. OTD price is $23100.
Is $21300 a good number for the accord?
