The state added this to help make up for the revenue they lost when the Tim Eyman deal happened. License fees are still WAY less thna before.
Your salesperson doesn't know what he/she is talking about!
"state auto tax add-on" ??? What a joke!
Earlier also got quoted $19,738 for the 05 EX Coupe which dealers don't even have in stock anymore. So I'm actually still choosing between getting the newer 06 EX Coupe or reaping the discounts off of the still available 05 LX SE Coupe (There's that $1200 factory to deal marketing support). Advice, anyone?
The car is great and I paid $500 over listed Invoice. (Not too bad for a desired color),
I did not buy anything extra and appreciate the new powertrain warranty on the 2006 models. I know this is a Honda and I should not need the warranty. I actually wrote Honda a letter of compliement regarding the dealer in Salinas (Sam Linder Honda). I really did not do any negociating and they were very professional. Entire transaction was completed in about 90 minutes.
This is my first Honda. (My previous cars were Porsche, Lexus, and MBZ...I must say I love my Honda and really think the MPG is terrific!!!)
Good Luck!
Bought from Ancona Honda in KC. Great experience. Great salespeople. Still takes too stinking long to complete the whole process (90 minutes), but I survived. No negotiating to speak of. Deal was made in about 2 minutes over the phone.
Earlier this year, I sold my '92 Accord with 245,000 miles (still had the original clutch, hence my return to a manual trans). Three weeks ago I sold my '95 Legend with 163,000 miles. Both were touble-free cars, and I look forward to spending another 5-7 years and 150k+ miles with my '06.
That's a very good quote that you got at $21000 otd in Virginia.Thats excellent.We purchased our 2006 Honda Accord SE AT Silver for $21500 OTD in Southern CA--Spirit HOnda in El Monte.
Mendota99 --try to ask for a lower price from your quote of $20262--I think by this time the dealers are willing to come down on the prices a little more.
We purchased ours first week of Oct.
I hope this helps you guys out.
We signed a contract with a non refundable clause in NJ. With that, we put $500 down on an EXL/Navi that the dealership was supposed to "find." Long story short, they couldn't find one on the whole Eastern Seaboard in the Desert Mist. They only checked three states, I checked the rest! We asked for the money back, the rep took all the data and said he would take care of it. A week later, we went out of state and had a wonderful buying experience, great deal (over the phone, no money down) but a different color. A week after that, still no refund. So I called my sales rep who sold us the car and asked for his advice. It was a credit card transaction, so I knew that I could always go that route. I was advised to bring our plight to the attention of the General Manager. I knew better than to call him, and I sure wasn't going to leave him a detailed message for obvious reasons. So I got his name, his exact email address, and I sat down and wrote a narrative that detailed our experience. By 10 o'clock in the morning, the idiot who had a brain fart called my husband asking for the account numbers. It seems like he lost the paperwork. Early in the afternoon, I received a very cordial email from the GM who in essence said that he was very embarrassed. I received a telephone call from his right hand man who assured me that the refund process was finalized.
Lessons learned: DON'T SIGN A CONTRACT WITH A NON REFUNDABLE CLAUSE. DON'T GIVE MONEY TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A CAR THAT THEY HAVE TO TRADE. Go online and find it yourself. Then deal with the people who have the car.
I am looking at a 2006 Honda Accord EX Sedan, 2.4L automatic with leather.
I was told the mark-up is 3% over cost.
Here is the breakdown.
Invoice Price--- $22,496.00
Destination------$ 550.00
Inspection fee--$ 175.00
Total $23,221.00
Mark-up 3% $ 679.00
Total Cost $23,917.00
Is this a good deal????
Thanks!!
Here is what I got from Wilde Honda:
2006 Honda Accord EX-V6 6-sp Manual Sedan
MSRP (Window Sticker) Price: $27,850
Internet-only discount: ($3,232)
E-price: $24,618*
*E-price includes Honda's $550 destination charge, but does not include sales tax, registration fees, any accessories or the $89 service fee.
Highly recommend them. Note that due to finding the color & model I wanted, I made it clear that I was willing to pay over $25000 and they still quoted me the lower price. That's the way it should be and I really appreciated it. They made it very easy and I pick it up tomorrow!
Thanks
The best prices I have for a 06 Accord AT sedan LX are $19, 200 before Tax+fees + Docs
Thanks
I could save about $2k if I got an LX SE model, but it's not available in the Carbon Bronze color. It also doesn't have a sunroof.
The quoted price seems really good to me for the EX manual. What do you guys think?
1) The 2005 engine is an i-VTEC
2) The 2005 has the independent Wishbone Front Suspension and the independent Wishbone Rear Suspension.
While the specifications do not deny what I say above, they also don't tell the whole story, making the difference between the model years appear to be more than they are.
But need buy before the end of Oct.
Is this a reasonable deal? Have to make a decision soon.
Thanks
I have to make a decision by tomorrow. Hope someone will have some advises for me. I got the following 2 deals and I am really hesitating on making a choice:
1. 2006 Accord Coupe LX MT $16300 (destination charge included) + TTL and taxes: $4000 below MSRP, $2000 below invoice. (mud guards and winter mats included)
2. 2006 Civic LX Sedan AT $16700 (Invoice at $16375)
Well, I really had my eyes on the coupe, and as you can see I got a very good deal (thanks from all of your post guys. That's how I could shoot for so low). However, this dealer had about twelve 2005 accord coupe while only one accord sedan 2005 (an EX manual) letf on the lot!!!! Is there anything wrong with the coupe??? Are people shying away from them in favor of the sedan? I also saw plenty of those used coupe returned after 1-3 years when surfing online (maybe this is just an impression since I was putting my eyes on one). I am asking this question to those who owned a coupe and after the "initial falling in love story", they felt that it was really not practical and sold it. I just got married and we are planning to have kids in 2-3yrs... We have currently a 1999 Civic SE sedan as a second car.
The other car we looked at with my wife is the sedan Civic 2006 (I was able to get decent deal given that everyone get this car at MSRP). My wife would prefer the Civic... I opted for an auto as we wouldn't have been able to get an MT within a month with the color we wanted. Hard to find.
So now, my second question (maybe related to the first one) is beyond personal preference, would the resale value down the road (3yrs or 10yrs) of the accord 2005 coupe (or sedan if coupe is not really the way to go) be more than that of the Civic 2006 (given that I am paying pretty much the same price for both at this point)???
Please let me know what you think (hope someone will read that by tomorrow. The deal holds only before the end of the month)
Thanks

In addition to the above price, the dealer quoted some extras: $4 tire recycling fee, $491 appearance package fee, $99 processing fee, $206 registration and what seems to be the standard $550 destination fee. I question some of these extras. Are they valid?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
PT.
is 8% though.
Open Road Honda has three V6 MT's in stock, two w/o Nav and the other with Nav. I asked for their best price and they replied with Sticker - $29,300 w/Nav or $2k less w/o. I told them if I wanted to pay sticker, I could choose any Honda dealership.
Have you considered the lone '05 EX sedan they have left? I guess that depends on if you can both drive the manual (i.e., your wife as well). If she will be the primary driver and prefers an automatic, then leave that decision up to her (Civic auto vs. Accord manual). Why the Accord sedan? Mainly because of the kid and car seat factor again. It is a bigger car, and your other car is already a Civic. Also, if you take this car for out-of-town trips, the Accord sedan will have more room for luggage and baby stuff (the trunk is slightly larger even compared to the Accord coupe: 14 cu. ft. vs. 13 cu. ft., respectively). The Civic could be cramped. Then there is always the debate: is a bigger car (Accord) safer than a smaller car (Civic)?
So, I'm not really sure if I helped here because I just threw in a 3rd option. You might not even get as good a deal on the Accord sedan, since they only have 1 and the dealer knows it will eventually sell, whereas they have a lot of work ahead to sell twelve '05 coupes. But do think about the future and take into consideration the "baby factors": car seat installation and removal, space for diapers and other baby essentials for road trips, safety of a larger car.
Tax was 6% and add to that 275 NJ DMV fee for 4 year registration. $45 for dealer doc fee.
hmin's deal is much better though, almost 1000 below invoice if I understand correctly!

Apparently Honda dealers receive a $1200 sale support from the manufacturer on 2005s (the manager was telling me that it was $1200 on the V6 and $700 on the 4 cyl, is that true???)
I also received an ad by email from honda of bloomfield [Detroit: www.hondaofbloomfield.com] advertising the accord EX V6 for $22488 (instead of $27365), so I would not hesitate to be very aggressive on the price.
And for those interested they have a special end of the month for this Monday for the Accord 2006 LX for $19249 (instead $21375) http://hondaofbloomfield.com/Specials-PrintAd.aspx
Good luck
for EX V6 auto w/o Nav is approx $23500.
The dealer is Paramus Honda, NJ.
They are very nice people to deal with. It's unfortunate that
my wife says "no". She thinks it too quick to close a deal on my
first day of car shopping
PT.
They seem to fall short of sales target for this month and thereofore push hard.
So you may take a shot tomorrow to get a nice deal there.
Good luck!

I have been "lurking" on this forum for many months now, and finally decided to purchase a Honda Accord. I received an Internet Quote from Criswell Honda in Germantown, MD (I live in Virginia across the river) for a 2006 Accord LX SE Sedan 4-cylinder Automatic for $19,450 ($72 over invoice from my calculations). The only "add-on" that I was charged for were wheel locks for another $99 when I went to pick up the car, which I didn't mind paying since this car has nice alloy rims (in my opinion ).
This quote was over $800 less than the local dealership in Fairfax, VA that quoted me their "Employee Only Price" special that they were advertising for the weekend, plus I save another $199 by the fact that Maryland dealerships charge a processing fee of $100 versus Virginia dealerships that seem to be charging $299. All-in-all, I was very happy with my deal and the salesman I worked with (since I can't post his name on this forum, I hope I can post his initials...A.R.). No pressure and I spent the better part of a Saturday evening with the salesman test driving the new Civics and Accords.
The out-the-door price I paid after the wheel locks, Standard Destination Charge, Virginia Tax (3%), Tags and Title came to approximately $20,875. I've only had the car for 2 days, but am happy with my decisions on which car to buy and on the dealership to buy from.
Thanks for everyone's input on this forum, too!">
What is the name of the dealer ? :
Does anyone know which dealer has the best price on a 2005 or 2006 Accord LX Automatic in Texas?...or neighboring states
I am not really particular about the year. I am looking for the best deal possible.
Thanks in advance for the information.
I got OTD price on 06 Accord LX SE in Virginia 20,590. Which dealership offered you $21,000 quote?
good experience there.
If you are looking for a new Accord, consider a "leftover" '05. There are some bargains out there, if you can find what you want. Lots of EX models especially.
Happy hunting for your new Honda.
Mike
Would the 06' VP or the 05'LX be the better choice?
Thanks for the advice.
I stay in Hackensack,NJ and looking for prices on 05 Accord EX-L V4 (NAVIGATION ) .Can some one post what prices they paid for this model in the tri-state area. Also some suggestions on which dealership could give me the best deal.
Thanks in advance,
