Yes, I got my SE AT for $18,362 (incl dest)+TTL. I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers. The MSRP on an SE is $22,075, and the invoice is $19,928. There's a $750 incentive to dealers and a 3% holdback, which leads to the price of around $18,500. My cousin in Cambridge, MA just bought a VP AT. MSRP is $19,575, invoice is $17,682, and she got the car for around $16,300.

So the Dealer hold back on your car would be around $598( 3% of $19,928)? Less the $750.00 from the Invoice price comes to $18,580.
Invoice 19,928
Rebate -750
3% -598
Total 18,580
What you PD -18,362
Dealer Lost $218
Going by these numbers you have given the dealer lost $218 on your purchase.
How much were your Documenatation fees? If they are less than $218 the dealer made no money on that car........

I had calculated $18,532 after invoice - 3% - $750. The fees I paid are listed in post #11749. I don't know why dealers are willing to sell at less than this price. If anyone has an idea, please let me know. I didn't have to negotiate at all to get $18,362 from the Fremont dealer who sold me the car. I also had $18,382 from San Leandro (after telling them about the other quote by phone) and $18,500 from Capitol Honda (after visiting the dealership and negotiating).

Doc fee was $45....wow 218-45=$173. They lost nearly $200 to sell you the car. makes me wonder how they even stay in business.
Maybe our "Undercover Sales Manager" can explain how Dealers can give deals as good as your's?

Thanks, he threw in mud guards and wheel locks. At first he was not willing to throw in any extras, but was able to convince him. I think the doc/prep fee is $199. OTD $26,972
Not sure if this was the best price in the area, but this was the only dealership that had the color and trim that I wanted.

yeah, so far SI Honda was one of the better dealerships I've dealt with. Yes, when mentioned the $750 to dealer incentive, thats when he was willing to make a deal with me. yeah, they preprinted the $199 doc/prep charge on the form. But after going to dealership to dealership this was the only one that had what I wanted and gave me the best price. The others won't go below invoice price. I got the EXL-V6. It seems like you got a good deal too..

Wow that is a great price including the dest. charge. My price did not include that. I still feel like I did well. Brewster did not push add ons as well. I think they knew I was trying to get out for the least amount of $$ possible. They had more LX's on the lot but I didn't want to pay any extra and the add ons didn't seem worth the extra $$ to me.
Are you happy with the VP?

i am happy so far... only 2 weeks so far tho. the car is essentially a station car and the car feels very solid, tight. my previous cars have been european(saab, volvo, audi, mb) and this is my first japanese car. i got sick of despite keeping my cars in good shape, with low miles, i would get whacked by depreciation and the maintenace and repair costs!!! my last audi over 6yrs cost me 25k in depreciation, not to mention maint & repairs that cost 200-500 a pop. i wanted something reliable and cheap to maintain and i feel i made an excellent choice with the accord. if i put on 5k a yr, i figure i can sell the car 6yrs later at 10k. i bought silver/black int. blue, my first choice, was completely unavailable. but i do like the silver/blk combo.... very classic colors. the gold and white looked somewhat "cheaper" looking. just my opinion.
i knew i got a great deal as this was identical price to an "insider price" i got thru my friend's contact at another nj dealer. nanuet was actually at 16950 until i told him about my better price. i actually started to feel guilty as i felt i was squeezing every last dollar. but hey, i didn't force them to do anything they didn't want to do. nanuet as i said in my orig post very very courteous and professional and i would urge anyone to go there last and they will beat the price. doc fee was 135... max allowed by nys and just tax and reg on top of that.
go to nanuet whether its VP, LX, EX. you'll like the guys at nanuet and most of all, their prices and attitude. end of month prob helps too i'm sure. i do think you got a good deal as well. its a few hundred bucks.... nothing to fret over. if you were off by 1000, i'd be mad. how are you liking yours?
