If you already bought that I am really curious to know for how much you got that.
 
I bought my 2007 auto EX-L V4 for 23165 + TTL from Burnsville dealer.

Just bought my 2006 Honda Accord LX Auto - Price 18200 + NJ Tax 1274 + Reg 234 + Doc fee 189 + Tire 7.5 = $19,904 OTD. Could I have done better - any thoughts?
 
I found this forum a great source of research and information sharing about buying experiences. Got the above price on internet - thought would be able to negotiate on this, but the dealer would not bulge. The car was probably factory delivered the last night, with seat wrappings and just 3 miles on it. This, together with the fact that most of the dealers now are out of 2006 models, rushed me to close out the deal. Otherwise, I was expecting them to come down on the price a little more, with it being month end and all.
 
Did not take any dealer options or warranties. Got some part financed for 5 years at 7.5% (which I believe is too high for someone with excellent credit history), but I plan to make a few big payments early to keep the interest low and then close the loan out in 6-8 months (no early payment penalty). Any idea how early payout effects credit history, as that was one of the primary reasons why I opted for financing? May help me get better interest rates when I go out shopping for a house.

So its stated you must make 6mo. of payments? So your payments would be eg $9700 (two checks --one big un marked "to be applied toward principal) $50,$50,$50... In theory it should go down as "paid as agreed". There are many components to your fico score. Not all home lenders go by it either. In the perverse world of debt paying your debts off early (although still as agreed) could knock off a few points for all I know.

Imsanny, I am in NJ also. Where did you get your car? Honestly, I think your price seems a little bit high considering you still need to pay the dealer documentary fee. Also, are you saying that you got your new car financed for 7.5% apr? What do you mean by "some part financed"?
 
But anyway, enjoy your new car. I am looking for the SE model but it is all out around where I live.

FYI, Yesterday, I called Mahwah Honda for the price on 07 accord SE , they said MSRP 22200, invoice 20089, offered price 20800+tax+fees. I asked for lowering the price, he said if I bother to come over, he can go lower.

I got it from Planet Honda and they had the best quote (I also had quotes from OpenRoad, Garden State, Madison, Kay and Nanuet, but OpenRoad, Kay and Nanuet later ran out of this car). With the extra financing doc fee of $72, the total out through door price came to an even 20k.
 
Once I got to the dealership, I decided on financing half of this amount. I was told earlier that the rate would be between 5 and 6, but was charged 7.5 finally, which sucked.
 
I guess with 2006 inventory running out fast, specially on Accord LXs - because the 2007 model is the same car at a higher price, I lost some of my bargaining power. Just curious - what are other folks paying for the LX in NJ?
 
But hey, it is the exact color I wanted, and probably a car that wasn't sitting long in their inventory. And, the dealer threw in free window etching ($200 value). Also, they mentioned something about free oil changes for life of car. I guess I should not complain

Hi,
 
I bought the 2006 accord EX-L last week Bethesda Maryland.
OTD was $23500. It is a silver and last one available.
 
Does anybody knows how I can extract manufacture date of the car?
 
Thanks,

Enjoy the new car. But the dealers are cheating us. My friends got a price quote for Accord 2007 LX Sedan Auto around $20300. But considering the 2006 model is much older than 2007 model. We are buying a car sitting there for almost one year. I don't think the period of 7-10 is a good season to buy old car anymore.

Does this $20300 include tax? If so, I paid almost the same price for a 1 year old model.
