Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Honda Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience

You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
Current program (per Edmunds) is $249/mo with $1,699 at inception. Have not dealt with Honda dealers before. I'm in Philadelphia, PA area. Will they negotiate the lease. I've leased a number of Chrysler Corp vehicles and, typically, dealers knock off at least $1,000 of the up front money. Can I expect this from Honda dealers?

If you buy a car from an out of state dealer you may not have to pay these. Since you are in GA, check online with Hennessy in Woodstock, GA . They do have a hefty dealer fee, but the NET price from them is usually the lowest around. Dennis |

The pre-figured lease deals currently require a discount off of MSRP (i.e. "dealer participation"). Getting the car at invoice just means less out of pocket and/or lower payments. The lease money factor and residual are fixed and are the same for all with good credit, so the lower you get them to deal on price the less you pay for the lease. Dennis |

The steering wheel mounted controls would sure be nice and price out 16" alloy wheels at retail. A LOT of stuff for $629 extra. Note that the I4 LX now comes standard with the 6 disc in-dash changer, so that is not an extra in the SE package now. Dennis

You can buy an MP3 player for $100, but for a little more get a 2gb ipod nano, for a little more than that you can get the 4gb nano, but now you are close to the price of the 30gb video ipod, so might as well get that, but the 80gb video is just a little more and offers tons more storage so you get that. So went (logically?) from a $100 MP3 player to a $349 ipod in quick fashion Dennis |

Replying to: joevit (Nov 22, 2006 9:51 am) If you look at the price of the car including destination and dealer fees (not including tags, title, and taxes) and you are at or below invoice then you have a good deal. A couple of months back one dealer was doing the I4 SE AT sedan for $19,710 for the car with destination and dealer fees and another was/is doing it for invoice with fees included. Your profile does not show where you are located, but these dealers are in GA and KY if that is handy for you. But I would be shocked if you could not do around invoice for this car a lots of places with a little work. So break down your price and see how much is TTL and what you are paying for the car w/dest and dealer fees and then buy it from them if that works out to a nice price. Dennis |

| I just got my first quote of $22,050 (includes destination and all fees). This represents about $400 below invoice. I am beginning to contact other dealerships in the DC area now. Any suggestions on which dealers are easy to work with? | |
