Agreed, $900 is too high, that's why I wanted them to come off the $389 doc fee, and I already had their assurance that the protection package was included in the price, or whatever-they-want-to-do-with-it-as-long-as-I'm-not-paying. That still might be "too high," but I'm trying to weigh the benefits of buying from the local guy. This time, everything with them (so far) has been very pleasant.
 
I'm in Fayetteville NC. Local guy is 4 miles from home and work (1 mile from wife's work). There are 2 other dealers within 40 miles and I think at least three more within 80 miles.
 
I don't mind them making just a few hundred bucks, I mean where I work we don't give ANYTHING away, except for that one time where the general manager sold his dad at cost. Even employees are 10% over cost.
 
Maybe I'll just tell them to include whatever doc fee they want to charge in the $18,595 and be done with it. Meet me in the middle. I could drive 40 miles for a couple hundred but then I'd have to take it to the local guy for service... You know?

Oh yea, I love manuals... and cars in general! I'm 25 and have had, lets see... 5 cars so far (I've been keeping them longer and longer though, last two were 2.5 and 3+ years respectively). Two of the 5 have been sticks, my first car a 1990 Mazda 626 DX (great car) and then my 4th car, a 1998 Mazda 626 ES-V6 (another creat car). Too bad there is so much Ford in the new Mazdas ("average" reliability at best). But I'm getting off topic... Anyways, this will make it 3 manuals out of 6 total!

I rarely, almost never, get service from the dealer that sold me the car so "I could care less" where I get it as long as I get the best deal. All dealers are subject to customer rating for both the sales and service/maintenance process so the local dealers treat me just fine when I have to take my car in. As a reward I give them good reviews with the surveys and they get my money for maintenance items.
 
I also would not do a lot of driving to save just a little money, get it pretty close and I can live with it. You can't always squeeze the last nickel out of every deal and waste your time and worry trying to do it.
 
For example, each $100 in your $18,595 deal is 0.54% of the price so if you were $400 apart that is 2.15% of the price of the car. If your favorite steak house raised the price of the sirloin special from $14.95 to $15.27 would you order a grilled cheese instead? Probably not
 
Get the best deal you can and as long as it is close to a super price get your new ride and be happy.

Accord EX-L Sedan AT for $24,227.57 by dwynne

I got an e-mail from Holmes Honda in Shreveport, LA with what APPEARS to be some nice prices on Accords. I got on their e-mail list when shopping for deals on an Accord, S2000, and/or a Civic.
 
They show the EX-L sedan AT for $24,227.57 . Invoice appears to be $25,414 so even with $750 off invoice you are looking at $24,664 so the price APPEARS to be $436 under invoice less the $750 incentive. I don't know if they add any fees onto that price or not.
 
I have no connection with Holmes and never ended up getting a car from them, but in the past they were known as a high volume, low price Honda dealer.
 
The web page is at this link and I would assume anyone in their Internet sales department could help you. If you live within an easy drive they may be worth a shout.
 
The e-mail says they have similar savings on all in stock Accords.

I got a quote last year from Holmes Honda for an Accord-SE Sedan AT 4 cyl for $18,983. I live in Louisiana & that was the cheapest quote I received. The only thing wrong with that is it's about 3 hours away.

This is the lowest OTD price I have seen here for 07 SE AT.
Congratulations!

Dradcliffe,
Just want to get a confirmation that $18900 you mentioned was before tax and plate transfer. Thanks!
