I am looking at a 2003 Accord LX 4cyl AT which has a sticker of $20,460. I am trying to find out if $18,500. which includes all dealer charges, prep., (insp. sticker, 99.95 paper work charge) and mudguards is a good deal.
The only thing this price doesn't include is the sales tax.

moolman, Honda World Downey by sinjin_dog

What a story, you really did your homework.
I bought a LX Sedan 5 Speed Manual (4cyl) on Dec 27th at $17200 plus tax and license (3.49%).
However, my experience with Honda World in Downey was great, the internet sales manager was professional, no games and sold the car at the price agreed over the final phone call.
By the way, 5 speeder in LA area is hard to find. I was glad that Honda World had it in white and most of all, their price was the best price by $300 over nextbest price from Pasadena Honda.
I think they were happy to get rid of them, the car was built in August 2002.
 
One more thing, the fit/finish of the car (Japan built) is not nearly as good as my other Hondas I've had (I am in my mid 40s) before, I guess I have to buy an Acura. But so far, this is the smoothest Honda I've seen.

Pre-New Year's deal by zoltare

I was told more than once that the week after Christmas is the best time to buy a car.
 
Since we were looking to replace our 2000 Accord EX with the 03 EX-V6 I thought I'd give it a try.
 
Without any hassle, I got 100 over invoice, and got a decent (not great, although I could have pushed it harder) deal on my trade. Doc fees including reg, title, etc. were 90 bucks. I also took advantage of Honda financing at 3.49 percent.
 
So, I feel I got a good deal. It took all of 10 minutes to cut the deal and about 2 hours to show the car and complete the paperwork the next day.
 
Ohh, I live in Western Mass., and purchased from a local dealer here in Mass.
 
It appears that dealers, and not just Honda dealers, are willing to make a deal and this dealer said that his sales were up 24 percent this year over last. So, cars are being sold.

p.s. Love the V6!

accord 03 LX-I4 AT at 17,100 ??? by daytona01

The MSRP is 20,460
The invoice price is 18,462
Dealer hold back is 3% of MSRP => about $613
Real dealer cost = 18,462 - 613 = 17,849
 
Thus if the dealer sold the car for 17,100
it will lose about 750 bucks....
(not include dealer over-head and expense..)
 
Unless there are some rebate..., the 17,100 sound impossible...
 
Anyone can explain why, how dealer can sell the car as such way below their cost ??
(demo car, something wrong with the car ???)

Yeah, I had a hard time with Honda World Downey, I think the major reason for my problems with all the dealers was that I was looking for an EXv6 in graphite pearl with less than 10 miles on it. That car didn't exsist in the LA area last week. They should of got a bunch in this week. Also you bought a manual tranny, this is LA you were probably the only one looking for one haha.. The only manual I never saw was the coupe six speed but they may be coming out in January.

EX V6 with Navi ---> $200 below invoice by bjohnson6

Great deal form College Park Honda in MD. This dealer was trying to earn the President's Club award and was selling every single car $200 below invoice. I think that they sold about 65 cars between Dec 28-31.
My 2003 EX V6 with Navi cost me $25272 (excluding tax and tags) + $25 processing fee.

I think we have a new winner. I was wondering how people were doing on the NAVI systems. That's a great price. Enjoy! Oh, and tell me what you think of it. I have it and love it.

The deal was REAL. I picked out the car myself (of the 6 that were my color choice). Brand new, 0 miles, my choice, off the lot for 17,100. I picked up the vehicle this afternoon. This was a volume dealer, looking to move as many units as possible (end of month, end of year). I knew the vehicle was being sold at a loss and so did the dealer.
