#1436 of 24566 Pre-New Year's deal by zoltare Jan 02, 2003 (7:15 am)
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.   jg   p.s. Love the V6!
#1437 of 24566 accord 03 LX-I4 AT at 17,100 ??? by daytona01 Jan 02, 2003 (7:19 am)
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.
#1439 of 24566 EX V6 with Navi ---> $200 below invoice by bjohnson6 Jan 02, 2003 (9:27 am)
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.

Which dealer did you go to? Was it Herb Chambers? I know they have some serious deals going on.

Boch Honda, on the Automile. The pace was frantic New Year's Day.
#1445 of 24566 Accord EX-L Automatic by mcadrecha Jan 02, 2003 (5:41 pm)
I just bought an EX-L, 4-cyl, blue with charcoal leather. It had 95 miles on it.   Price including destination charges was 21,722 + TL. I did it mostly over the phone and via email with the internet fleet manager at Dublin Honda (Bay Area, CA). Interest rate is 3.49%   I didn't get any extras. I thought of getting the acrylic moon roof wind deflector but when I was on the test drive, I took the car on the freeway and at freeway speed there was no wind in the front or the back seat and I didn't get that "thumping" wind noise normally encountered with a moon roof, so I figured I didn't need the deflector. It appears the new design eliminates the interior wind and the thumping noise. And the car accelerated nicely even on the uphill grades. The 4 cylinder appears to be pretty peppy.   Anyway my wife and I arrived at the dealer at 4 PM on New Years Eve and didn't close the deal until around 6-ish. So, it was dark by the time I really looked at the car. The next morning, I noticed some swirls and surface scratches on the paint, probably from the person who "detailed" the car for us -- nothing deep so a good buffing will probably eliminate this. I called the salesperson and he said they would take care of it at no charge, plus a ding in one of the door panels.   Moral of the story: go early enough in the day to ensure a good inspection under daylight conditions... its easier to inspect the car with good light.   I also said no to the extended warranty at $699. For 40 bucks a year instead, Geico Ins will provide bumper-to-bumper warranty as long as I own my car, so after the 3 year Honda warranty expires, I will still have a warranty as good as Honda's but at 40 bucks a year. Since I keep my cars for about 8 years, that equals 320 bucks for a little peace of mind.   Anyway, I think I got a good deal, as the 21,722 was basically invoice plus destination charge. The 95 miles made me think this car had been around the inventory for a while... but they did have to get it from a different dealer   Thanks to everyone here for posting their experiences. It was really helpful and I gained a lot from it. We love the car, and hope it performs up to the reputation Honda has.   MEC
