Hi Jan, I'm interested in a the accord sedan and invoice in this area seems good for one. I was just wondering if the salesman, John, said how long he was willing to offer invoice to anyone who mentioned your reference. Thanks a lot for the very useful info! MC

Even those who get the car at night, have no fear, just ask the dealer to write on the contract that you have 24 -72 hrs to check it out. I picked up my car at night and asked them to put it writing and they happily agreed, as they already had a 72 satisfaction guarantee that covered the whole car. Basically I think any dealer worth anything would agree to at least give you 24 hours to check it out. I appreciated the 72 hr period as it was over Thanksgiving and I was in no rush to worry about the car. They even made it a 72 business hour guarentee so that I wouldn't have to worry about losing Thanksgiving day as a day to inspect it since nothing is open that day. It was Jim Coleman Honda in MD. I think they were great. I got the NAVI $100 over invoice its second week out with no hassles... if that helps. Email them and ask for Jonathan Barnswell... tell him Ben says Hi!

#1450 of 24573 Something To Consider... by atlantabenny Jan 03, 2003 (11:40 am)
...in determining how much downpayment to give for installment purchases.   If personal cash reserve levels and savings on credit card interest are priority, consider minimizing downpayment to take advantage of ongoing low aprs on cars.   For example, instead of giving $8k downpayment, give $3k instead and keep the $5k for other minor purchases where credit cards would otherwise be used.   With credit cards now at, say, 21.9% and car purchases at 3.9%, one is saving 18% in interest for every dollar used for a cash purchase instead of a credit card purchase.   If the money is kept in an interest-earning checking account, this saving could improve further.
#1451 of 24573 Accord LX 4 Cyl for 17000 by vadiyaboy Jan 03, 2003 (2:59 pm)
My friend bought an Accord LX 4 cyl Auto for $17000 plus tax, tags, proc fee for a total of 17900 out the door in Northern VA area. New car with 17 miles on it, silver. I was with him when the deal was done, so i'm not kiddin'. There are some incredible deals on the Accord if you are willing to find them. I was looking to buy one too, but bought a Camry. By the way, my friend got quotes from other dealers as well that were in the 17200-17500 range.
#1452 of 24573 Deals by richm4 Jan 03, 2003 (5:36 pm)
Are the good deals still out there now that the 2002 year end push is over with ?
#1453 of 24573 by anonymousposts Jan 03, 2003 (5:41 pm)
They will be on certain models. The LX is the volume seller for Honda so there are usually always good deals out there for them. Coupes will probably be slightly higher in some areas.
#1454 of 24573 Don't go to Miller Honda in Culver city by coquettern Jan 03, 2003 (9:03 pm)
I want to warn honda buyers AWAY from Miller Honda in Culver City. Their entire sales tactics are distasteful. They will low ball you on your trade (give poor trade value to a car in excellent condition with low miles despite KBB values in writing), refuse to negotiate from MSRP and tell you that they NEED to run a credit report on you even though you have your own financing and a BLANK check waiting to be filled out. Do not fall for it. The sales manager ,Ariel I believe, is smug, rude and insulting. The Closer will chase you to your car(however, he didn't like my conversation) and offer you inflated promises. Please be smart, and avoid this dealership. Also be aware that dealerships make 1% of your purchase price if THEY finance you. There are a number of scams each dealerships tries to get past the consumer. It pays to do your homework and stand firm when they try to charge you fee's that are optional(aka vin etching, credit reports, dealerprep fee's) Get internet quotes. Much luck to all.
#1455 of 24573 2003 EX-L V6 Sedan with Navigation experience by treoster Jan 03, 2003 (10:56 pm)
I've owned my 2003 Accord EX-L V6 Sedan with Navigation for a month now. I have to say, it's really a great car, and a very good deal for the money. (As a previous Maxima owner, and Camry user, I looked at them all and the Accord won out).   I paid 5.4% over invoice, slightly higher than I would have liked, but still well below MSRP and the dealer mark-up. (So those of you out that don't get a super-duper deal like other people post, fret not.) Bought in the SF Bay Area, CA   A couple reasons I think I paid what I did: - Price was within budget - Wanted to get car immediately that day (had done two weeks of pre-work). i wanted to spend as little time as possible going to dealers. - The fully loaded Accord (EX-L V6) is scarce (or was when I bought it) - Got the best color/interior out there (IMHO), Graphite Pearl. -Cars in CA tend to cost a bit more, even higher in the San Francisco Bay Area - Dealer/service was a consideration   However, there were these benefits: - Process took only a couple hours from start to finish, which was nice. - Received $2600 more on my trade-in than I would have received on the open market. - A few extra options throw in.   So overall, I am quite happy, even it wasn't below invoice, etc. I feel like I got a bargain compared to what is charged for other vehicles.   Options added that I consider useful:   - Door edge and wheel well guards - Trunk liner (one spill and it pays for itself) - Mud flaps - 7 yr./100K HondaCare extended warranty (you can transfer when you sell it, which boost resale value enormously) - Exhaust pipe accents (pure vanity item)   All just had the windows tinted as well. (not at dealer, but separate shop thatI've used before) Looks very, very sharp. Garners lots of comments. Also the voice activated controls and Navigation are awesome.   So far, I am very pleased. Now that break-in is done, I can open it up once in a while, and it moves like the wind. So fast that it scares some passengers...   Anyway, that's my .02, and I hope you find it useful.
