I went back to my original post and saw that I actually put "SE" instead of "VP" in my post. I can't believe I made that mistake and I really appologize for all the confusion this caused.

Reasonable Profit on Accord LX Auto by prsii
May 24, 2007 (10:29 am)

Great forum!
Anyone have thoughts on what a reasonable dealer profit should be?
%Profit = (car price* - dealer cost)/dealer cost
 
*car price does not include taxes, title, registration
 
So what's a reasonable % profit? 1%, 2%, 5%, something else?

Accord SE V6 Median Price by kiln
May 24, 2007 (10:32 am)

After looking at older posts, the median price for an SE V6 seems to be $20300. Is this a reasonable price to offer a dealer? Too low or Too high....
 
$20300 + tax would come to approx. $400.00 a month at 60 months 4.9%
 
The prices were based on what people claimed to pay. I have no idea if these included doc or destination fees.

Here in the last days of the current generation Accord the concept of "reasonable profit" goes out the window. Dealers are selling cars for well below invoice, and the only way to assure you get a competitive price is to go thru posts on this forum and the leasing forum and see what prices/quotes others are reporting. Then get some email quotes from several dealers in your area to see how your local market stacks up.

The problem I have with "a reasonable profit", is that it is built on dealerships "unreasonable (IMO) costs". Why dealers spend the millions of dollars on top of the line car showcases, is beyond me. Anybody buying a vehicle there is ultimately paying for a piece of that facility, as all of that fixed costs is allocated back as a cost allocation against each car.

I'm looking for a i4 to buy within the next few days, so i'm not sure if this will help.
 
But my best offer right now for a SE i4 auto is $18600 (Bay Area, CA), which is invoice including destination
 
This is well below invoice of $20,200 w/ destination, and I'm probably going to just jump on this offer without trying to haggle much down, b/c it was the best price from an internet sales person.
 
Is there anything I can say to get this lower, or get any extras (floor mats, etc.?). And this other dude called me today saying he'd beat that price and he's been the only one pushing for me to buy (by tomorrow or weekend hopefully). I'm just curious, what's in it for him? He seems like a shaky, not shady, sales guy who's young and new to this, not confident at all. So, I'm not too sure.
 
Just any comments on this would be appreciated.
 
Also, when paying 'cash' how do people actually pay for it?

I just purchased a Honda Accord LX 4 cyl AT in Olathe, KS (suburb of Kansas City) for $18,779 out the door ($18,550 + $229 doc fee). Did I get taken?

just paid 18750 + TTL for the SE you mention (including mud guards, door guards, and wheel locks) on the EAST coast. I also bought a VP in the Bay Area for 16300 + TTL (including options), which is about 1K lower than the East Coast.
 
I would aim for 18.1-18.2K for this car in the Bay Area, + TTL.

assuming you don't have Tax there...this is an ok price, for just the car. B/c you don't mention Tax, you made out really well compared to those who have to pay tax.
 
You could've done better (about 18.1 on East Coast and 17.3 on West Coast + TTL...it will be higher in the middle states)...but as long as you're happy with the car, you're good to go...enjoy.
