Some tips if you are loooking for an Accord in the metroplex: selection is getting slimmer and nearly every car on the lots has dealer accessories that add $1000-$1500 to the sticker price. side note: although I did not stick around to see if this was applicable to the Accord, the worst culprit [IMO] of dealer installed accessories has been Vandergriff Honda. I saw three vehicles (suv's) that were loaded with lo-jack, tire warranty, "digi" something....it was outrageous. ========================================================== Be prepared for the encounter in the F&I office. If you are not given an OTD upfront, determine it beforehand. If you are in Texas, you can use the following formula to get a rough estimate: Use (6.25% Sales Tax * selling price) + (127.05 DMV Fees) + (50.00 Documentation) + (.002543 x Car Price = Texas Inventory Tax). All of those added to car price = Drive-Out. Use this OTD figure and plug it into an online auto loan calculator to determine your monthly payments. ========================================================= I just had an unpleasant experience with an F&I person. I knew what my payments would be (Economics major/Accounting minor) yet this individual kept coming up with figures that deviated significantly from my calculations. I understand the person has a job to perform but the manner in which this person conducted themselves was unprofessional and unethical. What should have been a pleasant experience turned out to be anything but.

Just purchased the vehicle from southern California for $21,300 OTD. This is with 8.25% tax. Actual price of car was around $19.5k I believe.

I had read the post about the triple net pricing so I took invoice - rebates - holdback + tax and told him $25,400 OTD. They accepted and we went and picked it up. I've been very happy so far. Good luck to all potential buyers.

Replying to: andysd (Jul 04, 2007 10:28 pm) We should probably do that since the guys in the shop just hate installing steering wheel covers. Of course, we sell so few of them it's not a big deal. In 12 years, I think I may have sold three of them?

For like $80 you can spend the next 5-8 years holding on to something nice and comfortable vs a hard vinyl plasticy thing. If you did the wheel and the shift knob, it would make everything you have to touch every time you get in the car feel so much better.
