Hey gja, who got the better deal? Oscar from
Portland, Oregon who paid $24,495 OTD for a 08 Accord EX I4 AT sedan or Nancy from Eugene, Oregon who paid $25,495 OTD for the same model.?? Since Oregon is a no auto sales tax state even you should be able to figure this one out.

 
So I guess you do get the point that OTD prices are meaningless without knowing the LOCATION and the dealer fees, dmv fees and sales taxes associated with that LOCATION!

Got a quote today of $20,900 plus tax out the door. Includes all fees, destination charges, docs etc. I don't live in MS so I wouldn't pay tax on the car at the dealership. Only when I register the car in my home state where the tax rate is 3% of new autos. With that figured in total cost is $21527
 
Invoice on the car is $19813.00

Please read AND comprehend my previous posts concerning OTD prices (18505 being one of them).... OTD is not "meaningless" because we ALL pay an OTD price.

Just ignore these posts now.
At this point, it looks really passive aggressive to keep refusing to itemize the prices after being asked repeatedly by multiple people.

I would assume that the majority of car buyers purchase their cars within 100 miles of their home address. If this is the case, then comparing what the dealer offered in relation to invoice price (+ or -) or MSRP (+ or -) is the only fair way to compare what is the best price someone is paying for the car. The comparisons of the invoice prices and the MSRP prices must be with the same model car, the same options and the same accessories. Sales taxes, license fees, registration fees differ from state to state. Pennsylvania has a sales tax of 6% and our neighboring state Delaware has a sales tax of 0% for residents of Delaware. As a resident of Pennsylvania I would still be required to pay the 6% sales tax to Pennsylvania should I buy the car in Delaware. When you include sales taxes, registration fees and license fees and quote only the OTD price that you paid I can't use your OTD price to negotiate a price in my home area.

Some people want to purchase cars not taking into consideration taxes etc...
 
Some people are concerend about what other people pay for their cars.
 
Some people compare monthly payments.
 
We are all in agreement however their are differnt ways we percieve it.
 
Whatever happens EVERYONE pays an OTD price.

otd nonsense by japs

no one cares about using the term otd. All buyers care about is the msrp including destination, and the invoice including destination. Thats it!. Just report the price paid for the car without all the other bull you all like to report.(tax,doc fees,dmv)
 
EXAMPLE: 08 Accord Coupe Ex Auto
MSRP including dest...24,595
INVOICE including dest...22,366
 
If you paid 22, 566...then you got the car for 200 over invoice.
 
All the OTD crap is just that...nothing else matters other than that actual price paid for the car itself.....geeze

Perhaps our helpful Host could post a policy on this "OTD" issue. It probably needs a colored warning at the top of the "Post a Message" page clearly indicating the forum's policy. IMHO, tax, title and license are not relevant since they can't be negotiated and since they vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. While it doesn't hurt to have an OTD price, I think it is beyond dispute that some readers on this forum will misinterpret an OTD price (particularly if, for some strange reason, they aren't interested in reading pages and pages of thread arguing the topic.)

"Whatever happens EVERYONE pays an OTD price."
 
That's like saying "Everyone dies eventually." As the Hyundai ads say nowadays.. "DUH!"
 
That still does not make the concept of "OTD" any more useful without knowing ALL of the component figures. Without them the catchphrase "OTD" will forever be meaningless.
