Agree w/ u. So the dealers here (Boise) are looking to sell for or near MSRP. Any trustworthy internet dealers that I could fly to and get one near the invoice price (i think that is about $27,400)? I think I would come out money ahead.Also is the Nav system the only real difference between the EX-L V6 and w/ Nav as the name would suggest & if so is it really worth 2K?
 
Thanks

Navi option also comes with bluetooth.
 
Parviz bought a EX-L V6 Navi from Grace Honda in the SF Bay Area for a hair under 28,000 + TTL.

I see where smartguy5 posted that dealers get 3.5 kickback, if that is the case on a list of $27,400 they would get ~$959 back. So selling at invoice is a reasonable profit, if not a little high. Hopefully I can hold out ("I don't have to have") a new car right now.
I sent Grace a request for a quote.... see what I get back tomorrow. I put down my offer was 27K OTD If any one else has knowledge on the kickback let me know, it seems like that would be a good item to put on the table if pricing becomes a sticking point.

Not to be mean or whatsoever... How can we know if he's telling the truth? 3.5% holdback, 2% holdback, 3 % holdback. We as the consumers are not informed abt this kind of stuffs. A unknown person came here and just told everyone that holdback is 3.5% and people just readily accepted the fact and start to the spread the rumor and etc. Please understand that even salesman have a family to be fed, and I am not saying that we should give them the big grosses, but be more understanding and stop spreading rumor, unless its backed up by data.
 
Carbuyingtips.com stated that its 2% (a fellow forum member isellhonda clarified that too). An edmunds data that was quite old(updated on Sept 2005/2006) showed 3.0%. I don;t even know where the in the name of XXXX that dreamcar got his holdback data from. Unless he could show me an official receipt, I'm really suspicious of his intentions. Also, dreamcar, if you really like buying AT REAL INVOICE, not edmunds invoice, WHY DON'T YOU OPEN UP A HONDA STORE AND SELL ME 3 CRVS that I am looking to purchase?

You will not get the EX-L V6 with Navi for 27K OTD however you can get it without navi for that price OTD.
How can a customer determine how much profit is too much for a dealer?... Only the dealer will determine that and the price of the car is what it is.

You may get 27,000 + TTL, but not 27,000 including all taxes and fees. Unless of course, the dealer just sells you the vehicle and lets you pay the sales tax when you register back in your home state? Was that what you were thinking of?
 
BTW...if Grace doesn't have your vehicle in stock, forward the quote to Stevens Creek. They are a much larger dealer I think and they will match the price.

A salesman told me he would try to get me a Japanese Accord which is a better quality than the American (or where ever) assembled Accord. Uh....has anybody heard this before. And where is the Accord made. My Ridgeline was made in Canada.
  
Thanks

 
I don't know if they're better but I must admit I made an effort to get a Japan made Accord. The sticker says the engine and transmission are from Japan but It also says 60% of the part are from US & Canada.

Hi everybody,
 
Quick question
I am 17 and I'm working to buy my first car, i currently have 4 grand saved up from my job and my parents will be covering the majority of the monthly payments afterward.
I want a EX-L V6 2008 Accord Coupe and I'm looking to purchase the car in March, my issue currently is, if i go on the lot at a local dealer here in CA, should i look to be kicked off for looking so incompetent at this age?
I really want to get a good feel of the car right now and want to make sure I won't be completely looked down upon due to my status.
 
Also, roughly, how much more is insurance on a Coupe compared to the Sedan?

The way I'd handle it w/Crown if they aren't willing to give you a price, is to reply to their email offering them an OTD price. If they reply back they're willing to accept and have the vehicle, you go there and close the deal...or walk, if they reneg on your offer acceptance. It certainly won't take you much time to figure out whether they're going to do the deal or not.
 
Leith has been non-competitive for me over the years, but I did hear of a reasonable deal from them via another poster about 3 months ago.....so they may be really trying to move some iron.
