Replying to: uscratch (Dec 12, 2007 7:01 pm) Yeah, another dealer told me the same thing. It was probably too good to be true.

Since your parents are going to cosign or buy it their names, they are going to have to go with you to the dealer anyway.   Your parents need to check the actual insurance rates by calling the insurance companies instead of just wondering and guessing how much it might be. They can check today to get a idea of rates and then check again in March to see if anything changed.   You need to read some of those "how to buy a new car" articles.

Replying to: szer (Dec 12, 2007 9:14 pm) szer, thanks for the reply... you made a point on the invoice, is there 2 different versions? Edmunds shows $27,404 what is the other one? I think the price negation with any dealer might just boil down to the number of customers that want the same car as I do... right? I just hope my local dealer will match one of the internet prices. You hear the dealers tell you that they want to be the place for all your future car purchases so it will be interesting to see how willing they are to match. I bought from my local dealer last time (2000 Accord EX) and have taken it there for service so.... will I get treated like family or not?

Replying to: szer (Dec 12, 2007 9:14 pm) You know, it may be a pipe dream, but wouldn't it be great if all prices and lease deals were standardized from dealer to dealer and the only difference was state tax?   It just seems to me that all dealer incentives and dealer manipulations of the price favor the dealer and confuse the consumer; this is especially true of lease deals. I've been shopping for a new car for 6 months and have been to almost every major brand and the same thing happens in every dealership: they work out a super high number that favors them and then chip a tiny bit away to entice me to buy. Many times it's the price that's too high for the quality and options of the car they are selling. I live in the tri state area NY so often I hear; "Look, we have a lot of wealthy customers that are hot for this car, we don't have to discount." I should write an article for the Times about my experiences, it's been really bizarre.   I'm a laid back, honest person who is pretty smart about lease calculations and comparrison shopping but I don't want to buy a car out of state or on the internet from an unknown source; it's always good to have a relationship with a good service department and a good dealer. The rub is that the entry price into that relationship is too high for what you really get in too many cases. There was once a separation of price and quality among car makers, ie: Porche, Mercedes etc... but Honda? Replies to this message: linebacker68 (Dec 13, 2007 8:59 am)

Replying to: muddyy (Dec 13, 2007 8:33 am) Buy where you can get the best deal on the car.   The service dept. at the dealer nearest you is going to be happy to do any warranty work (they get paid by the manufacturer) or service work for you regardless of where you bought the car.   Several yrs ago, I bought a new Accord a couple hundred miles away (saved $1500 over the best local deal). The service folks at the local Honda dealer treated me the same as if I had bought the car here--excellent service.   If you're thinking lease, work on the price first. Only after you hear the price you want should you say the word "lease". You should go in already knowing the residual and money factors for that particular model and lease terms.

I am interested in a V6 accord sedan. Does anyone have any idea what the selling price in South Carolina?
#18726 of 24566 How much did you pay for the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe? by gotq Dec 13, 2007 (9:16 am)
I am planning to get the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe EX (2.5, 4 cylinder, Polish Metallic Metal, cloth) with no additions and just wonder if anyone who has bought the car can share how much they did they pay? I'm living in Southern CA, will there be a big difference between states? Also, I read something about the PZEV but still feel a little bit confused. Am I legally required to get a car with PZEV? The Accord Coupe does provide this option but I don't know if I need to pay extra for it. This is first time I buy a car and really appreciate any help. Please share your opinion. Thanks!!

Replying to: cliffclaven (Dec 13, 2007 8:02 am) The edmunds invoice is what every dealer is supposed to pay Honda. But somewhere down the line, I'm pretty sure that Honda provide discounts for being a good dealerships, volume dealerships and loyalty blah blah blah (all these discounts or incentives) are only known to the business owner. Not even the salesmen know much about them. Using the edmunds invoice is good start. I really think that we, the consumers, are in control of these prices. Buying at invoice is no longer a dream, but a reality. My salesman admitted that for every invoice sale, he earned a mini (50-125) dollars. Therefore, I don't really like dreamcar's attitude towards salesmen. They work 60 hours a week to make a living. We should treat them with respect and not like bad guys. I believe that a good salesman should be rewarded with a sale that benefits both parties. Replies to this message: muddyy (Dec 13, 2007 3:49 pm)

Replying to: sodaguy (Dec 12, 2007 9:47 pm) Most dealers claim they'll match prices to get you there. Steven Creeks quote to me was much higher and when I mentioned the lower quote I had from Grace they said they could not match it, much less beat it. Dealers can always locate the car you want, it may take a little time.

Replying to: gotq (Dec 13, 2007 9:16 am) PZEV and ULEV stand for partially zero or ultra low emmission vehicle. Most, if not all, Accords are made with either one of those designations and there is no extra cost on it. The label is on the window of the vehicle. Good luck.
