E-mail the dealer back and make sure the prices they quoted you include DESTINATION and are not just for the car itself. Also ask how much their "doc" or "prep" fees are, if any. Some dealers have been known to quote the price and leave off the $635 destination fee. Then you go to buy they add it back in and your deal is not as sweet as you thought. Ditto the dealer fees - some charge as high as $500 now - so always get price quote that includes the car, destination, and any dealer fees. The rest of the stuff - taxes, tags, etc will be the same from any local dealer.
 
The 08 Accord is new and selling well and there are no current discount finance rates that I have heard about. What I would do is get pre-approved through your bank or credit union or someplace like CapitalOne before you go to the dealership. Then challenge the dealer to beat your financing rate, if they can then you go with them, if they can't you use your pre-approved loan. Never walk in without a pre-approved loan, otherwise you can't know if the dealer is giving you the buy rate or is marking it up.

I got my loan through the Pentagon Federal Credit Union. New car loan 4.99% for 60 months. Probably the lowest you will get. Anyone can join for $20. Whole application done online and received check in three days.

I got 5.40% 36mo. from AHFC last month in Ilinois.
It all depends on your credit score tough.

I have a black on black 08 coupe. It sure does show dirt and scratches, but it looks beautiful when it's clean. I was thinking about getting a polished metal or silver, but when I saw a black, I was sold.
Now it's too late, I just have to keep it clean.

I agree, nothing much looks better than a clean, polished, dent free black car.
 
My first car (way back in ancient times ) was white and no matter how much I waxed it I could never get the shine like my friend had on his baby blue Cutlass. I have tried to not own a white car since then....

OTD prices don't mean squat, the OTD price each of us pays is completely different .
 
We have 7% state sales tax here, other states have 5%, some 3%. If I post my OTD price you learn nothing if you live in a 3% tax state, ditto if you live in a 5% state. The only way my OTD price helps anyone at all is if they live in the same state as me.
 
Posting the price paid for the car including destination and any dealer fee is the only way to properly post prices. All of us here should then be able to add our own taxes to the price and determine our own local OTD prices.

Bought: EX-L Nav 4cyl 5manual by honda_liker

Just purchased a Polished Metal sedan for invoice +$1,000 in Seattle. Could have probably gotten another couple of hundred more off the price, but the dealer went above and beyond to find me the exact car that I requested. Manual in the EX-L Nav are hard to locate. Dealer swap came from 150 miles away and they pulled it off in just a couple of days. If you are on the fence about the nav, it's very impressive. The 4 cyl makes full use of the power when paired with the manual. Highly recommend the team I worked with if you want the contact info.
