Replying to: daggerpoint (Jan 19, 2008 10:49 am) What are you paying for the car? Rule #1 of getting a good lease deal is to negotiate the price of the car just like you are going to buy it. You want to be somewhere close to invoice including dealer fee, but I am told the leather models are in short supply so you will likely have to pay more. Once you have the price negotiated nice and low, then you simply plug that into a lease calculator along with the lease buy rate and you get your payment. Dennis |

Replying to: sunnfun (Jan 12, 2008 4:41 pm) The dealer was offering $26941 with Nav OTD but it turns out it was cloth interior and not Leather which was a no go for me. He also offered an EXL V6 4DR W/O Nav for the same price - OTD. This is what I was looking for the whole time. (As a side not, he quoted me an OTD price on the EXL V6 WITH Nav - $28138, before accessories) (VA tax is 4%) Dealer B was offering the same car but at 27689 OTD. (4Dr EXL V6 and no Nav) So I decided to go with Dealer A - 2008 EXL V6 4DR W/O Nav. After adding splash guards, wheel locks, sun roof visor, pin stripes, and door and fender guards, I had $27500 OTD. I went with Metal Metallic and grey leather. Since I know some here are interested in the actual car price, it was $25331 or $25966 including DEST ($635). If you want the 2 dealers and contact names, email me and I can provide them. Based on my experience, the car price was pretty much non-neg. They moved a little on the accessory prices but I suspect that is where they are making their money so not as much movement as I had hoped. All in all, it was a good experience and I drove it home this afternoon.

Replying to: joph (Jan 19, 2008 4:58 pm) Just purchased a EX V6 from Larry Hopkins Honda in Sunnyvale,CA, $23,620 +TTL Best Experience I've had in purchasing a car. Contact Habib,Internet Manager, the car was in stock,3 miles on the odometer + 2.8 miles for tech checkout drive. No Hassles. Price via emails = $25,855 OTD, No Extras thrown in! No financing. Honda of Serramonte could beat this price by $100 and Grace Honda could match it, but they did not have the car in stock and would have to Dealer trade for one. I did not want any extra miles on it. Thanks to everyone whose comments help me get a Good Deal !!! |

Hi, I'm in my early twenties and buying my first car. I want to make sure I'm getting a good deal. My best friend happens to be moving to Asia and he wants to sell me his car (I drive a 1993 clunker minivan), he said he would give me a good price. I would be paying his price in full cash. Can you please tell me if this is a good deal in my favor? Or is this sale more in his favor? Perhaps should I try to negociate a different price, and if so, what price should I try for and what should I settle for? I've spent the last few days doing a lot of research and compared to all the online listings I've found his price was great...but I would imagine those prices can be negociated, so perhaps I'm not getting a great deal after all. I could not bring myself to spend so much money at this age unless I knew I was getting a great deal. Please help, any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks! The Car specs: 2005 Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe, 5 speed Automatic, with navigation and XM sat radio. Full leather seats, driver power seats, power sunroof with tilt, premium sound, 6 in dash multi CD & mp3 player, power mirrors + locks + steering + windows, keyless remote entry, and all the standard other features you'd expect with a car that is loaded like this (not sure which airbags come standard and such). The interior had that metal trim kit I believe it's called, was all black otherwise. Looked sweet!  No rear spoiler, mud flaps or anything special on the exterior. I noticed it said "Ultra Low Emission Vehicle" when I saw it, and a small ULEV logo on the exterior of the car on the side, not sure if this is a feature or not but I figured I would note it. Condition seemed good. The car bumper was cracked on the front, like it got hit by something, like a hockey puck, he is fully replacing it with a brand new original one from the dealership before selling me the vehicle if I buy it. Also the rims on the wheels were scratched a bit, probably from sloppy parallel parking or getting too close to the curb a few times, I bet he's not the best driver. He said the dealership would polish the scratchs up. The dealership will also be cleaning it up before the sale. Mileage: 26000 miles His special cash price for me, his best friend, is $18,000. Is this a good deal or a rip off?  Should I be negociating a lower price? I would be paying him in cash... I'm not sure if the location has anything to do with car prices as well, but I live in Southern California. Thanks all for your time! |

Replying to: cooltown (Jan 20, 2008 12:05 am) Kelly Blue book price for that car  26K miles in excellent condition is $22,755. In real life, price is usually a little bit lower, sometimes a few thousand lower. Kelly Blue Book is only a guide. My '95 Accord 4-dr EX I4 200K miles in excellent condition was priced by Kelly Book $5000+ But I sold it only $2,500.

Replying to: cooltown (Jan 20, 2008 12:05 am) Frankly, I wouldn't give a "dime" for the navi as you can buy a portable one for less than $400 that is probably far better than anything in a "05 car. If your friend is off to Asia in the very near future he's sort of in a bind to sell... the car obviously is not in mint condition. And it won't be easy for him to find another buyer coming up with all cash. Was it garaged? You might want to check Carfax to determine if its been in an accident...considering the damage to the front bumper. Offer $15,000 with a max of $16,000....that's all a dealer would offer. But, to be perfectly safe, have a trusted mechanic look it over first. .

Replying to: cooltown (Jan 20, 2008 12:05 am) Be sure to have a mechanic or an adult who is much knowledgeable about cars and knows how to check the car thoroughly inside out before you make an offer. $15K - $16K offer is best. Check engine oil, tranny oil, brake oil, coolant, chassis, body, DMV or Carfax's accident records, test drive it at different speeds & on different road conditions, etc. Tricky guy can overflow oil in car with higher vicosity, etc. that makes engine sounds smoother with less noises...while test driving it, etc, Honda Navi is excellent on market w/ voice recognition. It also controls climate, audio, calculates MPG, shows gas stations, restaurants, etc. Also, your friend prefers selling it w/ as-is condition including the navi. So many people said Honda/ Acura navigations are best on market. I dont think most $200 - $500+ portable navigations can compare with Honda navi. I have 2 navi on my '05 & '08 Accord and prefer them over the portable ones. My' 08 navi uses ZAGAT software that's one the best ones on market now. You get what you pay for. My cousin installed a navi on his C class Mercedes. He admitted his navi is inferior to Honda's navi. |
