Seems to be a shortage of V6 Accord Auto w/Navi by lucky620

I was at DCH Honda in Paramus, NJ yesterday and they had no 08 V6 Auto Coupes VCM/w-Navi on the lot or to show. Said they are expecting some to come next week sometime. Honda in Clifton, NJ had 2 08 V6 Auto Coupes w/Navi , one on the floor and one downstairs. Route 23 Honda, (Pompton Plains, NJ), had no 08 V6 Auto Coupes w/Navi. I test drove a 4dr 08 V6 Sedan w/Auto w/Navi at Rt 23 and found the car to perform well without a problem with the VCM. The salesperson said they are getting them in but slowly and most are already under contract as they come in. He said the V6 6-speed stick is easier to get and keep on the lot. He is finding that the 08 Coupe V6 w/Navi, black on black is the hardest one to get and the most demanded.
 
The lack of available V6 Accord Auto Coupes w/navi is not going to help negotiations. Anyone from the NE area have similar experiences finding a 08 V^ Auto w/Navi? What are the OTD prices?

Why NAV? by medic78

I can't understand why someone would pay an extra $2000 for nav? I mean a decent small portable GPS unit is $200. Is it really worth getting it?

lucky620 - I have heard the same thing about the shortage. Please shoot me an email and I will put you in contact with an excellent sales person at a great dealer in our area.

I just bought the 08 Accord EX-L 4 cyl with navi, and I thought initially the same thing. But you get so much more with Honda Navi, including voice control over almost every function of your car (radio, climate control, windshield defroster) as well as Bluetoogh connectivity for your wireless phone. $2K is a premium, but you just can't get an aftermarket product that does everything that the integrated Honda Navi and HandsfreeLink system can.
 
Of course, if all you want is a GPS system to find your way around, then aftermarket GPS unit is the way to go. Also, Honda Navi doesn't have live traffic information that some of the newer more expensive GPS units have.

How much you paid OTD? & which dealer? I'm also planning to buy EX-L 4 with nav.
 
Thanks

Is it ok to forward an email quote from one deal to another? by baixiaop

Hi,
  
Just a silly question. Is it ok to directly forward an email quota from one deal to another, including dealer name and saleperson' s name? Or just the quota itself without mentioning any specific names.
  
Tried to match prices between deals and was asked to bring in the written quota with the lower price.
  
Thanks!

I paid $27395 OTD (including tax, tags, license, and destination charge) for a 2008 Accord EX-L 4 cyl manual with navigation. Probably could have done a little better by about $500-800 but dealer was not willing to negotiate since it was the only EX-L 4 cyl manual with navi on the lot. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and financed through AHFC with 48 month term and 4.9% APR.

Thanks, jinsmurf, for giving your interest rate you got through AHFC. My wife and I bought both of our cars in 2004 when rates were lower, so I've been wondering what to expect (ballpark of course) these days. Some say to have your financing in hand before you go into the dealership, but I think one can do just as well dealing with a highly motivated dealer and finacier if you stick to your guns.

Experience With Getting Quotes by wgorilla
Feb 20, 2008 (2:33 pm)

my 2 cents on getting quotes from dealers through Edmunds is for anyone who has not done this yet - be ready for the assault of messages that will be on your machine when you get home each night. I chose 'e-mail anytime' for my contact option, received one e-mail with an actual quote, a bunch of junk e-mail with no quotes asking me "when can you come in?" and many phone messages saying as much, also. My better sense told me to put a fake phone number in, but I shrugged it off thinking they'd eventually get tired of it if they did call me. It's not a big deal to me, but it is dishonest, careless or both on the dealer's part. Doesn't leave me with a good impression...at all. One dealer actually called me within 10 minutes with the "come in and we'll get ya free tinting tonight" line on a very rainy Saturday. Okay, gripe switch off now. Interestingly, the one dealer (John Eagle Honda/Dallas) whom I did get a quote from is the only one who hasn't left a bunch of annoying messages on my machine. I'm thinking of trying the fax/e-mail method, but I'm cooling off to the idea of getting an Accord for the time being...hoping wife opts for Camry instead.

I researched on Edmunds and contacted two dealers and told them the lost price I found on Edmunds as my starting point. Just being prepared and willing to walk away if they try adding on extra cost. $24162 for a 26496 sticker is about the best price today for a 4 cyl ex-l with leather.
