You could have gotten that deal OTD about 1 1/2 months ago in MD (using VA tax of 5% - not sure what ID's tax rate is). I saw that very car on the lot. In this area (DC) prices seem to be coming down so if you wanted to travel and really break in your new car you could look at Laurel Honda in Md. Not sure what their inventory is right now though.

Assuming a sales tax of approx. 6% and fairly normal registration fees, it looks like a good deal. Could it be better? Hard to tell without knowing your tax rate, title and registration fees, and dealer document fees. My guess is this is a pretty good deal.

I just went to their website and it is for all the the manuals in stock. In the fine print, it says price does not include tax, doc, title. So, it may already include the destination fee. It is a good deal if you want a manual LX.

It may include destination, but it may not. The doc fee could be just about anything and many dealers will ask hundreds for doc fee alone. Add those things together and that could easily ad well over $1000 more to their listed price. So, until you know this, you really don't know if it's a good deal or not.

EX-L 5spd Coupe
by hondahawk

I have been quoted invoice 22,795 + dest + 150.00 advertising fee for a new coupe EX-L 5spd. The dealer however has to order the car, but said that they will still honor the quote.
First of all, is this a decent price at this time?
Second, does anyone have any experience with ordering a new Accord directly from the manufacturer? What are the issues I need to be aware of with the trade and the deal itself?
Any constructive input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like a good deal. That is the invoice price, and destination and the advertising fee are both paid by the dealer to Honda - they've got no choice, it's not discretionary, so they're just passing along their true cost. I haven't seen that many '08 sedans going out at invoice yet, and definitely not coupes. In essence, they're willing to get paid for your car from the holdback, plus any other incentive fees (units sold, etc.) that this sale helps qualify them for with Honda. They're probably willing to do this since they're not going to pay any flooring cost to keep the car in inventory, and if you back out of the deal a coupe wouldn't be that hard to move.
It's particularly attractive since coupes are fairly rare, so it's unlikely you would have found exactly what you were looking for, whereas now they'll let you choose your color, etc. Which dealer is offering you this deal? How long are they saying it will take for delivery? How much of a deposit are they asking for, and is any of it non-refundable?

Yeah not bad!!! I used the internet to gather some prices from competing dealers along with Consumer Reports. The internet prices really helped because I could show the salesperson a piece of paper with the price right there. The internet also saved me from running around to all of those dealers to get prices. I ended up going to only 2 dealerships to negotiate.
