Replying to: bran9192 (Apr 24, 2008 9:00 am) I had used the INTERNET for locate the best price. Then in Feb I received an E-Mail from that dealer (I guess all their E-Mail inquiries were on their data base) that they were taking $500 off of all previous INTERNET prices if you bought a car from what they had in stock. So it is my thinking that car sales are worse now then they were a few months ago because of the price of gasoline. So you should be looking for a price at about $1500 below dealer invoice. For sure don't pay over dealer invoice. |

Replying to: mplshondadlr (Apr 24, 2008 1:55 pm) Do you know if AHFC will be running any incentives or providing better lease rates during the month of May? I'm not sure if you have this sort of information (or are able to divulge it), but I've been shopping Accord Coupes and have been waiting for their lease rates to improve. Currently, they don't seem to be that aggressive in comparison with some of their competitors' rates. Thanks, Jordan

I've been looking to rid myself of my 2007 Dodge Nitro, I want something with power, but saves on GAS! The prices here are hovering around $3.99 a gal in some parts for 87! I asked them about the EX-L V6, (which they quoted an MSRP of $28,060.00, and their price (I'm guessing before taxes and fee's) $26,415.97 ( and MSRP of $25,860.00 and their price of $24,177.98 for the EX-L 4-CYL AUTO. So I sent off a request to a dealership and it went like this: Me: I'm looking to get at 2% below invoice and i want dealer hold back which I know for a fact is at $2500.00! Reply: Hi Will - Anything below invoice is an extremely tall order on Accords, especially high-end ones like the one you are requesting. I know it's not possible on the V6 models, but we may be able to come to a deal on the 4-cyls. As far as the hold backs are concerned, they are about 2%-3% of the MSRP of the vehicles. So I'm not sure where you are getting your facts, because $2500 is nowhere close to what the hold back actually is. On top of that, hold backs are designed to keep dealerships afloat specifically because of customer who want to buy cars at or below invoice. Customers are not entitled to holdback money. So, I come here and want to know what some of you shrewd negotiators think of this. BTW, the dealership is Potamkin Honda in NYC. Thanks in advance!

I have been lurking on this board for 3 months and am finally ready to buy. I followed the advise on this board and sent out my requirements to 10 dealer in the area. I only got serious responses from 5. And it turns out that there are only two cars in my color in the 5 state area and they are still on the truck until early next week. The best internet price was $25,976 including dest. This is $300 below invoice. The rest of the deal is: $25,976, taxes $1,688, doc fee $50, Gov fees $407 Total OTD is $28,121 Then I started negotiating via email and phone between the two dealerships and the latest OTD price is $27,950. I plan to pull the trigger tomorrow. I will post here the final deal.
