Speaking of holdback, I certainly will not attest to the validity of whatever numbers are thrown about... But one sales guy I spoke to calculated holdback as 3% of the $30,895 MSRP, which was $926.85. Based on that number, he said that my lowest quote of $27,300 (including dest+proc fees) would result in a profit of about $300, and STILL didn't want to sell me the car based on that! He wanted to charge me dealer invoice, which according to him would give the dealership a profit of closer to $1000.
 
In other related matters, he also said he wouldn't budge from this number because he knew he was the only dealership in the state that had the color I wanted, so needless to say I did not go with him. On top of that, he refused to give me the VIN and mileage on the car when requested, and I found out later from another dealer that the specific car had a damage disclosure on it. So with that said, I would also recommend not dealing with anyone at Heritage Honda in Parkville, MD with the initials GH.

Need Buying Advice by pmomtv

Looking to purchase a 4 cyl, auto, EX-L this weekend. If anybody has purchased a new Accord in the Pittsburgh, PA, area, I need advice as to which dealership provided you with the best deal. Also, was that dealer willing to offer invoice or below?
 
Thanks.

Nope, holdback hasn't been 3% for some time.
 
IF they really sold you that car for that price, they lost money.
 
And, they lost money on a model that is difficult to find.
 
That's all from me. The others can draw their own conclusions.

Price on Accord LX, Automatic by furrycute

Hi guys. I am in the NYC area. I am looking to buy a 2008 Accord, automatic, LX, with minimal accessories. I got a quote of just over $20,000 including destination. Does not include titles, taxes, etc. Do you guys think this is a good price? Can I hope for something better?
 
This is the price I got from a dealer's internet sales department. How much haggling can I do with this price once I go into the dealership in person? I am not looking to finance, no trade ins.
 
Thank you guys for any help you can give me.

I got my 08 Accord LX-P automatic for $21,400 OTD. There were no trades involved. Here is the breakdown of the price:
 
Price: $19,618.55 ----> $1,100 below invoice (both includes destination)
Doc Fee: $55.00
Sales Tax: $1,524.70
License Fee: $128
Registration Fee: $65
CA Tire Fees: $8.75
 
Total (OTD): $21,400
 
The dealer wanted to sell as many cars as possible before month ends. I went to the dealer and walked around looking for the car I wanted. After looking at a couple of LX-P model, I got the one I wanted.

Isellhonda,
 
Please go to room "VCM" to read comments of an unhappy Honda customer (his name's Golf...) who claimed Honda is going to close his complaint of the VCM issue of the '08 Accord V6 sedan without his permission. I am not sure if he owns a '08 Accord V6 sedan as he has boasted and if he's been honest with his complaint.

Baierl Honda in Wexford, ask for Ken Dash - no invoice pricing tho, but a good and fair dealership.

I don't understand - are you interested in a beautiful car or a car for a beautiful girl??!!
 
My daughter grouses that the Beetle I drive is more appropriate for teenage girls, but this 51 year old guy loves it. It has more headroom than anything else we've ever owned, great ride, great mileage (it's a TDI). If you're more interested in a Honda girly car, I suppose the Civic and CR-V are your best bet - maybe even an older Accord. But this new Accord, wow is this ever a manly car!!!
