Purchased an 2008 Accord sedan EX-L 4cyl with a manual transmission, in royal blue pearl, in central NC. Details are as follows: MSRP: $25,695 (incl. destination) Price: $22955 (incl. destination) Doc fee: $398 Title: $74 Tax: $688 (3% in NC) Total OTD: $24115 Bought at Auto Park Honda in Cary. A very good experience overall. Deal worked out on email, no surprises at the dealership. |

Replying to: cccompson (May 29, 2008 5:54 pm) FYI...Doc fees are not mandatory fees in most states. Check it out online. They try to make you think they are mandatory, but they are not. In my state, MD, you have the right by law (yes there is a bill written and passed about it) to refuse to pay it. It's listed on the invoice as "not required by law" next to the processing fee price. Think about it....when you go to buy other big purchases like appliances or electronics for example, does the store charge any processing/document fees to punch some numbers into a computer and print it out...no...it's pure profit for the dealer. It's yet another way for them to make money off your deal. And often that processing fee is taxable too. From what I read online, most fees they charge are bogus...just profit. Finance fee/Floorplan fee for getting financing through the dealer? Does your bank or credit union charge this when you get a loan from them? No. Prep fees? Advertising fees?. Did you know that the manufacturer reimburses the dealer for these costs after the car is sold...yet they try to double dip and charge the fees to you. Also, know your credit score before buying a car...some dealers will try to tell you your credit score wasn't high enough to qualify for a certain rate, and they will actually tack on an additional 2-3 percent more than you were actually approved for. I don't know if Honda tries to do this, but it has happened. Just be an informed consumer and try not to get ripped off on fees!! |

Hey, Does anyone know for certain what the current holdback percentage is for Honda? I am finding 3% online including at Edmunds.com, but the dealer is telling me that Honda changed it to 2%....I think he is just full of $%*! and trying to get extra profit off my deal. I cannot find anywhere online where they have "updated" that percentage from 3 to 2%. Thanks. Prompt reply would be appreciated.

Replying to: hhun (Jun 01, 2008 11:01 pm) It changed from 3% to 2% about a year ago. It isn't profit anyway so this really shouldn't matter. |
