Replying to: hhun (Jun 06, 2008 9:10 am) I just said it is just far easier to avoid dealers who add "dealer installed accessories" to every vehicle prior to offering them for sale. No matter how you try to negotiate the price of these add ons, it is not likely to ever be as good as $0 - the cost if you just purchase from a dealer with no add ons. If I don't want a wind deflector or mud flaps why should I pay anything for them? I agree with your suggestion to negotiate the price on these items if they are already on the car, but if you don't want them you are still going to pay something for them for them in the end. It is a lot better to pay nothing for them by taking your business to a better dealer. You offer up dumb "advice" and then take offense if someone does not agree with you. Dennis

Honda's 800 # customer service told me that about the addtional 1.5%. Maybe some dealers get it and others don't? I don't know. Maybe the balance transfer is really a reimbursement to the dealer for advertising cost and dealer prep fees (another charge you can refuse to pay since it's reimbursed)? I just don't know...all I know is what Honda said. So to be fair to those sellers who said the don't know what balance transfer is...I would just disregard the 1.5% and just keep in mind the 2% holdback. The EXL model you are talking about...exactly which one is it? I think you said it was an AT? Does it have nav? It was a 4 door, 4 cyl? Or a V6? Those make a difference in price.

Replying to: dwynne (Jun 06, 2008 9:25 am) Chill out. I don't take offense if someone disagrees with me. I could care less. My "dumb" advice isn't dumb at all...I found it all over the internet when I did my research. Anyone else on here can find the same information if they google it. I also got some info from a guy who owns a high end used car dealership who has been in the business for decades and is a friend of the family. So don't criticize me for just saying what I have read elsewhere. It's not my advice, but advice of experts in the field...or so called experts. I suggest you redirect your attitude toward them for writing the articles. |

Replying to: hhun (Jun 06, 2008 9:28 am) In post 20695, lance_mcb states: "Accord EX-L 4cyl Sedan Automatic the price is $22,750.00 plus fees which comes out to be $25,116.10 "out the door". No hidden fees or surprises when you come in." So it answers all of your questions except navi. I would assume that this price is without navi. No way would it be with navi. |

Replying to: twotonetommy (Jun 06, 2008 9:52 am) Looking up the Invoice with destination=$23,428...subtract out the destination chrg of $635 = $22,793 is invoice without destination....you were offered $22,750....about $40 below invoice. Not bad at all. Could you go lower? Who knows...depends on the dealer. But it seems like a good deal. Holdback is 2% off MSRP...about $470 which you would subtract from invoice without destination. Although this isn't representative of what the dealer paid. It's hard to really know what the dealer paid for the car because that varies from dealer to dealer and takes into account different factors like the volume of cars that dealer sells, etc..but you can at least have a very rough ballpark idea. Actual dealer cost is always an unknown figure. Let them have their holdback. I am sure they are still making a little more on the car than $40. But that's ok they are entitled to some profit (although I have been accused of not allowing dealers any profit for some reason on this forum). I'd say it's a good price. Anything around invoice is a good deal, and anything below is even better. Are you happy with the price? Maybe someone else on here has purchased or was offered something different on the same model and trim and can let you know what they paid. I am looking at the same car, but in the 5 speed manual, so the prices are a little different. Try emailing a few dealers in your area too. You might get a quote that's lower, you never know. I was emailing a honda dealer in Fairfax to inquire on his stock availability and he sent me an email with the info I requested and a quote that I didn't ask for...$900 below invoice without destination....I was shocked. Unfortunately they don't have the color or colors I am looking for. If you aren't in a hurry and have the time, take some time and email a few places. Best time to buy is end of the month if you can...sometimes you can get a little better price...not always. Good luck to you!!

Hi guys, I got a quote for $24,000 before tax for a 2 door Auto EX-L w/o navigation. According to Edmunds invoice, it's $24,156. Does anyone know is this an OK deal since I'm looking to sign the paperworks this Sat? Much appreciated for any inputs. |
