LX-P - Color matters? by accordfever

Spent a ton of time researching and best I could do was 22.100 otd for LX-P automatic in Sacramento. Many of you have gotten better deals, but I was tired of the games dealers play. I know I could have gotten a better deal on a color other than Polished Metal, but that's the one I wanted - it's very popular! Anyhow, had a terrible experience at Carmichael Honda - they were dishonest, insulting and creepy! Elk Grove had the best service and we were out in one hour!

It sounds to me like you got the color you wanted, polished metal. Is this in fact a popular color choice? The color choice for me is worth spending extra, which I did in procuring my EX.
 
Best of luck Fever

For the dealers out there who defend that they do pay invoice for a car, lets do some math. Let's make some reasonable assumptions: - Average selling price of a vehicle in a dealership = $20k, average salary of the staff at the dealership= $40k/year or 3.33k/month. If a dealer survives only on the 3% holdback (3% of 20k = $600 a vehicle) and there are about 25 people on staff at a dealership in the sales and administrative deparment, they would have to sell about 138 vehicles/month just to break even. (Lets not even consider the other departments like service, parts and etc. and assume that they can take care of themselves)
 
 And overheads like utility bills, rent and other costs still have not been added to the equation.
No dealership will be open for business if told that they need to sell 100+ vehicles in a month just to keep the lights on. Period.

I used to think Carmicheal Honda was one of the best dealerships in Sacramento but after reading your post, I guess not. I have come to learn in the car buying experience that if a dealership gives good customer service, haggling for the lower price is not worth it and its good to just buy the car. Congratulations on the new accord and you will certainly enjoy it. Best car for the money. All around vehicle.

I am in the market for the above (cloth interior), and wanted to run a dealer quote by you all and get some feedback...
  
$22,943 (after destination) + $250 doc fee + OH tax (6.75%) + $25.50 license fee for a grand total of $24,784.02 OTD.
  
Is this a good deal or should i push them for better? How much lower do you all think i should try to go?
Perspective would be much appreciated. Thanks!
