Replying to: halecp (Jul 14, 2008 8:42 am) $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!

Replying to: carb (Jul 15, 2008 5:51 am) No one said dealers are not making money -- it's just where the profit centers are. Right now, new cars is not a large profit center. So nice try on the math. Again, in todays information age, why has not a single person discovered this so-called secret money you assue is out there? Why does Edmunds, Kelly Blue Book, NADA or countless other consumer oriented sites not publised this information? Please explain.

Replying to: mplshondadlr (Jul 15, 2008 8:26 am) Because this is a big mess that no one knows the exact number. I think each dealer gets diff. discount, bonus...etc. This is like the cell phone companies. We don't really know the way they run their businesses. You can get a better deal on cell phone from a third party than get it directly from the company. Do you think that those third party dealers are losing money each month? Why some car dealers like to sell cars at rock bottom price than other dealer? Because they don't want to make money? In gas stations business, even though those stations can barely make money from selling gas directly, they get bonuses at the end of each month from the gas company. I heard some busy stations get 5K/month bonus. I know this because my sister also owns a gas station.

Replying to: gooddeal2 (Jul 15, 2008 9:35 am) Huh? Your excuse is laughable. Gimme a break. Someone, somewhere, perhaps a former employee or a consumer advocate would publish this information once it was found. "I think each dealer gets diff. discount, bonus...etc." What makes you think this? Is it just a "gut" feeling? Do you really think there is some sort of conspiracy hatched by Honda which EVERY consumer information site, including this one, have made an agreement with Honda to not publish this super-secret discount money? "This is like the cell phone companies. We don't really know the way they run their businesses. You can get a better deal on cell phone from a third party than get it directly from the company. Do you think that those third party dealers are losing money each month?" This makes no sense and does not help your argument. However, it shows that you are the type who thing every company in the world who deals with the end-user consumer has some agenda to make an obscene profit off you -- but you're too smart for them  In my opinion, you're making purchases more stressful then it ought to be. Do you drive six extra miles to save two cents per gallon on your gas purchase? I'm not going to banter back and forth with you. You will continue to believe what ever non-sense you spread around here. Meanwhile, me and the truth will be ignoring you. ****BACK ON SUBJECT**** Do to a very low suppy of accords available in the twin cities area, metro dealers have increased prices for Accords. Suppy VS. demand.

| i recently visted a mpls-area honda dealership and it was pretty busy. 3 accord's were sitting out front w/sold signs and appeared to be waiting for delivery. i was also told that all of the 4-door civics were sold out. amazing. i've been visiting a lot of competing dealers over the past few weeks (infiniti, acura, lexus), and none of them were even close to as busy as the honda dealership. didn't have a chance to talk about terms w/the sales person, i just wanted to get a test drive of the V6 accord under my belt. if i can't get a decent deal though i'll pass, stimply too much competition to pay a significant premium over invoice in this market. | |

Replying to: carb (Jul 16, 2008 5:36 am) I am looking at getting a Honda EX-L 4cyl (w/o Navigation), and the dealer is quoting me $25,100 OTD, is that a good price? Is that a reasonable price or should I be paying less? If you or anyone else on the site with the knowledge and/or experience, please fire away. Thanks
