Accord LX-P 2008 automatic for $20,000 +TTL by kw_da

Hi All,
 
Thanks for all the posting on prices. Here is my deal - just bought 8/30/08 at Vista Honda in Ventura - Southern Cal. Persistent salesman - but he made the deal work.
 
2008 Accord LX-P auto with wheel locks, splash guards, door guards, trunk tray, & some Blue tooth attachment for radio.
 
$20,000 + TTL = $21750.74 OTD. No trade-in - financed everything 1.9%
Not sure what the invoice price of the accessories, but the online pricing from San Leandro's website is:
wheel locks = $39.15
Splashguard = $81
Trunktray = $109.35
Door Edge Guards = $67.50 (can't believe these are so expensive)
 
BT kit is $99+$12.89 shipping on Ebay - this was listed as $499 on window sticker!!
 
Also got a cleaning & wax kit.
 
I figure the approximate invoice price for all this extra stuff was about $400 (vs their sticker of ~1000), but I probably only would paid for the splashguards, if they already didn't have it on the car. So the estimated cost for the car is ~19,600 + TTL w/o the accessories. Deal had to be approved by one of the owners who happened to be there and it was for the red color which isn't that popular. Problem is now, selection is getting scarce and dealers all have added dealer packs (additional profit for them).
 
Anyway, the deals are out there, but getting scarce - good luck to everyone else - hopefully this first year of the new generation doesn't have teething problems.

Just got this yesterday (8/31/08) for $25,539 + TTL in Tempe, AZ. Destination is included, but not 'documentation', which they charged $368 for. Overall, I'm really happy with the car and the transaction.

When looking for quotes (purchased 5 Hondas in the last 7 years) I typically email the following Houston dealers:
 
1. Streater-Smith Honda (Conroe)
2. John Eagle Honda
3. Honda Cars of Katy (owned by John Eagle Honda)
4. Goodson Honda
 
In my experience, the first three will quote invoice pricing, with Goodson typically $500-$1,000 more. Now that doesn't mean Goodson won't ultimately match the lowest price, but you gotta visit the dealership to negtotiate, which I refuse to do.
 
All 5 of our Hondas were purchased at Streater-Smith because they were very easy to deal with - no presssure, had no dealer add ons - except for a few cars with the power pack, and honored the price quoted. I also live in Spring which is a 20 minutes drive to the dealer. I will email the internet sales manager's name if you want it.

Welll I guess the price of $23500 was for the model without Nav. Your's is with Nav. It looks like you've got a fairly good deal. How is the car driving?

Thank you, sounds like you did well. We are taxed here at 8.625.
I'm pushing hard to get my purchase price to 28,500.
I'm not in a hurry so I'll keep trying.

The 09 V6 EXL is about $450 more. There are practically no differences between the 09 and 08 models so I would just pick the one that makes the most financial sense. Personally, I would be happy with around $27500 +TTL on the 08. On the 09 model, invoice price of about $28300 would be my target (it may be a little too soon for that trim to go at invoice). If you are planning to keep the car for at least 5-6 years, the resale will be very close at the end so you want to minimize your up-front cost. Another benefit of getting the 08 model would be the attractive financing that is being offered (1.9 and 3.9 APR?) for the ones that qualify. All in all, a am very happy with my V6 EXL w/ navi. Good luck.

Frankcario,
 
Thanks for the heads-up on some local dealers.
 
I also want to do most of the dealing via internet. When you mentioned they quoted invoice, was that on the first email or did you work to reach the invoice price?
 
Should I initially bid at invoice or lowball it?
 
So far, the best 1st quote was from John Eagle at 27543 (08 EX-L V6 Accord Sedan w/navi)

I bought an 08 V6 EX-L with the appearence package. I walked out at $26,800 including TTL and all fees. I am very happy with my purchase and from what I seem to be reading from other peoples posts I got a pretty good deal.

Thank you so much for the great advice. I called and emailed several local dealerships for the best price. After going back and forth with a couple of dealerships, I got an awsome deal. I was able to get a 2008 LXP with a spoiler for $22,600 drive out.
 
Thanks again,
 
Michelle in TX
