I got my mom's LXP for $20075. I could only get the guy to throw in the wheel locks, which come through on any lxp for dealer security purposes anyway.
 
They got me on the conveyance fee of $300.
 
BUT,, these cars eat gas in the city.
The headlights do fluctuate with the AC on. The black interiors suck when it comes to keeping them clean, and heat retention due to sunlight.
 
Older drivers with neck injuries should consider a different vehicle.
 
The stereo system kinda sucks.. I think my 2000 Dodge Minivan has a better sound system than this car. Even for its age it produces better sound.
 
THe power seat isn't so smooth, nor is the drivers side rear view mirror. I expected better quality...
 
there is about 2k miles on this car. It is fun to drive. I got pulled over by a local cop for zipping past some hosebag in an suv... First time in a long time for me...
 
Car needs a wax job.. If my neck wasn't so aggravated from driving it, I would wax it tomorrow.
 
DON'T GIVE HONDA YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. THOSE BUMS WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ALONE!!!
 
GOOD LUCK!!

"I got my mom's LXP for $20075. I could only get the guy to throw in the wheel locks, which come through on any lxp for dealer security purposes anyway."
 
If OTD this is a good price... if not you should have shopped around.
  
 
"They got me on the conveyance fee of $300."
 
That is your fault.. what matters is the OTD price you paid.
  
 
"BUT,, these cars eat gas in the city."
 
Cars tend to do that.
 
  
"The headlights do fluctuate with the AC on."
 
Take if back and get it repaired.
 
"The black interiors suck when it comes to keeping them clean"
 
This is true.. however white is worse.
 
"and heat retention due to sunlight."
 
This is false.
 
   
"Older drivers with neck injuries should consider a different vehicle."
 
Why?
 
"The stereo system kinda sucks.. I think my 2000 Dodge Minivan has a better sound system than this car. Even for its age it produces better sound."
 
You are purchasing a car not a sound studio. The 270 watt audio sounds much better.
  
 
"THe power seat isn't so smooth, nor is the drivers side rear view mirror. I expected better quality..."
 
Why would you expect better quality? you have purchased a sub 100k mass produced vehicle.
  
 
"there is about 2k miles on this car. It is fun to drive. I got pulled over by a local cop for zipping past some hosebag in an suv... First time in a long time for me..."
 
Bad for insurance.
  
 
"Car needs a wax job.. If my neck wasn't so aggravated from driving it, I would wax it tomorrow."
 
Sell it.

I bought my Honda Accord yesterday, price before tax and license was $20,100. OTD was $22,060. I felt pretty good about the price from the research I've done and the quotes I received. Although today I got an email from another dealership saying they will knock off $300 from the lowest quote one has received. Doh!

Hi,
 
I just bought my new Accord EX-L V6 with navigation today. The price I paid was 26900 plus only tax, tags, and title.
 
Hope this helps.

Is your 26900 including the destination fee?
 
Did you do all the negotiating over email and if you did how did you manage to meet that price?
 
Which state was this in? I am in the market for this trim model, hoping to save a little more if they still have some 08s in stock. Thanks!

Just got the 2008 Accord EXL V6 with splash-guards for all four tires, wheel locks, and trunk tray (FMV at $200, maybe) for $27,250 OTD in Los Angeles, CA. Think it is a good deal or I got robbed?

Did it come with navigation as well?
 
Overall, seems like a great deal to me....Im assuming your price w/o TTL was around 25200?

No Navi, $1,500 more if I do get it. At least that what the guy said. Before TTL is $24946 to be exact.

Great stuff!
 
Did you look around and negotiate by email as well? I am trying to get a feel of what type of strategy I need to impose (obviously to get the best price!).
 
How low did you try to start the negotiating?

Strategy or not, I don't know. At first, the best offer I got for the 2008 Accord EXL - 4 Cycl with no Navi was $25,000 OTD. That was what I want to buy at first. At the dealer, tested the car and decided to buy the V6 instead. So the sales person quoted me $27,765. I asked for $27,000, refused and go for $27,250 and they still refused. They wanted $27,500 with no added option. I called a sales person (Family friend, doesn't mean he gave me the best offer) from another dealer and told them that a dealer offered me at $27,250 (I lied obviously). He said they can match it and along with a few options. So I didn't really shop around for the one I got. I also wasn't able to get the 1.9% APR finance because I only have student loans even with a 805 credit score out of 900. Can you believe it!!!!!!
