Below invoice does not mean anything... what matters is the OTD price. In VA 29,100 OTD for a V6 with Navi can be had. If you paid less OTD you did well indeed.

I agree with you, however some dealerships count on you not knowing this and base their invoice with this charge. So, in effect, they can show you "invoice" and quote you a "below invoice" offer and still make more off the deal (if you're not aware of this). Bottom line: All negotiating around invoice should be done without consideration of destination charge. After you've negotiated your best deal (based on dealer invoice), then add in destination charge and TTL...

The 500 below includes destination ... yes ... the OTD was 29100.
I think this represents a fine deal compared with a deal that I was offered just 10 days before for a 2008 that was 28,400 OTD. Car never previously titled ... had 7 miles when they rolled it out of the showroom. Yes ... I stand corrected ... invoice+destination ... destination is unavoidable and paid by the purchaser.
I got the 3.9 financing as well. I'm glad to see there have been no changes in incentives yet...there will most certainly be some come January. I'm sure you could lay the same deal on the table and get it with little or no haggling.
 
P.S. Anyone know anything about Honda Care? I'm thinking of getting it to protect all the fancy electronics and switches ... beyond the 36 months, one repair on the Nav system will cost more than the plan.... Your thoughts please .. have a zero deductible price of $895 for 8 years and 100,000 miles.

Wow, guess you got a good deal. By my math, you paid only $1064 in TTL!!?? What was the dealer processing fee? In what city in VA did you buy?

I'm pricing a 2009 Honda EX-L with navigation 6 cyl with wheel locks and splash guards. MSRP is $31,683. I have received a best offer from four separate dealers in Delaware of $28,400 which includes destination charges. The invoice price shown on Kelly Blue Book shows $28,563... but that doesn't include the wheel locks and splash guard that the dealer is adding on... which seems to be about a $150 difference. Looks like I'm about $300 under invoice.
 
Did someone here say I should be about $500 under? Again, this is for a 2009.
 
Anyone think I'm going to get this deal much cheaper anywhere else?
 
Thanks, Eric

Just go with the best OTD price...In central VA its $29,100 OTD this includes 3 percent tax.

I got my splash guards, wheel lock, trunk tray and rear bumper applique "thrown" into the car.
 
My price was:
Sale Price: $27541.24 (includes destination fee)
Doc Fee: $150 (capped in IL)
Tax(7%): $1938.37 (I am from IN)
County Tax: $15 (cook county tax) (legit from my research)
IL 7-day permit: $10 (given 2 weeks though, for the price of one ) (legit charge)
 
Based on the sale price alone, this is $995 below invoice, not including the items thrown in. This is for an 09 V6 Accord SDN w/ navi.
 
I know jb_turner is going to say care only about the OTD price, but for a person with 7% tax rate, I would be paying around $29600 OTD, therefore, would this deal be considered worse than the VA deal? Therefore, always negotiate the Sale price and the doc fee as the rest of the fees are usually legit

Go ahead ... gloat ... Your deal rocks!!! 995 is better than 500!
You did, by my count a little better than here in VA.
Congrats!!! If the car was new and no issues ... you win the prize! ... I personally think any price Under 28,000 flat including destination is a good price. Dealers need to make a little money.

500 leaves a decent profit for the dealer on a quick sale with little or no work.
300 is still not bad ... the extras make the deal almost as good as 500 below.
Remember, the car actually costs the dealer a little under 27000 ... a $1300 or so profit is less than 5% ... even Walmart has better margins!!! Your deal is a good one.
