Last week I purchased a new 2009 Honda Accord Ex from Piazza Honda of Philadelphia. A friend turned me onto the Internet department there she had purchased two cars from a woman(no names) and spoke very highly of her. I figured I would give it a shot and see what kind of deal I could get. I shopped 2 other dealers in PA and one in NJ before contacting Piazza honda. My experiences at the other dealers were very decieving. 2 of the 3 dealers promised me a price, but when I arrived their vehicles had additional fees and equipment that I did not want and there was no negotiation available to remove the options off of their cars. The 3rd dealer was okay everything went well until getting ready to sign my paperwork and I realized that they were selling me a stick shift instead of the automatic that they showed me and gave me pricing for. I demanded my deposit backed and walked out. When I contacted the Internet Department at Piazza I had almost given up hope, but she assured me that she would take care of everything for me and for me not to worry. What a GREAT experience!! It was the best car purchase I ever experienced. Everyone was friendly and very different from the other dealer I had visited. Once I got to the dealership there was nothing unexpected. They honored their original quote and didn't try to charge extra for destination. They also gave me some free stuff with my purchase, like free state inspections and oil changes. She also expalined to me that since they are located in the automall right next door to the PHL Airport they offer free airport parking to all customers who buy a car from them. which is a big plus for me since I travel quite a bit because of my job. I am going to save hundreds over the next year alone. I have already recommended the internet department and the dealership to many of my friends. If you are looking for an honest deal with no hidden charges give them a shot. HIGHLY recommended.

Bought it in Maryland 3 weeks ago. In my buying experience here in Maryland/VA, serveral dealers were willing to offer me as low as $20300 to as high as $20800. Bought mine for 20500 OTD since this car comes with nitrogen tires, mud guard, door guard and fender trim. I could have bought it for $20300, but I like these options. All dealers played their games with me and confused me with their prices, options and other fees. I did a lot of homework before making my decison to go with the price. My advice is that you need to know the invoice price, check this website and see how other people did it and then give a lower (much lower) to many dealers. Talk to as many dealerships in your areas/states as possible, so you will get a good sense of how much the price in your areas. Then email them and spend some time talking to them but give them a flat number and try not negotiate options, fee and other stuff with them since dealers will pull out their papers to show you that they are losing $$$, that just a lie. Keep talking to them and pressure them about good prices you got from other dealerships (make up some fake but reasonable and believable number to make them think and compete). Believe me they will compete but your figures have to be believable. They might not do it at first but try to email them once a while (most of the time, they will email you in every 2 or 3 days). It's better for them to email you first since this tells you they are worried if you have bought the car. No salesperson want to lose any deals, especially in this bad economy. Keep in contact with them till the end of the month and that's when the salespeople and dealerships need to report and meet their sales number. This is the best time to cut a deal with them and they are much more willing to accept the cut since they are under pressure. Know your local market and wait till the end of the month, you have the best chance of getting the best deal in your hometown. Good luck and thank you for everyone that post their information that have helped make my descision. |

Hi, Just bought one from dealer in MD, $27600 Out the door and I am VA resident. But they don't have special financing for Accord, and want to charge me 5.34% for 36 months, i have a very good credit history, is it the rate supposed to be ? They said they will give me few days to go to bank to see if I can get a better rate.

Replying to: NewtoBogle (Feb 21, 2009 1:59 pm) Bedford offered a slightly better deal with a $200 gas card. They have much more aggressive sales people. I didn't care for that. So I purchased from Mentor. Good luck

Replying to: soroka24 (Feb 21, 2009 12:10 pm) I got the same exact deal as another guy on this board, from the same dealer (Hendrick Honda, Woodbridge, VA), and I haven't seen another even come close (not that I'm following too closely anymore). My suggestion is to call and ask for the Internet sales person, tell them the exact numbers from my deal and cross your fingers. I'm told that Internet Sales staff get paid a flat fee per car they sell rather than a commission based on the price they negotiate (like showroom sales people), so they have an incentive to give you a good number. Regarding financing: While I was test-driving cars, a Toyota sales guy told me that Honda and Toyota seem to alternate with lease/financing deals, so when I was looking in late December, Honda had the great PAR on the Accord and Toyota had the killer lease of the Camry. Then they switched - Toyota has the great APR and Honda has the lease deals. So if you're interested in buying, my guess is that Honda will go back to good APR after 3/2, when the current lease deals expire. Good luck! |

Just picked up a v6 EX-L Coupel w/o Nav for $24,990 + TTL. Zip Code is 52246. This price also reflects a trade-in on a 1997 Cutlass Supreme SL 4-door with non-working brakes in fair shape (which I figured would get me about $700 or so, not sure if I got that out of it or not). I think I might have been able to get this deal for around $300-$400 less, but I didn't want the hassle of the back and forth for the next couple weeks. The $24,990 includes the dealer fees and destination (they had to do a dealer swap to get my color choices), so with TTL it should be around $26,326 (sales tax of 6.0%). |
