new 09 Accord Sedan EX-L V6 w/out Nav by swts8996

I have been quoted $24,880 by a Seattle-area Honda for an EX-L V6 no nav sedan...no tax since I'm an OR resident. Dest. fee included but not TTL. Has anyone seen lower in the Seattle area? Trying to see if it's worth the time to get more quotes in Seattle or just go with a dealer here in OR which has offered ~$24,700 (lowest quote in the Portland area).
 
Thanks!

trying to upgrade by sporin71

I'm in the process of trying to trade out of my 08 LX into an 09 EX-L (both 4cyl 5 spds). I offered 22,500 which is slightly higher then the Edmunds TMV. We'll see what they come back with. If I can get my terms then I'll only raise my monthly payment by about $50.
 
I replace my car every 5 years and it seems that every time I do it it coincides with high loan rates and no incentives. I figured I'm a bit early in the cycle but would like to take advantage of the 3.9%-60mos. and 1500 dealer cash to upgrade my car. Plus I can keep the same snow tires, just will need to buy 16" steelies.
 
I'll let you know how it goes.

so much for that by sporin71

Well, they aren't dealing much so I'll be sticking with the LX for a while longer.
 
EX-L 5spd 4cyl sedan : $24,118 includes shipping and prep.
 
Edmund's TMV on this car is just shy of $22.5, which is what I offered... no-go. This is a great local, Honda-only dealer. I have bought many cars from them in the past and it is the only place I would buy or service my Honda (next nearest dealer is an hour away). When I bought my LX their first offer was slightly below Edmund's TMV (Nov. 08) so I'm surprised they aren't dealing. Maybe if they had a 5spd in their inventory they would dig a bit more? Oh well.
  
I don't mind raising my payment $50/month, but nearly $100/month triggers my gag reflex. I guess I don't want it badly enough.

Where did you come up with a TMV for an ex-l to be $22,500 or less.
 If that was the case I probably would not be having so much trouble negotiating an ex-l under 22,500. I think you might me talking about the EX not the ex-l. I just checked and not even the manual ex-l has a TMV that low. Although it is not impossible to try and get the ex-l for that price (some people have paid even less) you need to get your facts straight in order to negotiate more effectively.

redone by sporin71

I just redid it and got a TMV of $22,927 .
 
I may have been mistaken.
 
Either way, I'm out. I only went into it thinking I'd be able to find a great deal but since that's not the case, I'll keep enjoying my LX for a while longer. I don't need to replace it or do anything now.

What's an acceptable cost difference between EX and EX-L '09 Auto? by nashikul
May 28, 2009 (1:09 pm)
Reply
The price difference between a EX and a EX-L (auto transmission) is 2K based on Edmunds car pricing. I am close to negotiating a price for a EX and but am now
thinking of going with the EX-L w/ leather seats.
 
How much is a reasonable increase for the upgrade from EX to EX-L?
 
This is in the Norther California, Bay Area region.
 
Thanks!

Re: could you provide more details on ex-l for $21,900 [brianjandreau] by bmet67

Great approach and great price. I was wondering how you insisted in no dealer add ins. The best electronic quote I got in the Dallas area is around $22,500 but after the add ins, it runs around $25K. Almost like a gimmick from the dealers...installing add ins and overpricing them. What's the trick?

The trick, I guess, is having several Honda dealerships within a couple of hours from each other and being upfront about going to another dealership if you don't get what you want.
 
If the dealership has to get the car you want from another dealership, then you are more likely, I think, to face the add ins issue. So, you are better off finding your car yourself at another dealership that you know the dealership you are working with works with (that was really convoluted, but I hope you get what I mean). This way, you know whether there are add ins to begin with.
 
Buying a car on the lot is always easier.

Bruce10,
Too bad you haven't been here in a while, but that was my car . I brought a 1978 Civic to Adak to replace the beautiful 1982 Honda Prelude that I had before I got orders to Adak. In 1985 I was stationed there. Everyone told me not to bring a 'nice' car to the island. She was sort of a copper color and I have a photo with her in the background somewhere. She was very reliable and I only lost control of her once and we slid into a snowbank. One other time she got stuck because the snow was so deep that the underside didn't clear it. I sold her to my boss when I left. I'm thrilled that she still ran at that time. She was a great car and deserved a better fate than Adak, but shipping cars off island is usually not worth it. Thanks for the great story!
MaryAnn
