Replying to: kingpcgeek (Jun 23, 2009 12:04 pm) I just got a 09 Accord LX 4 cyl AT in Des Moines, IA. Vehicle was $18,400. Total OTD was $20,368.   Good deal?   I shopped around with different working with various internet managers until I got this deal. I feel I did pretty good, all things considered.

Replying to: kingpcgeek (Jun 23, 2009 12:04 pm) Negative - that invoice number is inflated or does not give the entire picture. Right now Invoice minus $1500 is only $18,900 before TTL and I know for a fact that you can get the car for about $19,250 OTD in NC (TTL is about $1000). One of my relatives used to sell Toyota's and he would tell me how people would come in with those "Invoice" numbers. His response was "bring them in. I'll sell cars all day at those prices". It's possible we just don't know what the dealer holdback (3%?) is on top of that $1500. We are also coming to the end of the month which is when dealers want to sell as many cars as possible to make their numbers. What's the best day to buy a car "the last day of the month".

Replying to: mm20 (Jun 23, 2009 9:17 am) I think that is a little high - Base price for a 2009 Accord V6 EX-L with navigation is $26,100.00 plus wheel locks,($73.80 less 20% = $59.00)+splash guards1 ($138.60 - 20% = $111.00) )Remote start (678.20 - 20% = $539.00) + RVcamera ($755.00 - 20% = $604.00) These accessories can be found at about 35% off MSRP on the internet but you must install the options yourself. If the dealer has already added these options that will really increase the MSRP price. If it were me, I would offer the dealer $26,100.00 for the car and another $1,300.00 for the extras that the dealer put on the car. At least you would be paying the dealer 20% less (Vs. 35% internet shopping)and the 20% less price I included the installation fee a customer would pay getting this aftermarket from the dealer. Total price before Tax and License = $27,400.00 plus $222. = $27,622.00 plus 6% (approx. $1600.00)do not tax installed price of accessories only the parts = TOTAL APPROX. OUT THE DOOR PRICE = $29,000.00. Without extras the OTD price on the car would be $27,666.00 plus the $1300.00 options = $28,966.00 About two thousand dollars less than $31,000.If you work the figures I gave you, you can get an accurate OTD price put for the car do not pay more than $29,000.00.Hope that helps.

Replying to: honda_man2 (Jun 23, 2009 12:58 pm) Did you see the part where I said "or lower". You can't depend on a holdback since it decreases as the car sits on the lot. Honda holdback is 2%. You want them to sell below invoice and give up the holdback, where should they make their money? That secret slush fund that urban legends are made of?   BTW there are many people that feel that "buy the last day of the month" is the worst time to buy. Since everyone thinks that's the best time, there are lots of customer at the dealership. Buy before the end of the month and salesman are standing around waiting to make a deal in empty showrooms.

#23699 of 24490 Re: How is this Deal Honda Accord Ex-L [next1] by kcall2 Jun 23, 2009 (1:35 pm)
Replying to: next1 (Jun 22, 2009 2:04 pm) Steven, just sent you details of our purchase by e-mail. Please reply on this forum as to how your dealing with Steve Bailey Honda went, OK?   In Oklahoma, tax/title/license fees are not charged by the dealer. OK Tax Commission charges these fees (3.25%) when you register within 30 days. So OTD price does not include $725 or so on a $23000 purchase.   Good luck!

Replying to: kingpcgeek (Jun 23, 2009 1:18 pm) I'm only telling you from personal experienced based on someone who used to sell new Toyota's for a living. Business was so bad last year he had to give it up. Typically a dealer would like to see a minimum of $500 profit per new car sales. Most of the money they make are on used cars (trades) and service (coupon book keeps people coming in for every little service). He was always amazed at some of the deals that were made at the end of the month while full retail was the starting point at the beginning of the month.
#23701 of 24490 Re: 09 Accord LX price 19256? [knight4] by gooddeal2 Jun 23, 2009 (1:44 pm)
Replying to: knight4 (Jun 23, 2009 8:20 am) Your 2005 Accord is definitely a good deal. You figure in recession, we would get at least similar kind of deal but No. The dealers just don't want to give you the car.   '05 was the last year before the mid-cycle redesign. That's why s/he got a good deal on that. I believe people will be able to get better deals next summer for the '10 Accord.
#23702 of 24490 Should I believe it? by dave8697 Jun 23, 2009 (3:56 pm)
Edmunds TCO and TMV show I should be able to get $3124 discount off MSRP on a new Accord LX. On a new Malibu, they show an $800 discount, and the Accord comes out lower in price than the Malibu by $1190. They then use that $1190 lower price to reduce taxes, insurance, and finance charges on the Accord to gain an additional $480 advantage in TCO over 5 years.
#23703 of 24490 XM Radio by chris789 Jun 23, 2009 (7:39 pm)
I'd like to get a Accord LX with XM but may want to add it in the future. The option seems kinda high to add it later. Can I just get a portable XM receiver and plug it into the Aux port and play it through the stereo? If so how would this compare in sound quality to having it integrated in the radio.   tia, Chris Replies to this message: kingpcgeek (Jun 24, 2009 5:33 am)

Replying to: chris789 (Jun 23, 2009 7:39 pm) Yes you can do it, and the sound quality shouldn't be any different.
