I got my 2009 Accord EXL V6 Sedan in White Diamond this afternoon. Here are the numbers: Car price: $24,200 Protective coating: $400 CA State Tax (9.25%): $2,280.59 License & Registration: $371 Doc. fee: $55 Tire Fees: $8.75 OTD price: $27315.34 Dealership is Hardin Honda at Orange County. Dealer offered extended warranty (non Honda Care) 7Yr/120,000 with $50 deductable + alarm system for $1300 no tax but I did not take it. All along, I was looking for a EX-L Coupe (4 or 6 cylinders). I used the email function in Edmunds.com to request quote from about 10 dealerships in LA and Orange County area and received about 6 quotes from dealers last week. The lowest offer was $24,672 for a 6 cylinders EXL Coupe. I posted the numbers here last week and Edmunds member buckrogersocir posted his buying experience and numbers here and suggested me to shop at Orange County. Because he got a really good deal so I use his numbers as reference to negotiate. Buck and his wife are so kind to inform me the dealership name and the sales person's name and shared their experience with me. I eventually contacted that sales person and set up an appointment for this afternoon. In the mean time, I countered offered at $22,000 for 4 cylinders and $24,000 for 6 cylinders to several dealerships during the week; some replied asking me to meet with them face-to-face but some never responded. All responded dealerships were willing to match that lowest quote I got but they did not want to go lower. Last night I stopped by at Goudy Honda to talk to the Internet sales person. I offered $22,000 for 4 cylinders and $24,000 for 6 cylinders. The guy's willing to match the competitor's offer of $24672 but unwilling to go lower; he did offer the paint protective coating ($395 value) for free though. Since the offer's still high so I left; the sales person told me to shop around and then call him again after that. Another dealership told me that if I buy from them; they will include 4 oil changes for free and match whatever quote I bring in. Last night my wife and I changed mind and decided to get a EXL V6 sedan instead and the offered price range will be $24,000 - $24200. This morning I called Goudy and the guy offered $24,600 +T/T; another dealership offered $24,500+T/T. When I was at Hardin Honda, the negotiation went well; eventually we agreed on $24,200; OTD price before the protective coating is $26,865.75; I called Goudy if they are willing to match that and the guy told me to buy from Hardin. Did I get a good deal in this transaction?

Black/Black $600 Down (including 1st Months Payment) $315/month including tax 24 Month Lease I think I made out pretty well on this car and so far the car is great to drive. I'm very happy with the new Accord, the car is 10x better than the previous model. |

I think I got a decent deal even though I think I could have gone lower. Accord EX-L V6 24,600 + TTL the price included the destination charge. no navigation and no extra options. Was this a good deal?  They tried to sell me the protective coating, side guards for the doors, extended warranty etc, I declined everything, Dealership and sales guy was A+++, no pushy, knowledgeable and directly to the business. Negotiation was basically over the phone before I went to the dealership |
