Request internet quotes from other dealers in your area to be sure you are getting a good price.

odugs,
 
How much is your trade in worth? Are you aware of the cash for clunkers initiative starting around August time? However there some conditions. Check out CARS

Hi dgreb,
Unfortunately, my trade in is only worth between 500-1000 dollars. I am also aware of the cash for clunkers bill but I have had the past luck and now present misfortune of owning one of the most reliable gas savers. The mirage gets me about 30mpg highway. It has a small tank but the bill does not cover tank size as far as I can see and read (I wish it did). Also the cash for clunkers timeline I believe starts this July and ends in september- http://www.cars.gov/

Hi Guys,
    Just got a $20,000 OTD quote for a 2009 accord lx from a local dealer here in Greenbelt, MD. How do you guys think about this deal?
 Have not talked with them about the finance rate yet, anyone knows the current finance rate for accord (36 month)? My credit score is around 700 I believe.
    Thanks in advance!

Hi oliverjia,
make sure that their out the door breakdown is not based on you taking Accords discount (1500 i think) and then forfeiting the 2.9-3.9% finance rate. These deals are either or deals. I'm in NY and I just got a quote of 20900 for an Accord LX so yours is better than mine OTD. I ended up purchasing a Toyota 2010 LE for 20799 after all said and done. OTD was 20000 for my Toyota financed at 3.9% for 5yrs although by my calculations I will pay up in 2.5 to 3yrs. I had to forfeit Toyotas $750.00 discount. Goodluck! Please let me know how it goes. Experience will prepare me for next time.
 
PS: Remember you get an IRS return for all sales Taxes on New Cars. So in essence I have only paid about 19000. (I live in a high tax county)

'09 Sonata GLS by sandman_6472

Just test drove one of these puppies with the power seat option and Honda & Toyota you've got some stiff competition out there. Seat was super comfortable and the car drove super smoothly with no perceptible bump with the gear changes...smooth up the power band. Having driven all three now...Accord, Camry & Sonata...all drive the same and if a blindfold on, doubt most would be able to tell the difference...REALLY!
And salesman said the 2010 Sonata will be a different looking animal with new tail lights and Genesis style grill...should be a real looker. At this stage of my life with my spinal issues, I now realize that I need a power seated car to drive pain free. Only reason why I've started to look again. Gotta felling that I might just end up with one of these 3 cars before the year is out.

You should be able to get at least another $500 or so off that price, maybe even $1000. Just don't let them low-ball you on the Altima you're trading in.
 
Be sure to use Edmunds TMV to check the values of both cars in your ZIP Code.

I've dealt with most of the Honda dealers in the north-metro Atlanta area- my best experiences were Ed Voyles in Smyrna and Hennessey in Woodstock. I'm NOT a fan of Honda Carland in Roswell (or Cartersville) or Gwinnett Place Honda.
 
If you haven't already, you should price the specific car (trim level, color, transmission, etc) using Edmunds TMV (just go to Edmunds.com, click New Cars, Price w/ Options and follow the instructions). Once you get to the TMV summary, scroll down and you'll see the option to get quotes from various local dealers. It's worth a shot to let them all give you a quote! Can't hurt...
 
Just my two cents...

Hi Odugs,
 
Just a note on your point on tax. You do not get the entire sales tax back. You only get to deduct it from your income, with the result, your net savng will be about 20-30% of the sales tax paid (depending on your tax bracket).
 
Just wanted to clarify...
 
Cheers,
Lax
