It's a 2008 EXL navi manual. Had to special order it to get it. They made that impossible starting in 2010. Even Honda is slowly phasing out manuals....

#26901 of 29871 Ridiculous quote from Coggin Honda for 2012 Accord LX by whirligig

Jun 30, 2012 (4:37 pm)

I feel pretty angry with Coggin Honda. I sent an internet quote via their website, and the salesman called me. I told him directly that I was ready to buy the 2012 Honda Accord and I am just looking for the best deal I can get right now. I know that the 2013 models are on the way and they are fully redesigned, and if the 2012 accord price is not that good, then I would like to wait. (I know many people are in the same situation as me). If their offer is good, I would go there immediately. So the salesman told me that he will send me the OTD price.
 
Then this is what I got:
OTD $ 24,972.75 for Honda Accord 2012 LX standard without any add-ons.
 
Are you kidding me?! I was so straightforward with you and you give me this quote? He told me that they can’t give me the best offer on the phone or email because they worry that I will use their price to go to another dealer. But they are the one who kept asking me where I got my information, and what prices other dealers have offered me!
 
This is what the internet salesman’s email said:
My job is to make sure I find the right vehicle for you that fits your budget, and with our 110% Price Protection Guarantee we will make sure you get the best price.
And OTD $ 24,972.75 is the best price for a 2012 Honda Accord LX on 6/30/2012!! Really!?!
 
I don’t know if the problem is because I am an international student and my English is not that good or because I am a women that he treated me like I am an idiot, but anyway, I feel terrible and I want to share my terrible experience to all the people on this forum. Be careful of this Honda dealer even if their reviews seem good!
 
These dealers say they will beat any price from another dealership, but they never quote a reasonable price themselves. They just don’t want to make any offer.
 
Here is the detail of the quote:
MSRP$ 23,110.00
Their offer $ 20,886.61
 
DEALER INSTALLED EQUIPMENT
Genuine Honda Protection Package (Mud Guards, Wheel Locks, Trunk Tray) $ 799.00
Tint (With Lifetime Guarantee) $ 299.00
Pin Stripe $ 199.00
Nitrogen Filled Tires w/ Lifetime Refill of Tires and 120 Days of Road Side Assistance $ 59.95
PRICE INCLUDING ACCESSORIES: $ 22,243.56
 
DEALER FEE $ 599.00
AMOUNT TAXABLE ON VEHICLE: $ 22,842.56
SALES TAX- STATE &COUNTY 7.5%: $ 1,713.19
ESTIMATE-COST OF LICENSE PLATE AND/OR
TRANSFER OF PLATE MAY VARY $ 360.00
 
PRIVATE TAG AGENCY FEES $ 55
WARRANTY ENFORCEMENT ACT FEE $ 2.00
TOTAL PRICE $ 24,972.75

At that price you can get a top of the line EX model. As one says, a fool and his money are soon parted. I can get you an LX for under $20,000 out the door. Let me know and I'll help you out.

What were add-ons? Were mats, wheel locks and trunk tray included in this price?

I just picked up an SE with splash guards and nothing else for OTD price of 22218 in IL. That works out to 20500 + 161 doc + 1363 tax + 194 plates/reg. I was surprised to see that the only fluff fee was the 161 doc- which everyone charges as the state says that is the max that can be charged.

No add-ons. Just the stock SE. It did come with mats and wheel locks. The mats show on the sticker. I don't see the wheel locks on the sticker but they are on the car. No trunk tray.
 
I did notice when I was looking at the sticker on my desk I misstated MSRP with destination as $24780 when it should be $24820. Not that anyone cares about the $40 MSRP difference. All my other numbers in the post were accurate.
 
I think I did well although I wouldn't be surprised if people manage to do even better since it seems like Honda is being very aggressive pushing out the Accords. Although, the first couple dealerships I contacted didn't give me a price that reflected the incentives they are obviously getting. The third one came in with this price on an internet quote and I was happy with it. Went in and there were no surprises so walked out with the new car.

" Who in their right mind wants to drive a Honda with an automatic""
 
Only about 95 % of Accord buyers and hose are usually the people who just don't wat to pay more for the automatic.
 
Sales contunue to decline every year. EXL's ceased production a couple of years ago.
 
A lot of the smaller stores won't order any LX's with sticks because they are such poor sellers. As used cars they are even worse.

Man, you are lucky you were able to do that before Honda closed that loophole.
