No strange dealer fees or transportation costs. Another local dealer turned my down so I guess those were decent prices. Bernardi Honda in Framingham MA was the dealer I bought it from. They had lots in stock. |

Replying to: wibble1 (Apr 18, 2005 11:51 am) It seems like you got an excellent deal. Edmunds list the invoice price of the EX 4cyl manual as $19,980 (before destination charges) or $20,495 including destination. If we take out the 3% holdback ($680) and max. $750 Honda incentive to dealer I get a $19,065 true dealer cost (this includes destination). It seems like you were able to get your car for slightly less than their "true cost". Did this transaction include a trade-in? Congrats again. |

Here is the scenario: I can figure out the "true dealer cost" by using the invoice - holdback - incentive formula. On this basis, let's say I come to an agreement on the price that the dealer will charge for the car. At that point, the dealer will try to add some "fees" and the sales taxes. My question is which of these fees (destination fee, DMV fee, documentation fee, tire fee, etc.) are a true cost to the dealer and how much should they be? For instance, I would imagine that the DMV fee is an actual cost to the dealer. BTW I live in California. |

There are a number of topics there that are perfect for this line of conversation. Let's reserve this topic for members to share their pricing info specifically related to the Accord. kirstie_h Roving Host Host, Future Vehicles & Smart Shopper discussions |

Replying to: dwynne (Apr 18, 2005 12:48 pm) similar deals on the Altima (16,900 2.5S Manual 4C) like LX Altima (18,450 2.5S Manual 4C with convenience pkg) like EX Camery(16000) Mazda6(15000). Maybe manuals are hard to move, but they stocked alot, in all colors. For honda the automatic is an option. The manual has alot more pep too. My impression is that they sell cars the way Gillette sells razors. The money is in the service. |
