Replying to: temj12 (May 11, 2005 9:54 pm) The carsdirect.com no haggle price in the Atlanta area is showing $21,472 right now. So there should be a dealer in ATL and one in KY that can do that or better. Dennis

Replying to: mqqb (May 11, 2005 2:35 pm) Then educate us: Go to the Edmunds new car page here and see what it shows for MSRP and invoice, and selling price (TMV) for the car you got the report on. See what incentives it says (none, since it is an Accord). Edmunds will also show you than hold back on a Honda is 3% of base MSRP. Go to carsdirect.com and put in your zip and see what it shows for MSRP, invoice, and selling price. Go to kbb.com and look up the MSRP, invoice, and "KBB price" for that car. How do they all compare to what you paid $12 for? The hold back is no mystery, it is simply (on a Honda) 3% of MSRP w/o any options or accessories. Any time there are price changes mid year, normally the price changes for both dealer and MSRP. So if Honda raised the MSRP $100 in Feb, then the dealer invoice went up $100. So if you see a car on the lot with a slightly different MSRP, you can use the difference to calculate the slightly different invoice. So educate us on what is is exactly you are getting better for $12 than we get for free over the Internet. I am a long time CR subscriber and I really thought I could get a ROI on one of their $12 packages I would spend the money - but I do not. Perhaps you can show me the error of my ways? Thanks, Dennis

Replying to: louise56 (May 11, 2005 1:33 pm) So, for those reading this Forum, I want to say that my purchasing experience  Anderson Honda in Palo Alto mimic's Louise's, including paying cash!!! The owner of Anderson Honda called Tuesday May 10th to see how everything is going, etc. and now I'm just waiting for the survey to come in the mail! I want to thank Edmunds.com for hosting this Forum! Thinking back, between April 29-30th, ... while I was still doing my research on the Accord 4 cyl. AT EXL, etc., ... naturally, ... one of my internet Car REFERENCE INFO sources is Edmunds.com. Looking deeper Edmunds.com menu, I found this Honda Accord Forum and started reading all the posts in "Honda Accord: Prices Paid & Buying Experience" dating back about two weeks!!! Reading all of Dennis (dwynne) posts were Very Informative and Helpful!!! Thanks Dennis!!!  But the post that got me to take the next step and gather a number of Dealer email /phone QUOTES was, ... Louise post #7514 - Apr 29, 2005. One of the email Dealer Quotes she got came from my neck of concrete buildings, ... and that was from AutoWest Fremont! I live about 20 min's from there which is located on the east side of the SF Bay. Thanks Louise for taking time to post your buying experiences!!! Now in hind sight, in my case the whole process happened rather quickly ... 1) Sunday May 1st - "Get Dealer Quotes" Edmunds.com option (got 6 Dealer QUOTES) .... a) Quotes ranged between $600 to $1,700 below INV w/Dest.) 2) Monday May 2nd - Worked an email/phone deal with Anderson Honda .... a) Verified they will Beat my lowest Dealer Quote by $100 - which made it $20,986 + fees .... b) Anderson emailed me OTD estimate, ... which was a little more than what I finally paid = $22,961.81 OTD 3) Wednesday May 4th - Made an appointment to test drive, choose a color from the coming three 4 cyl. EXL Sedans .... a) They sold all their remaining NEW 4 cyl. EXL Sedans last Sunday May 1st - the last 2 were Graphite Pearl. 4) Wednesday May 4th - Choose Desert Mist Metallic and put $500 down, later they emailed me the VIN # .... a) The other 2 colors were Black & Silver - all 3 cars arriving between May 5th to 9th. .... b) Now the wait! ...  5) Friday May 6th - Took delivery and paid CASH!!! .... a) Like Louise's experience, we were there about an hour and a half .... b) No hassle or haggle - all were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Phil Pic's of my 2005 Honda Accord 4 cyl. AT EXL PZEV Sedan

OK folks, can someone here who has gone over their Accord from top to bottom tell me exactly what the speaker package is in one of these babies? What exactly are the 6-Speakers and where are they located?

These are complemented by a wonderful pair of tweeters tucked into the corners of the dashboard, firing upward into the windshield glass and reflecting into the cabin. Louise |

Replying to: mqqb (May 12, 2005 3:57 pm) No attitude, just let the rest of us know what is better about the service. If it is indeed better, then you would be doing the rest of us a service by showing us. Dennis |
