I live in the NW area of Nassau County on Long Island. I have been pricing an Accord EX-L 4-Cyl Auto Sedan. The best price I've been able to get has been the same price offered by carsdirect. I've been to one dealer and called / emailed several others. As soon as I mention the carsdirect price they tell me that it is too low. One dealer said that if I come in they would meet the price. Why would I go out of my way to go to a dealer that's not convenient only to have them match the price? I've been pushing to get the Palo Alto price of $20,968 but so far nobody is biting. I'm going to wait and test the waters around month end but it seems like carsdirect might be the way to go. I did see a V6 on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6254&item=4550134627&rd=- 1&ssPageName=WDVW that looked like a very aggressive price. Any objective opinions would be welcome. I'm willing to travel within or even outside the tri-state area if anyone has a dealer or salesperson that they recommend. One last question. My local dealer told me today that if I purchase the car from another dealer, they are not required by Honda to service the car. And that they have so much service business from "their" customers that they will turn away customers that didn't buy the cars from them. There is a sign in the service department that customers that buy the cars at that dealership will have "priority" but nothing about flat-out refusal to do the work. I figure that this is just a scare tactic but I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has been told anything similar at their dealer. FYI... I've purchased my last two Honda's (Odyssey & Pilot) at a different dealer and service at the local dealer has never been a problem.

We live in the Detroit metro area. We've shopped around several dealers and received an OTD price of $28,300 for an EX-V6 w/ Nav, fog lights, day/nite mirror and wood trim. Would like to get anyone's opinion on this...from reading the other messages - we feel as if we're paying about $1K too much? Thanks.

I recently bought a new vehicles and I am trying to sell my 99 Accord with 79K miles. The car is in excellent condition. KBB lists the Third party value at $7,295.00 and the retail price at $8,800.00. Last year my car suffered minor hail damage. The repairs were done at the dealership and instead of dinging out the dents, they replaced the trunk, hood and top roof(this was done on the advise of my insurance company who said that it would retain the structural integrity of the car). My insurance company paid the dealership $7K to get it fixed. Since they were replaced with new parts, the car looks like new. They also took care of the few door dings that were present. My question is. does this hail damage effect the selling price of my car? If so by howmuch? What will be a price I can sell it for? Any information is appreciated. Thanks. AMT- |

Replying to: alphawolf (May 09, 2005 1:09 pm) That's what I paid for my EXV6 with Navi. My only option was factory installed mud flaps. Depending on the monthly factory to dealer incentive, You may be able to get it down another $300-$1,000.

Replying to: gettling (May 13, 2005 6:26 pm) The service department stuff is just BS, they can't refuse to work on the car. The COULD make you wait or treat you bad. But most car dealers and service departments thrive on "ratings" by customers. That can determine rewards, trips, and even allocation. If you had problems getting a car serviced you would give them a terrible evaluation on the service survey and complain to Honda HQ every time this happens. Most dealers would not want this kind of attention. Besides, its a Honda - so all you are likely to need is routine maintenance anyway  Dennis |

Replying to: jpd1 (May 13, 2005 7:16 pm) True "OTD" prices are completely meaningless here, since we have no idea what kind of taxes and fees are due in your state. I can tell you that invoice on the car is around $26,500 and most dealers don't deal NAV cars as cheap as non-NAV cars so $27,000 might be a decent price for one. You can price the mirror, lights, and trim and H&A (Handa) and see the parts at a discount are $600 or more (depends on how many wood parts you are getting). The fog lights are a pain to install, so figure $100-150 in labor. Given all that, if you got the car, destination, accessories, and dealer fees for $28,300 it would not seem like a bad deal. If the $28,300 was a REAL OTD price including all taxes, tags, title, and other area fees then it would be a really nice deal. Dennis
