Question on Selling my Accord by amt7565
May 13, 2005 (7:23 pm)
Reply
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.

2005 Accord EXLV6 sedan w/ NAVI for $25,970 plus tax, tag, and doc fee.
 
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.

Thank you very much! I believe we started with $25670 + $1K for the options we want + tax, title & doc. After pulling Consumer Reports, which had a starting negotiation that was slightly less, if we can get the doc fee removed and maybe then some, we might come out with a good deal. CR's report said there's no further incentives listed - at least in our region for this month.

OpenRoad / Jersey Honda have been "advertising" on ebay for a while. Looks legit, just add the $200 doc fee and other NJ or NY fees and that should be the price. There is a link on the ebay listing for "ask seller a question" and I think contact names and numbers in the listing itself and maybe an e-mail address. Just contact them and tell them you are interested in an EX-L I4 and what price can they give you for the car, destination, and dealer fees.
 
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

"Out the door" mean with all taxes, tags, title, and other fees included - what you would write the check for on a cash sale.
 
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.

carsdirect.com for the ATL area shows $15,855 selling price (VS a $16,755 invoice) for the "VP" . So I guess since your price includes the dealer fees that is is OK and > $500 under invoice. Some dealers in NJ or CA or some place might can beat that, but it is not a bad price.

What is the holdback for a 4-cylinder EXL with manual transmission? I plan on making my purchase either this or next month. Thanks.

Yes, I noticed that some areas have a $15,855 (or lower) selling price, but in my area, carsdirect indicates a 16,250 target price but I thought there may be some incentives that carsdirect did not know about. Anyway, I had to negotiate hard for this price and I stuck to my budget of 15,800 for as long as I could, but in the end it was either take it or leave it at $16,200. There were only two VPs on the lot and the dealer is not a volume seller, so I think I did OK and I did not have to leave the state to find a deal. The dealer had a processing fee of only $25 (to do the dmv work). OTD I think it is around 17.600 with 1.9% financing.
 
I am quite pleased with the purchase and glad I did not go with the LX trim since it offers amenities that I do not use (cruise control, map lights, center arm rest in rear seat, power mirrors, keyless entry). For me, those extras are not worth the $2000 extra.
 
I really tried to convince myself to go for the LX, but in the end I realized that I could buy a plasma TV for the $2000 I save (or put a bit more money into my investments).
