Bottom Line on Dealer Incentives by 750bmz
May 16, 2005 (5:36 pm)

In speaking with a manager at a local dealership he gave me the bottom line on the incentive program honda is running now. There is no traditional "dealer cash" on Accords, but there is a "Stair Step" program where the dealer gets $750 from honda if he meets his sales goal for the month.
This means that come the end of the month if a dealer needs a few units to make his goal, he will be very motivated. If he has already made his number however he may not be as aggressive.
 
The number I was quoted on a BRAND NEW Accord EX-V6 sedan was
$23,100 plus
Taxes 6%
Tags
Doc
etc
For an NJ customer the # was $25,000 OUT THE DOOR.
This includes the $750 incentive and approx $800 in holdback.
I know he was serious because he presented me with a buyers order with these numbers ($25,000 OUT THE DOOR). I only passed because I wasn't ready to buy just yet, and if he needs to move a unit on the last day of the month I can save another $100 - $200.
 
If anyone else has additional info on this program please share.

It is interesting that you can't find a 4 cylinder 5 speed 2005. The dealer in Cookeville, TN gave me a good deal for the area, precisely because they are hard to move off the lot. They are available in my area, which is the Nashville area.

EX-L, 4cyl manual pricing on Carsdirect by beamin2
May 16, 2005 (9:20 pm)

I bought the EX-L at a dealer for 21,500 including destination... thought that was a pretty good price (21,900 invoice, less $700 - 3% of MSRP - is $21,200)
 
This was before I heard about carsdirect. The carsdirect price is 20,700.
 
My question: how is the carsdirect price less than the invoice-less-holdback? Is this the volume rebates kicking in? Just how badly did I get screwed?

Invoice - hold back - dealer incentives = dealer makes no money price.
 
Hold back is 3% of MSRP so you can figure that. From March through May Honda has been giving dealers an incentive based on sales goals. The top number was $600 in March, $750 in April, and $900 in May. So if the dealer knows or plans to qualify for the top incentive, then invoice - hold back - $900 + some profit COULD be the price.
 
As was mentioned, not all dealers get the full incentive. I think every one that I talked to in March made it for the $600, but I am wondering if Honda raised the bar since then.
 
You got your car for $400 under invoice, which is normally not bad for a Honda. Without knowing about the incentives hard to drive a better bargain.

The reason is that Honda was giving incentives to the dealer if they reached a certain quota. Carsdirect is probably factoring that in. I bought a 2005 EX-L 4cylinder five speed for 21,800 including destination. The dealer fee on top of that was 200.
