You are getting a good price (if it includes destination)....the best prices are in NJ and CA and in NJ, it usually comes from the Open Honda dealership......Dont pay for the $189 Window itching, you can do it yourself for $20. I think it's a BS price IMO
 
Good Luck

Hey Tem, Everyone
 
Sounds like you got a good deal to me. I made a deal this morning - got it for a couple hundred below invoice after much negotiation with my trade. I'll post numbers once I take delivery on the car (they have to track one down).
 
Thanks for the info.

Standard Floor Mats VS Premium
 
The question is what is the difference?

I think all Accords now come with carpeted mats included with the car.
 
Honda sells "all season" mats as an accessory and they are ugly rubber mats - but I suppose handy if you get a lot of snow where you live.
 
H and A shows some "premium" mats at the top of this page
 
http://www.handa-accessories.com/accint03.html
 
and claims they are 40% heavier than the free ones. They get $67 + shipping for them and show a detailed picture of the mats.
 
My advice: just use the free ones until they wear out, if ever. Then you might think about paying for the "premium" ones.

Good advise Dennis!!!
 
Since my Accord included carpeted mats color was Ivory, I wanted some mats to protect them during the rainy & muddy season.
 
So, I bought a set of Heavy Rubber Floor Mats from Wal-Mart for $19.84 + tax - see the following linked for the digital pic's ...
 
Front Heavy Rubber Floor Mats
 
Rear Heavy Rubber Floor Mats
 
They fit well unmodifed (can be trimmed if required - trim channels provided) and stay flat because they're very heavy weight (1/4" thick) , I just may keep them in place year round!

About to but the Accord Coupe by antny49bce

Hey everyone?
 
     I am very new to the whole forum blog board and even newer to the Honda band wagon. That being said, I intend to be as helpful to others as others have been to me. I can start by asking everyone what they thought about a deal that I am bout to jump on. I have done extensive internet new car shopping and I have decided to purchase the 2005 Honda Accord EX 4cyl Coupe w/MT. I am keeping it simple for the time being with a cloth interior and nothing extra other then what comes with the car. For this car, I will have to drive kind of a hike, but I can get it for exactly $19,599 +tax and state reg fees = out the doors, or so I have been told. The dealers that I have contacted said that they can not beat it and somewhat mock me as if I am BSing them to negotiate a better deal. My questions is, with your experiences, do you think this is a realistic price quote? what do you all think on the matter? Thanks again!

Thanks for your feed back Dennis. We are looking at the I4, not the V-6 with automatic transmission. I plan to email those I have gotten quotes from and make sure these fees are in the quoted price. If I can find a lower price, do you think it is worth trying to get that price, or just go with the good deal I currently have on the table? I just want to make sure I can't get it for a lot less than what is currently being quoted to me.
Thank you again!
Christine

Thank you so much for the info. I have now put in an email to the internet departments of both of the Honda dealers you mentioned. I am in Largo, so it isn't that far to go to Brandon if the price is right. I appreciate all the additional info for this area. The quote I have is said to be $500 under invoice with another dealer willing to beat a low deal by $200, so that would be $700 under invoice. Do you think it is likely to get below this price in this area?
Thanks again.

Need a "How to" guide by indychick73

I plan to buy an Accord EX (4 cyl. AT) in the next several months. Is there a tried and true "formula" for figuring out what to offer the dealer for the car I want?
 
I've been researching for weeks, and feel more confused now than when I started! Being a single woman, I fear being taken advantage of and I want to be able to approach my car dealer with a reasonable offer that I can stand firm on.
 
I don't want any dealer extras, I will be paying cash, and my trade-in is only worth about 1300, according to Kelly Blue Book. If someone can give me a step-by-step tutorial for making a deal, I'd appreciate it tremendously.
 
P.S. I'm in NW Indiana... anyone know of a great Honda dealer in the area?

Thanks lorryfan and dwynne for your reply.
 
The quote $18150 includes the desination fee. However today I have a better quote from Open Road for $17200 with following disclamer. Not sure whether it includes Destination fee or not. Yet to call.
 
"Quote expires on Tuesday, May 31, 2005 and is valid only on in-stock or in-transit units. Price excludes accessories (unless selected or stated above), tax, dmv, and fees. Pricing subject to change after quote period."
 
I have seen many of you have used Open Road quote for pricing decision. Please let me know whther their quotes normally includes destination fee or not.
 
lorryfan, I am not familiar with the term "BS price IMO". Could you please explain it in simple terms and also elaborate on how to install Window etching myself with just $20?
 
Thanks for your help.
