Hot car! I'm normally not a big fan of non-OEM wheels, but those are pretty sweet.
 
Has anyone seen thess OEM wheels on an actual vehicle:

I think they look a bit goofy when you see them through the Build and Price at http://www.hondacars.com but they are OEM and only $136/each. I just wish I could see an actual picture of those wheels on a real car.
 
I can't wait for Saturday and my new car! I'm probably going to get XM radio first and then a spoiler. We'll see about the wheels, I like the 2005 hub caps better than 2003-4.

Thanks Monto...
 
The price sure was right also at $350 off the rack and out the door.
 
The pics dont do the setup justice really, they look perfect with the Graphite Pearl as the base color.
 
The machine polished lip matches the chrome around the windows and the satin powdercoated center really goes well against the Graphite.
 
I have seen a car with the wheels you linked on it in person, I was not at all impressed, but thats my taste, and they are well outside my price range. The Accord was white.

jluede - you paid $19,915 for a 2005 4-cyl EX with AT (no fees or taxes)? Please confirm that. According to www.edmunds.com, the msrp is $23,515 and the dealer invoice is $21,214 (both include freight). How did you get it for $1,300 UNDER invoice, or did I misunderstand something???? Did I mess up big time??? Thanks!

Don't know where you are located, but if you check carsdirect.com using a San Francisco zip code you will get $19,913 quote before TTL for the EX 4cyl. AT. This is the "no haggle, no hassle price". I got a quote a couple of weeks ago from AutoWest in Fremont (near SF) for $19,400 (plus $45 documentation) for the same car and another dealer (Anderson Honda) was willing to beat it by $100. So, yeah, depending on the location dealers are selling these cars for $1,300 under invoice or more.

psdx,
 
Yes, that is correct. I bought a 2005 EX (4 cyl) with AT for $19,915. I am located in Houston, Texas. There was a $50 doc fee and taxes were 6.25%. Plus the DMV fees my final price was $21,400.
 
I contacted several dealerships in the area and the inital price quotes ranged from $20,250 - $21,300. The $20,250 was from John Eagle, where I had purchased my '03 civic from. I set up an appointment with the salesman and after the test drive he put a buy order for the $20,250 in front of me. When I balked at that he got pretty upset and ranted on basically accusing me of going back on my word. In reality all I actually said in response to him asking if we could make the deal was that "we could go talk about it". When he finished his rant and asked if we had a deal, I said no, not unless I could drive out at $21,400. After some more hesitation on his part (claimed he didn't trust me not to try and get down even further by threatening to go to a different dealer with a price guarantee) he returned with the papers to sign for a final price of $21,400
 
Based on Invoice minus 3% holdback minus $900 incentive I figure I paid about $300 above cost. I'm happy with that...I just hope the incentives don't get much higher before August. Although it wouldn't surprise me that much. At least I got the 3.9% financing as well so I don't think I can complain about the whole deal very much regardless of what happens in the next couple of months.

Looking to buy an Accord EX-L in Chicago - quoted $23,840 out the door price -- includes $21,714 selling price (invoice of $22,652) plus $55 doc fee, $100 internet fee, $1800 sales tax, $143 plates and $25 state fee. Is this good?

Definitely check out carsdirect.com and intellichoice.com for a more bottom-line invoice price. You invoice seems kinda high. The lower invoice price you find, the better off you are for negotiating. Also, I would advise against the $100 internet fee. An acquaintance bought an Ody through Jacobs internet sales and never paid an internet fee. I just bought an EX-V6 w/o navi in April and your doc fees, sales tax, plates and state fee are in line.
 
Good Luck

Thank you! For the EX-L Automatic XM, Intellichoice had a $22,136 invoice and both Carsdirect and Kelley Blue Book $22,652 show $22,652. Does this seem right? Is there a better way to search for a 'bottom line invoice'? I appreciate anyone's advice. Thanks.
