Replying to: csl1 (Jun 02, 2005 3:44 pm) 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? [UnQUOTE] You've got more fee's vs. California, but I'd say it's not a bad deal!!! I'd see if you could negotiate or get rid of the $100 internet fee though. Your final OTD is just $878.19 higher, than my price last May 4th, ... my car though is the PZEV 4cyl engine ... Final tally: 2005 Honda Accord 4 cyl. PZEV AT EX-L Sedan (Dealer's INV: $22,786.00 w/$515 DEST) Price: .........$20,986.00 (w/DEST - $1,800 below INV) Tire Fee: .............$8.75 Doc. Fee: ..........$45.00 8.5% tax: ......$1,735.06 (Price + Doc. Fee) DMV (Est): .......$187.00 ====================== TOTAL: ......$22,961.81 OTD  Hope this helps, Phil Pic's of my 2005 Honda Accord 4 cyl. AT EXL PZEV Sedan My Epinions.com 2005 Honda Accord Review |

Yesterday I priced the Accord LX for a NJ zip and was quoted 18,134. Today the price is 18,934. Is this because of the dealer-making-target bonuses have been reset for the beginning of June? Did some other incentives change for June? Does anyone think that in another few weeks the end-of-quarter and end-of-month pricing will be lower than this price? Can I still use the old quote, say, next weekend?

One theory that many people subscribes to is that dealers will hold back their best prices until close to the end of the month (although I personally don't believe in that). Then, if they need to sell x numbers of cars to meet their quota for the month, they will lower their prices again. Maybe that's what's going on and if that's the case there is hope that previous or greater discounts will come back later in the month. On the other hand, another theory is that dealers will do just the opposite, i.e. discount as much as possible upfront until they meet their quotas for the month or the quarter, and thus earn the max. incentives from the factory. If that's the case, you may be out of luck, because an increase in price would signal that they have met their quotas for the period. I followed prices closely from April through May before pulling the trigger a couple of weeks ago and did not notice prices being increased at the beginning of May. Anyway, there is nothing anybody (other than the dealers) can do about this since none of us have a crystal ball. So, for people that are still in the market, it is better to believe the former is the case rather than the latter. I guess at least theoretically logic seems to be in your favor favor as discounts on the current model year generally tend to increase as the next year model gets closer to hitting showrooms. I believe the 06' model is scheduled to be introduced sometime in August. Good luck.

Would someone who has purchased a car in California and who lives in Arizona explain how the transaction is figured concerning taxes and doc fees.Thanks for your help.
