Hey Blue...
 
It has been a week or so now since i was actually negotiating price with the dealers. Last quote I got for an LX-auto was $17,800, PZEV.
 
Also, the doc fee is $45 and $15 for 1-way-out-pass.
 
Be sure to have your price negotiated with the protection package: gravel guard, trunk tray, and wheel lock. They all pre-install it and will try to hit you for a few hundred at the end of your negoriation. This is normal at Spirit, you just have to stand tall and say, THROW IT IN...
 
So, you should end up at $800-$1,000 saved on your deal, depends what you count the value of the acessories at, if at all. The gravel guard is a must have here in PHX as there are damn stones everywhere, I always here them rattling around in my wheel wells.
 
Also with the financing, be sure to tell them about it upfront, then do all the papers over fax and Fedex as needed. I personally would not wait to do it at the closing.
 
We cant post names of sales-people on here I am pretty sure. But at Spirit there is a very polite and responsive young lady that handled my discussions, her manger then tried to land the protection package sale on me, in the end it was included. I think they are the only 2 in the Internet Dept.
 
You will need to tag it right away when you get back, the CA tag you get only gets a one-way trip, and the trip has to be written out in the documentation before you leave the dealer.
 
I can get you the names of the sales-people I dealt with in email.

I have used it and liked it; some don't see why as most of the info is available FREE if one digs around on the Internet. I found that getting ALL of the info in one place very quickly was worth it for me. My time is valuable and spending 2 hours searching for holdback info, dealer incentive info, rebates, etc. wasn't worth it for me.
 
They give you the following info:
 
MSRP
Dealer Invoice (not hard to find anywhere else of course)
Any current consumer rebates
Holdback
Dealer incentives (if any are known)
 
And in the end they give you a dealer "wholesale price" that is below invoice prices found on the Internet. I also found their trade in info very useful as it helped me negotiate a good deal for my trade in after one dealer completely low balled me by about $2000.
 
The $12 I spent easily paid for itself when I bought my EX v6 AT.

I just downloaded the Cons. Reports. It seems to be very useful. Has anyone been able to negotiate below wholesale price (vs. invoice)? Wholesale seems to be about 600 - 700 below invoice. Can you get below wholesale on a 2005 Accord??? If so, how low below wholesale do you think dealers woul go?

Yes I have one I purchased in May. Beautiful interior. The exterior black has flecks of blue in it if you look at it in the light and closely.

The only thing you ever need from the dealer is a temp tag (so you can drive around a while) and a Certificate of Origin (this lets you title then register the car). This is a good way to put off paying the sales tax (and any other DMV related fees) for a while. Depending on the state you can put off a sizeable payment for 1-3 months - for some folks this might even have a tax implication if it's at the end of the year (you want to claim the sales taxes on the tax return for the following year)

Hi,
 
So you were quoted a price of around $17,500?? What's the name of the dealer? I'm in central PA and would certainly drive 100 miles for a deal like that.
 
Invoice including delivery is $19,000 for that car
 
Is that right?
