Re: What does leather add to the price? [mldj98] by suzannafl

Hi mldj98,
 
Thanks for saying the EX V6 only comes in leather.
That's the missing piece that didn't make sense!
 
KBB says that there is a $433 price difference between a 2005 and a 2004.
That looks like about what the dealer's website says about the car they have listed.
Is that "real world"?
Any hints on what a 2004 Accord EXL V6 automatic with 9,039 miles should go for?
 
I am in the same city as you.
Can you share what and where you ended up purchasing?
 
Thanks,
S

Hi Chuck,
 
Thanks for the CarsDirect link.
It shows the 2005 costs less than the 2004 the dealer has listed!
 
I'm glad I don't buy cars all the time, this is worse than the day job.

Good quotes? by accordinla

I am in the LA area and I have a quotes for 19688 and 19800 for an Automatic 4-cyl Accord EX coupe. I think these are good deals, but I thought I'd check in with the board. Also, I got a quote for an LX special edition for high 17's. Is it worth the difference in price for an EX?

Adamho, that sounds great. I'd definitely buy at that level. The best offer I got today was $23K OTD. I'll email you shortly.

The answer is fairly simple...the internet guy will usually provide you with two numbers...the price of the car and the OTD price...if you want more info then just ask them to break the whole thing down.... With posters on here....you are giving people the wrong number when you are posting the price of the car plus all of the junk fees...just post the price of the car...the other fees do not factor in because not all regions are the same... The junk fees they pay in California are not the same we pay here in Florida... If I post the price of the car I bought it is going to be for the car only...some people like to post the price of the car + dest. which I can't figure out...everyone pays the same for the dest. fee...The junk fees you are referring to are by region...and like I said in my last post...if you ask the dealer to breakdown the price then you have a base to work off of...I don't care what junk fees someone pays in California when I live in Florida...what I care about is what they paid for their car...plus any options...
 
I disagree. If dealer A quotes me $19,800 and dealer B (located in the same area as dealer A) quotes me $20,000 which is cheaper? You don't know unless you know exactly what the "junk fees'" are. For illustration purpose, let's say the rest of the price breaks down as follows (of course they don't mention the rest in the price until you walk in their dealer):
 
Dealer A:
Quoted Price: $19,800 (what you see in their quote)
Doc. fee and other junk fees: $600
TTL: $2,000
OTD: $22,400
 
Dealer B:
Quoted Price: $ $20,000 (what you see in their quote)
Doc. fee and other junk fees: $100
TTL: $2,000
OTD: $22,100
 
Now, tell me again who is cheaper and how would you know who is cheaper if you don't include the junk fees. The reality is that even within the same area, dealers will not quote you on the same basis, and dealers in the same area (unless set by law like in CA) may charge different documentation fee, for instance. That's done by design, so that higher priced dealers still get customers to shop at their dealers thinking their prices are lower. Also, they may or may not include destination fee in their "quoted price", which is another trick to make their prices seem lower. So, I don't understand why you're saying that the most useful information on this forum is the price without all the junk fees. If I quote you $10 for the car (and obviously I'm being fictitious here) and then charge $20,000 for junk fees (which you don't think is necessary to include in this forum) is $10 a good price for the car? I would say I don't know unless I find out what the junk fees are.

Also, I should add that if people are comparing prices in the same geographic area, than the most relevant price for comparison purpose would be the OTD price as taxes, title and license would be the same (% wise) within that area (county).

Great Forum! I'm currently looking to buy a 2005 Accord EX AT no leather. After doing lots of HW, a price around $20,500 including dest and option (rear wing spoiler) is sounding like a good deal. This does not include TTL. The current price on Carsdirect is lower. Has anyone ever bought a car online from that site? Easy? Recommended? I'm located in the SF Bay Area and might go that route.
 
Thx

Hi,
 
Are you looking for a 2 dr or a sedan? If 2 dr, then I can share the quote I have got.
 
Are you looking for a 4cyl or V6?

Chaky,
 
I'm interested in your quote for a coupe.
My first choice was a 4 cylinder but have looked at some V6s also.
 
Thanks,
S
