Honda Car Forum

What is a good price for a 2004 Accord EX, V6, 6 speed, 2 door, no
navigation? I can find the supposed "invoice price" on the internet,
but I don't completely trust that. The dealer said he'd sell it for
$1000 over invoice, but that was his initial offer without any
negotiation at all. Out the door price, including tax (6%) and title
transfer fee was quoted as a hair under $27K. I believe the price of
the car that's supposedly 1000 over was $25,340 (Edmunds shows invoice
as $23,844.) I'd also be finanacing through Honda for 48 months
@2.9%. I will of course check out other dealers also. BTW this would
be purchased in the Great Lakes region.

Any advice appreciated.

Does Edmunds offer any dealers in your area who will send you quotes?

I did that recently, had four below-invoice quotes in the email within
twenty-four hours (on an EX4 auto sedan).

I just bought a 2004 Accord and I got it for $150 below invoice.

After researching the invoice and "TMV" on Edmunds.com, I just called
all the dealers in my area (about eight of them) and asked for the Internet
sales manager. I told them what I wanted, asked if he had any, and asked for
their best price. I then called back the guy with the second lowest price
and asked if he could beat the lowest. He could. I called back the dealer he
had just beat, and they wouldn't go any lower. That's how I got my price.

I think that this system worked very well for me. YMMV.

I got the '04 V6 EX with fully loaded with leather and navigation system (4
DR) for a shade under 26k.......I'm in CA, SF Bay area.

At the "one simple price" Honda dealer here in San Antonio, TX. they
normally have one or two EX V6 accords (4 door) for 23,600 - 24,100.
The 2 door is about $300. less. The other EX v6's (presumably on the
lot for a shorter period) are usually just over 24,000 to just over
25,000.

Find out what the Cars-Direct price is and shoot for it. At least in my
case, it was considerably cheaper then Edmunds TMV price. I ended up
getting the Cars-Direct price from a dealer not refered by them.

Has no one else tried the mycar.com web site? For $20, I had the dealwers
bidding for 7 days. Then I can choose to purchase or not. I know I could
do the same myself, with a phone book and a fax machine, but this service
has it already to go. Got a cr-v ex for $300 under invoice and an accord ex
w/ leather for $650 under.

Might be worth a try.

I am also looking at the Honda Accord, I have so far talked with the
following dealer here in LA, it is a no hassle price and their Doc fee
is only $45.00 +tax and License the guy Al is a straight shooter and
very patient ,not pushy at all.

check them out, here is the prices on the 3 cars I was considering,
you may even be able to bargin a bit more once you finalize on the
model you want for sure..

If you pay one of those prices, you are getting a fine deal. I'm not saying
that you wont be able to find a lower price. What I'm saying is that you
should have no guilt paying those prices. But it will be worth it to call
the Internet sales departments of a few other dealers and see if they can
beat them.

I bought an Accord Coupe EX-L V6 6speed non Navi with no additional options
for $25,000 even last month. I bought it in the central Texas area. Edmunds
listed the TMV price as MSRP+Dest.& handling $26,960.

So when I didn't see one in the color I wanted on the lot of a new Honda
dealer that opened up here recently I offered $25K, figuring they 1)
wouldn't be able to obtain one and 2)could not sell one at that price. I
guess I could have asked for a thousand dollars less because they accepted
the price without a counter offer. That was Ok because I forced them into
matching the trade allowance offered by another dealer ( it was $1150 more
than their initial trade appraisal )

The end of December might be easier time to get deals as dealers are trying
to slash inventories.
