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.
 
I have found Edmunds to be right on the button for invoice pricing.
The last Accord we bought, a 2003 EX V-6 w/nav, was based on the
invoice price, and Edmunds was exactly right. We bought it through
fleet sales. Have the dealer show you the invoice.

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.

You're a moron. He's talking about the EX V6 manual, not the LX 4 auto. The
former is very rare, the latter is abundant.... guess which one the dealer is
more willing to deal. DUH.

There were two Accords with the trim level I wanted in all of Los Angeles.
That doesn't sound very abundant to me. Now, the six-speed may be rarer
than what I got, but that doesn't mean that he can't deal. Going through
fleet services or Internet services (usually the same people) can save
a lot of money in almost all situations; these guys often get paid by the
unit rather than a percentage comission. There is no reason not to do it
this way, considering that it also prevents you from having to play the
whole negotiating game when you go down to get the car.

As for your use of the word "moron", I have two comments:
1) I said that it worked for me, and then I said "YMMV".
2) By calling me a moron, unprovoked, regardless of whether or not you're
right, you've marked yourself as a jerk. Where I'm from, people
don't explode out of nowhere with insults. But I wouldn't expect you to
know anything about that, my anonymous friend.

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.

What da hell are u talking about? Doc fees in CA are capped by the government
and dealers can't charge more than $45.

He's obviously not a straight shooter if he's telling you that he'll only
charge $45, as a favor.

Thanks for the info, but I was not aware that the doc fees were
capped, but thanks for that info.. how about the price in the LA Area,
are these prices good or is there a better deal out here? Do you have
a better price if so, where and how much?

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.
