2009 Honda Accord - good price?

[cami38]

Hi all,

I did my due diligence. I checked the CCC report, decided on a price $29800 all in and went into a dealer. I was actually eating dinner next to it so thought 'what the heck' and went in to talk to someone. I thought I got lucky because after I told the sales guy the above price he said it was fine as he would still be making $550. However when I told him that included the options (more than below) he said they would be extra. Hmmm, not so good.

So my question is.

After checking the report and taking the options off. I see at 3% over invoice the price should be $29020. Can I reasonably ask for this price with my options included? (bodyside mouldings and honda protection package), or do I have to add them in and offer that?

(I used the buyers offer spreadsheet to include freight etc. to get the all in price.) The CCC report was $26723.00 invoice price.

(Can you tell I have NEVER bought a brand new car :)

thanks for your help

Don't be afraid to go to different dealerships with your offer. Some are more flexible than others.

Exactly what the previous poster said. Especially if it's your first time buying a new car, don't be afraid to learn the game. Don't be afraid to go in with your offer. 3% above is definitely not unreasonable so don't let any salesperson make you think otherwise.

if you want to make things less complicated, just bargain the car alone to $29k flat. Then add the mouldings afterwards aftermarket or factor them in just before signing. good luck
