Didn't have time to shop around, and this may not be the best deal, but posting for a reference point.
Did use the $1200 dealer cash, not the special Honda financing.

710.00 Destination Fee
99.00 Processing Fee
499.00 Delivery Charges

Does this sound like a good deal? I am not sure if other people are putting down their out the door price or their price before fees.
Thanks in advance.
Then started my price research with Edmunds.com, Cars.com, and thecarconnection.com. I even purchased the Consumer Reports Price Report. Don't buy this report ($24) useless, got better estimates with this blog and thecarconnection.com Contacted around 6 dealers in my area and let the dealers fight for my business.
Got a price of $26,695 from Lodi Honda. No one else would beat it. OTD $29,493.
Sharp looking car. BTW don't fall for the extended warranty or "protection package". Got my wheel locks, splash guard and cargo net online for $170.
Hope this was helpful.
As the other poster said, it is like pure profit to the dealer (unless you are getting a car they don't have on the lot)
On February I paid 23150 for Accord EX-L (no nav, including destination). And only 149 processing fee, no other delivery charges or stuff like that.
Split Horizon, your deal looks excellent...I assume you did it in March.
Please reply.
Thank you everyone for the various reference points and comments.
traded 2001 Infiniti i30 with 142K miles, check engine light, minor body damage
said they gave me $2500 for the trade
0-0-0
$250/month
3yr/36k miles
Goodson Honda in north Houston.. good experience
seemed like a pretty fair deal, maybe could have gotten a little lower, I didn't push too hard.
March 31, 2010 to be exact.
Is this a good deal? With CA tax and license fee, the OTD will come to 21K I think.
Thanks a lot,
Ananth
$23,500 (Silver on Black incl Remote Start)
+ $1,855 (TTL)
= $25,355 (OTD)
What portion of the OTD price was TTL?
Bought it for $19,300 plus TTL. Thought it was a good deal...
According to dealers email 6.25% is for TTL and 300$ for registering fees. Around $1800 from the $24.7k is for TTL+fees.
These are the add-ons promised that are included in the price:
1) Paint and Fabric Warranty
2) Color Keyed Door Edge Molding
3) Honda Splash Guards
4) Honda Cargo Tray
5) Window Tint
6) Wheel Locks
7) Honda Pin Stripes
This is for a brand new car. Most of the dealers i spoke to could not even come close to this price. Actually one dealer came close but has different add-ons which includes some of the above.
Would you recommend pulling the trigger?
thanks,

Dealer extras of fabric &paint sealant, anti-theft ID, nitrogen in tires. No window tint by my request.
Happy with car and (so far) with dealer.
