98 Honda Accord; Truth or Dare?

Hi, I want to purchase a V6 Accord Coupe EX. This is a very nice car for comfort, resale, etc. I just left an Honda dealer that my car club, AutoVantage, recommended me to. AutoVantage recommended me to pay dealer invoice + $1800.00 for the car. The salesman offered me $23645 without no extra options, and he also stated that it would take a month and 1/2 to get my Black V6 in. This is about $110 more than what AutoVantage recommended, it seems like a decent price. But I still don't want to pay this much, in fact I want give $200 over invoice. I was hoping my $5000-$6000 down payment may stroke interest, I guess not. Maybe I made a mistake of mentioning AutoVantage. Because he went and checked how much the recommended paying. Would I be missing a good deal? Should I just step down to the V4? Or should I just go get that fully loaded, t-top, V6 Camaro that I have been longing for for so long. In fact, I can't easily beat the price of the Accord by purchasing a Camaro with this $1500 rebate and 1.9-5.7% financing they have going on, now. Now, I can wait and save a little more money and purchase the V6, but the dealer said they may not be any available in the next month or so. Is this a "truth or dare" scam? What do you think of all this? Gil

Seems a little steep. Figure the dealer is getting a 2 percent holdback right off the MSRP for starters, even if you pay dealer invoice. Kick in a couple hundred bucks over invoice to keep the salesman fed. $1800 over invoice??? Ouch! Is this car in short supply? I wouldn't think so, the Accord is the original belly button car. Maybe there is something I don't know...

When did Honda start making a v-4 car engine? I know they make v-4 motorcycle engines but this is a new one on me.!

I think that crossposting blows. Trips

> Now, I can wait and save a little more money and purchase the V6, but > the dealer said they may not be any available in the next month or so. > Is this a "truth or dare" scam? > What do you think of all this? If you can wait, wait. The dealer only wants you to buy the car, NOW. Don't. He might say the special deal won't last long. If you can wait, let it slip. Who knows maybe next month's special deal is sweeter. Car deals can only become sweeter as the car ages away from its initial introduction. Now is not the best time to buy a new 98 Accord, if you are looking for good deals.

The accord V6 is in high demand, I believe(read about it in the chicago Tribune). That being said, we did manage to buy an Accord V6 LX for my grandmother for a little less than 1800 over invoice (maybe 1000-1500 over). The 4-cyl is not in such high demand though and you could probably get it for closer to invoice..

Opt for the v8 too! You'll be happier along the way and even happier at trade in time.

Thanks GO SUV, When is the best time to purchase an Accord EX V6 Coupe? ... if you have an idea when? Then only thing is my car is doing fairly well. I hate for it to overheat in this hot West Palm Beach, FL this summer. I sort of figure this guy was trying to get me to buy now. In fact, he told me expect a call from him on tommorrow. Another slash in the price I hope. $1800 over dealer invoice sounds steep to me, too. He claim they have no hidden rebates or incentives because it devaluates the car ... an Honda policy. (hmmm!) Maybe, I need to waive that $5000 - 6000 down payment in his face a little more. But I still want buy 'til the end of May or June, though. Gil

and here I thought that someone had come up with a new update for TOCA. tsk, tsk

it should be cheap in September or April after the snow season

> When is the best time to purchase an Accord EX V6 Coupe? ... if you have > an idea when? Then only thing is my car is doing fairly well. I hate > for it to overheat in this hot West Palm Beach, FL this summer. When supply roughly matches demand of the car. Right now it is a hot seller, and the dealers could sell every single one of them they ordered, without one sitting on the lot waiting for potential buyers. The dealers could do anything they want to get the most $$$ out of every buyer. They can even tell you to leave if you are not interested in paying full MSRP. After the heat cools off, and the dealers start to have cars sitting and collecting dust on the lot, it is a good time to bargain. I have no idea of how long this time will come. Just check out your local dealers regularly.

I got my 98 Accord Coupe EX V6 (Black Currant Perl) last month for $23000 total dirve out price including mud guards, mats and pinstripes. From what I can tell they are not in short supply here in central Georgia. MS

Dealers, employees, etc. get the cars at invoice - cost. Retail - what you or I would pay for them at the dealership - is with the mark-up.

the best time to buy is in August or January and February and the last day of the month about 1 hr before closing time.This puts the pressure on them to deal because these are slow months and the last day of the month is all they have to meet the manufacturers` quota.

I recently bought a V6 Accord Coupe EX in White...and I went through EXACTLY the same dealer hoopla that you are going through. Basically, there is a shortage on the V6's in the coupe. The first few dealers I went to visit told me 4-8 weeks for delivery..if at all. I drove a hundred miles to another, larger dealer and they had 3 on the lot and claimed they could get any one that I wished in 2days to 2 weeks. I think it all depends upon the dealer you visit. I spoke with Honda of America to let them know of the problems I was facing when trying to buy one, and they attributed the problem to sheer shortage of the V6. They reassured me that I would see delivery pick up in the coming months as they are converting a Honda plant in Japan into a V6 assembly plant. As for price, it definitely is the case that a dealer should give you a better deal on a car that he hasn't had a hold of for too long. This would definitely apply to having to order a V6. Keep on them....if they want to sell it bad enough, they will deal. If not, go elsewhere. If you want, I will tell you where I bought it... Good luck! Chris

Hell if I had waited 1 more week to buy my car (July 24) I could have gotten free oil changes for a year. January/February: Sales are slow in winter months. Most people are paying of Christmas bills and are not in the mood to buy cars. For certain cars that are class leaders (i.e. Taurus, Camry, Accord), manufacturers may try to boost sales in late December to shore up sales figures for the calendar year and make claims like: Camry #1 car in America for '97, etc... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Every man has his price" |Nabeel Ali | --The 98th Rule of Acquisition |http://alcor.concordia.ca/~stali --------------------------------------------------------------------

I don`t know where you live so I can`t speak for popular custom in your area.But up here most people go on holidays in August so dealers are not selling any cars ,so their incentive to deal is greater.Up here January and February are the coldest, meanest months of the year, and the last thing on anyones` mind is to go out in the snow and cold to check out new cars,and ,as well, everyone has spent all their money at x-mas so sales are pretty slow at this time of year.More incentive for dealers to cut a deal.
