Buying 2005 Honda Accord EX V6 Sedan - Invoice price good?

I bought a 2004 Honda Accord EX-V6 last May for $800 UNDER invoice.
Granted, it was somewhat later in the model year than your planned
purchase, but the message is clear. Honda manufacturers ALOT of
Accords, and dealers do not need to get a great deal of profit per
car in order to make a good return on investment. The price that
dealers really pay for the car is not the invoice price, although that
is a good point of departure.

I suggest you get some quotes from internet capable dealers.
Edmunds.com is a good place to start. I am guessing that you can
do hundreds of dollars better.

How did you convince the salesman that he doesn't need to make any money on
the car? $800 under invoice would eat up most if not all of the holdback
money.

That price doesn't seem bad at all and I am a bargain shopper..

I would also check the price on carsdirect.com

The dealer is entitled to make some profit. The amount of profit is up to
you in a way. Even with the kickback they are not ripping you off.

Honda Accord's used to go for near msrp in the '80s right? I seem to
remember they were hot right around the time before they starting
manufacturing them in Marysville(?) Sounds like the guy got a reasonable
good deal on his EX if that's the car he wants. The '05's look kinda flimsy
though. Someone in the neighborhood has one and I don't think I'd plunk
down that kind of money for the car.

it?
