I'm amazed at your price for the Luxury. That seems a fantastic price. Well done.Quote:

I love everything about it. Next time I'll go for the Luxury, but can't see myself ever swaying from a Honda. Fords and Holdens are so tinny.
We almost bought a Mazda 6 Lux sport, but all the Mazda dealers were painful to deal with and they weren't keen to give us a changeover of $35k which was our baseline. They suggested that we would have to pay even more for the Honda.....LOL, gotta love rubbing Honda's $34.5k changeover in their faces :D
I'm so glad we got the Honda in the end, much nicer car and resale will be much better.

Hiya Hipsi, Great price for your Euro...well done. That price is unheard of....
I bought mine for $44,500 including mats, bonnet protector, slimline visors, bumper protectors,bootlip protector, mudflaps....
Tell me Euro owners...I will be taking possession of mine next week..I want to get body moulding for the doors--protect the doors from car park idiots...who can recommend any place I can get them that looks good?
I have also had such varied responses to Car Insurance from $940+ right down to about $460...Western QBE seems the best so far $640 with the first 4 years total car replacement. Does anyone have any better suggestions?
I appreciate any help. Thanx Guys
I pick mine up tomorrow, WOOHOO! then on Sat its off to get tint, 18's and lowered. I got a quote from Suncorp (we have our home and contents with them so get a discount) that came to something like $670 with the wheels and suspension. That included 2 year new car replacement. Allianz was the best I could find, about mid $500s. But they won't insure a lowered car.
BTW, did you get the QBE quote online or over the phone? I can't seem to find an online quote system anywhere for QBE.
Hiya hipsi,
This Western QBE quote was over the phone and given my partculars 60% no claim etc etc...what I am liking about is the 4 year replacement, Honda's was 3 years, Alliance was 12 months...something I think is worth considering perhaps
hey Hipsi,
I will try out Suncorp insurance. Does you policy have car contents insurance--like say your car is stolen and you had some sporting equipment or clothes etc in the car for example??
Which dealer are you getting your car from by the way?
Also, what are doing about body moulding for your car doors? Are you getting them installed? If so where and how much?
I'll have to check the PDS for the contents, couldn't tell you off the top of my head. The car came from Bayside Honda (Cleveland, Brisbane).
Body mouldings? no thanks.....not for me.
Yes does any one know of anyone in Brisbane who does the body moulding for the doors and how much ?Quote:

I went to westside honda in hoppers crossing! very good service! & i was very happy with the price.
Thats a killer price!! btw, i would not trust them with the book they show you. Normally thats the bare minimum the sales person can sell it to you... but there are still lots of $$ to be made by the dealership and Honda even at those prices!Quote:

Thanks for all the info guys! :)
I just picked up my Euro-L earlier this week from Ferntree Gully Honda. Took 5 weeks but it was worth the wait. The purchase price:
Euro-L Graphite Auto
Tint - lifetime warranty
Mats
Boot Spoiler (yeah I know some of you thinks it's ugly, but it's going to help my missus with the parking) - Aftermarket
5 year Warranty
Roadside Assistance
Stamp Duty
Rego with Slimline Plates
Third Party Insurance - not required...drive away for $42,500.
Wasn't prepared to pay the price for the bodykit but the price I got quoted for the full kit (front, sides, rear skirt and rear spoiler) was around $2,200-$2,300.
Very happy with the car, since we almost went for a XT Forester or GT Liberty.
Insurance wise, went with AAMI, full comp with lifetime rating 1 @ $707 p.a.
Hope that helps! :)
Went to Honda this afternoon and looking for a 05 Euro Lux and the dealer try to offer me $46800 and couldn't give any discount which is more than $1000 :o
May try another dealer next week to see if i have any luck, or i rather just get a BMW.
Not bad, pretty much the same stuff as me but I got the manual for $2k less.
You did better with the extra Honda warranty tho.
Did it take you long to get to that price?

Try Northside Honda, one of our member here (Albii) got a std, silver manual for only $33500 on raod with Bonnet protector and floor mat and Honda bear as gift.
Don't forget to check Accord section regularly, we may have another Brisbane Euro meet/cruise soon..
I've been into the dealer a couple of time to get the brochures as I was deciding between the V6 or Euro. Took the missus during the one day sale, test drove the Euro and started negotiating. Probably all up, spent 2-3 hours there looking at colours, trims etc.Quote:

But I think if the dealer has the stock available, they generally try harder to sell the vehicles.
Just booked one today.. It's a graphite Euro Auto for $36300 driveaway. Should be ready to be picked up next week or so.
Other extras included:
Tow bar
Reverse sensor
Roof rack
Mat
Front & rear mud guard
Now can't wait till next week.. :-)
true what you say about dealer stock...mine was in stock and i got it for $33500 with mats tint and bonnet protector.Quote:

anyway, where is Northside Honda? Do you think i should sell my renault in Northside Renault and take the cash to chat with Honda? or i just bring the renault and ask Honda to trade?
i pay 39200 drive aways...but is 1 year ago...sounds not bad for it...
This is a great read indeed! Some intersting deals, some lots of profit to dealer deals and some awsome deals!
Just remember everytime i get asked how much is a Euro i give the full RRP! i never give my best price over the phone and i only will if the customer comes in! Then i will do everything i can to get the best price i can....
If any of u need help with pricing let me know, even if ur interstate! Ive helped a few of u get a good idea on good prices and ive even sold a few of u cars too!
Good luck
James.
I got my BLK STD EURO MT 05 for $33000 drive away when Honda were having that one day sale. That was from Rockdale Honda NSW. Very happy with my purchase. My local dealer at Larke Hoskins Roseberry NSW was a complete a$$!
It started like this, my g/f and I test drove a Liberty 2.5 and we loved it but I promised my mate that I would test drive a Euro coz he said I would be sold on the vtec. I value my mates opinion plus the fact that I know stuff all about cars, engines blah blah so I went to Roseberry Honda. I went in and had a look around then waited for some service for approx 5mins (Which seemed more like 20mins for some reason) I had a couple of salesman that I knew where free look at us then glance away so we ended up going to the receptionist to ask to see somone. She looked angry that we interupted her phone conversation but she called one of the salesman that seemed to be ignoring us. So he comes over and by this time I'm a little pissed off but I keep my cool and try to sympathise that he may just be busy as it's a big sales day. So not wanting to waste his time I straight up tell him that I have the money to buy the euro on the spot and that all I want is a test drive. The salesman tells me "Sorry but you have to take the car as is". WTF?! I'm kinda left a bit stunned & confused at what he said so I thank him for his time and walk out muttering nasty words at him under my breath. So after Roseberry Honda completely wasted my time I pretty much turned my back on Honda in general and made my way back to the dealership where the Subaru was to go and buy it. While making my way there I was thinking all kinds of crazy stuff like doing burnouts in front of the Honda dealership once I picked up the Sub hahaha crazy I know but that's how angry it made me. As fate would have it and also my luck for that matter by the time I got back to the Subaru dealership...yeah that's right, it had been sold. All this in the space of an hour. So now I'm totally pissed and ready to make a formal complaint to Honda. Anyways after a substantial amount of time to cool down and about 10 phone calls of reassurance from my mate telling me not to give up on the Euro, my mate tells my that at the very least I still have to take a Euro for a test drive. Luckily the next day the Honda sale was still on so I went over to Rockdale Honda, spoke to a great guy called Matt, he took me for a lengthy test drive and the rest is history. I'm very happy with the Euro purchase even after the whole experience.
I'm not much of a bargining man but I tired to get the price even lower than 33K drive away. Thinking back on it if I played my cards right I reckon that I could've got the fogs chucked in for free or something similar. The salemans was great but then again I guess anyone is great compared to that salesman at Larke Hoskin Roseberry. I ended up getting mats, full tank plus extended warranty and road side assistance. Also thinking back I wish that I kicked up a stink at Roseberry but then again wishing is for suckers.
Anyways hope this helps.
Good read there....i love reading feed back like that! Its good to learn more and see things from the customers point of view....salesman like that make me so angry as they give the good ones a bad name!
I dont care if my customers rock up with thongs on and ripped shirt driving a datsun 120y, the all get the same quality service and respect! I treat them like they have $500,000k to spend! even if its just on a jazz too!
remixed02:
$33000 with Free mats, 5yr extended warranty + Fuel.. what a super bargain... one of the best Euro deal! Good on ya mate!
James: I wish I had read this thread before I bought my Euro. But we'll come and see you when we upgrade our CRV! Maybe to a newer model or an MDX! :wave:Quote:

-Boot lip protector

My friend just signed a MY06 Euro Lux Auto RED yesterday at Southside Honda Brisbane, with floor mats, tints, skirts all around (no boot spoiler).. for $45000. Not the best deal around, as last time he bought a car was 11 years ago.
I paid $34,000 for std man on road including, mats, headlamp protectors & darkest street legal tint.
I worry that we paid too much...
In June last year (2005) we got a new Euro Lux Auto in Graphite, with Spoiler, Genuine towbar, Tints and Mats for $44 200. No trade in, non-stock item.
Impulse buy though.
I was wondering what is a good/appropriate price to pay for the following:
2006 Accord Euro Luxury
- Manual
- Sat Nav
- Parking Sensors
- Tinted Windows
- Mats
Pre discounting/negotiations I was quoted around $50.6K
u will be able to get it well under 50k....i cant spill the beans though! :D
We have one on our showroom floor....
OHHHH our new civic just got driven off the truck how good....
lol good luck with ur purchase....if ur in melb PM me :D
50.6k is more like drive away for auto lux with sat nav..Quote:

PM me if u wanna know the $
but dun think there will be any 5 yrs warranty promotion anymore
Promotion or not , its up to dealers discretion if they want to sweeten the deal or not. doesn't have to be a promotion to offer 5 years extended warranty, they can offer it anytime.Quote:

I was in the same situation as Slugoid - got my Euro very early on back in Sept 03 - there was a shortage of Euro's when they first came out so I guess dealers have the upper hand there. Either you wait for at least 2 months or in my case there was a 5AT Black Euro Lux on the way for $47k onroad so I just had to snag that one!!!!

When I service my car at Courtney and Patterson in Melb, I read somewhere that if you bought the car and service it in Courtney and Patterson, you get extended warranty.Quote:

If you don't take up the offer at the start when you car is about to run out of factory warranty you could extended it and pay the money or bargin with them on price.
My pervious question to Type G was it does not have be a promotion for them to offer you extended warranty, you bargining skills can also get you good deals including free extended warranty.
well at least i understood it...
and its $795 not $300 for the extended warranty.

Everytime we get the extended warranty, and we usually only get this during the 3rd year, we ask for around $100-150 discount :)
We can offer a courtney & Patterson extended warranty but this is NOT the Honda extended warranty with road side assist!Quote:

Its very good and we dont charge for it :D
Thats why our service dept is ranked number 1 in Vic :D
well... there are two types of extended warrenty.. i remembered once that eastern honda was promoting similar thing and when i enquired they said under any circumstances u have to have ur car services at their service deaprtment or other wise the warrenty will be void...
so i guess there's a HONDA extended warrenty and DEALER extended warrenty
You can get extended warranty which covers everything the factory covers for about $1000 from insurance company. But you will need to get it through the dealer. The good thing is that you can decide if you want to pay the extra before the orginal 3 years factory varranty expires.
yeap, and too add, the dealer extended warranty is typically very restrictive, you need to have your car serviced at their workshops, and not others, once any other workshops touch your car, they can void the entire warranty. just imagine, if you were to drive from Melbourne to sydney, and need your car serviced at sydney due to some problems, good luck to your dealer extended warranty..Quote:

you could get a brand new 06 model standard for around 36kQuote:

My ticket price was $38.3K without any haggling. That was for an '05 Std Auto & with haggling I got a few more hundred off the price, a full tank of fuel (worth about $70 these days) and a free loan cars from the sales dept each service. Since they are sales dept cars I get demo Intrega's and such if/when available.
I bought at the wrong time though as I needed a new car asap and they had the exact car I wanted in stock ready to go. I bought start to middle of month, between year ends and with plenty of stock available so not ready ideal buying conditions.
HOORAY!!!!
i finally got my euro...well, sort of, i have to wait for delivery...
walked away with a good deal today though...i don't think u guys are being persistent enough, u have to show them u're interested, but also show u're not gonna put up with their bullshit...
i got my 06 standard manual for $32,500 driveaway! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
been looking at the 06 euro's for a month now, letting them know of my presence...i know how exciting it is goin to buy a new car, but i think with patience u can get a good deal! lol...
but yeh...they said 4-6weeks till it comes...they don't have any graphite manual euros here atm, only a black one which i didn't want...
how long did it take to arrive for you guys?
I paid $35k for euro standard auto with metallic paint (coz mine is silver).
When I paid the deposit for my car, the dealer said that it will be 2-3 weeks. after 2-3 weeks of anxious wait, they said i have to wait for another 2-3 weeks, which at the time quite pi$sed me off, but it was still acceptable. after another 2-3 weeks, i called the dealer again, they said they still dont know when i can get my car because the car just arrived in australia, and still at the holding yard. when i heard the dealer said that, i went completely berserk. i scold the sales person the one that i dealt with, and to the guys in honda australia. the next day, the car arrives in the dealer, and the day after that the car is ready to be picked up :)

There is no way that in the 21st Century with everything computerised fully, where exactly the car is at any moment, plus or minus may be a week max I would imagine. Not like 2-3 weeks a couple of times :(
I paid $36.5k for an 05 Euro Std Manual with sunroof, front fog lights, free hire car & tinted windows, and my personalized plates transferred.
Without all the extras it was around $33.1k driveaway.
Hi,
I bought my Euro Luxury for $49,900.
It included:
Satellite Navigation, rear parking sensors, tinted windows, paint protection, leather protection, spoiler and mats.
How did I fare?
Regards,
Paul
On the international motorshow, i went to the honda stand. i asked the price of honda luxury with sat nav. the guy that i spoke to was from honda australia, and he said that i can get it for something around $45k or less drive away with no option. but i forgot to ask whether it is manual or autoQuote:

i got mine without mats or tints though...
btw, just out of curiosity, those who bought in NSW....if u got those premium plates (the thin white number plates), how does it fit on the front bumper?
i mean, they fixed the oversized number plate holder on the 2005 models, but i saw an 06 one at the dealer with the white number plate, but the number plate holder was bigger (the size of the yellow number plates - that is, it fits the yellow plates perfectly, but the white ones are thinner so yeh)...
so i was just wondering if we get a smaller number plate holder if we got the white number plates? or if it's possible to change the number plate holder - eg. with the clear plastic holders that we can get at repco...
who did u get it from?Quote:

Hi
I'm looking to buy a new Accord Euro Luxury w/mats, rear spoiler and 5yr warranty EITHER with or withour SATNAV. How much do you think I should be paying in today's market (driveaway)?
Also, I'm based in Sydney. Any dealers anyone can recommend?
most likely somwhere between 43-45k , as the base automatic driveaway is 39 driveaway..i know a good friend of mine who can do you a good deal let me know how serious you are in buying and i'l have him call you or you can go visit him..
Wohoo.. you serious? I'll PM you.. :thumbsup:Quote:

hi, do u think is worth it for the euro limited edition for 39000
If it is the auto, then yeah. If it is the manual, then I guess it is alright as well as the RRP is already $37,500. Ask for all the mats, tints, boot protectors and extras to be thrown in for that $39,000. Then it'll be ok.Quote:
