How much did you pay for you Accord Euro (Driveaway)?

I just paid the deposit for my Honda Euro Lux Man for $44500 luxury and also trade in my Mitsubishi lancer GLXI Coupe 1998 for $6000 (market price) with 2 dents on the side and rear bumper which maybe cost me a few hundreds to fix it.
Since today is their sale day i got 5 Years warranty &road side assisstance plus:
Tinting, Paint Protection, Mats, Full tank Petrol, metalic paint, 12 month rego.

Not sure if it's a good price.. but i have paid for it ....
I got it from Burswood Honda in Perth

Well i also took the sale offer for the accessories such as Leather protection for $220 and $540 for remote sensor

went to narellan honda today, was looking at trading mum's 98mod civic vti with 145,000kms on it..

graphite auto euro luxury (without sat nav) as is, no extras, $45,500...

and then he comes to me and offers me $6,000 for the civic.. what a joke! :thumbdwn:

Euro sport auto which came with 5 yr warranty plus;

Reverse sensors
Front and rear floor mats
Headlight and bonnet protectors
Rear spoiler
Front and rear weather shields
MP3 player
Tint
Full tank of petrol

$43k drive away.

Picked up my Accord Euro Sport Auto with aftermarket sunrooof ($2000) and floor mats.

$41,500 drive-away (so without the sunroof that's $39,500 drive-away). Included 2 year extended warranty (total 5 yrs), and the usual full tank of petrol and free loan car with every service. Personally I was very happy with that deal, especially since it included 2 bottles of wine!

Within Sydney, what would be the best Honda Dealer??

When I ask this, I mean in regards to great deals and stuff :thumbsup:


cheers guys

I went to 3 Brisbane dealers around town, and most of them are out of Euro Sports... :( :(

Can anyone tell me, which qld dealers still have euro sports available??

No idea which is the best, but I can quote my experience with Rick Damelien. After the test drive and deciding what colour I wanted, the salesperson sat down with me at his computer, pulling up the list of cars that Honda Australia had in the holding yard and also those coming in within a few months. So he filtered out the colour I wanted, base model and manual transmission and told me that I could get my car within 2 weeks. Of course, I had some other commitments then, so I told him that I wanted delivery in 1.5 months. No problem he said and I got my car and all that on time, detailed (no swirls) all ready to go. He sat with me and showed me every user feature in the car, including the little stuff and advice on it (such as the rear boot release switch) and rear seat release straps. He basically explained everything in the cabin, doors, alarm, power window features, and in the engine bay, where to fill water and how to check the engine oil level. So he gave me a full overview of the car so I didn't have to RTFM just to use it!

The price back in August 2004 was $34000 on the road with mats, mudflaps and petrol (95 oct).

wow! aaron, i had a test drive last saturday at ricky dees, i'm going back this saturday to workout a deal :D

i hope i get a good salesman that is keen on helping me out, rather than thinking he can rip me off lol!

The guy whom I bought from was Greg Fawcett. A nice guy and he was not condescending at all eventhough I looked young and wore just a T-shirt and pants to the dealer. Told him what I was looking for and that if the price was good, I would sign on the day. Once they know you are serious, they will be more willing to negotiate. I remember I saw a demo model Euro on the floor selling for $34500 (in otherwords, $2000 off the OTR price that was displayed on new models). I asked him what good deals there were, and he pointed out that car. I told him, I want a new car (LOL) and he said that yes, the new car experience is very nice. Start low and then they will feel like they have gained some ground on you after you go 1k above your starting price (I offered $33000 at first). In the end I got it for $34000 with the above accessories. I recommend you get the boot tray thrown in. I wanted to buy it after a year and found out that it costs $170!

Be only interested in the final price you pay. They will add up all the RRP of the accessories and on-road costs to show you how much they are losing. But don't worry about that. You are there for your price, not theirs.

Above all, if you are not able to get the price you want, always be prepared to walk away. My price limit that I set was $34500 OTR.
