How much did you paid for your 2009/2010 Accord Euro

Question is what price should I expect to get it for? I'm taking a demo for a second run this weekend and expect to negotiate when I get back. I plan on only two accessories, accent lighting and towbar. I read on the forum that supplies are low from Japan and am I right that MY12 starts for new builds this month (June)? Although its new the car is almost old already. Out of interest, should finance or cash make any difference? Any advice welcome, I don't want to pay too much.

I have accent lighting as part of a whole set of accessories someone bought before me (I bought 2nd-hand). I definitely wouldn't pay for accent lighting - it is just not that hot in reality! As for discounts for 2010, the sky is the limit! Major new model about to be released. Car is already 6-months old so treat it like a 6-month old 2nd-hand car! i.e. at least 15% off as FINAL negotiated price. I'd be tempted to say "here's your $2000 deposit. No negotiations. Price is $36,500 with a tow-bar, accent lighting, tinted windows, i-pod connection, bluetooth, a 5-year factory warranty, (plus the first year's Honda Insurance without your commission!). Take it or leave it. And then SHUT UP and let them squirm for hours, trying to ratchet up the price or squeeze down the accessories. No matter what they say, that is your price, finally allowing yourself to be squeezed to $37,500 or $38,000. Turn up at 2pm and make sure you still have not budged by more than $500 and an accessory or two when it is just about nightfall. Until you have rejected the SALES MANAGER's first plea, negotiations have not really started. By the time you sign, it will be this salesman's only commission for the day and he will be desperate. As far as cash or finance, keep them guessing. Let them know you can pay cash, but you are considering finance either through them or elsewhere. If you are considering finance, make sure you have deals discussed and available through a finance broker AND a bank if possible, with TOTAL payout over the life of say a $38000 loan fixed in your head. Likewise have a couple of reputable quotes for insurance. Honda Insurance is GIO with a couple of neat extras - about 5% more expensive than GIO, but 20% of that price is commission.

Once they've taken your deposit, they'll send out the sexy busty blond to show you their paint protection and lot of other expensive add-ons. It's OK to look it her **** when you talk to her - that's why they are there! Paint protection is NOT useless if you park outside with birds or bats regularly dropping their presents on you. I can't think of any other situation where it is useful. Their markup is way over 50% so keep that in mind.

If you're in Sydney and you get your ultra-bargain, you can shout me a beer some time.

Cheers
Warren

Good luck,as we all know the Euro is AWESOME,and I hope you buy one and get a good deal.

What colour are you thinking,and where are you located ???

Are those D/A pricing?
It should be around that prices with no accessories at all.

Those prices are NOT drive away,I have just checked on the Honda website,so add about 10 percent extra to get the DEIVE AWAY prices.

But the prices are VERY good,but the resale on my 1 year old Euro has probably taken a knock.

Honda need the DIESEL and WAGON,NOT constant price reductions...

Thanks all for the fast responses. Given today's 2K price drop, 2010 plates and a new model on its way I think I'll do ok tomorrow. I'll post back tomorrow night. Thanks again.

There will be little room to negotiate on price now IMHO ???

There is just as much room as before!!!

Even more so I reckon, since they had to get rid of the runout stock before they introduce the facelift.

Base model manual Euro is now under $30k base price..... sign of the times.
Considering the price of (Premium) petrol... and the fact CU2 hits 10L/100k or more in city driving....

For those interested we did not reach the negotiation stage because there were a few unexpected developments. The price of the vehicle on Tuesday did not further reduce following Friday's announcement by Honda and I expected that it would have, in fact the price increased by a few dollars to meet the new Australian recommended retail so the original reduction in price due to it being a 2010 build was gone. There may be further developments tomorrow and I'll post the outcome. I do not wish to identify the dealer.

I've been looking at CL9's, but have seen a few CU9's that aren't that much more.

Two cars I'm looking at are both 2008 model, ~60,000 km's and manual. One base model, one luxury. What do you think is a reasonable price? They are advertised for $24k and $25k respectively. I was thinking $20k and $22k respectively. Thoughts?

I've had a bit of a search around and apart from the pinging, is there much to look out for?

I assume both the 2008 models are CL9 s.
Check them out,they are basically bullet proof,and let us know what your thoughts are...

CU9 - fairly sharply priced. I went and drove them yesterday, quite a lot nicer as a cruiser than the CL9 I thought. Manual gearbox was actually brilliant (I didn't have high expectations).

You mean CU2 and CL9 right?

Definitely get the CU2 if there's only a 1k difference between the two.

Sorry mate, yep - CU2! Not some CU2 / CL9 hybrid :)

Both are CU2. I was looking at CL9's in the high teen's / low 20's, but it seems the CU2's are now mid 20's and they seem a bit better value. I like the Luxury version but I HATED the poor quality leather on the CL9 - all of those I looked at were worn quite badly, but the CU2 leather seems to hold up a lot better.

22K for a Lux is good. Get that over the base model, manual is quite hard to find in the luxury variant as well.

For a CU2,those asking prices are radicilously LOW,GO FOR IT.

Usually when cars are selling below Red Book Value it is for a reason, ask yourself if there is a serious accident history or flood damage. When something sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Of course - but when buying from a dealer if they have the car on the lot for a while they are usually keen to move it. I understand their stock is leased so there is a cost involved in it sitting there. None the less I think my lowball offer might be a bit too low...

I got my CU2 for a similar price, lady wanted a German car instead and let it go for less than she owed on it.

Less then owed hope she paid it and no security on this car if not it can be reposesd

Who would buy a used vehicle without making sure that the encumbrance is cleared on it. D:

Don't people do REVS.

I think a lot of people dont even know what REVS is...

A car can still have a serious accident without showing up on Revs. Don't forget the floods in the eastern states this year, the cars can be repaired but they r never the same

Sounds like lots of shonky cars on the East coast... Floods, hail, bushfires, the occasional earthquake... Wow. I'd rather the occasional cyclone.

I guess some people don't actually report the accident and just get it fixed up themselves. I think I saw a M3 BMW on car sales that was a write off but the owner said it wasn't in the write off registry and it still had rego and stuff lol?

thats not good. just a question.. so if an accident happen and claimed from insurance company to fix the accident will that be in the RECS history? FOr example small changes such as bumper change claim from insurance...

In Victoria,only written off cars are put onto the register.

Found a 7k mazda 2 that's green, looks great and everything but on the vicroad website said it was a repairable write off.

Simple just do the check on it :) and everything will be fine LOL

Hey guys second post ever lol. Was looking at getting a Euro last year and now I am ready to go. Not sure if I want the standard (so cheap) or luxury (all the extras :D) in AUTO. Just wondering what price we should be aiming for at the moment?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS should I start a new thread for the new model?? And what does the 2011 (my12) offer over the 2010 (my11) if anything??

If you want a Euro,you better act quickly,as the current special is on until the end of this month,and prices are amazing...

Thanks Antony. Is there any mark in particular I should be aiming for in automatic for standard or luxury??

Keep haggling, try for 30k for standard, since the car will be MY11 stock (ie: there's already a years worth of depreciation on it).

i reckon you can get 35-36k lux auto if you haggle hard enough

29-33k max for standard, i got my cu2 in March for about 33.5 :)

It will be a 2011 my 12. Is 35-36 possible on a new luxury model??

Where are you located ?

I have a good contact in Melbourne...

My12 doesn't affect the price, its the build date that affects it :)

Hey mate thanks for the offer but I'm in Sydney. If I was to order it
In January would it be a 2012 model?? Would it cost much more than the current model?? Thanks for the input guys it's much appreciated :D

The current Euro is allready a MY12,the only diffirence is it would be registerted in 2012 if you bought it in January.

Why dont you go to your local dealership,and ask all the relevant questions,as well as look at the car and drive one........

Buy now, Register/pickup after new years.

I have looked at the car and driven it, thank you. I have decided on the Luxury Auto (Premium White :D). The dealer suggested the same thing to me ,fredoops, to place the order now and pick it up/register in January. Is there any reason in particular to do this over not getting it done straight away?? Has anyone managed to get around 37k driveaway or better for the Lux Auto??

Decent deal, see if they are willing to throw in any accessories tho

As the registering, the only reason I'd wait till after new years is the fact it's a pain in the ass renewing the rego in the holiday period....

got a deal today from garry warren smith $39097 drive away inc metallic paint, mat,door sill garnish set and sports pedals with extended warranty

Bay City Honda, Nissan, Kia ..... a multi franchise dealer. I have never seen it on the lot as apparently the Dealer Priciple's wife drives it.

It was a great car,and you obviously looked after it very well....

To be honest I haven't seen the car for 3 months, so how the finish has stood up to 3 months of dealer washes I don't know. What I will say is that it had been fully detailed prior to trade & looked so good all the office staff went over it & commented that the paint looked better than my new one. Nothing a few days work could not rectify.

I will add that the price they are asking is not a great deal more than the price i was given for a trade.

No difference really it will just be considered 1 year older in the long run because it is 2011 first compliance. They always try to get rid of last year's stock hence offer great discounts like that. Don't you watch the Holden ads on TV :)

ALL dealers can do that! not just one. would be cheaper if i shop around in Vic area. they don't have any sales now! The new jazz vibe is a good choice cos it's made in Japan not thailand
