Had my Vti accord for 2 weeks now, and I think I pretty much got close to driveaway price consider it also includes tint, fog light, and reverse parking. The only thing I forgot to ask for is carpet matts which I ended up paying $150 for. It is important to decide on what options and acessories you want before bargain. They usually take you to another department after signing the contract for all the accessories and that where they try to get more $$ off you (esp the exterior and interior treatment for $800?!?!, in my opinion it makes no difference to the appearance of the car). Forgot to mention, you must ask for full tank petrol and have it on the contract (same goes with every other extras you asked). They frgot to have full tank for me on the day of delivery lucky I had it on the contract. We drove to fill it up and costs $70 to fill 3/4 of tank.Originally Posted by stephen8512
It really depends on who you talk to. I have been to 4 Honda dealers and you can really tell who wants your business and who doesnt. One dealer (30km from my home but I happen to be in the area that day) ask me if I can come back another day and they are not even busy!! (its Thursday afternoon, day before easter), and he was suppose to call me back but never happened. So I went to another dealer and got the deal on the very same day.
I guess it all depends how much stock they have left and whther they are reaching their monthly target. I havent seen a lot of New Accord on the road but appearantly the sales told me most of Accord he sold are V6 and there is a bit of waiting now for it. So I guess you can bargain harder for the Vti. Especially for the luxury version which in my opinion $6500 extra for leather trim/sunroof/extra air bags is a bit too much. Try $6000 or lower as you starting point.
Hope this helps and good luck
