2008 Accord VTi Luxury....price?

**VTECH** · 29-05-2008 02:04 PM

bbk, I heard there was some 2007 build dates (not compliance) floating around, maybe it was one of those? I am trying to negotiate using American Express so it a bit harder as the dealer has to wear the commission which equates to about $1500. I am hoping nearing the end of the financial year they will get a bit more hungry for the business. If I can get them to drop the dealer delivery and pay the commission I would be very happy.

I see no reason why you can't.

As you can see I got my VTi Lux at RRP and alexp has got one with rear sensors even below the RRP.

To be honest, I'm not a good negotiator at all and I didn't try very hard. Being uninformed, I was aiming for $38.5K when they made me an offer of $36.5K which I obviously thought was as good as it could get and thus didn't push any further. As you can see, it turns out that I was not quite right!

Based on what I've seen in this forum and personal experience, dropping all on road costs is the very least that you should be aiming for.

I have 2008 Accord VTi but managed to to drive it away at a price of $30,500when the sale (drive-away) price for the 2007 model was $29,990.

That's not all ... managed to get these things included.

1. Rear parking sensor (good quality one)
2. Motorola blue-tooth
3. Tailored floor mat
4. Fully tinted (solartint)
5. Mud flaps
6. Premium plate
7. Full tank of fuel

I've just come to know that dealers in your area are able to give you a better deal, however, some dealers are a bit dodgy and may show you something and install another. Replacing good quality tyres with cheaper ones saves the dealer money. Get to know the basic specs of the vehicle before even picking up the phone or visiting the dealer.

Overall, its a lovely car to drive.

Cheers,

Neil

Thanks mate. I assume your V6 is the same colour as mine - polished metal. Looks good.

What do you mean by good quality one?

There are just beepers which let you know how close you are to an object and then there are ones that give you the distance on a digital meter. You also need to look at the range it covers. Mine covers an area as wide as 2.o mtrs.
