Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 20052005 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6 Demo Price?
The dealer wants has a Graphite 2005 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6 dealer demo car with 5300 miles on it. It has a rear spoiler, mud guards, cargo tray, all-season mats. They have also quoted the same new car at $24,500 w/ spoiler. My questions are: What is a fair demo price? Any watchouts buying a demo car? Is the new car price good? Thanks The new car quote is reasonable, although you can most likely negotiate that down several hundred. The demo is "new" in that it has not been titled. It is very used, in that it has been driven around town by people who abused it at least to some extent. By several hundred people. All it took was one jerk, think about it. The dealer will not drop the price down to a reasonable level, IMO. They know that someone will go for it with just a minimal amount off. A fair price is $3,000 or 4,000 U.S. off, but I'm betting you won't get that deal. > The dealer wants has a Graphite 2005 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6 dealer > demo car with 5300 miles on it.

Now that I think of it, the many rental cars I have driven can look pretty rough after 5000 miles. :-) Yes... that's the problem with demos... the driver hasn't been babying it much. Professor www.telstar-electronics.com Matter of fact, now that I think about it, my current wife (ha!) bought a demo '90 Integra with 5000 miles on it before we got together. She had to have both half-shafts replaced by 18,000 miles (at least it was in warranty). Mechanic said the only way that happened was, someone took the steering all the way to lock, and dropped the clutch at high rpm. Many times. > What is a fair demo price? invoice? and subtract 3% holdback from the MSRP, too. That seems too high. I counter-offered $24,100 -$400 less than what he quoted- for the new Accord. The salesman was agitated saying 'I guess you don't want us to make any money' on this deal....No Thanks. So, we got up and left. > That seems too high.

Can be quite effective. >>That seems too high. I counter-offered $24,100 -$400 less than what he >>quoted- for the new Accord.

This was for the new car NOT the demo. >>> That seems too high. I counter-offered $24,100 -$400 less than what he >>> quoted- for the new Accord.

Plus a briefcase and a fiver? M Python ;) I ended up purchassing a new Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe from Century Honda (Cincinnati, OH). All the folks there were top notch. They had a no 'BS' approach unlike some of the other greater Cincinnati dealers I contacted. I worked with: Steve Hoerst-Honda Sales Rep Rob Hatcher-Business Manger Nick Walkenhorst-Internet Sales Manager I highly recommend!!! Only 400$ under a NEW one? Get some help NOW. > That seems too high. I counter-offered $24,100 -$400 less than what he > quoted- for the new Accord.
