so I am thinking with taxes/tags to ask for $19,000 Is this too low? I just started my digging into the price of accords (im used to civics) oh and sales tax in VA is 3%

where can I got to find rebates and those hidden fees from the dealer?

^^^ those older ones, while obviously a good financial decision, are hideous. I can't stand the back end. I like what Honda has done on its recent update.

my sis got one for 19K I would start asking at 18.5K for everything and then move up to 19K. You can def. get it for that much. you just need to have a good friend at the dealer or say you can get it from the honda store down the road.

invoice for 19,378. Most dealerships are full disclosure, as to avoid getting sued. They will start from the top, obviously. If you let them know that the other dealerships pissed you off with the run around and you want to cut to the chase, they will be more flexible (thru fear that they know you are shoppin' around and they don't want to lose your business). Bring as much paper work as you can to help you justify your numbers. If you say "well i got it for $19 at the other dealership" they will look at you like a moron and say to themselves "WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU GET IT THEN!?" asking for 19k might be a stretch (not saying its not possible) if it includes the doc fee, electronic filing (if applicable), tax, title, registration, and inspection. Destination fee should already be included in the Invoice. Affiliates get invoice - 1% + rebates (at least GMC and Daimler-Chrysler employees do). However, they still pay for the tax and fees on top of that.

All in all, 19k for the car is definately a reasonable offer (not including tax, registration, inspection, etc...) Say you want 19k for the car. Don't lowball them from the get-go and they won't hi-ball you in return. If you cut to the chase, they should too. Don't be afraid to let them make like $100 profit, its only fair. You'd still be getting a killer deal. Don't give them a hard time, just be serious and show them that you're buying a car and you've got a REASONABLE deal that they can either take you up on, or pass to the dealership down the road.
