Poysonivee said she pitted two competing dealers against each other to undercut her price. I would try that.
Yup, indeed I did. Another thing I did was wait until the last day of the month to call in. Oftentimes the dealers are trying to sell "just one more car" for the month and will do the deal for a better price if you promise to buy THAT DAY. If you are willing to compromise on the color, that helps as well. Call in anonymously and ask them if they have a specific color in the type of accord that you want. If they say they don't, then call in and say you'll buy the car that day if they have that color. They'll say they don't have it, and would you consider another color? Say yes, but only if they drop the price a little because it wasn't exactly what you were looking for... but this trick only works at the end of the month as well, or else they'll just do a dealer trade for the color. :naughty:
Hope that helps, and good luck! You should be able to get it for a good price. Just be smart about it! :thumbup:
