Default ordered my 2004 accord ex v6 sedan

just finished haggling at the dealer today. my price was 23500. what does everyone think of this deal? btw i went to a dealer in queens ny, and they say they will have it for me by tomorrow afternoon because they have to get it from their car lot somewhere else in queens, ny. this is a common thing right? should i be worried that they just gave me a printout of the car i will be taking delivery tomorrow indicating everything about it? i always imagined that i would actually walk around the lot and choose the one i want.

well, um, that's normal :dunno:

My parents have purchased new cars (from a dealership) on two different occasions without ever laying eyes on it until they took delivery. Both of them were Toyotas that came from another dealership (they test drove the same cars).

They can't sell you a car that doesn't have the options that you specified/payed for...

i think its weird that your getting an accord that would seem to be on the lot... a white 4 door ex v6 with no options isnt "rare" or anything....

well, they put the ones with overpriced accessories ($550 wing, $300 tint, $400 foglights, etc.) on the lot so they are more likely to be purchased.

true. I cringe whenever I see a relative or friend pay for accessories at the dealer. Mine came bone stock (or standard) from the dealer, and it's still that way. The mud flaps, foglights, spoiler, or $300 tint are a complete waste of money. I got my windows tinted for $160 w/ a lifetime warranty from SolarGard, and the guy who did it was part of the crew that applied the armor coating on the replacement Pentagon windows when they rebuilt that section afte 9/11 :usa:

Have you seen the Accord 6 speed with performance package? Man that thing is hot....definitely the way to go if you want improved suspension but want to keep your warranty. OEM Kit, spoiler, decent looking rims, 1" drop...it looks so hot

Hey where in queens did you go. I live in queens and I bought my car at paragon honda. Those A$$holes made me wait 3 days for my car. I bet you they had to do a locate on it. And they day I went to pick it up it wasn't even ready. The kit I got with it wasn't on it and the weather strips on the two doors were all cringed. I made them fix every last little bit of it.
