Okay, so I went to the dealership today to see what they had available in terms of certified used cars and came across a 2007 Honda Accord EXL 4 cylinder with sunroof leather interior, and temperature controlled seats. The car had 32,000 miles on it already. What would be a fair asking price for the car including taxes, license and registration fees? The best the dealership said they could do was 17,300. They came down from 18,900 after some back and forth bargaining. I didn't want to pay more than 16,000. Any idea what a fair price for this car would be?

We need to know more to be sure, because you didn't tell us everything about the vehicle that's necessary to know.

Assuming that it is a 2007 EX-L Sedan Automatic without Navigation, the normal Certified price at a Honda dealer would average about $18.2K.

If it's not at a Honda dealer, not Certified, then in identically good condition visibly, the price drops to an average of maybe $17.5K.

In the same condition a Certified car would be at that mileage, you might have to look for a private listing to get down to $16K.

But this assumes it's a Sedan, Automatic, EX-L without Nav.

Anything can happen, and the dealer might be desperate for the cash, but I think you might be about a grand off what your best buy might be. :-)

Thanks for the information!

To be a bit clearer,

I was at a Honda Dealership, and the car was a Certified Used Honda. The car did not come with a Navigation System.

In terms of what I should be asking to pay, are you saying 17,000 is my best bet? This is my first time purchasing a car, and I was pretty happy that I was able to get the dealer to lower the price from 18,900 to 17,200. I'm just wondering how low I should be able to go.


Thanks in advance!!

A few months ago I bought a 2007 EX-L V6 w/o Nav with 55,000 miles. I paid $13,000 from Enterprise. Dont know if this helps, but maybe it can give you an idea.

I looked around and it seems depending where u go the price ranges from 16-19k, 17k seems to be the average price ive seen, with a low mileage around 35k and less, dont know where u live but im in Jersey and i found certified hondaz with the trim ur looking for as low as 15k.. so if u can get it fro 17k plus tax , plus loan interest rate, ull be over 20k but around 350 a month, also i dont know if ur putting money down so that helps bring the price down,.. i said to much, but good luck with ur purchase and watever u decide u wont be dissappointed....
