Tips on Buying Cars: reasonable price for new Accord LX - ?, kelly blue book, may1st


Question
I sent this question to Roger but it was bounced back -  I gather he is not available.   Maybe you can help.  I want to get a new Accord - the LX with auto trans.  Kelly Blue Book says $21,000 - a touch over dealer cost.  Edmunds says $19,900 - about $800 below dealer cost (live near Buffalo, NY).  I'm not looking for a 'super deal.'  I want the dealer to make a normal profit and I want the salesman to make a normal commission.  I want a normal post-sale relationship.  What do you think?

Answer
Hi Mark,

My buddy Roger is an ace when it comes to detailed answers, you should be able to make contact about May1st.

In the meantime yes maybe I can help you along,,, I like the fact you simply want a fair deal,  and the only way to accomplish that is to be prepared entering a dealership with obtained quotes.
