Queen of the Road: Welcome to AutoBragBlog! There are so many possibilities to buy a new car under $24,000. I dont know where to start because there are an abundance of great deals. I’ll list a few so you can get an idea what our car price search engine offers.

Let’s get started with the Hyundais…

For a 2008 Hyundai Azera GLS 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 5A),

The Lowest Internet Price: $21,899.00
MSRP: $25,395.00
ePrice: $21,899.00
Savings: $3,496.00
% OFF MSRP: 13.77%

For a 2009 Hyundai Azera GLS 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 5A),

The Lowest Internet Price: $21,260.00
MSRP: $25,395.00
ePrice: $21,260.00
Savings: $4,135.00
% OFF MSRP: 16.28%

For a 2008 Toyota Camry CE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A),

The Lowest Internet Price: $16,136.00

What you can do when you see a particular model is to compare MSRP with the MSRP deals in www.AutoBrag.com. Or you can simply run it by us and well look to find a deal in comparison to that model. You can also calculate the percentage off MSRP to see if you’re getting a good deal.

How To Calculate The % Off MSRP: MSRP - Invoice Price = X / MSRP = Y (move the decimal point over two and that’s the percentage you’re saving. Compare the savings to AutoBrag’s 2009 Camry discount percentages…

If you’d like to use one of the deals above…

How do I use these deals at my local dealerships? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen or any Sales Rep., head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up dealership’s website and checking their inventory. It may take a few tries before a dealership agrees to honor the deal.

The effort is certainly worth it. Saving an extra thousand(s) really pays off at a time like this. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Here’s a good car buying article I recommmend everyone read before completing the car buying process. Best of luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!

Follow Up Comment: WOW Thank you for your help!

I can’t believe you’re helping the likes of me when there are so many of us asking for help. I can’t imagine how you can afford the time and effort, but i’m sure i speak for most of us - we are grateful.

Thank you,

Sincerely

Yuniverse

Question From Sadaf:  price quote on the honda sedan lx 2008

Queen of the Road:  Hi Sadaf. Welcome to AutoBragBlog.

What kind of Honda sedan are you looking for? Accord? Civic?

Please leave your choice in the reply/comment box and I’ll get started on looking up deals.

Question From Dick: The car is in above average condition. It has after market tinted windows and sound proofing installed. Mileage is 14,700. All service records are available. This is a private sale.

Queen of the Road: Hi Dick. Welcome to AutoBragBlog. What is their offering price?

For a 2007 Honda Fit Sport with 14,700 miles, wholesale prices range from $14,000 (being in above average condition) to $12,500 (being in average condition) and $10,900 (being in below average condition). A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $12,500 to $15,600. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

Be sure to check carfax just in case. Goodluck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes! Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free car price service.

Question From Linda: Hi

I am interested in buying one of the following cars, it just depends on
the price I can get it for:
2008 or 2009
New Honda Ciivic
Ex or LX
Automatic
4 door
I would like the polished metal metallic color (it is the very dark
gray charcoal color)

There is one dealership close to me, Space Coast Honda, that has an EX
like I described and they will only go down to $19,800. Do you think I
can do better?

They also have an LX model like the one I want, and it has a very small
fin onthe back trunk, and it has some wheels on it that look like they
came from a 2008 model. But I would like to know how much I should be
paying for an LX 2009 wth the specifics that I listed above?

I have a 2005 Honda Civic EX Special Edition in the gray metallic color
they offered back then. It has 36, 500 miles and it is in perfect
condition. No dents, dings or scratches. It will be needing tires very
soon. The interior is also in perfect conditon with no smoking or other
smells.How much do you think I should except as a trade in if I buy a
new honda civic, and how much should I accept if I sell it myself?

Thank you for any advice you can give me!! I just don’t know who to
trust!!

Linda

Queen of the Road: Hi Linda! Welcome back. Wow, you’re quite a Civic fanatic.

First off, you can definitely trust us. We’re here to help you through this tedious process.  But fear not, don’t think of this new car buying experience as somehting painful. AutoBrag will help guide you through to find the best deal out there. Just think, spending a few minutes with us will save you time and hopefully, lots of money.

In order for me to determine if you can do better with that offer, I need much more info. What is the MSRP of the Civic quoted for $19,800? What is the year, trim (EX or LX), sedan or coupe?

Is your 2005 Civic a Coupe or Sedan? Manual or Automatic?

The deals below can be applied another identical Civic in your area in the color that you picked out.

For a 2009 Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A),

MSRP: $20,416.00
ePrice: $19,199.00
Savings: $1,217.00
% OFF MSRP: 5.96%

For a 2008 Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A),

MSRP: $20,416.00
ePrice: $17,999.00
Savings: $2,417.00
% OFF MSRP: 11.84%

Please leave your information in the reply/comment box and I’ll get started. Have you ever thought about a Toyota? Toyota has better deals offered.

Question From Phuong:  How much should I pay for 2007 honda fit base model DX no air, with cruise control,no keyless entry, no power lock. Miles: 19K.
They want 15200, but I think it is too much.

Queen of the Road:  Hi Phuong. Welcome to AutoBragBlog and thank you for your kind comment.

For a 2007 Honda Fit with 19,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $12,700 (being in above average condition) to $11,100 (being in average condition) and $9,600 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices.

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $10.8k to $14.1k. In this case, the seller is aiming real high. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

You’re absolutely right, Phuong. $15,200 is way overpriced. If they won’t budge in price, walk away.

Be sure to check carfax and do plenty of research on the history of each vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article I recommmend everyone read before completing the car buying process.  Best of luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!

Question From Ruth:  How much should I pay for
1) 2009 Honda Accord LXP
2) 2009 Acura TSX

Queen of the Road:  Hello Ruth! Welcome to our blog! We haven’t for Acura deals yet. We should have some deals in the near future. AutoBrag is currently working very hard with Acura dealerships to obtain their prices for our system.

For a 2009 Honda Accord LX-P 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A),

The Discounted Price: $23,116.00
MSRP: $24,716.00
ePrice: $23,116.00
Savings: $1,600.00
% OFF MSRP: 6.47%
The deal was marked as Fair. Hondas not really being generous with all their 2009 model deals as Toyota is. Have you considered any Toyotas? Their mark offs go as high as 25% off on some models, but overall, they know how to get customers through high discounts.

There aren’t any incentives being offered for the Accords at the moment. If you’d like to research other Accord models deals, feel free to look through www.AutoBrag.com. Below is an explanation of the data above and how to utilize these deals from out of state in your local Honda dealership. 

What are all these blue links for? The first blue link breaks down the numbers so that you don’t have to do any math or researching. You’ll see exactly how much money you’re saving if you pay the “Internet Price”. It also lists the National Average Discount, the National Maximum Discount and the National Average Price for each vehicle. We also provide our personal opinion to whether we think the deal is good or not.

If we approve the deal, we’ll show a thumbs up and “Bring Your Checkbook“.

If we think the deal is ok, we’ll show a thumb tilted sideways and “Fair Market“.

If we disapprove the deal, we’ll show a thumbs down and “Keep Shopping“.

The second blue link is the proof you’ll need when you step foot onto the dealership. Don’t leave home without it! It’s the page that shows the price which you’ll be asking for. It’s basically what you need to pull up on their computers if they don’t believe you found that price online form that dealer’s inventory.

How do I use these deals from out of state in my hometown? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up dealership’s website and checking their inventory. It may take a few tries before a dealership agrees to honor the deal.

The effort is certainly worth it. Saving an extra thousand(s) really pays off at a time like this. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Don’t forget to tell your friends and family about our free personal service. Goodluck and keep us posted!

Question From Laura:  I would like to be able to purchase for $19,000 for everything excluding tax and tags (which is approx 10 % MSRP). Is this reasonable? Thanks!!

Queen of the Road:  Hi Laura. I haven’t found any deals with a mark up as high as 10% for the CR-Vs. Honda isn’t really being as generous with their discounts as Toyota is with their Rav4s. Rav4 mark ups average around 12% - 19%. You could attempt to get 10% off MSRP, but it looks a bit far fetched. Give it a shot anyways.

You could get away with lower than $20,000 if you went towards a Rav4. I would consider a Rav4 since they’re pretty much neck to neck with all their features.

Here are the lowest prices I can get from Honda…

For a 2008 Honda CR-V LX 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A) from Gunn Honda,

The Lowest Internet Price: $20,498.00
MSRP: $21,370.00
ePrice: $20,498.00
Savings: $872.00
% OFF MSRP: 4.08%

For a 2008 Toyota RAV4 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A) from Miller Toyota,

The Lowest Internet Price: $19,245.00
MSRP: $23,045.00
ePrice: $19,245.00
Savings: $3,800.00
% OFF MSRP: 16.49%

To see all the CR-V and Rav4 deals, poke around on www.AutoBrag.com.
