How would you recommend purchasing an Accord with a manual transmission? They are very difficult to find. It seems a lot of leverage is lost trying to buy a car in limited supply. Thanks.

but where are you obtaining the invoice prices on the 13 Accords? Are you using the internet price off of the Weymouth dealership, Edmunds.com?
I am looking to purchase either the
13 Accord Sport I4 CVT auto
or
13 Accord EXL V6 W/ NAV.
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks
All pricing can be found at Edmunds web site, kbb.com[ kellys],, Consumer reports, Msn auto, are just a few. Dealers invoice price on the 2 models you are looking into are;
1- EXL w Nav $ 29,326 plus dest charge $790= 30,116
2- Sport CVT $ 22,139 plus dest charge 790= 22,929
Any deal you could make below invoice price with no/ or reduced doc fee's is a very good deal. i know i sound like a broken record but to get your best deal you must be ready and the dealer must know that your requested price.... Your buying at that Moment on the phone. Let us Know how you made out.......... BRIAN

The dealer had to get the car (champagne frost pearl) from another dealer in Sarasota, so that dealer had added (listed on the addendum sticker), nitrogen, accent stripes & wheel well moldings, raising the MSRP from $27,995 to $29,280. Also added (but not on the sticker, so they had to be included in the $1285 (!) increase in MSRP, were splashguards & wheel locks.
I wanted these last 2 items, so that was ok. I was charged an add'l $149 for all 5 of these items (included in the total above), which I agreed to, as I was prepared to fight an earlier quote that was $83 higher.
I believe I got most of the dealer's holdback, so obviously there is more profit somewhere that we aren't privy to. The closest quote I got to this price was about $600 higher. Most of the other dealers claimed my dealer ( I never told them who it was) was losing money on this deal. This was exactly what they said in '08 when I bought my EXL V6 from Love for $27,027 OTD. I think some folks on this forum back then doubted my price as well.
THE PROCESS
Mostly as has been described elsewhere, I started by test driving locally all the cars I was considering, each 2 or more times. After deciding on the EXL sedan I sent out requests thru AAA, Car Woo, Consumer Reports & probably some others. Prices I got back were mostly all high & before dealer fee & TTL. Love actually started with invoice. I asked each for details - OTD, including dealer fee, TTL, etc.? All came back with prices in roughly the $28,000 - $30,000 range. I took bits from each - 110% price guarantee, beat anyone's price by $500, invoice from Love - & told each I'd sell to whoever could do $25,100. None could or would come close but Love, who said they'd do it but add their $499 fee. Sounded pretty good, so now the car's sitting in my garage.
On my approximately 35 mile trip back home on country roads & through a few little FL towns I got 37.4 mpg, without using the econ button. Wow! Yeah, I'm pleased.

I don't see a lot of folks here or on other price paid sites getting dealers to eat not only most of their holdback, but their dealer fees as well. Maybe if the sales mgr is a relative...
Regarding the added accessories, I misstated the increased MSRP. it was actually $495. The $240 I paid was certainly more than what I could have bought & installed them for, but they were already on the car & looked good, & I still got a far better bottom line deal than anyone else was offering!
By the way their dealer fee is only 129 bucks so the rest of the dealers,with high fee's that you may encounter are over charging.
I have bought 3 other accords in the past from this dealer but I guess we cannot deal on a 2013.

You made a great deal no doubt. 800 below Dealers Invoice. Close to the best price so far. That being said. Love honda did not go into there Dealer holdback to sell you that Accord. why? End of quarter sales. All dealerships that are selling over there vehicle quotos are getting a nice check back from the Honda corp. DEC, is a great month to buy. Especially the last day of Dec.... Removing those high dealer fee's can be done. The key is How good you can Negotiate and knowing what to say to the manager. You must be buying the last 2 days of any month. You tell The Manager your buying that Moment. Rural area's where there are not alot of dealerships are harder. I have bought many of friends and family cars from Maine to Florida and Arizona over the years and Never paid added fee's. Enjoy your Car

I am interested. I have contacted several dealerships in the Baltimore, MD area. So far, I have 3 dealers giving me prices below invoice. My best price OTD so far for a 2013 Accord PC CVT without any options is 22,130 (6% sales tax). My plan is to buy the car on Saturday, December 29 or Monday the 31st. Any help in getting a rock bottom price would be greatly appteciated!

All dealers should make a profit or they would not remain in business. For many of us it is the underhanded manner in which dealers attempt to deceive buyers via the use of the documentation fee scheme. Viewing many of the posts on Edmunds, it appears dealers have been surprisingly successful in this deception. Far too many seem to have accepted such fees as real.
Sadly for you, dealers in Florida seem to be the most adept at this scheme. Four hundred and ninety nine dollars seems akin to robbery. Perhaps the people of Florida should partition their elected officials.
Smart buyers will simply calculate the dealer documentation amount into the amount they offer for the vehicle. Personally, I always found a dealer who will lower the selling price to account for the "docuentation fee." Might take a bit of work but it can be done.
It is important to note dealers must show the fee on every sale or they run the risk of discrimiation. However, this can actually work a small bit in the buyer's favor. Reducing the selling price of the vehicle by the recorded fee should reduce the tax base resulting in a small reduction to the amount of sales tax paid. The important thing is to assure the sales price is reduced to cover the docuemntation fee.
Here the tax is 6.25%
Any comments.
Needed a car, my last one was totaled by an inattentive driver, so this was the best I could do in a short time. Overall I am happy, although the deliver process took far too long (over 2 hours). The car was dirty inside when we arrived and we had to point it out to sales to be rectified. Then it had some codes showing because the battery had died and it needed to be jumped, so they had to spend some time resetting the codes before we left.
