I would say that the "Sport" model is the only one that dealers are trying to hold onto some kind of markup right now, they are popular.
That means only $800.00 below invoice ;-)
Thanks in advance!

Can you give the dealer/sales manger contact details.
Thanks
"following the owners manual and maintenance monitor"
That's what is best, just follow whatever recommended maintenace and u should be fine. When i bought my first Honda i said to myself that i would follow it to the T, in that way, if something went wrong, it wasn't going to be due to lack of maintenace but because the brand did not live up to the expectation. It's been good so far, thanks again.
On 6 Feb, I did receive an email but it was a basic "thank you for purchasing your new vehicle........if you have questions....." It did not have anything referring to any specific maintenance or warranty information.
On 7 Feb, I received a follow-up call from the warranty rep which is what I posted. I hope this helps.
The model your looking at is a supply and demand car. Dealers dont have many on there lots. They are not going to give the 6 speed manuals away.
i would suggest calling as many dealerships as possible in your area on President weekend and the last day of this month.
Check this forum to see lowest price in and near your state.
Call each dealership on above target days and let each dealerships Internet/sales manager know for xxx price you buy that day.
If you call 10 dealerships and they all say this is my best price you then decide if you want to buy or wait another month or two. Thats how you determine the market price in your area. By contacting 20 or more dealerships you will find the good and bad dealerships. If you decide to wait another month or two you then only call back the best 5 dealers that you thought were fair and not playing games with you.
Good luck

Enjoy your new ride!
looks like he recieved a great deal.
The LX and EX models are selling at a better price. Dealers have alot of inventory on there lots and need to move them quicker than the the sport and EXL V-6 models.

Edmunds home page is where you could find Rebates and Incentives on all vehicles.
Hopefully all this snow in the NorthEast is hurting Honda sales for this month

Is this a good deal?
TIA.
I will assume this is either a courtesy car used by the dealer or a trade-in by someone for the new model. I would personally go for the new LX (about 22K OTD right?), I think you get more car for the money, and it will be 0 miles, and probably get better financing assuming you're financing. If you still go for the EX make you you test drive the heck out of it, they are known for the steering wheel vibration, my first test drive had that.
Best of luck, Julian
Which state you got the 2012 SE? I am in AZ and I think, state taxes are higher here.
On 2nd Jan 2013 I purchased 2013 Honda Accord EX L from Sunnyvale dealership. Silver color.
I purchased for $28,200 on road price including everything with free few accessories door lock,door safe guards pre installed. I paid 20% downpayment and got loan at 1.99% interest from credit union. I am a visa holder. Hope this helps..
Hint: It's all about the state laws protecting franchise dealerships.
Very informative.

Isn't it the buyer who created the unpleasurable experience? No where else do you haggle over the price. Cars come with MSRP stickers, just like everything else you would buy at a grocery, department, or hardware store.
I don't see people going up to a meat counter and haggling over the price of the pork chop?
If someone did not want haggle, they would pay MSRP and walk away happy.
I like to haggle, I wish I could haggle at the grocery store, hardware, and department stores (sometimes I do, and walkaway with great deals).
Most people put too much emotion into buying a car or a house. Once you take the emotion out of it, and make it into a purchase, that is no different than buying a gallon of milk, it becomes a much more pleasurable experience.
I have a simple system of buying cars. Once I decide which vehicle to buy, I will reasearch the price, and determine what I am comfortable paying for it. Contact sales people and tell them up front that I know what they paid for the car, and I am aware of their costs, and this is what I am willing to pay. Some will turn it down, some will accept.
There are sales people who would rather earn a little bit of comission on the 15 minutes they will spend with me, rather than not earn anything. They realize they could spend 4 hours with someone and earn nothing, at least with me, they are guaranteed a sale.
I am in NJ, North Jersey to be more specific, and the dealers I have worked with on pricing include DCH Honda in Paramus, Ramsey Honda, Route 23 Honda, Garden State Honda and Paul Miller. Most aggressive pricing back then was from GSH due to stock that they had, I got the same deal from Route 23 Honda. I am really happy with Route 23 Honda.
Good luck, Julian
Car salesman today are on salary. Most make as little as 100 dollars per vehicle sold.
The formula to buying any vehicle should be started like this.
1- Find invoice price
2- Minus dealer hold back
3-Minus rebates and Incentives
4- Minus doc fee's
This is your starting point on buying any vehicle.

How's that? Destination fee, shipping or freight fee is what manufacturer charges dealerships. How is dealership making money on that?

Where is the salesman's $100 comission coming from if you are paying what dealer paid? Where is the electricity being paid for? Heating? Water? Sewer? Property taxes?
So, when you go to a supermarket to buy a gallon of milk, do you tell them that their $4/gallon price is too high, and you want to pay $3/gallon, which is what they paid?
Perhaps you never sold a thing in your life, and that is why you think the way you think. One day you will own something, and you will want to sell it. Someone, just like you, will tell you what they should bepaying you. See how you feel.
I have a small business, (outside of my day job), and when I have a customer who tells me what it should cost me in parts, and that is what they should be paying me, I flat out tell them since they don't value what I do, they can buy the components them selves and build it them selves.
I am not in it for just the fun of it. I am in it for the money. While I like doing what I do, I am not going to do it for free.
I am all for being frugal, but people would not be in business if it were not for them making a living.
When you have hundreds of Honda dealerships all competing for your business you make your best deal. Me as a consumer could care less about dealerships electric, gas, lawn maintaince bills etc. I'm looking for the best price. If dealers cant do a certain price another can. And thats how the Car game is played. Its the way business has been for years.
You like to buy your milk at Pathmark for $4
I like to buy my milk at walmart for..........3
Everything you buy in your lifetime is about price. So cut all this nonsense out about dealers not making money... you own a business. what ever your bottom line number is thats what you sell at. If you cant make it you get out..

As to financing, I ran into some dealers that force me to use their finance, even if financing only the minimum amount. I also ran into dealers who don't care. The dealer I got my car from doesn't care.
