2017 Accord Sport CVT Mod Steel Metallic
I'm still doing my homework and plan to start shopping hard next week and see as I get closer to the end of the month if I can work something out.
2- Civic's and 1- Accord. This is a perfect sale for one of the higher volume dealerships they will offer a lower price where as the little dealer may give you a good deal depending on there sales/ leased numbers for the month.
The selling dealer would be making his money on the three vehicles being financed, and how close to invoice he can sell them to you.
I would try to negotiate dealers doc fee's if there high to being reduced for your business on a possible 3 car deal.
Your best approach to this deal is knowing the leased numbers on the Civic. Money factor/ residual/cap cost and miles per yr.
Targeting price 1200 to 1800 below invoice price on the Civic with the right leased numbers applied.
Accord at 1200 to 1800 below invoice price for the sale.
This should be your frame of mind on pricing and buying.
I'm not sure how much this may matter but Honda's 3rd Quarter Sales ends in Sept, this could help with pricing at the end of month especially with smaller dealerships.
The more dealerships you get involved by Call/ Email the better chance you have to getting your targeted price.
Good luck....... you should do good this time of the year.

I guess it is time to get the homework started:)
last point and i dont know the answer on this... Flex cash incentive for financing tru honda. Honda may only give you a 1 time offer of 500 flex regardless of how many vehicles your purchasing. If not you need to call as many dealerships that your willing to travel to and make your deal with those dealers that will give you 1500 flex for all 3 cars. Call honda to find out.
Another thought is being your paying loans off anyway see if you could put both your kids names on each lease as a co - borrower making it separate sales and getting the full benefit of the flex cash.

I have started emailing some dealers so we'll see what comes back. I'll certainly post what I learn.
I should of put the beth and P.A. together.
Good luck

You can buy one car or ten cars,, if the deal makes sense you'll drive home in a new car or three new cars.
They won't lose money on the Accord if they are making next to nothing on the Civics.
I've been out of the business for a couple of years but knowing what I know your deal doesn't seem remotely possible.
Why an EXL Accord? Do you really "need" an EXL or could you settle for what is now a well equipped LX? That could possible work...maybe.

If you got the Civics at the low end of Brian’s range of $1,200 - $1,800 under invoice and applied the current residual and money factors, the lease payment including the $595 lease inception fee would be $174. At the high end, $157.
Your deal requires $2995 down. For a 27 month lease, every $1000 decrease in the capitalized cost of the car increases the payment by about $38, so your lease would be $203. I’m also inclined to believe that if you looked at the dealer’s ad, the $2995 is considered a cap cost reduction and makes no mention of the lease inception fee being included so if you put that into the lease, it would now be $225.
If you go to the Honda website, they have an advertised deal of zero due at signing and then 35 payments of $210. The lease inception fee is included. They also say that the cap cost of the car is $19,194 so when you deduct the $595 fee, the selling price is actually $18,599 which is $176 over invoice. Not a good deal but better than yours. In fact, dealers love people going for the nationally advertised deal since there is always a large profit margin in them, thought they will complain to you that they hate these deals but are forced to do them.
Also, never put money down on a lease. If the car is totaled or stolen, you lose everything you paid at signing. I recommend you put everything into the lease including doc fee and title/registration and asking for 36 equal monthly payments. The check you give them when you pick up the car should be the same amount as your monthly payment.
Incidentally, if you go to the Weymouth Honda website’s lease calculator, you’ll find that their Civic lease is for around $1,000 under invoice, so if you don’t like to negotiate, take the kids to Boston .
For the record, 4 dealers were contacted and none have replied back in almost 24 hours. I find that hard to believe but I guess selling cars these days must be very good.
thank you.
Was there any Flex cash included?
Pricing in M.D is very aggressive with some of the best prices in the country on Accords, CRV, and Civic. Here are just a few to contact with getting your targeted price on the lease.
Criswell
Sport
Anderson
Pohanka. great prices has been killing the other honda dealerships in pricing.dealership had flex cash last month.
Ourisman
One of these dealers in M.D. will lease you a 2013 Civic on the low end of 1000 below invoice matching Weymouth starting ad offer pricing.
I would send out emails and make your calls letting these dealerships know you are buying/Leasing at the end of Aug. here is what i am looking for .. You could quietly negotiate thru this month with dealers making a good deal at the end. Beginning and middle of the month buying is a waste of time. I would reccomend you start your buying process the last week of the month and making your best deal the on the very last days in Aug.

Do not attempt to go there first without buying vehicle via phone and fax
Is it really worth going thru all that . Thats even alittle to extreme for me and i'm a nut job when it comes to getting good pricing.
In your case i would consider a 8 to 10 hour bus or car ride round trip in your area with a dealership giving you the best price .
Re-Check your prices and model i doubt highly a 3000 dollar difference in your area to D.C.. Up to 1k might be more likely

Looking for white with black leather, navigation and satellite radio. Seems like the sport has white with leather but without xm radio. The push button start is also nice to have. Thx in advance.

They all share the same engine and transmission - car is fantastic. No buyers remorse on my part. Don't think you will be disapointed.
IMHO best to avoid Ourisman and College Park Honda. Too many games. On my last four buys I tried them but found the hoops the presented too annoying. I found better deals without the hoops elsewhere.

Also, brian125 is knowledgeable in pricing on aftermarket alarms - he can probably help.
2017 Accord Sport CVT Mod Steel Metallic
You just cant make this stuff up. Are people this stupid that this kid would say something like this and believe i would drive 4 hours without a signed bill of sale.
The Internet mgr did give me a price quote in the range of the competition. College park honda is well aware of who is selling in maryland. You have to catch them on the right time for a sale and bring it to there attention.

These other alarms i listed below are a better choice with maximum Security features like No tow, Gps tracking, Remote start, Engine immobilzers, Gas cut off valves, motion detection warning sent to your phone and computer. Read up on them and see what features you want and need then try to make a deal with a honda dealer with a similar alarm.
Viper........................5902......... Buy at Amazon under $400
phython....................911
Lo-jack..................... 600/700 to install. extra $ for early warning if car is moved.
Cliford.......................5702
Avital
Any alarm can be dis-abled . The newer alarm systems are very time consuming to shut down and steal. Alarms that have all of the above plus a gas cutoff, with a back up battery system are monster alarms.

Edit: after reading more, I probably will just go with the lo-jack to save myself the time and headache dealing with warranty if there is a problem later on.
If you go with either Viper or Python they are neck and neck. The major factor is your installer.

Sorry for the delay in updates.
Here is the thing .. I have had numerous phone calls from dealers all over NJ and NY and a couple from CT and MA. The best deal out of all those was around the same.
$27.3k (base price + destination + doc fee)
+ 7% NJ tax
+ $400 NJ registration + other tire crap
I visited 3 of the dealerships personally. One guy who agreed for a price didnt actually give it to me the next day because his boss wouldnt approve. The other two were not willing to negotiate at all after punching the numbers in the calculators :P
So I figured this is the best deal I could get and pulled the trigger. Maybe I can squeeze in a couple hundred more if I waited .. but I on that day I think thats the best possible price any dealer is willing to give it in and around NJ area.
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions and a special thanks to Brian and Blue. It helped me immensely in buying my Still Night Pearl Accord EX-L V6 Coupe. I absolutely love the car

Edmunds Invoice price: $28,547
My price: $27k
The EX's and above come with a factory system, right?
The key immoblizer makes the car very difficult to steal.
And, I would never buy an aftermarket system. As they age, they tend to cause trouble and false alarm. They won't affect your warranty UNLESS a careless installation (very common) has caused trouble.
As I understand things, Lo-Jack is becoming obsolete in some areas.
Lastly, if my car ever gets stolen, I don't want it back. This is what insurance is for.
Pro's that steal cars for a living would have no trouble getting around One deterrent but 4 or 5 additional ones would be harder and alot of times they walk away due to the time factor/ getting caught.
I agree with you....... if you steal my Accord i dont want it back.

Just bought a Accord EXL Basque Red for 25,500 from Boch Honda West. This includes $500 flex cash.
Vinod
MSRP on the EX sedan is $26,195 and the invoice price is $24,037.
Were there any negotiations in price?
All honda models have the same basic Alarm. If you try to steal it without the proper equipment the engine will not start. If you break the window there are no sirens. If you then open the door the horn beeps.
Tell your uncle that whats in his Accord is good enough. Some dealerships may install the viper alarm for you. This would help down the road if there is a malfunction in the installation. Installing these alarms do not void the warranty.

The idea of some 18 year old "mechanic" cutting into my factory wiring harness to install an aftermarket alarm isn't something I want to do.
When I was in the business. trades often came in with aftermarket alarm systems. The second time they false alarmed on our lot, we clipped the wires.
As they age, the problems and false alarms increase.
EDIT: An aftermarket alarm won't void the entire warranty but if there is an electrical problem that was caused by the alarm installation it could void that part of the warranty.
