2013 and earlier-Honda Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience

raa0

I just bought an Accord LX sedan, automatic transmission, (with splash guards) at Honda of Frontenac for $18984. That includes destination and the dealer's $199 fee. And I got the 1.9% financing for 60 months. This was from the person who will reply (I assume he is the only one) if you request a price quote online. The price I paid was about $550 less than the price that was initially quoted. Very smooth, easy buying experience.

Thanks for all the useful information in this forum!

REF:25116
What was the MSRP on that car? 27540
Must be a regional incentive b/c it's 24098 here in Ohio (where it's built)!
Do you like your V-4? :surprise:

zatires

It is not a V4 engine, it is an I4 engine.

I want to thank all the posters before me for posting so much valuable information.

Today I purchased an 2010 Accord Ex-L i4 Sedan (no Navi) for $22,799.
Only add on were wheel locks for $54.66 (sticker price was $91)
Taxes (9.75%) $2,233.59
Lic Fees: $268
Reg fee: $81
CA Tire fees: $8.70

Total OTD: $25,500

Location: Bay Area. I sent out many emails to multiple dealerships, and this one was the best internet quote I received. Once I got to the dealership, the manager said the quote was not negotiable...blah blah blah.

I could have gone to another dealership or waited for another day...but after making a couple more calls, I decided the price was within the buying range. So I took it. Thank you all.

As mentioned in my original post, I had to drive 300 miles from Pittsburgh, PA to Fredericksburg, VA to get this deal. The price on the window sticker was $27,540. The quote before TTL is $22,618. Since its not a V6, I thought it would be a V4. I am not well-versed with the specification. Its a 4-cyl, 4-door sedan. I love this car :shades:

It is a good price, similar to what I got from a dealer. Does it include the $710.00 destination?

Bought my first Honda yesterday and I'm thrilled! Car will be delivered later in the week, but loved the test drive, safety and Navi features. It's a black/black that looks sleek as anything.

Pricing:

Price: 24,200
Price w/ features: 24,755
OTD: 26,400

Financed with 0.9% APR for 36 months.

Spent about 3 weeks looking for this car in blue on black. Only one dealer in NJ had it and was asking significantly more than the other offers I was working with on same car and trim. Made the trip to Jamaica, NY and bought the car 23400 OTD in the color i wanted and financed @ 1.9 over 60 months. I probably could have saved maybe a few hundred bucks if I spent the time to visit some of the other dealers in NY, but overall I'm happy with the purchase.

Try getting quotes from more than 1 dealership.

The following 3 gave me the most competitive quotes around SF Bay Area:

Fremont Honda
Livermore Honda
Anderson (Palo Alto) Honda

Best of luck.

Hello,

A local desler here is quoting $24429 for a 2010 EX-L + licensing fee and tax. Is this a good price? Another dealer but $60 miles away came at $23990.

Another related question. We typically keep a car for a long time (10+ years). Is it worth going in for the 100K miles bumper to bumper warranty or si that an overkill for a Honda?

I test drove the EX-L (I4) and simply love it.

Thanks

Can you provide name of dealership and sales person!
Thanks!

srrji

I can't remember the sales person's name. The dealership is Honda of Bellevue, Belelvue, WA

polar59

I have just started requesting quotes from dealerships in Dallas. The first two quotes are pretty much the same, right at $25K which includes $710 destination charges. First question, is this a good quote?

Second question, I then hear about options that are already installed on ALL the vehicles on the lot. Splash guards, wheel locks, tint, cargo tray, door edge guards, a package that ranges from $900 at one dealer to $1600 at another dealer. Whats up with that? Is this a standard practice?

Thanks in advance for your response.

pochiraju

Does the $1200 dealer incentive end in April? Too early to tell if it will be extended as it was for this month?

temj12

I opted to not go for the warranty because of the reputation of Honda. I have an '05 Accord EX-L with 95,000 miles. I have done nothing to this car so I came out better. It is a roll of the dice, but I would personally not buy the warranty. The dealers like to sell this because it is big money for them.

temj12

Those add-ons cost the dealer very little. They are high profit items. I paid almost nothing for the add-ons. They had a stripe, splash guards, a sun visor with the sunroof. If I had to pay any thing close to what they were asking, I would not have bought the car.

pochiraju

thank u so much vivianne101. please can u tell me if ur price includes all fee and taxes.

I just got EX-L V6 without Nav black on black for 27455 OTD.... I had another dealer quote 27135 OTD, but didn't wanna haggle anymore.
Dealer is Jeff Sheng at Open Road Honda, Edison NJ. He's a good guy and fairly honest.
They threw in free wheel locks and your choice of third party remote starter( which I chose) versus 3 years free oil change.

zatires

Why do people keep on posting OTD prices?

Every state has different tax rate, every dealer has different fees.

Please post price paid that includes the shipping but excludes tax title and fees. That will mean a lot more for those looking at this forum and try to get a better pricing structure.

imolam3

Dealers can offer a lower base price, and then adding thousands in dealer's fees/documents so you end up paying more than others who paid higher car base price. IMO, The best thing is to list the OTD but itemize your Tax/Title cost, this way we know how much dealers should charge for [Base+Dest+Options+Dealers fees]. this will limit dealers from ripping buyers off with their hidden fees.

I finally purchased my 2010 Honda Accord EX-L (Mystic Green with Black interior) w/o Navi for $24424 (including dealer installed accessories - door guard, wheel lock, wheel guard and mud flaps). Dealer located the car 100 miles away. No extra charge. Tax is 9% + title.

Overall very happy with the car and the service at Bellevue Honda, Bellevue, WA is phenomenal.

zatires

Does 24424 include tax and title?

srrji

No tax & title is extra. Tax rate

hypermile

sorry, i guess I shoulda itemized things
24261 for exl-v6
710 for destination
7% tax in NJ

tex18

When will we know if Honda extended this??

pochiraju

thanks so much.

Hey guys i recently bought a certified pre owned 08 accord EX coupe with auto tranny. Paid 19,900 OTD in central west florida. it has 27,500 miles on it. I totalled my 06 accord coupe and was in a bit of a time crunch so i took advantage of the special apr financing honda had for the certified. I know this wasnt a great deal but since i was in a bit of a hurry i was looking for a fair deal. What do you guys think?

stup123

Can you let me know the dealership name and the final OTD price

Is it with navigation?
I stay in South FL and need EX L w/o navigation

any pointers?

hypermile

hmmm, not sure, just call up a few dealerships to negotiate, they never specifically mentioned the dealer incentive to me as part of the price reduction. I personally don't think it should really matter anyway, you should pay as much as you believe is reasonable for a car given what others have paid.

stup123

In FLL,I went to dealership today

for EX-L black without navigation and I4
Final OTD was 25,500..I walked out

Do you think I can do better?whats the price I should pay..I am thinking it should be under $24k..any pointers

jones101

under 24K OTD it is tough. If you do 24K OTD. Your got the deal.

pochiraju

hi all,
i am planning to buy accord lx. best price i got is 19200+dmv. this is w/o tax.

i read on this forum that ppl are able to get it from 18500-19000 but i am not finding that price at all.

please can u let me know if this is ok deal.

thank u
sandy

gutha

I bought LX-P for 19100 on Apr 30. Includes the 710 destination charges from BOCH Honda, MA

pochiraju

is there is a huge price difference between east and west coast dealerships?

i am in west coast - OR. we donot have sales tax here. so is this the reason?

i am not able to get a lower price from any of the dealerships around OR/WA.

thank you,
sandy

bluesz2k

Got quote for Accord LX, AT, base model for 18500.

with 6.5% tax + title and registration

Out of the door 20150.

Is title and registration fee charged by dealer or the state DMV?

If by the former, how much is it reasonable?

Thanks

joer2001

$18,500.00? WOW I want one! what dealership? That's a great deal!

pochiraju

hi all,

finally, after much debating between camry and accord, i purchased accords LX today. my main concern with camry was obviously the whole recall thing happening otherwise i prefer camry for its features and low noise levels. but safety is more important so i went with accord.

coming to price - i went through postings in this forum from march onwards and made list of prices for lx and had a target price in mind.

i did through internet rather than going directly to the dealership.

i realized that dealers where i live - OR, were not willing to really budge unless you send them quote from another dealer. so i suggest to do most of the shopping through emails so that you can have quotes which you can then forward to other dealerships to beat the price.

so finally i got LX for 18600+ dmv (=350 in OR for 4 yrs)= 18950 OTD. this price does not include tax as OR does nt hv sales tax.

thanks so much...this forum really helped.

thank you,
sandy

brat7705

Under 24k would be close to impossible IMHO. Price around 22,600 +/- 200 before taxes and plates for an EX-L no Navi is an awesome deal. Mine was 22,618 and its gone down to 22, 414$ now at that dealership in VA. However at that price you are not eligible for special 0.9 or 1.9% APR. According to ZAG 22,418 is "This price is the lowest price nationwide from 160 Certified Honda dealers".

Hope this helps.

stup123

Thanks
I got 25K OTD price..new tag,6% tax

so what would be the numbers?22414+ 6% tax + tag?
Should we add destination also?

brat7705

Destination charges included in the 22,618$ quote for me.

stup123

Thank you

Here comes the newer update.Delaer tells me that the price is highly discounted and may promotions are diff from April
So at this price,we cant expect the Honda's promotional APR..Are they trying to rip me off?

so quoting 25k and will have to go via some other financing as Honda APR cannot be claimed..to reduce the price he is asking for any proof of somebody purchasing it at a lower price..any help and suggestions plz?

brat7705

If you look back at my post #25173. The price 22,418$ is NOT eligible for promotional APR (Says so on ZAG pricing). My purchase for 22,618$ back on the 16th April was approved for 1.9% for 60 mo for EX-L no NAVI.

My 2 cents:
You can ask for price with 1.9%
or
You can get APR% from your personal bank and use that as leverage to bargain with dealer!
