Buying a 2014 model could save you 2000 to 2500 below dealers invoice price where buying the 2015 model may be priced at invoice or a few dollars higher. Make your best deal between both models if your interested in a 2014. Ask dealers for pricing for both years then negotiate down from there initial sales numbers.
Supply and demand and your area will dictate pricing. Get as many dealerships involved as far as your willing to travel to. This will help you make the best deal.
Your 2015 models target price range should be Invoice price to 500 below and 2000 to 2500 dollars below on the 2014 model. Some buyers will do better than these prices I posted but most fall into this price range. Check to see incentives and rebates on both models?
good luck in your search

Just bought a 2015 Honda Accord EX-L V6 (w/out navigation) and thought I would share my pricing.
MSRP including destination: 31,315
Invoice including destination: 28,710 (per edmunds)
internet price: 26,972
Doc fee: 369
Total selling price: 27,341
So 28,710 invoice - 26,972 - 369= 1,369 under invoice
We showed up w/an old car to trade (got the price above before mentioning any trade) so subtracted another 1700 from the selling price before adding in 6% sales tax and title/registration. Went with the 0.9% financing over 60 months.
Was very happy with this deal. I live VT and no one in this state or NH could get within 1600 of this price. We bought from Boch Honda in Norwood, MA. I think their pricing reflects the large volume they sell (this was their original offer to me when I called on the phone to the internet department…no haggling and I didn't try as I felt this was more than fair). They claim to be the largest honda dealer in the world.
The only negative was the final transaction at the dealer. They didn't change any numbers but were very unprofessional and rude to us. They also displayed gross incompetence in all levels of finishing the sale, which should have been straight forward as I had gone over all the final steps w/other sales staff in advance. Won't give all the details because not worth reliving. It was like closing your car deal in the midway of a carnival.

Yes, all email or phone for contacts for me. I do the research up front, test drive, etc, and then once I've decided on the car and trim level, I just email or call directly and ask for a best OTD price for the exact car (preferably one in their inventory) with all costs broken down. This time around nearly all the people I contacted were very professional and straightforward (no hard sell tactics at all). I appreciate that tremendously. If Boch hadn't been so good on their price out of the gate I would have done what Brian suggests and kept at a few dealerships until the end of the month and taken the best to be had at that point. Glad I didn't have to invest the energy to take it that far though!
We are absolutely loving the car.
Good luck to all.
Excellent posting...... A must read for a new car buyer. Most of the key points that web page talks about are detailed here in this forum by me over and over again..
Being prepared, doing your homework 1st is very important. Buying right at the end of the month is how you make the best possible Car deal. Using the Internet to do your negotiating is a great starting point then closing the deal via phone calls to dealerships Internet Managers is how you close deal with pricing .

Paid $22300 + tax and license fees =$24,400 OTD.
The Truecar price was $23,618- I probably could have pushed harder for a few hundred more off. Glad the deal is done
This is a good deal on a 2015 model. 1100 below dealers invoice price. We have seen prices like this in MA, MD, and VA, and I had one buyer email me from SF for 1000 below dealers invoice.
I'm wonder if a College incentive was implied along with the 500 cash incentive to this deal.
Right now most Dealers in CT, NY, NJ, PA , and DE wont come close to this deal on a 2015 model.
Midwest dealers are at invoice price.... not enough sales data to tell at this point

Thanks for the information Brian125. It's always good to hear that you didn't get taken to the cleaners!

I was quoted $23,646.00 including destination for an Accord 2015 EX. Also, I was quoted $25,698.00 for the Accord 2015 EX-L. I live in Los Angeles area so he told me with fees and everything else I should just add on about 10.5%. Could somebody let me know if either one of these are a good deal and if I have any more room to bargain? Also, which one would be my best option in this case?
1st deal is at 808 dollars below dealers invoice price on the ex model and 1120 dollars below on the exl model. There might be more saving by waiting till the very end of this month.
What you need to do is find out exactly what the rest of the OTD fees are from this dealership.
10.5% is not a good answer unless salesman breaks down what 10.5% =
Your OTD fee's should be............. Taxes / Tags plus the your states regulated doc fee charge of 80 dollars. Maybe a small internet or tire disposal fee etc.
Good luck .................... Post name of dealership and details when you complete sale.

please post price breakdown for a response. OTD pricing gives no info on your deal. Read prior posts on deal breakdowns.
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
2015 exl, cvt. invoice = 25,997 plus 820 dest / charge = $26,817
Make sure this dealer has applied the destination charge to this deal. This is a good deal @1072 dollars below invoice price .. Dealers doc fee's are 80 bucks putting this deal just below 1k below dealers invoice price. Good buy in the bay area.
Did you receive this quote via email????? or did you call and negotiate this price down some???

Manheim values are simply a compilation of date on sold vehicles. Their data is quite broad and at times can have very little effect on what a dealer wants to give you on a trade in. It is however, at minimum, a guide for the range the dealer should consider to offer as a trade because with enough vehicles being sold it does state statistical averages of the values of cars across the country.
The problem with Manheim values or "MMR" as it is known in the industry, todays climate on what a car is worth is no longer driven by just miles and condition. Here are some of the many factors that would affect MMR and then followed by some that would affect a dealer's trade in value:
MMR
1. Geographic Availability (4x4 trucks bring much more in Colorado than in Florida)
2. Export (Specific color and production date very important as well as equipment) This one is the hardest to understand and track at times and has the most variations for value. In the USA, we use model year designation to designate the year. Overseas they use the production date in the door jam. In other words, a vehicle built in Dec 2009 and a vehicle built in Jan 2010 are both 2010 models years to us. But most countries that import vehicles identify the first vehicle as a 2009 and the second as a 2010. If a vehicle has 130k miles and another one has 75k miles, they are typically worth the same overseas for export since they pull out the dash and replace with new dashes when they refurbish and/or convert to kilometers for resale. Those vehicles can have a $10k difference in value in the USA on trade-in vs. auction value unless the dealer is privy to this process. There are at least 3 or 4 other export conditions but this could become a book very easily.
3. Equipment - The auction only states year, make, model, color & miles. It does not have additional equipment such as navigation, wheel size, sport package, etc. On some vehicle such as BMW & especially Porsche, that could affect the value by $10 to as mush as $20k on a Porsche.
4. Vehicle Color - Self explanatory. White, Black Silver Charcoal etc. are very good colors in most cars. Burgundy. green, blue not so good. This is mostly at an auction.
5. Auction seller. A bank has their own lane (i.e. Porsche Financial Services sells Porsches one after the other so there would be many interested Porsche dealers seeking out their cars for sale.) Franchise dealers sell in dealer consignment lanes. (i.e. a Lexus dealer that took a very nice 2012 Porsche in on trade would be selling in a totally different lane or location in the auction therefore not having as good of a chance to get top dollar for their car at the auction.
6. Time of year. 4x4's fetch top dollar in the winter and much less in the summer. Convertibles do great in the spring and summer but sell for less in the winter. Since dealers consult MMR as a guide this certainly affects a dealer's trade in value as well.
Dealer Trade In
1. How many of what you have to trade in do they already own for resale.
2. Checking your car on the rack for recon
3. If it is their product or not. (A Porsche dealer will give you much more for a Porsche trade in than the BMW dealer even though al cars have a relative "ACV" in the market [Actual Cash Value]).
4. Geographic location for the dealer. This strongly affects their ability to market and resell your trade so you might want to consider their current vehicles for sale and how they are priced in the market. It isn't always a lineal comparison but a dealer who is asking more for their car usually pays more for their trades.
Hope all this helps.

The Manheim numbers most accurately reflect what's happening. With the advent of the internet, dealers can monitor half a dozen Manheim auto auctions simultaneously and in real time. "You say you're trading your uh... Altima? Well, okay. Oops. Enterprise just dumped 4,150 Altima's from their fleet. That hurts..." :

23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
MSRP $23,695
Fleet/Internet Price $20367 (includes $820 dest fee)
Tax $1636
Title $232
Doc Fee $80
Other Calif fees $38.75
OTD Price $22,354
This seems to be about $1630 below invoice of $21,996 (from Consumer Reports/Edmunds, etc and including dest charge).
I expect to finalize the deal tomorrow and see if I can get maybe another $100-$200 off or get them to include floor mats, wheel locks or free oil changes or whatever.
Is this a good deal and am I trying to squeeze too hard?
Thanks!
Is your above deal a 2014 or 15 model lx ??? Numbers seem off. I will check.
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
$20,967 plus dest/ charge $820 = 21,787.
Tom,
If your posted sales numbers are correct your sale price is 1420 below dealers invoice price minus the 80 dollar doc fee charge. This is a very good deal. The best to date on a 2015 model. If you could squeeze this dealers for Mats, locks, or 3 or 4 oil changes is just................... ICING on this deal.
Post name of dealership and details after sale tomm.
good luck

Did you know it cost Toyota 1000 dollars less to manufacturer its Camry opposed to Honda and its Accord
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Here's something I just found out: Toyota's net worth is 250 billion, twice that of Honda!
Toyota is the top-selling automaker in the world. Again. Still. With total reported sales, including those from subsidiaries, of 9.98 million in 2013, Toyota's performance was enough to outpace rival General Motors by around 270,000 vehicles. That's a 2.4-percent gain over 2012, and it makes Toyota the top-seller two years in a row. Still, the gap between the top three is shrinking – Toyota held a 460,000-unit lead in 2012.
GM sold 9.71 million vehicles last year, a four-percent increase, coming in second place ahead of Volkswagen, which sold around 9.5 million. According to Bloomberg, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda said his company managed to win the sales race while also remaining more profitable than GM or VW.
It's going to be another interesting year in 2014 as the three behemoth automakers vie for the title of World's Largest. Toyota has predicted that it will increase sales in 2014 to 10.32 million – which would make Toyota the first automaker ever to surpass 10 million global sales – though General Motors and VW are expected to again fight for the lead in the massive Chinese market.

Toyota has said it would start selling the world's first mass market fuel-cell car in Japan next month and elsewhere in 2015, in what its top executive called an industry milestone.
The four-door Mirai sedan, powered by hydrogen and emitting nothing but water vapour from its tailpipe, will launch with a price tag of 6.7 million yen ($57,500) in Japan, where Toyota expects to sell 400 units next year.
The car -- whose name means "future" in Japanese -- will hit the US and some European countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany and Denmark, in 2015,

Closed the deal today and here are the final numbers - based on info on this and other boards, I think I got a terrific deal.
2015 Accord LX sedan, 4 cyl, CVT, no added options
MSRP 23725
Dealer price 19949 (includes dest fee)
Tax 1602
Doc fee 80
Electronic transfer fee 29
Other official fees 239 (tax,title, tires, smog, etc)
OTD price 21899
After a little more negotiating, was able to get a final price even better than what I originally posted. Several dealers actually came down to this price point but I finally went with a guy I liked at a local dealership who was very pleasant to deal with. Dealership was Weir Canyon Honda in Anaheim. For icing (not that it was needed), got a future free oil change. Found out mats were included after all.
Was pre-approved for loan, but went with better Honda financing of 0.9% for 5 yrs. Finance manager said deal was so good he didn't even bother offering me gap insurance. In and out of dealership in about 2 1/2 hrs.
I am one very happy camper. I expect there to be even better deals in Dec, but I am happy to be done with mine.
PS. Brian, found out why the invoice numbers were off. Edmunds, Truecar and Consumer Reports all list the invoice as 21996 or 7. Their invoice numbers include a 210 "other" fee which is probably due to my location in SoCal and is maybe for regional, advertising or some such other mysterious fee, since you have to put in your zip code to get a quote.
Post your 2015 deals, post name of dealerships, Area, and your experience good or bad. We want to know.
good luck today

Dealer price - 24688
Doc fee - 80
Tax - 2352
License - 239 (tax,title, tires, smog, etc)

Gard Discount - 500 ( Reduced this from the financed amount, but not from the original cost)
The closest quote during the Black Friday was $24725 ( Livermore Honda)

You waited... played the game with these dealers and nailed it on your 2015 model.
Invoice price on your model.... Exl, 4cyl. with the 820 dest /charge = 26,817.
So your deal if I read it correctly was 24,688 including dest charge. A Very nice deal was made here. The best so far at 2,129 below dealers invoice minus the 80 dollar doc fee.
@scoutleader up in MA is looking at similar numbers.
The ( SF bay area ) has fabulous pricing on Accords right now. Your good negotiation tactic's paid dividends.
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
All negotiations were done via email/phone. Did not step foot into dealer until final price was agreed on then just went in to sign papers and pick up car. This is what Brian and other websites recommend you do. You don't have much leverage when you go visit them and it can be very time consuming, although some people live for the haggling process. I'm not one of those people.
I am currently in the market to buy a 2015 accord EX-L with Navigation in SF Bay Area
Saw the recent comments from Uday3 & brian125. But I need EX-L with Navi. So my question is how much extra do I need to pay for the Navigation?
What would be the invoice for EX-L with Navi .
thanks
15 exl, w/ nav invoice =.......... $27,615......( dest. charge of 820 not incl.)
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
edit: Another dealer came in at $23,316 OTD. Didn't apply $500 graduate credit yet either.
Now that it is the beginning of the month, I wonder how well an internet quote would hold up? What are my chances of them actually honoring the quote?
