Good luck.
My mother in law is looking for a Honda Accord LX, auto without Honda sensing. She recieved a quote for 19,499 or 18,999(financing through Honda). Can she improve on the price? She is located in Sacramento and is willing to drive about to bay area for a better deal. Thanks everyone.
$19,499 PUTS YOU @2661 BELOW INVOICE...... If dealer added the destination charge of $895
$18,999 PUTS YOU @3161 BELOW INVOICE IF DEALER HAS ADDED IN THE 895 DESTINATION FEE ............... BUY BUY BUY ................ its a no brainer

Email / call all dealerships internet mgrs. or request a E-price thru dealer websites. That's how you can get a idea on your area's pricing. then post back some numbers so we could take a look
Send dealers a quick message especially if you don't know your area's pricing on Accords. List your desired make model and color . If no other accessories are wanted in vehicle tell each dealer. .
Sample email ( this should start up your initial dealer negotiations)
Hi Joe's Honda ( or get the Int. mgr. name and email thru dealership then send out email. )
I'm gathering prices from multiple dealerships in the area and would like to know if your dealership would meet my price of XXX below invoice price.... OR ask dealers for there lowest sale price that includes the destination charge of $895. (Do not ask for OTD #'s yet this is only the 1st step in initial pricing and negotiations ) I will be buying at the end of the month . I will finance this vehicle if it gets me a better price. unless your leasing. My credit score is xxx. Best contact is this email only .
Once you have narrowed down the best dealers and deals at month end then you negotiate your lowest price. And all OTD Numbers....... which are mainly Taxes , Tags, and dealers doc fee charge.
If you want to go with a email that tells all your targeted dealers X price gets my business today. That call or email can be sent out in 2 weeks.

Does any one has a dealer to refer me to for a ex-l hybrid close to $28000? thanks
OTD pricing does not help us. Can you break down your deal by listing:
MSRP of the car:
Sale Price (without any dealer add-ons):
Dealer accessories (if any):
Documentation fees:
Any other fees:

thanks
Again, you need to ask the dealer to list out all the fees. If you have no clue what the doc fees are or what other fees you are been charged, then move on to the next dealer. IMO.
Before you walk into the dealership and sign the sale papers, you want to know what every line item is so that you are not surprised when it is time to sign on the dotted line.
Good luck.
It sounds like they are playing games after the OTD price was negotiated (vehicle + doc). Any information would help.
My plan is to buy a vehicle within the next few months. I would be curious how the dealerships hand these requests now as well. When I get into negotiations I was planning on asking the question as well.
Try Boch Honda or Honda Cars of Boston.
I think the question is more of is it a state law that MA dealerships are required to complete the out of state registration if you finance with them directly and not with your bank? The only exception I've been told is if you pay cash, you can do the registration yourself.
I've been hearing different comments from different dealerships in MA and if anyone has experience for a MA purchase but out of state registration, it would be helpful.
BTW, what state are you in?
@brian125 should be able to help, since he is one of the Car Gurus on this forum.
(I'm sorry. I know there's a 2016 thread, but I assumed it was kind of dead now.)
The cheapest place I'm looking at is Chicago (Nada's invoice is 24,723 for there, zip 60525).
So we are going to lease and we also have a car to 'trade' that should have a bit of positive equity in it based on my research. One written offer at 18K for that ($500 pos. equity). I have heard back from 4 dealers. 2 w very specific numbers and lots of details, 1 that gave us the price listed on their website and failed twice to supply the requested detail on lease numbers. and 1 other that isn't really that competive yet. here is the best one so far:
Accord 4 dr EX without sensing
MSRP 27,505
Sales Price 22,260
Doc fee 495
Acq fee 595
Lic fee 20
cap fee 42
Gross Cap cost 23,392
Customer cash $500 (This dealer does not know we have positive equity yet so I guess he is assuming we will pay that upfront)
Net Cap cost 23168
Total cap reduction 223.98
looks like total upfront charges 513.44 (500 customer cash plus 1st month minus the 223.98 cap reduction)
Remaining payments of 262.58
we want to move below the 250/mo mark. I know this is prices paid forum. I understand the lease info and have confirmed the deal above is using the appropriate MF and RV. I am thinking our next move is to ask for a specific deal from the 3 dealerships who have what we want in stock. Is it reasonable to ask other dealers to provide 18.5k on the trade and hit a sales price of 22K even? Should I expect better or no? Thanks for any guidance you can offer.
Ask in Edmunds Real world Trade Forum what your Trades worth. Getting 22k is a good target price , but if you cant get 22k your offer now as stands is solid at almost @2500 below invoice price. once your armed with pricing from both sides of this deal go visit the 3 dealers and negotiate your trade in price.

2. $22772
3. $22960
All with doc fees ($150-$200), no TTL.
One Chicago dealer said they didn't have a 2016 but gave me a quote for a 2017 (not including doc fee,but I think IL's max is $170ish)
$23,237
All of Chicago's prices were from dealers you've recommended.

I have 2 payments left on my leased Nissan Altima, Thinking of jumping ship after 12 years with Nissan.
My wife and I love the Accord EXL, and wanting it to be our next car, however, I'm not sure what is the best course of action for us,
If we elect to get an other Nissan, it is an easy transaction, Nissan will even take care of my last 2 payments, if I ask a Honda dealer to take it in trade it will effect my overall deal, the third option seems logical but probably the most expensive too, and that is to just drop it off at lease end and start new deal with Honda.
The problem is that I will have to replace the tires and fix some body scrapes in order for car to pass end of lease inspection, plus pay a disposition fee if applicable ( not sure about it)
Any guidance is greatly appreciated

All of the above were 2016 accord sport with sensing.
The $23,237 was a 2017 sport with sensing.
Herb Chambers Honda wants to charge me $400 for them to provide the service of completing the registration for me
Lowest price locally is $28,897 + $599 Doc fee, + 3% Tax and License (approx $100).
Price was emailed through Edmunds quote service.
It's hard to determine by the quote if the $875 Destination cost is included or not.
What do you all think of the deal ?
I know if you buy at Bosch Honda they charge $250 for there service.
If I'm buying a vehicle out of any state the most important questions you need to know before buying are .
1- Dealerships Doc fee charge ?
2- All Dealer fee's for out of state DMV / Taxes paid etc. (Ask each dealer how they do it )

LOL. Thanks Brian! Your knowledge and input is invaluable!
If not your at $2438 below invoice which is still a good price for the NC area. I compensated the high doc fee... ( $599 ) to figure these prices

I'm looking to buy an Accord EX-L Sedan Automatic this weekend (end of Month) and planning to email several dealers with a request for quote Friday and then try to negotiate down the price on Sat/Sun.
One question is on the graduate program. My spouse will be graduating with a post-grad degree soon. Is the Honda graduate program difficult to deal with? I read the rules and disclaimers and my conclusion is that any finance rep wanting to avoid could bump this out. It requires proof of promised employment plus proof of recent or pending graduation. Plus it says "participating dealers only."
On the graduate program -- is this a Honda Finance provided rebate so I don't have to include in my initial negotiation and can bring this up late in the process? If it isn't coming off the dealer's take, then they should be theoretically unconcerned about this... or not?
Does anyone have good/bad experiences in the Riverside, CA area or recommended contacts?

I'm looking to buy a '17 Accord Touring this week in the NC market.
Lowest price locally is $28,897 + $599 Doc fee, + 3% Tax and License (approx $100).
Price was emailed through Edmunds quote service.
It's hard to determine by the quote if the $875 Destination cost is included or not.
What do you all think of the deal ?
The deal outlined above is best dealer. High volume too. No one else has stepped up. I have worked email and phone calls. Several said they wouldn't even match my price ..$32,434 Otd.
They have in stock .. On this deal above .. they said it is lowest.
We are in the market for a 2017 Accord EX with Sensing. This is the quote I have, wondering if I can get it down to less than 26k OTD
MSRP $28505
Price quotes I am getting are 23,300-24,000 before destination fees and add ons.
Tax stays steady at $1550
OTD prices range from $26,600-$26,200 (depending on what ad ons I can get them to discount/remove)
Wondering if I can get this below $26k OTD, since 5 of these quotes in the same city are so tight. Basically asking if its realistic to get another $700 or more off where they are coming from.
I read that some here say 15% off MSRP is a good deal. Is that before destination charges? If so, I'm already under that threshold. I'm just wondering what more is realistic.
Do you plan to finance through Honda Financial Services (HFS) or pay cash? Dealers like it if you finance through them/HFS so that they can make some "extra" money.
However, if you are in no rush to buy the car then I will suggest using some of the techniques outlined in this forum and maybe reach out to out-of-state dealers that might be close to you.
Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.

Thanks .. I have followed much of the techniques. What a great site!
So I have been working all the dealers on email and phone.
Called and said what you suggested asking for another $500 off to make the deal today.. he said he can take $200 more off. $32,235.
Lets get @tony_va dealer........................ by June you may strike gold . His deal is $3399 below Invoice if dealers numbers are correct

I'm looking for Honda Sport Model with Honda sensing in orange count/LA area and was wondering if anybody recently bought one & total OTD price? Im getting quotes right and want to get advise on which dealer is good or easy to work with. Thanks for the help.
The best deal I have received in writing so far was for $3,198 below invoice before doc fees ($2,799 after doc fees). However, the dealer did not have my color combo in stock. Hence, I did not try to negotiate. Most MA dealers are not yet offering any huge discounts this early in the year. I have seeing some great prices from Boch Honda, but their pricing seem to fluctuate depending on the website you are looking at.
I wished I could take a trip down to VA or MD if prices creep closer to $4k below invoice by fall for a '17 Touring. However, I have a trade-in so that might complicate things.
@brian125 - At this rate, I might end up waiting for the release of 2018 models and see if any deals can be made locally. If not this year, then maybe next year but I am also looking at other brands in the Touring price range. I will keep you posted.
Thanks again for your insight.
Do you mind sharing the name of the dealer? I am curious to see their pricing on a '17 Touring model. You can PM if you want.
