I bought the car today at Honda of Spring. $23083 plus TTL and destination. Brought the Out the door price to $25,899.
The car has no dealer add ons. Zero. Really. Every other dealership I dealt with in Houston applied stuff to the car no matter what.
I negotiated the price online, and he stuck with it. Got the 0.9% financing, and the finance department was painless enough. Told me about GAP, maintenance plans, all that crap. But was easy with a no thank you.
Arrived at the dealer 11am, left before 1pm. I think I got a good price, and a decent enough experience.
One note of interest. I work part time, ($15k a year) which means I have the time to deal with dealerships and drive around. But I am not the breadwinner. My husband is. The Spring Dealership is a good 80 miles from his work. So we were expecting me to go in, check it out, and leave if something went wrong. (Not wasting my husband's work day) Or wait for him to come from work to sign for the financing (jointly) since I don't make the income.
I have a 800 Fico score. They financed it all to me. Did not need to apply jointly like we expected.
You did a great job - hope it didn't hurt hubby's ego - haha.
Congrats and enjoy your new Honda!!

I got the following deal from Fairfax Honda for a lease Honda Accord 2017 LX.
This is the deal I got first and I signed it as well.
But after 3 weeks, they contacted me again and said that they would like me to sign another lease agreement as they were unable to provide the money factor that was stated earlier.
Since they knew I would not agree to sign another contract since I already got the car, they increased the money factor but reduced the cost of the car to provide me with the same monthly payment. Below is the new deal.
Please share your thoughts if this is a good deal or not since this was my first experience getting a new car. So please be very frank and share your thoughts since I would like to learn from this experience.
Note that I had no credit score so my uncle was a co-signer who had a credit score of > 800.
Thanks.
Looks like the dealer made a mistake on the money factor and needs to correct the paperwork. They are doing the right thing though by lowering the sale price to keep your payment the same.
You got a very good deal by the way at about 23% off msrp even with doc fee added in.
Almost $4k below invoice - nice!
Congrats and enjoy your new Honda!!

So, last night, I drove off the lot with a 2017 Accord Touring (Modern Steel)... no big deal
Sale price $29,563.37
docs $80
taxes $2445.58
fees $352.75
OTD $32442.70
flex cash ($500) <--- Used for down payment
technically, the quote was $31,943.70 OTD but they, for some reason, could only apply flex cash towards down payment... I didn't argue, by this time I was already at the dealership for 6 hours...

Flex cash seems to be an extra $500 (dealer cash) towards your down payment. When the dealer quotes you they insinuate the price is $500 lower but in reality it's like a payment.
Deal included $500 flex cash, which is basically Honda basically giving the dealership $500 if the purchaser finances through Honda Financial, which is what I did (they have a .9 percent promo for 60 months). Got this at Galpin Honda in southern california. E-mailed 14 dealers and they came up with the best price by about $300.
From my experience nearly 4 years, not all dealers will have Flex cash. It is applied towards the down payment of a purchase when you finance through Honda Financial Services (HFS). Hence before negotiating the sale price of a car, find out what dealer(s) have Flex cash. Then, focus on negotiating the sale price without Flex cash into account.
Fyi, the money comes from Honda so do not let any dealers tell you otherwise. Flex cash does run out, so make sure you take advantage of it if you plan to buy before the 2018 models are on dealer lots.
Very nice deal - great job!
Congrats and enjoy your new Accord!!

Hi. Wasn't your true price the new 28,169.33 with the flex cash? Or did the dealership incorporate that into the discount? My understanding wasn't Flex cash wasn't completely separate from purchase price.
I had a followup question that is not specific to my car but in general leasing a car.
At the end of the lease, if I decide to buyout, why do people say that it would cost a lot more as compared to financing the car in the first place? how exactly would I be paying more if I decide to buyout?
Thanks again guys.
Possibly higher rate financing the buyout as a used car vs. low new car finance rates.

Paying cash vs.financing changes the result, but that isn't apples to apples.
You could just pay all cash for the car when new, and that would be the lowest cash outlay of all, but it's not a fair comparison.

Hello, you are correct that the Flex cash is considered separate from the purchase price. My true purchase price was still $28,679 - the quote received from the dealer included that $500 in the discount savings. When I actually went to sign the paper work, the purchase price was approximately $500 higher than what was quoted in my screenshot above, but then the $500 flex cash was applied as a down payment. Total financed price was still the same as quoted above,

There's not much pricing info I have on your area . You need to do some homework yourself for pricing.
Use the Honda dealerater for your area and outside the metro area. Once you make a list of 10 to 15 dealerships
Email / call targeted dealerships Internet dept. / mgrs. for there best price. POST BACK WHAT PRICING YOUR RECIEVING AND WILL TAKE A LOOK .
Try to buy vehicle... last 2 days, last day of this month. That's where your best deal and lowest price will be with the two dealerships I mentioned.

Yes, 7% in Indiana:) Think it would be any better towards the end of the month? The other dealers were 23,500 and wouldn't budge! Thanks!
Beats me..
