My advice will be if you really want to buy a 2017 model, you could start reaching out to dealers at the end of this month or at the end of next month (so that you can have your pick of color combo, etc..). However, if you are in no rush to buy then wait till the 2018 models are actually on dealer lots. Then, you should be able to get great deals on 2017 models. Just remember that, the longer you wait the fewer options for color combination and trim level you will have.
Are you looking to buy a 4 cylinder or a V6? What state are you located in? Have you tried some of the tactics suggested in this forum? Maybe pricing in your area might not be best. Have you tried expanding your search area further or tried reaching out to out of state dealers? If you feel you are getting ripped off, then I would not suggest buying a car right now (unless you really need one).

MSRP / Invoice pricing for a 4 cylinder EX-L with navi and sensing are: $31,795 / $29,152

Hence, the more below invoice you are the better. Also find out what dealer doc fees are. Some states such as FL charge very high doc fees. If you plan to finance through Honda, find out whether these dealers have flex cash ($500 towards your down payment). Not all dealers will have it and it does run out.
Hope this info helps and good luck.
Too bad dealers in MA are not looking to deal.
And yes, I can confirm that pricing was indeed for V6.

I asked the salesman before I drove off in my new car how much the "end of the month" played into the deal. He said that if they had met their numbers for the month it wouldn't matter, but in this dealer's case they hadn't. So they were more willing to bargain. I was working with four dealers via email, none of the others would budge below $27,500 for a sale price. Perhaps they met their "numbers" for the month? Just a guess.
As dkg11 suggested, I held my ground in the finance room and said NO to all add ons. The marketing push I received was polished and well-presented. Almost making me feel like I was making a mistake by saying "NO".
Thanks to dkg11 for posting a baseline bargain to go after. And to brian125 for sound advice on this forum.

In the lease forums they talk about 1,000 lease cash and 1,000 dealer credit anyone having success on purchase getting part of the dealer credit?
I've emailed a few dealers here in Maryland for some prices on a Sport Se with the 6mt and no replies. It's been two days. Dealers I hit up about 2 months ago actually. I guess they don't feel like there is any incentive to move them. They've been on the lot for months now. Not new inventory.
Oh well! I'll just wait.

EX-L MSRP / Invoice : $32,905 / $30,087
Touring MSRP / Invoice: $35,955 / $32,869
People have reported getting the Hybrid Touring for $28,500-29,500 and Hybrid EX-L for $26-27k (not including TTL) since the end of last year.
I've only spoken about pricing so far with the dealer I test drove this car at. When I mentioned this pricing they basically told me to take a hike because they'd be losing money at $6-7k off msrp. Are dealers taking a loss to get some cars off their lots, I'm in Chicago, maybe I will end up shopping outside the state.
I'm looking to purchase 2017 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan and reached out to couple of dealers in Saint Louis.
One of the dealer offered me the following price(Best out of all).
MSRP : $29,795
OTD: $24180 (This Price included Doc Fee 199$, Car Fee, Accessories $795) excludes the Tax.
All I need to pay the Tax for the above price($24180).
They are offering 0.9% for 60 Months if I can purchase the vehicle by EOD today i.e. 07/05/2017.
Is this a good price to buy today or should I wait for the 2018 Model.
Please let me and appreciate if you can reply ASAP.
Thanks,

I was quoted 24,329.79 from Pohanka honda in Fredericksburg,Virginia. About a 1k less. And I did not qualify for the 500.00 college rebate or military one either. That was about 2 months ago too. Someone bought an EX-L V6 Sedan in Maryland this past month for 27,073.00 out the door. Which is close to 4.5k more msrp. It will all be based on inventory in your area. But, you should be able to get them down much more. And is there any extras added on to the vehicle(pinstriping,mud guards and etc)?
If you negotiate at the very end of the month ..getting another $300 / 500 should be be do-able. If dealers in your area are limited then make your best deal at the end of the month .. Good luck

IM me for further tips and buying advice / instructions if you want to go this route . I will walk you thru the details of the process and a email to send out to dealers .
Rochester dealers ........Ontario, Garber, and Ide Honda are the best dealers to target

@hondalady12345
Just an fyi; Dealer hold back and dealer rebates do not normally translate to savings to the buyer, since that money is for dealers to do as they please with it.
As brian125 has mentioned, knowing the invoice price of the car (not necessarily what the dealer actually paid, since we may never know) and figuring out pricing in your area is a start.
Buying at the end of the month and expanding your search to other dealers will help get you the best deal.
Btw, if you plan to finance through Honda, find out what dealers have flex cash. It is a $500 incentive provided by Honda towards your down payment. Not all dealers will have it and it does run out.
Hope this info helps.
Price for the EX sedan = $22,905
Dealer processing fee +75.00
Title and Registration fees +225
Inspection fee +10
NYS tire fee +12.50 - 322.50 costs in addition to price
Cost of car now: $23,227.50
Minus college grad money -500
New cost: $22,727.50
NYS taxes: 2004.19
OTD price: $24,731.69
I would most definitely appreciate input on this, as I think I'm pulling the trigger today. They have the only white one in the area. Most importantly, I would love to feel I did a good job dealing. I did email all four dealerships in the Buffalo area, but did not branch out to Rochester. I leased a 2017 Accord EX from the same dealership on black friday and got it for 35 payments of $259 OTD with no additional costs. They would love to keep my business.
Thanks again!
Is there any additional information you may want to share that might be helpful to anyone looking to purchase the same car?
