If after initial negotiations, dealer does not want to budge on price, tell them where you would want to be and wait for the phone to ring the last two days of the month.
Still in the market for a Accord?
PS: I've been holding back the fact that my friend is eligible for the grad discount because in MD, it's a taxed incentive (basically like extra down payment money) so it'll actually end up being $23986 if everything holds up
Trying to finalize a buy on a 2018 Accord LX in Connecticut by the end of the month. Dealer fees here are around $500, and my best out the door with tax (6.35), registration (200), and the fees is about $23,500... keep trying? Expand to New York and Boston metro? Right now I am just in CT and right over the border for pricing, but I don’t mind taking a ride.
thanks!!
Read prior posts on pricing then Send out email requests thru dealers websites in NJ. & PA . Let each dealership know X price gets your business Today. Most good deals last month were @2k below invoice price or within a few hundred below that @1700 to $1900 below invoice in NY, NJ, PA, DE area. Some posters got a few hundred below the 2k mark but there dealers doc fees were 300 plus.
DCH Academy in NJ, was over 2k below invoice last month on several models that I confirmed thru Internet manger last month ,if that helps you coming to NJ to buy . Depending on dealerships sales numbers/ supply of inventory , pricing will change from month to month on certain models. Pit dealers against each other next week.
@thistimeaccord what was the selling price minus all OTD fees in CT ?

After 16 years of owning various Accords (all of which I enjoyed) I am now really enjoying my Acura TLX.
Do you find wind noise / cabin noise better or worse than your newest Accord model.
Do you find the heater / air louder or lower than Accord models.
Is the workmanship / quality more noticeable in the TLX ?
MPG.... Accord- vs- TLX
Its a know fact the ELS stereo is one of the best.

Today, for instance, I was driving on the highway and my son happened to be in the back seat. We could carry on a conversation with quiet voices and hear each other easily.
As you know, the Accord is a quality car. But the TLX is definitely the next level in pretty much every way. The materials are nicer throughout and it's nicer in assembly quality. The glove box on my 2016 Accord, for instance, was just very slightly mis-aligned. It was very slight and didn't affect the functionality in the slightest, but there's nothing like that anywhere inside or outside of the TLX. My last Accord had even panel gaps on the outside as far as I could see, but the TLX is closer and more precise.
One surprise is that the highway mpg on the TLX seems to be slightly higher than the Accord. Maybe 1-2 mpg higher?
But the city mpg of the TLX seems to be maybe 1-2 mpg lower?
Of course, premium gas is needed for the Acura.
The ELS sound system is significantly beyond what you get in an Accord EXL. You can hear the difference in about two seconds. My wife had the Accord EXL which has a good system. But since I was moving up from an Accord EX it's a huge difference.
I did drive the 2018 Accord. I think it is the best midsize car around. But the TLX is even nicer than the 2018 Accord in most ways. The one way that the Accord is clearly better than the TLX is when it comes to rear seat room. The rear seat of the TLX is just fine, and the seats are very comfortable, but the back seat of the 2018 Accord is really spacious when it comes to rear legroom.
As you can tell, I'm glad I finally went with a luxury car rather than getting another Accord.
But again, the Accord is a great car! Sorry for this interruption of your regularly scheduled channel. Back to the Accord....
Thanks -- in CT best yet is:
Best Price First- $21,463
Conveyance Fee- $499
Taxes- $1,394
Registration- $188
Total OTD Price- $23,544
Just reached out to DCH as well--about 3 hours away and worth it if saving thousands--and the base price quoted was 19,839.00. Awaiting their out the door breakdown, and I am not sure if they will be able to register and deal with the CT taxes--or if that will be on me. Looks like I can expect a $500 dealer fee on top of that price... maybe around 21,830 OTD with CT tax and around 200 for CT registration.
I am looking for the honda Accord Sport in so cal. KBB has a invoice of $24,483 (based of zip 91602) what should I offer?!!! Like actual literal number. Im trying to get my payments below 300 /0 down/drive off.
The lowest selling price to get that number is 22780. Thats 1703 below invoice. What do you guys think! It's the end of the month. HELPPPPP.
I did not look at the 3 series or C class. Too pricey and they are pretty common in the Boston area. Btw, BMW is releasing a redesigned 3 series next year. I test drove an X3 just to see why it is so popular. It is a nice car but it is also pricey.
After researching features, trims, specs and pricing I decided to look into the Audi A4. It has nearly everything I am looking for in my next car. I test drove one a couple of weeks ago. Dealer made me an offer I could not refuse, and they have my color combo in stock. Since I need to sell/trade in my car, any deal will be contingent on what they offer me for my '13 Accord. We will see when I get it appraised tomorrow. I have a range in mind based on KBB figures and after contacting an auction expert. If they low ball me and we cannot come to an agreement, I am prepared to walk.
The only other car I might test drive (once it is released), is the VW Arteon. VW has said Q3, so my guess is September. Dealer I reached out to has no definite release date.
Worse case, I will keep my car for another year and start my search again.
Sorry for the long message, but I did not want to leave any info out.
Glad to hear you are enjoying your TLX. Is it a lease or did you buy it?
$24,483 minus $2000 = 22,483 minus 80 doc fee =........... $22, 403.
Email every dealer your willing to travel to , make phone calls tell all dealers you will buy today for $22,400 be firm negotiate thru weekend till the 31st if your number is not met .
Your negotiating a sale price for the vehicle, not a monthly payment . If you get 2080 below invoice price or a few hundred less your payment will be where you want them.

What price should I be aiming for on a 2018 Honda Accord EX? NYC area. Got quoted 25300 but want to know how much lower I should aim to go for.
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Taxes: 2245
Doc/DMV: 255
Total OTD: 27800
Extend your search getting more dealers involved NY & NJ . See if DCH Academy in NJ has a Ex model you may want.............. You will get one @2k below invoice at worse case
You want your target price to fall between $1600 below invoice to 2k below in NY ........this quote is $725 below invoice price .
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
2k below any models invoice in CA is about where most good deals are happening

I leased the TLX Tech. 3 years is a long time away, but right now I'm considering trying to buy it when the lease is up.
@john4545 And @jerseydevil negotiated for months before deciding to buy last month.

I will post details later in the A4 forum but my payments are $411/month (includes MA taxes and Audicare) with $2500 due at signing (covering first payment, fees and about $900 in cap reduction). The lease is for 3 years/10k miles per year.
Thanks @brian125, @1sebringnow and all the folks that helped me along the way.

So trying to land the 1.5 sport Manual in Atlanta. After visiting 4 dealerships the best deal I have come across to this point is for a manual with the protection package already installed with mud flaps cargo tray and wheel locks. Its pointless and ridiculous for 899.00 but they wont remove it.
MSRP 26,675 + package = 27,574
Selling Prices : 22.670
Acuisition : 595
Doc Fee 699
Tag, Title all that other misc nonsense 194.00
OTD of 24,158 and 0 down and 297.19 a month. Anyone in the south have any better luck???
The 699 doc fee is a killer but EVERY dealer I have been to in the years charges 699 if not more. Its a rip off.
I speak with a customer relations specialist who tells me that indeed is the deal and they should have honored it. Then hours late she says oh its in stock only. This is false as i stated the color i wanted as the first step before the deal was presented.
A day later i send my bf in on his own and they say the asme thing to him. Offer him the deal also say that have a a Costco deal for250 more off. We recorded all of this on tape. I confront them about this They then deny they said it even though i had it on tape.
Can i report them to the BBB for straight out fraud tactics. Please advise. I think something discriminatory is happening here.
I am am looking for a 18’ EX-L 2.0T and everyone is offering $30k. I haven’t found true invoice but is $26500-27000 before TTL a reasonable counter offer to the dealer?
What state are you in? Some states require consent to record someone. Can wind up in trouble yourself but where do they have their policy listed? You can report to BBB but I suggest leaving a honest and detailed comment on Google. I have done so in the past and had the GM contact me in regards to the issue. Google reviews are serious business.
Good luck and report back.
