@bluemkn57cars Best of luck with your new Audi, I'm sure you are going to love it !

Thank you. How do you like your Accord?
Moving up to a touring from my 2012 EX-L has been a learning experience but all in all I really like my new ride. Within my first `1000 miles I was able to get 35 mpg in combined driving so I'm very pleased. The only way they could make it better is if it could mow my lawn LOL

question. a dealer i contacted told me they had a grand opening special. 500 off ANY WRITTEN OFFER. just bring i the offer. I was told this after i asked if they had a specific color available. He said yes, then said the deal. I come in with the written off and they do not honor the 500 off (because my deal is decent. im sure they thought i would come in with a crazy bad deal)
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.

Those are all typical advertising tactics.
Dealers that say, "bring us any deal and we'll beat it" are just preying on your insecurities. If they had really good deals, they would just offer them.

Are you going to hire a lawyer over a deal that was never actually offered?
The BBB is not the government. They are an advocate for business (who monetarily support their organization).

Concentrate on buying a car. You've lost sight of your goal.

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. 

California and all you need is consent of one party. my boyfriend consented. I also believe this is a considered a public place and there was fraud happening.

I'm at LA, CA and I got a certificate from Edmunds for a 2.0 Touring for $30700 without any negotiation and the sales person contact me to confirm this price with no additional add-on. This price is not that attractive to me. If I go, I will probably ask for $30000 flat including registration and other misc fees. Do you guys think the dealer will take my offer? Thanks a lot. 

MSRP for this car is close to $37k. Invoice price is about $33.6k. If your deal includes the destination fee, you are at nearly at 3k below invoice before any fees. Confirm with the dealer the price and make sure it does not include any rebates you do not qualify for. The best price I have seen the 2.0T Touring for in the northeast is for $2k below invoice.

Good luck and report back.

30700 includes the destination not includes any rebate.

fastdjt

Expect to be hit with a 895 destination fee. It says its included but it is not. The MSRP quoted is for the car only  the true MSRP would include the destination fee and be 36695. 

sevans583

Looking at Accord Sport (1.5L). Dealer first offer 26,221 OTD. I didn't get the breakdown in fees as we were just test driving and planned to wait a couple months to see if 2019 models bring down the price. In SC, we have a max tax of $500, I'm sure there's a freight charge and doc fee in there somewhere too. In checking other dealers, I found a used in the color that we want with 16k miles a little over an hour away. Price is 22,275, OTD for 23,302. Is this good with 16k miles? I emailed the salesman we saw Saturday and asked if he could give me a deal to keep us from driving to the other dealer and buying this car, and he said he'll contact me tomorrow morning. Will we do better waiting until 2019 models come out and come close to that on a new 2018 if we wait a couple months?

@jayleeee - I would call the dealership. If you go to Honda's website, the MSRP for this car including destination is not $35,800. 

gedorm1

Hey guys, first time poster but I’m Accord shopping. I’m interested in a Sport model but all the internet quotes I’m getting all seem to be only about 1800 off sticker then plus tax and fees. These should be way discounted now right?  Most dealers around me have 100+ accords on the lot. 

Whats a good target price for a Sport 1.5?  I’m in Tampa area of Florida.

$35,800 is the price for the Hybrid Touring, not the 2.0T.

....Glad to hear you are enjoying your TLX. Is it a lease or did you buy it?

The Audi A4 is a great car from what I know of it. Beautiful design inside and out. Hope it works out for you.

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.

So I signed the deal for the A4 today. There was no bait and switch. All the numbers matched what was agreed upon via email. They offered me 12k for my Accord, so I am happy. Once I get the title from the RMV, I will drop it off and get a check for that amount. I will miss my Honda but it was time to step into something more luxurious. 

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. 

Enjoy the car! After driving Audis for almost 20 years (most recently an A6), I just bought an Accord Hybrid Touring. Audi is an amazing brand and the new A4s are very well executed. My dad, who are long-time Acura driver, just made the switch to an A4 (IMHO, Acura is priced too close to the other luxury brands but a step behind).

From my vantage point, the Accord is one of the best values on the market right now. Sure, there are noticeable differences in the finishes throughout -- Audi gets the details right -- but the Accord Touring has far better tech overall than my 2016 A6. In fact, while people rave about the Audi infotainment system, I think the current Honda system is more intuitive than the Audi. And the rear seat space in the Accord easily beats the current A4 and gets a slight edge over my 2016 A6 as well. The hybrid option and pricing pushed it over-the-top for me. A comparable hybrid on a luxury brand would have cost me AT LEAST $20,000 more.

I am going to pile on a bit @bluemkn57cars . So we purchased a Audi A5 cabriolet this past Saturday for my wife, I will be posting details about that purchase later in the Audi section once we pick the car up in the middle of August. But as a 2017 Honda Accord Touring owner, I just wanted to say the posts in this Edmunds Accord section are invaluable. @brian125 , @bluemkn57cars , @kyfdx , @Michaell along with many others share information which you just can't buy. I just want to reiterate that price info on all "helpful" Auto purchase websites about price DO NOT fully disclose what the real price of a car is and in ALL of the instances I have seen prices are always well higher than what an actual car can be purchased or leased for. TRUECAR stopped publishing the actual discounted prices of recent purchases a few years back because the Auto dealers were complaining it was cutting into their "profits" and they threatened TRUECAR they would not use their service. The whimps caved there. KBB and Edmunds also do not disclose the discounted prices as far as I can see - but if you follow the advice of the online superstars that share information in this forum - You will score a great deal or at the very least save some serious $$$.. Every thousand dollars you save for yourself - is an extra thousand for you and your family. So I just again have to say thanks to everyone because without the great information shared I would have spent a few thousand more than I had to.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are correct about trunk space and back seat space in the A4. Since my wife has a minivan (2017 Chrysler Pacifica), I am not worried about hauling stuff in my A4. I really tried hard to fall in love with the exterior design of the 2018 Accord, but I could not fake it. I hope the next gen Accord does not have a similar design.

Side note, my local VW dealer just emailed to inform that they are getting trained on the Arteon at the end of August. So it looks like it will be available in dealerships sometime in September. Oh well. Maybe in 3 years, when my lease is up, I would see what deals can be had on a VW.

Anyone have feedback on DCH in NJ? I have received bits and pieces from them including a 2,000 below invoice quote on a 2018 LX, but they are not returning my calls—not sure if I should pursue further.

Move on to the next dealership that will take your calls. Use some of the tactics posted in this forum about buying a car today at XXX below invoice. If $2k below invoice is your offer, they (sales manager/internet sales manager) can either take it or counter. Tomorrow, being the last day of the month, you might get call backs from dealerships looking to reach their sales quota.

Are you calling DCH Kay or Academy ? Kay gave me problems getting quotes but Academy was more forthcoming

sevans583

The used Accord Sport I was looking at sold before I could get there. After telling the dealer I was headed out of town to look at it, he offered this on a new Sport (1.5):
Invoice: 24,524
Dealer Fees: 442
Dealer Accessories: 697
Taxes/Reg: $558
Total: 26,221
But since they're competing against what they know we wanted to spend (23,300 on a used sport), they offered the "rock bottom" price of $25,000 OTD. (No itemization of where this $1221 was coming off.)

DCH Academy—

I’m in Connecticut and can’t get close to $2,000 off invoice here, but NJ and MA seem to be a little better. Will keep trying and see what tomorrow brings, or just wait until the end of August.

1sebringnow

You might have a difficult time getting a deal in CT. They stick together like thieves. When living in CT, I bought my 2011 Honda Accord in Maryland. The dealerships there will do all the paperwork for Connecticut, slap a temporary plate on your car so you can drive it home and then you'll get your CT plates in the mail. MD/VA/DC prices are typically great. But Prices in MA around the Boston Area are excellent too. It is a bit tricky getting the car over the line without a dealer plate, but you should be able to buy for thousands less in MA or the MD/VA/DC area. Typical doc fee's in VA are higher - and if you buy around black Friday, they typically waive them/

If u ready to buy call Dch Academy's Internet mgr. Christine speak to her Directly for the sale today . If she is not avail leave your # for a call back . while waiting call every Ct dealers internet mgr tell all your going to NJ academy Honda to buy from them tomm unless a local dealer will match or beat there price.

This is how you negotiate and months end pitting one dealer against the next for that sale.

I have been negotiating with a couple dealers for the past two weeks or so. At first, they told me the payment would be $339 + taxes. The first month was going to be $772 including the first month, doc fees, title, etc. I am currently at $320/month with everything included. So here is the breakdown.

Car: 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T Sports
MSRP:$26,675
Selling Price: $24,300
$150 Splash Guards
$199 Service Fee
———————
$24,649
$1355.69 (5.5% Tax)
——————
$26,004.69
$99 Title & registration
———————-
$26,103.69 OTD.


MF : .00092
Residual: 58.00

I am about to pull the trigger but I am not sure if this is the best deal I could get for this car. What do you think? I am located in Green Bay, WI.

sevans583

Einermart, this is very close to what I have been offered (a few posts above you), except that we have a lower car tax in SC (it maxes out at $500). I think I can do a little better, but I'm not sure by how much.
In our situation, we can probably afford to wait. Our gamble is our 2007 Accord is at 192,000 miles, and things are starting to need to be replaced. If we spend another $500 to fix whatever may fail in the meantime, we don't save anything by waiting to buy a car. If everything holds out just fine, it may be worth it to wait until the 2019 models come out. That is our dilemma.

einermart

I have a 2000 Honda Accord. The odometer says 310k miles but the past owner said at some point the transmission or engine was changed so who know how many miles it has. Whenever I am at a stop light and try to go the car kind of halts for a second. It also has the sway bar broken. Thank you for your reply. Looks like I won't be able to get a better deal than this. A dealer two hours away from here quoted me at $315/month drive off all taxes, title, doc fee included. My local dealer 5 minutes away from my house is quoting me at $320. So I'm going to save myself a 2 hour drive and go with my local dealer.

sevans583

Yes, we'd like to sell ours privately to get a little more than we could with a trade-in offer. I think overall there's still a lot of life left to it, we just don't want to be the ones putting money in it.

how much due at signing with the 320/month dealer? there's some slop in that deal

invoice 24484
TRUE sell price = 24300 + 199 (service fee, ie, doc fee) = 24499 ($15 over invoice)

einermart

@tonyg2016 nothing due at signing. The dealer 2 hours away from me wants to go lower than $320 when I told him my local dealer was offering me that. He asked me how much I was willing to pay to go with him. I said $290 a month. I am waiting for his response.

tonyg2016

does local dealer have color combo you want? if so, make an offer similar to the best you get from 2 hour guy; it's end of month and they may be more aggressive once they know you are serious.

290 may not be reasonable; expect a counter at 300

einermart

My local dealer didn't match the $315 from the dealer two hours away. They said $320 was the best they could do. The dealer two hours away also have more cars in stock with a variety of colors. So I'm thinking they got room to negotiate. But if they counter at $300 I'm going to call it a day and drive the two hours.

tonyg2016

they probably figured you would not drive 2 hours to save $5/month; i would not. let's see how this goes...

Hi Guys,

Finally I pulled the trigger today on my new Accord EX in Silver with gray interior. It was not easy pitting couple of dealers against each other combined with last two days of the month but I managed to get this deal on a car with 1 mile with a vin number of 211xxx ( thanks for the tip on the vin and manufacturing date).

Sale price- $24,026 ( including dest) which is about $2K below invoice.
Doc Fee- $175.94
Govt Fees- $145
Tax- $1749 (7.25% tax rate)
Minus trade in of $300 ( 2001 Accord with 205K miles).

Total OTD of $25,796.

Thanks Bluemkn57cars, Brian125, tonyg2016 and all other who contributed to this amazing forum.

Thanks and good luck for all who are still shopping, I'm located in IL and the dealership is North City Honda.

Jerseydevil01

Congrats @gocowboys13 on your new car, we tend to get attached to our old car but the 18 Accord will make it easier. This forum rocks !

sevans583

Wow! Congrats gocowboys13! We're holding off on the sport for now. Current dealer won't budge on their lowest price. I think we can still do better.

They are not returning my calls either. I called yesterday to ask to speak to Christine and was told there is no Christine, and their internet manger is Jennifer, who is not returning calls nor replying to my emails. A couple of dealers who said they can beat the price are not willing to provide a price breakdown via email. Not sure what to do. Help!

akronoh77

I'm in the market for a 1.5T EX in the Cleveland/Akron area. I actually live very close to Motorcars Honda and they're usually very aggressive with their pricing. I've bought two cars from Serra (formerly Park in Akron) and a couple from Jay Honda as well. I refuse to ever do business again with Jay because they're the definition of a Bait-and-Switch kind of dealer.

I've gotten a few offers from Ganley, Motorcars, and Greatlakes. All are coming to mid to high 27's OTD.

2018 Honda Accord Sedan EX

MSRP-$28,360

Internet Sales Price-$25,007 plus tax, title and documentation fee (Destination Fee IS included in our sales price)
SAVINGS-$3,353

Sales Price 25,007
Doc Fee $250
$25,257
Tax Rate 8.00%
$2,020.56
$27,277.56
Tag/Title Fee $33.50
OTD $27,311.06


I got that from GL. Was hoping to get closer to 26 or so like someone did yesterday on here, but it's looking tough. I haven't made my own offer yet though.

shajid_88

I am looking for Sports 1.5L. My offer is 22k/22.2k before TTL. So this is pretty much selling price plus doc fees. I am in Norman, Oklahoma. I am not sure if my price is too ambitious. Because I did not get anything below 23.9k. I called almost every dealer within 2 hour driving distance. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks

Just FYI, I got a quote for the Sport of $22,400 before TTL, granted I live in the Chicagoland area with probably more dealers than Oklahoma but I don't think your target is too far off. Good luck.

Congratulations on your new car! I also do think the same. However the dealers around me are very surpirsed about my offer. Lets see if I can get any call back. Thanks for the heads up.

Shopping for 2018 Accord LX in Houston with $800 of dealer installed options. MSRP is $24465 (including $895 Dest). Assuming $1800 in fees and taxes what is a great OTD price I should expect?

24507

Did a bit better than that - $23,200 OTD:

MSRP: 24460 Including Dest)
Dealer Accessories: $1,389 [$299 (Tint), $595 (Safety+Protection; Paint & Fabric), $495 (Protection Package; Splash guards, Trunk Tray, Wheel locks)]
Dealer Fees/Taxes/Reg: about $1800
Total: 27,649 (including taxes)

tonyg2016

out-the-door price includes everything - tax, fees, and overpriced dealer add-ons.

24460 + 1389 + 1800 = 27649

where does the 23200 come in? if that is what you paid instead of 27649, then well done.

Hey Bud..... just read your post sorry about wrong name..... Jennifer is the internet Mgr. over at DCH , but that should not matter. just get in touch with her . Have you had any luck with negotiating pricing ? where do you stand with pricing , which state, and dealerships.

brian125

Check out the accord lease forum..... last poster before I responded to them. Poster has a lease deal on the table @dchacademy in NJ for $2100 below invoice price after the $499 doc fee charge . Reach out to him or her for any questions or info.

For heavens sake, please please.. stop starting your sentences with the word "So". Its grammatically [non-permissible content removed] and sounds really lame.

Anyone have feedback on DCH in NJ? I have received bits and pieces from them including a 2,000 below invoice quote on a 2018 LX, but they are not returning my calls—not sure if I should pursue further.

Anyone have feedback on DCH in NJ? I have received bits and pieces from them including a 2,000 below invoice quote on a 2018 LX, but they are not returning my calls—not sure if I should pursue further.

They are not returning my calls either. I called yesterday to ask to speak to Christine and was told there is no Christine, and their internet manger is Jennifer, who is not returning calls nor replying to my emails. A couple of dealers who said they can beat the price are not willing to provide a price breakdown via email. Not sure what to do. Help!

Sometimes when trying to make a deal the last two days of the month, dealers and sales guy will cater to folks already in the dealership finishing up paperwork or folks closing a deal. If you are a maybe, some Honda dealers may not give you the time of day.

If you have not yet bought the car, I would do my homework (research pricing, etc) the first half of the month and use the third week to start negotiating with dealers who provided you with pricing. If no dealer has offered you pricing via phone or email, I would walk into my local dealer and ask them for their best offer (after doing your research). 

Buying a car should not be this stressful, but at the same time, do not wait the last week or last two days of the month to start doing research or comparing pricing among dealerships.

Good luck and please post any update.

Some general advice to anyone looking to buy a 2018 Accord. 2019 models will start arriving on dealer lots soon (sometime in Q4). I would recommend making your best deal this month or next month, before inventory start to get low and your color combination is getting hard to find. If you think you are being offered a good deal (after doing your research and asking folks on this forum for feedback), do not wait another month to try and save a few extra bucks. It is not worth it in my opinion. You are not going to get the same deal as someone else on the same car, even if you live in the same state. That's the reality of things.

Dealers who claim they can beat any other written offer by $XXX are just pulling your tail (I know from experience). If a dealer is honest and not playing games, they will offer you their best deal. Sure, some dealers would either negotiate pricing or give you a no-haggle price. Although deals can be had the last days of the month/quarter, do not always expect to get the best deal if you have not done your homework.

Good luck.
