The final price is
Car selling price $26088 + Tax (8.25%) + Doc ($55) + DMV fee
No rebate/incentives included, no add-on accessories
MSRP: $30400
Truecar.com the best selling price - $26591
Am at $250 under invoice + normal tax, title, doc ... my question is are they are any cash or rebate incentives Honda is currently offering under-the-table or to dealers directly? Thanks.
For reference, a dealer near me in Cleveland, OH is advertising a lease special on a '12 Accord LX with manual transmission for $199/month (+ TTL) with $0 down for 36 months (12,000 miles/year, 15 cents per mile overage fee).
Received a quote from Gillman in Houston for 20,890.
McDavid In Frisco Tx quoted 22,031 for EX and 23,475 for EXL I-4
With financing incentives also it appears to be good time to buy. Honda needs to ramp up sales significantly and dealers seem ready to negotiate
Happy Hunting !
Explains the great deals-- And make me want to push for a little more. :shades:
TrueCar gives me a price of $28,701..Now I am wondering about all of these incentives..hmmm

They sent eprice and the terms never changes. No Propack add at signing etc. In and out in about 1.5 hrs
Back to your question --Invoice on SE is 22,469 so I was 2100 under invoice. But dealers have incentive from Honda on SE addt 750 on top of 500 mfg to Dealer cash going on--and 1.9 financing which I was able to get..
Invoice on LX is 20,165.. 18K might be a bit ambitious. 18,750 probably doable and still 1400 under invoice.
Get with internet dept at McDavid Frisco- I had a good experience with a salesman there and although didn't buy from them- due to distance/logisitics... They had a price better than Gillmans
Good Luck- I love my car
I think you should be able to get it for around 18,500 provided they dont insist on padding it with protection package which cost them 350 but they will ask for 1K or more.
Rusty Wallis & McKinney Honda will work with you provide they have cars sitting on the lot. McDavid in Frisco has large inventory but tend to be shifty so make sure to get all the costs added. Doc. Fee in DFW should not more than 200 bucks but they will pad it if you bargain hard on selling price. Clearly define your offer price as being inclusive of all adds-ons plus dest. charges and add sales tax of 6.25% and T & L runs another 200 or less plus doc. fees of 175 to 190.
BTW LX and LX-p don't sell as well as EX and EX-L so you should be able to get it for under 18,500 end of the month.
Initially they started from 28,500. Please let me know your opinions. I was asking for 21500, Do you think is too low
Try Rusty Wallis or Honda Cars of McKinney. Beware of the dealers adding protection package which costs about 350 but will charge you over 1k.
Dont ever negotiate at the dealership use the web and phone to make offers but be precise. Selling price includes destination charges but dealers will quote without it. So confirm reconfirm.
I wanted Accord EX-L but just got tired of Honda dealers run around and purchased 2012 Altima SEL for 23.5k w/premium sound sys. in Oct. but one one can get it bow for 22k and it drives just as good.
LX-P equivalent Altima 2.5S w/Con. Pkga would run around under under 19k and even have blue tooth with that package plus keyless entry & ignition.
you can avoid document fees those are charged just for the heck of it, and try to target LX-P below 19,000.
and avoid getting tacked on by the extras like Pro_pack, and dont buy any of those stupid warranties , including for those for maintaining colors, cloth interiors etc. the interior of the Hondas/accord is very nice and will last you long, so avoid spending money on extras, just buy the car as supplied by Honda.
Thanks in advance for suggestions & help.
A friend told me that Anderson Direct (Palo Alto) and South Bay Honda (Milpitas) are decent for new cars, but was not sure how good they were for used cars..
Also, at what point during the negotiation would you suggest taking the car to an independent mechanic for pre-buyer inspection? Before we start negotiating on the price, or after we reach an agreed price (and before signing the paperwork)?
Few dealerships here want to charge $700-800 for "delivery fee" - is that reasonable?
Thanks in advance for suggestions & help.
That would be a total waste of money in my opinion since Honda requires so much before a car can be certified.
So far the lowest quote i have over the phone is $25.5k.
I see from this forum that EX-L "v6" is 26k in California.
So, should i not expect EX-L "4 cyl" around 23-24k in Kansas City?
Please comment. Thanks?
My paperwork at closing also shows an applied 750. from Honda
My price was 20,354--22000 OTD.... 6.25 tax in TX and fees are nominal
I thought it was smoking deal- 2,000 under invoice!
Anyone in market for LXP- I don't think you will get to 19k or under-- I think 19,500 is fair but it depends on your location etc-- Dealers will need to push inventory next couple of days- Good time to negotiate and purchase :shades:
I'm looking to buy the 2012 Honda Accord LX-S (automatic) within the next few days in southern california. What OTD price should I aim for? What OTD prices have people been getting? First time car buyer --thanks for your input!
MSRP $24,550
Dealer cost: $21,596
1500 could pay for many car repairs as well- By the way you can get warranty for 750- I just bought my Acccord and was offered at that price 1 week ago--
** for the person in LA looking for SE.. I paid 20,340- see prior posts
Remember also your buying an Accord--I just sold my 1997 Accord prior to purchase and had absolutely no major problems. Original alternator,starter,water pump etc.
Looking for a 2012 Accord LX and I am getting two different answers when asking the cost of the hold back. I have been told $443 and $688 respectively.
Now, isn't Honda's hold back calculated at 3% of MSRP?
This is the breakdown I currently have:
$22,950 MSRP
$21,088 Invoice
- $443 Holdback (or the higher number)
- $229 HDAG (marketing cost)
- $500 Dealer Cash
-------------
$19,916
Then you add $750 flex coupons to your total down payment.
Does this look correct? Seems if someone here bought an SE for $20,340 then my numbers are a little off or I need to push for a better deal.
Anyone know the invoice cost of the extended warranty?
Thanks.
Talking about or going after a dealer's holdback isn't a good way to start a conversation since it is far from bottom line profit.
A store needs to make a profit when the day is done.
I had always purchased Honda Accords and got such run around for EX-L I4 that I switched to 2012 Altima, You should be able to get 2.5S plus Convenience Pkg which can be had for less than 19k. It will have blue tooth, keyless ignition, auto lights and power seat & better equipped than LX-P. Add Convenience Plus Pkg. for 1k more and you will get sunroof, dual climate, blinkers on side mirrors and few other features for under 20k. It drives better than Accord and more reliable.
Helped a person get 2.5SL for less than 22k with 3k rebates plus another 2k off invoice this car is comparable to Accord EX-L which is being sold for 24.5k at best price. Nissan's Extended bumper to bumper warranty for 7 yrs 120 k can be had for 1450. Altima outranks Accord according to Consumer Reports in performance and reliability. Accord has slight edge on safety and resale value.
Noting wrong with Nissans if that is what a person really wants.
"Settling" for a different car usually brings regrets later.

Also comparing the Toyota Camry XLE. the Toyota is nice in that the Nav and electronics are state of the art compared to the antiquated ones on the Honda Accord.
2012 Accord EXL V6 w/o Nav.
Dealership name & location, Sales person too.
My lowest email quote is 26K +tax,etc. Looking for 23-24K.
If you live in the dc metro area you should highly consider Anderson Honda right outside of Bmore. I just picked up a 2012 Accord SE for $21,500 OTD. The salesman was very straightforward and can prob help get you an exl for a very reasonable price.
Fees should not be that much different state to state- Taxes are
I just bought the SE in Houston and total fees were approximately 500
Tell the dealer you'll keep looking- And do it.
Do you please mind posting your complete sales structure or breakdown? Was flex cash used in your deal?
Thanks!
