I'm also considering an Optima SX model. Thoughts on 13 Accord vs Optima?
In regards to financing, I got pre-approved for the 1.49% from Penfed and asked the dealership to beat it. They could not. I think the lowest was 2.5 or something like that (and I have a credit score in the upper 700's).
Sorry, if I knew they gave a referral, I would have asked your name.
Keep in mind I live in VA where tax is 3% and I bought near the end of the month right before Sandy. Other dealers would not match.
Landmark Honda in Alexandria. Very easy to deal with.
Good luck. Great car.
Kias have a 5-year warranty while Hondas have a 3-year warranty, just another thing to consider if you are concerned about that.
Just thought i would confirm before taking your lead on purchasing the supplies from Amazon.
sedan on Saturday from Jason at Autowest Honda in Roseville,CA
MSRP was 30,800(30,795?) and dealer had installed the spoiler (retail 795 or 895?) I offerred 28,200 which is what edmunds reported invoice price minus the spoiler. They took it! I did pay the 795 destination charge, and the rest of the fees which were the same as most or less. I financed through AHM for 2.49% for 54 months.
The kicker was they purchsed my 2010 Tundra on trade-in. Carmax offerred 19,000. I paid 24K before tax and destination new in 2010 (great deals when the gas pedals were sticking) They gave me 22K and did not deduct anything for the four bald tires they inherited. Private party trade sale was 24,200.
I know my father still thinks he could of done better, but trying to offload a 8 mpg tundra didn't sound like an easy task.
Drove to work today for the first time and don't regret any of my decisions from the weekend.
All across the board at Autowest was super easy and no game playing.
Oh yeah, the dealer had installed the mud flaps, wheel locks, and trunk tray which also was included in my negotiated price.
The dealer we purchased was from Rock Honda, their quote was the lowest we can get.
Thanks a lot for your post. Inspired by your post, I contacted Brandy today. Even though I'm located in NJ, I'm thinking, it may be worth driving all the way. None of the dealers around me are coming close to that. Can I possibly have your name to refer to Brandy? I think, you really deserve this. Are there any other things to watch out for according to you? Thank you again.
If you are going to make the trip, I would have her email you the quote. Print it out and bring it with you. I had no problems at all. Good luck.
Second question: Should we consider the Touring model for the extras?
Thanks in advance!!
Can you confirm that the 22500 was OTD? including taxes tags and everything?
Also do you mind giving me the breakdown?
Thanks a lot!.
I dealt with Brandy. You can tell her Josh P referred you.
and just started to look. Are you buying an exl with cvt,or exl v6.
Thanks

What was the actual car price before TTL and process fee.Looks like around
27,500
Did you get a internet quote or walk in.
I can drive to scranton if I have to,if local dealers will not meet.
Much better than driving to Baltimore.
Thanks again.

Got the sale price down to $26,000 which is $400 below invoice.
Also managed to get first month lease payment paid by the dealer.
$345/month for 36 months
15K miles per year (paid extra to go from 12K to 15K)
Total OTD price (including all taxes (7% nj sales tax) and fees)= $27516
2 free oil-changes
Don't pay over invoice for this car! It is very much possible to get any trim of 2013 accord at invoice or even below invoice!
LOL, if that's the best you can do fine, but I and apparently several others here are doing much better than MSRP! Brian123 is absolutely correct, you may have to email/call 10 or 20 dealers, and probably 90% of them will not entertain anything near invoice, however a couple, after some back and forth, will, and those are the ones you want to deal with! Of course you are free to go along with the mindless masses and waste your hard earned money, but for those who can engage their minds there's no reason to donate a extra grand or two to some megadealer so they can build a new showroom with a nail salon and Starbucks...LOL!
Please share the dealer you used. Thanks
Both have: CVT engines, identical price tags, and almost the same gas mileage to name a few.
Differences: Honda is very sporty with dual exhaust, nice wheels, and LED lights, as compared to the Subaru which is more bland, but has AWD.
I've narrowed my search to these two vehicles after test driving many cars, but just can not make up my mind. Each have their perks.
I live in up-state NY where the weather can change for the worst fast. Therefore a safe vehicle is important to me, but I'm young and want to drive a car that will stand out a little. Will winter tires make the Honda just as good as the Subaru in the winter?
Thoughts on these two vehicles?
Hope this helps.
The one regret I have about my negotiation process is that I didn't negotiate down from the 2.4% I was offered for financing.
I also got Honda Care from an online dealership for less than 1/3 what the dealer offered their warranty package for.
