On another topic, I am looking for the LX CVT, and I am curious if let's say the lx and the sport will drive the same as far as how smooth of a ride they provide. I like how the sport looks, but I heard that sport suspensions are not as "soft or smooth" and the bigger the tires the more you will feel the bumps in the road, any inputs on someone thAt knows about this will be appreciated.
I already test drove the LX, which is better than my 08 accord lx, but the test drive wasn't a long one, but again I was curious on the two suspensions and driving experience, thanks.
But after that you can somewhat go by the letters of the trim level. In other words:
LX=Luxury, even though it is a base model. And so an LX Accord has a slightly softer suspension, although it's still relatively firm compared to Camry, Altima, Sonata, etc.
Sport means what it says, and so the suspension and the tires are more for sporty handling, and less for comfort. You will feel more bumps, but might have more fun going around corners.
EX/EXL= Extra Luxury, and so goes back to the slightly softer LX mode, although there is still upgraded handling ("shock tower") with this trim, as well as premium V-rated high speed performance tires.
of all the 7 internet deals I got, this is the best
Am I getting ripped off? here is the deal I am getting
Local Dealership in Henderson NV
2103 Accord EX-L without Navi
Basque Red with ivory interiors
Selling Price $25,500
Doc Fee $499 (All dealers are charging this in Las Vegas, they are not discounting!)
Title $28.50
State Sales Tax is 8.1% $2105.5
Total Price $28,133
My state sales tax is high! cant's escape!
Can I finish the deal?
You are not getting "ripped off" but you are paying more than others due to the very high doc fee. Please review the link to understand that the doc fee is completely optional in Nevada ("No cap or rules"). So your dealer is essentially PADDING the good 25500 car price with 499 in additional profit. While they may say that they will not go lower, I'd wait til the end of the month or counter-offer at a somewhat lower doc fee. You must be prepared to WALK OUT or as Brian125 would say, negotiate over the internet (not in person).
Thanks for asking your questions before finalizing the deal - that is the way to go!

Sale Price: $24013
Doc Fee: $299
Elec. Registration: $139.95
Transfer Tag: $305.16

What's your opinion on these quotes? Anyone in the South Florida area have any great deal stories that I can hopefully follow!! Thanks!!!
Finally went to the closest dealership (in Saint Louis, MO) and got the 2013 Accord EXL I4 for $24900 financed, have to pay TTL.
Car price + Dest Charge $24700
Doc fee $200
TTL Should be about 1900
Total Cost : 26800
No hassle purchase and no up-selling from finance either. However I was given the extended warranty offers
Honda Care - 6yr 100k - $100 deductible == 1700 (is $750 from saccucci)
Gap Ins == $695
Key repl ins == $290
Road size Hazard Ins == $460
Dent Repair warranty == $420
Dealer is providing 100% cash back guarantee (if unused) on Honda care , if I decide before saturday.
I think having key replacement insurance is better since each key costs around $300 (per the dealer).
Please let me know your opinion on the warranties.
Thanks in advance.
Thx
example: negotiated price .....................12,000 then you add
Dest/ charge, doc fee's, Dmv, and Taxes for a out the door price

There's probably not one number for the "lowest cost" for an EXL, since that will differ in each market, and in terms of how you negotiate.
Overall, however, it seems like some people are getting around $2000 off of the list price.
2013 Accord Sedan EX-L lists for $28,785.
That's the list price with destination. Maybe you could get it for c. $26,800. Some people seem to be getting that model for even a little less, but that might be a ball park to start with to give you a rough idea.
You have to add tax, title, dealer prep fee, license, and so on onto that.
Try emailing several dealers in your area and see what they'll do on price. The huge Marysville Ohio factory where these are made has ramped up to full speed production, and so there are a lot of these around now for sale. Many dealers are probably willing to let a bargain shopper pick one up for a good discount.
Happy shopping! Let us know how it goes. Best of luck! You've picked an excellent car, and so you're already a winner.

18" wheels will be a little heavier and tires are a little wider so you'll get slightly less MPG (Honda gave sport trim few extra HP engine and 1 less MPG rating). The 18" sidewalls are smaller than 17" so you will feel more road bumps/potholes. If you live in an area with decent roads then you wont notice much difference, but if you live in an area with lots of bumps/potholes then you'll definitely notice it. If you test drive both cars then you should feel the difference -- I havent driven the new Accord so I cant say for sure, but it shouldn't be a huge difference in ride comfort (if you hit a small pothole then probably slap your face vs slap your face harder, not a slap your face vs punch your face difference)
If you're buying a non-sport then see if someone local who bought a sport would be willing to swap wheels + some cash (both cars will also need to have TPMS reset). You can also check eBay or browse around online Accord forums (hondaaccordforum or driveaccord) and see if someone is selling a like new set (some people like to use their own wheels and sell their OEM wheels+tires to offset the cost). Another option would be to wait 2-3 yrs when people who bought sports will be looking to replace the stock tires and they dont want to pay extra for 18" tires or they'll be looking to sell their stock wheels with worn out tires to get aftermarket wheels
Great points, I know on my sons new Infinity he has replaced 2 or 3 tires from bubbling side walls. I'm sure the roads here in N.Y are a big factor. I do enjoy the Costco tire program with the Road hazard protection. It pays for itself every year. My wife sometimes is good for at least 2 tires every year between curbs and pot holes. I will check on Tire Rack the Spec's and call my local dealer to explore the option of a Tire Upgrade. The ride would be my biggest concern. Like Jatan pointed out in above post the Accord wont be driven thru the five NYC boro's Mostly Highway.
Thanks

Got a price today of 22,798 for an Accord EX with a manual transmission. It includes doc fee, but not tax and title. What do you think?
your price is 509 Below invoice. Dealer is giving you most of his holdback. Its a good price. what you need to consider is your doc fee's. Minus them from the 509. and thats how much your buying vehicle for..
Post dealer/ doc fee's and area so forum buyers could decide if they want to call dealership............ Good luck

This is for a 2013 Honda Accord Sport CVT - No additional add ons
Is this a good deal? I'm not very good at negotiations, and I think they find me an easy mark because I'm a girl and don't know too much about cars.
Thanks!
What dealeship gave you this price. i know awhile back Weymouth gave you a price. but that might of been Dec if correct.

Shoot for $750 to $1000 under invoice plus TTL (with no doc fee). You could wait till Jan 30 or Jan 31. It appears that dealers generally try to get improve their sale numbers towards the end of the month.
Aggressive pricing depends upon the city where you live (number of dealers present in the zone). For example: Bay Area, CA pricing is pretty aggressive compared to a small city in MT or WY).
Good luck !
Also, be sure you are dealing with the factory numbers for MSRP. The Sport with CVT is 24980. The weymouth price (good comparison) is approx. 22.4k so you should be able to get close to that. TTL depends on your state; what state are you in michelle?

Thank you guys so far for the help!
Arizona has no cap or rules for dealer doc fees so make sure you don't overpay for that. They will probably try to add $400 or so to your deal and tell you it's mandatory when it is not.
http://blog.truecar.com/2011/07/26/which-additional-fees-should-i-pay-at-the-dea- - lership-what-is-the-doc-fee/#comment-53152
So far 30 have responded with either a flat out No and alot went into detail how there doc fee charge is on the bill so everybody has to pay it.
I suggest any body who is willing to buy from these dealerships should find out exactly what there doc fee's are and:
Adjust the offer price accordingly
Jan 30th is a good start date.
Jan 31th is ideal and the best day.
