2017 Accord Sport CVT Mod Steel Metallic
I'm going to TRY and remain firm. Is that better?
Brewster Honda does not know about potential trade. Tarrytown already knows my plan. Don't know what Brewster would give me. I know Tarrytown is up to about $11.
I honestly don't want to wait until the end of the month. I guess I'll have to visit the dealers to make $28,500 happen.

I'm early in the month, but I'm ready to rock. These dealers are not playing ball....yet. I'd rather not travel because of my schedule, so I'm sticking to email for now.
Greenwich Honda's Internet manager said my offer of $28,500 was more than a thousand lower than where they are at.
Currently, I'm sitting at $29,100 with a trade they haven't seen yet.
I'm going to Honda of New Rochelle for some face time and my credit card win my mouth. I'm hoping something good comes from it. I've emailed the Internet manager twice with my current offer and she has yet to email me back.
Any other advice? I'm all ears!!
Don't let this process agitate you - you're closer than you might think.
2017 Accord Sport CVT Mod Steel Metallic
I will wait them out and see what happens. I am hoping that I have the time.
On another note, and NO, this is not about a buying experience. I had to ask though. I have been reading about the navigation and the audio for this car. Is it really going to be a problem? My nav in the 08 has been great.
I'm in agreement with gmanusmc. You are armed and ready with pricing info and you seem to be able to handle yourself in the car negotiations game. I say Visit as may dealers that are near your house and just work on getting your best price. If you get your targeted price number then work in the trade .but not before. Keep both negotiations seperate.
After this week if you have not meet your price wait til May 30th to start the process again . I am a firm believer in End of the month buying. Dealers play to many games before that last week. . You as the consumer do not have the buying leverage right now. I liked to go in at that 12 hour make my pitch and buy with no nonsense. Dealerships that need those sales numbers/ incentives are ready and willing to sell cheaper than the 1st week of the month.
Starting on the last 2 days of this month if no deal is struck prior..To Eliminate your valuable time and not drive all over the place again Call every dealership with your offer. I have always got my price or very close to it on the last 2 days /last day of any month by bringing many dealerships into the game. Nail down a price with phone negotiations then drive to the dealer to sign papers etc especially with dealerships that seen your trade in car already.
Here are some more dealerships to call at months end near you.
1- Yonkers
2- New Rochelle
3- Friendly
Unfortunately your Trade in is what will hold you up.
Good luck post your deal..........................B

My only complaint is the '13 EX-L V6 MT Coupes are hard to find and dealers are less willing to negotiate. I had to pay invoice ($28,547). At least Honda offered 1.9% 60 month financing on coups.
I owned a '99 Odyssey EX for 12 years and now own a '13 Odyssey LX. I would replace the '13 Odyssey LX with MT Odyssey if/when they ever became available!
Regadless how many kids are in the back, the driver's hands are to be used to operate the vehicle while in motion. If man handling is needed, it is only to be applied when the vehicle is stationary.
So, the choice of transmission does not affect the carrying capacity, or the number of children.
Of course if one wants to discipline their kids while at 70 mph, and having coffee in one hand, and cell phone in another... well... then it doesn't matter what transmission is in the vehicle, there is really not enough hands, or eyes, fot that matter, to be driving.
Get an internet quote first so they know that you've done your homework.
Wait til the end of the month if you can

I found that NO dealer really wanted to make a deal now and that I'd be waiting until the end of the month to get this done (Issues with current 08). With that being said, I went to look at my other options.
The lowest I got for the 2013 Accord EX-L V6 w/Navi from Brewster was $29,120. That included destination. However, I was not sure how much they were going to give me for my 08.
Tarrytown offered $29,775 and $10,900 for my 08 Accord.
Long story short, I went to Acura and found a Black/Black TSX w/Tech 4 cyl. on their lot. Got some body side molding, all-weather mats, and splash guards for the car. I've always wanted an Acura and now I have one. I paid $28.5 and they gave me $12k for the Accord (Greenwich Acura).
I would have tried harder for the Accord, but I read too many reviews detailing the inconsistent Nav system and the Bluetooth. I do know there is a tsb for them, but I didn't want to risk any other issues with the redesign. My 08 was a redesign (I understand it is several years old), but it was a hassle from day 5.
Good luck to all with the new Accord!!

Thanks!!! I know.....happened really quickly.
I'm very excited about my purchase. I know the specs are a little different (leg room and cargo space to name a few), but I've wanted an Acura. Like you said, it's still a Honda. I think I did okay with the deal. The car is gorgeous.
Let the fun begin!!
There is no leverage and no incentive for any dealership to sell this car that low in price. The 1st 3 weeks is the dealers time to make as much money off the Un educated buyers. Dealers that dont hit there sales incentives will deal the last 2 days of the month. Thats why you get as many dealerships involved at the end of any month.... The same applied to that Acura you bought on his lot. If you bought that car at months end you might have saved 500 to 1000 more.
The 3 dealers in my prior post would have gave you a very good if not the best price this month on your model car at Months end.
Take what i'm telling you and apply it to your next vehicle purchase.
Enjoy your Acura thats a sharp car.

Acura TSX = Honda Accord outside of the USA/Canada.
North American Accord is unique in terms of being a stretched out global Accord aka TSX.
TSX 6 spd manual is the only way to get Accord EX-L sedan with stick in the US.
I wanted to make a move sooner rather than later. If I didn't see the TSX, I was waiting until the end of the month.
I appreciate everyone's support and advice. I was much more prepared this time.
I'll be honest, the complaints about the Honda scared me. I'm sure the latest patch and potential future fixes could fix some issues. I didn't want to risk it. Going back and forth to the dealer to diagnose was something I didn't want to do. And to clear things up, it could still happen to my Acura.
Thanks again!!
35 dollars for a 6 oz jar. Check it out you wont be disappointed.

poster; jjvicks.......... bought a exl v-6 from madison honda in n.j. for 900 below invoice price on march 30th. doc fees are $249
Invoice on your model is $27,502 with dest/charge of 790=$28,292
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Model: Accord EX-L 4 CYL Coupe
MSRP: $ 28,860
Special Internet Price: $ 26,367.70
Sales Tax 8.625%: $ 2,274.21

NYS Tire Recycling: $ 12.50
Out the Door Price: $ 28,739.41 ( Includes Destination Charge)
( Just Add Registration )
I know its the beginning of the month, and its only $100 off invoice. Guess I'm going to have to wait
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
North shore Honda, and Atlantic honda. try them at the end of the month
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Sales price of the car including destination charge and any extra fees like doc fees that go to the dealer is the price the car is selling for.
Sales tax and registration/license fees being mixed into grand total OTD postings just makes it too difficult to compare to anyone else since those costs vary widely across the country.
For instance, OTD prices in Oregon vs CA are not comparable.
I know one person who purchased a LX in april for 1700 below invoice. they paid doc fee's of 399 so the dealer really sold the car for $1300. below his invoice price.
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
So no I didnt buy the car but why would they offer me $19k if they weren't serious. Again this is just the price, excluding taxes and fees.
Anything too good to be true, be cautious. I have 2012 SE Accord, which I bought last August before 13 came out, currently 10K on it, one oil change done, however I am always in this forum always checking market prices. My 2012 back then was 19.5 k sale price, with taxes doc etc came to 22k even in north jersey.
I would like to get the 2013 either sport for 22k OTD or the exl auto for like 24k, probably the EXL won't happen until the new version comes but wishing is free.
Cheers everyone, and good luck hunting for great deals. Julian
I'm glad you cleared this up

thanks a bunch.

My original bid was $25,000 and their original response was just under $27,000. I wouldn't go above $25,500 and they would not go below $26,000. So, no deal. I'm not sure that will help you with the V6 but it's the same market with one-step down in vehicle. If I cannot reach a deal on the Accord, I'll move on to a Camry. Toyota seems to be very aggressively pricing their cars right now.
The Accord is heads above that Camry. Every region has different pricing on the Accord. If my area sells for 1200 below invoice price on the accord and in your area its only 500 below invoice that should not deter you from buying it.
your main objective is to find the market price in your area and get that price.
If you want to travel out of your state for a better bargain thats fine.
My suggestion would be to ask all dealerships in your area for 1000 below invoice price and you will buy that day. If you cant get 1k shoot for 700/800 and make your best deal. You have to be in control of the negotiations
start your buying process on the 2 to last day of this month. dealerships looking to meet those sales incentives will sell cheaper on that day than earlier in the month.
Good luck

I did follow your suggestions during negotiations but I reached a point where I refused to bid higher, and where they refused to go lower. I'm not in a hurry to buy but that may change.
Plus, April was a good month for the Honda -- it was the top selling family sedan for the month, was named Consumer Reports top family sedan, and, well, it's still relatively new to the market.
No big deal. We have an Accord now and have been happy with it, but it has a lot of road and wind noise and I've never loved the driver's seat.
Every car is a compromise of sorts.
Or you could get a Sport or LX Accord. The 4 cylinder is not slow and it is not like you will be pulling a trailer with an Accord even with the V6.

I want to add after market leather upholstery (probably go with katzkin). Dealer quoted me $1400 to do that. I have not decided yet. Could you please share your opinion with this price and the quality with katzkin?
Also, I plan to add: All Season Floor Mats, Trunk Tray, Splash Guard and Exposed Wheel Locks. Is it necessary? What do you guys think of Collegehillshondae ? I found a cheaper one: handa-accessories. Anyone bought from them before?
If you are close to Santa Rosa, CA and would like to buy a Honda. I would like to recommend my sales man, feel free to send msg to me and ask. I think they still have flex quota for this month and the internet price they gave is the "true" price. I did not negotiate anything when I was at the dealership. No DIOs. I am very happy with the whole process so far.
It looks like only Katzkin has leather for 2013 Accord so that's probably your only option right now. Find other Katzkin installers in your area (check Katzkin website) and get multiple quotes so you know what the installed price is in your area -- if the dealer wants $1400 then see if they're willing to knock down the price a little more or else go to an independent shop. If you're not happy with current price quotes then wait a few more months until there are more custom leather options available
College Hills and H&A are the usual go to places for discount parts/accessories (check shipping costs when comparing prices) -- you can also search for accessories on ebay since there's usually a few dealers on there and its easier to find prices with shipping
Are those accessories necessary? That's up to you to decide lol. Doubt people care about your LX wheels so wheel locks probably aren't needed (if you bought a sport with 18" wheels then those will probably be targeted by thieves). Splash guards are up to you. Trunk tray and all season mats are probably worth it -- trunk tray you can get OEM or Weathertech (whichever is cheaper) and all season mats you could go for OEM ones, but I prefer Weathertech DigitalFit FloorLiners (I have these in my Civic and keep them in all year round, no worries with rain/snow/mud/dirt)
Could you provide Santa Rosa dealer and salesman name?
I'm looking for an EX-L w/o nav and want to buy this week.
Thanks
Thanks!
