Car is the white honda accord sport. No options, but will add the mud guards which will cost 140 installed. Would also like to add mats and cargo liner which I'd probably get on line. Dealer won't throw them in.
Price is 22568 which includes the mudguards, all dealer fees in but DOES NOT include DMV or 8.625% NYS sales tax. Does include 500$ flex cash. They will also do 1 year of scheduled maintenance for free.
When I initially started shopping, the sport seemed like the right fit in between the LX and the EX, costing about 1K OTD more than the LX. Now, as the OTD price on the LX has dropped another 1 K,I'm starting to wonder if lower Sport inventory is inflating their selling value way beyond what Honda initially intended relative to the LX and EX.
If you have a chance to speak with your dealer before Thursday, I already have a deposit in on the vehicle, and if I need to go another way - or renegotiate - the sooner I figure that out, the better.
Thanks Brian, we could use guys like you around the office!
I have no leverage with pricing this week. i will shoot for this price . If dealer agree's then you decide if you want to come over to Staten Island.
I will see if 22,000 with mud guards can wrap this deal up for you.
That makes your deal 500 below dealers invoice price= 22,429 w dest charge
plus the 500 flex cash owed you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,= 21,929
plus mud guards.....................................................= 69
total......................................................................$ 21,998
On that total... add your doc fee's,dmv, and taxes. Should put you OTD at
$24,034 plus dmv fee's about $175 to 200
Be back in New york on Wed if you want to wait.

I just read your discussions and they are very helpful. Thanks a lot.
I also live on Long Island, New York. The same tax rate with buyer157, 8.625%.
I'm looking for a 2013 accord LX, CVT. Currently, the best price I received is $20,369.00, add Sales Tax $1,799.95 + NYS Fees $97.50 Totaling $22,266.45, and extra NYS DMV Fees (Cost for license plates). This price includes $ 500 flex cash through Honda finance. I noticed that someone got a better price than this in prior posts. Unfortunately, I was not able to get it in the end of May even I followed Brian's suggestions on his posts.
Brian, when you go to your dealership on thursday, could you also help me check the price for 2013 accord LX, CVT? I prefer silver or steel grey color, blue is also ok. I appreciate your kind help.
If you read prior posting there are about 20 dealerships mentioned. you need to call or visit at the end of the month. you will find a good deal on your model.
The lx model could be had for 1k below dealers invoice price or pretty close to that number. 500 below invoice without a doubt.
I'm sure you could get a good deal with Atlantic honda by you. Wait til june 27th to start your buying process.
I will post something for you. The leverage and key to getting a good deal is buying at the end of the month. Contacting several dealerships.
I know with very little effort 500 below dealers invoice in june with most if not all models is 100% do-able in the N.Y. N.J area. There are hundreds of dealerships in this area.

What is Flex cash? Is it a rebate from Honda? Didn't know about it when I bought my EX-L end of Feb and took delivery first week of March.
In a couple of months my 2012 Accord SE will be a year old, and I was thinking maybe I can get myself in a 2013 Accord as the 2014 comes out.
If not mistaken, most of the high end accords (EXLs and Touring) should be dirt cheap as the 2014s come out, any thoughts on where we will see these prices drop? Also, does anyone have any idea when the 2014 Accord is coming out, can't be too far out, September I suppose right?
Thank you all, it always a pleasure to stay plugged into this forum.

When we purchased our Accords in Feb it was not offered.

No trade and the price includes the $500 flex cash. Financed 60 months at 1.99%. I was shooting for a few hundred less but they weren't budging. With needing a car, I closed on this. Without the need, I think I could have done better at the end of the month. They also included a complete detail inside and out at a later date. Experience was longer and more difficult than it should have been.
Thanks,
You purchased a great car that is few on the lots. If time was on your side you could have contacted more dealers and held out for a few hundred more.
Most people involved here on Edmunds reading these boards learning and taking tips on buying are getting the best deals/ and not getting ripped off.
kindly post the name of the dealership you purchased from.
Have fun with your Accord

Without the flex cash and subtracting there doc fee's your buying a few hundred below invoice price. Hold out to the end of June. 500 or so less for your deal should be very do- able. In a couple of weeks were into july already. This model has been out and selling since Nov, 2012.
Do not let dealerships use the flex cash incentive to get you to 800/900 below invoice. Then paying dealers doc fee's... NOT good.. At this time of the year you guys should be looking for at a minimum 500 to 1000 dollars below invoice price... PLUS... flex money if your financing the vehicle thru honda corp.
If i'm buying a Accord this month my target price would be at least 1k below invoice price. I would call and target every dealership that is offering Flex cash and try to make my best deal with those dealerships first. this would make my deal 1500 below dealers invoice price.
If you cant get this low on pricing then this is your starting point and you work the 1500 number closer to invoice price and make your best deal by the last 2 days, last day of the month. NOT Before unless you hit your mark.

Yes 1k plus the flex cash. Honda corp is giving you this cash incentive to finance thru them. Take advantage of this money and dont let any dealer use this money for his advantage and making more off you.
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Your target price mean OTD price? Could you please provide me some advice for how to get to that target? Should I just wait till the last week and try to make a deal during that week?

the best "out the door price" that i was able to get was $24,900 for a 2013 Accord EX. I live in PA so sales tax is 6% is this a good deal or not?
Thanks!
Just so i am clear i want to make sure i understand how the pricing scheme works, when you guys say a good deal is to purchase a car for $1000 under invoice does that "invoice price" include the destination fee or not? So lets take an EX model is my target "good price" the actual invoice ($23,247) - $1000 for a total of $22,247 or is the goal price i want to hit the actual invoice + destination fee ($23, 247 + $790= $24,037)- $1000 for a total of $23,037. I am thinking that when you guys refer to "invoice price" it means actual invoice + destination fee am i Correct?
Thanks
Is that $25,500 out the door or is that before tax, tags, doc fees etc. What state are you in?

Original dealer called me back to tell me he had the exact color I wanted coming in and gave me a quote of 250 below invoice. I told him that I had already agreed to purchase from another dealer and at the terms established.
Long story short, he added 500 in flex cash, wheel locks, mats, cargo tray and mud flaps (installed) plus 1 year of maintenance to secure my business. Since I would have purchased all of these things on line (and had the flaps installed) for around 350-400, I figure that saves me another 550 over my previous "best" deal.
So CVT Sport: 22720 - 500 - 22220 + wheel locks, mats, cargo tray and maintenance.
Exact model and color, fresh from the factory. Never even been test driven. Only fee I'm being charged is 75 for doc.
Based on brian's dead on coaching, I think there is probably another 2-300 $ in there to go get, but since I am particular about color and timing (need to take possession in the next two weeks) I'm starting to feel that I did okay. I should also mention that this dealer is 10 minutes from my house. Other dealers were up to an hour away. A pain if you ever have trouble with the car. This dealer also has stellar satisfaction ratings.
Brian - I'm still interested in what you learn from Staten Island on Thursday on a white sport...just to keep these guys honest. For another 1-200$ I'm not going to sweat it. For 500, I'll have an issue.
Biggest thing I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is the new price delta between the Sport and the LX. Based on this board, what was originally around 1400 OTD is now 2k due to the relative ratio of LXs on the lots vs Sports. I just keep telling myself that what I spend now will partially come back to me in trade in/resale value later. In the meantime, I can enjoy the tighter driving dynamics, much nicer interior and the improved exterior posture of the vehicle. I just won't tell my wife how much more I'm actually spending for 4 extra horsepower ;-)
I got that Honda for 25500 (OTD). Is that a good deal ?Should I go take it or wait more?
I've also heard that people have had difficulty making them pay for repairs. This is my thinking going in...to simply decline. Am I stupid?
Take the deal. its 10 mins from your house..
I can tell you getting you 500 below invoice price on your model plus flex cash is 100% do-able.
If you want to travel 1 hour in light traffic to me i'll make it happen saving you 250 dollars.
If you want to wait till the end of June you most likely will save more.
your model is a harder buy due to supply and demand.
I suggest if your not going to call or email about 30 dealerships the last days of June... to take the offer from your mentioned dealership. No dealer is going to give you much better than 500 dollars below invoice on June 10th.
Make dealer closest to your house sweat it out......tell them your buying at the end of the month. You have lower offers.. I would think you could knock off a couple off hundred more.
You play the game at month's End.

Good price go for it.. Stay away from anything the dealer wants to sell you. Just say thankyou No ,No ,NO
Huskerfan has posted some good advice re read what he has said and go get your Accord. Let us know how you did..
23 Telluride SX-P X-Line, 23 Camry XSE
Thawda, I did a search for EXL, OTD, and VA. Seems like someone paid $26.1K in May so with flex cash, the $25.5K may be possible. Hold firm but don't be surprised if the sales manager says that salesman made a mistake and you can't do the deal at the price. He will counter offer. If it is not a lot more, make a counter offer yourself. If it is a lot more, just start walking out and keep walking unless he comes back with a more reasonable offer, then start negotiating again. It's not a contest to get the lowest price in this forum, you just want to get a good deal and if you have to go a little above $25.5K you're still doing good, especially at this time of the month
