Just wondering what do you guys think? Should I go there and still try to negotiate the price or I'm getting a good deal here....
Thanks for any feedback.... You guys are awesome here
2013 sport automatic, white exterior
msrp- 24980
selling price- 21947
nj tax 7%-1536
tire fee- 7.50
doc fee- 359
reg, 4 years- 301
flex cash- minus 500
total- 23651
I was in contact with numerous dealerships and feel that I received a fair price being that I spoke with 2 managers who told me personally that they could not match or do better with this deal being that it was a loss for the dealership.
Hope this helps.
If anyone is interested, I bought from Autonation Honda in Lithia Springs, GA. The salesman I worked with was Marion Yonder...very professional. Please mention my name - Pranav Patel. Thanks.
Oh ... Am i allowed to respond to this posts. seems like the 2 new members with 2 months in this forum have issues with a couple of off subject post advice.
Sorry guys and thanks for your contrbutions here.

Why don't you write one post with all your ideas about how to buy a car, and then just reference the message number when a newbie asks for buying advice or appears to be on the wrong track.
You'd be providing the same great consistent advice but would do the rest of us a favor as it gets a little tiresome.
As far as me repeating my posts .. Believe me people will not go back and read 4 or 5 posts. Most normal folks can read simply advice and get a decent deal and not clog up this forum with stupid questions. Some need more help. Thats why many of us including myself post often. Thats what moves this board.
You could go tru several other forums and none as good as this one. Why?? the contributors here post often and keep telling folks what they need to do.
You take what you need from this forum buy or lease and move on. Then you wont be tired of reading buying advice posted over for different people.
Blueiegod, who is a forum member for over 10 yrs in these forums has contributed in this forum with great advice to folks.. He responded to happymans' alarm question that i posted. Al thou i did not agree with some of his post it was Insightful and held some truths to alarms and new car tech and immobilzers. i agree the leather seat thing was a bit much but we dont need guys with no time in these forums posting move on when said poster ask for alarm help. Which in return generated 3 posts on it. And 2 were mine. Not 5 or 10.
Please let us guys get back to helping this forum and stop worrying about a few posts off topic. Both those posts were Un called for.

please explain!

To answer your question Dmv, plus your states tax gets you out the door. Unless this dealer tries to sneak in another charge on you.. Call and ask before closing the deal.
Call your Ins. company and let them know you are about to purchase a new Vehicle. You need Ins. fax number so the dealership can fax over the buyers order with Vin number. In return Ins co. faxes back a temp Ins, card.

I just purchased 2013 Honda Accord EX-L V6 for $28,147 OTD at Pohanka Honda of Fredericksburg, VA. The following is the breakdown:
27185 - Invoice Price(approx.)
815 - Tax(approx.)
128 - Title/Tags
499 - Doc Fee
10 - Out of State Fee
I would like to know how I fared and if anybody has had a better deal/OTD price for the same model.
Thanks in advance,
Reddy
P.S. - Please remember two things, if trying to buy at the dealer:
1) AVOID Kristyn from the Sales Team. I would recommend Kingsley who was lot better to work with.
2) Make sure you then agree in writing/email to give you the $500 flex cash if you qualify for financing through Honda Financial Services.
I am new to this forum, and I do apologize in advance if this question has already been asked.
I was wondering what some members in MA have paid for a 2013 Honda Accord Sedan EX-L automatic without navigation. I plan to finance the car for 60 months.
I have contacted several dealerships in the greater Boston area, and so far the best sale price I was quoted was for $25,119 from Honda cars of Boston. That price only includes destination, and no other fees.
Can I do better than this?
Thanks,
Mike
I almost bought accord EX-L with navi. From Northwest Honda in 9701 Reisterstown Rd, Owings Mills, MD 21117 for $26.8k OTD but the taxes is 3%
For north carolina and tag ~75. Good luck
This is my third vehicle from the Pohanka Honda Fredericksburg dealership. Based on occasionally monitoring the posts in this forum I believe you negotiated a very good deal. Did your deal include a trade in? (my deal was strictly a new car purchase). My salesman was Matt P., my experiences with the Pohanka dealership (different salespeople each time) were all very favorable.
Another dealer emailed me saying they will match the price of any dealer and even beat it up to $500, but they are about 30 miles away from where I live. So I guess, it will depend on the final sale price and OTD price.
I might end up waiting till the end of the month to negotiate a deal.
I drove 300 miles to save $3K. Yes! $3K form where I live believe it or not.
fyi, I have been told, by one of the dealers, there is no more production of the 2013 Accord, getting ready to sell 2014 in Sep. If you can wait even one more month, you may get a better deal. just a thought. Good Luck
Take care, Bill G

If money is not a issue and its just something to think about when buying a 13 or 2014
If your not closing a deal on a 2013 Accord for 1500 to 2k below invoice price plus incentives/rebates in August you should consider buying that 2014.
Buying a 2014 Accord at invoice price and driven it 4 months in 2013 gives you 14 months of driven that car til its 1 years old in Jan,2015.. Opposed to the 2013 that will be a 1 year old model on Jan,1 2014. If you check Honda oddessy prices paid forum i did a price breakdown comparison on a yr old 2013, and 2014, honda van with 12k miles on it. Same would apply with both model accords just the price numbers would be diff.
On Jan,1 2104 your 2013 Accord depreciated about 2k off your sale price. The first 3yrs of any new vehicle is when you stand to lose the most money on your car investment Especially most American cars they have terrible Resale value.
Just something to think about for all you buyers that are debating between a 2013 and 2014 model.

Thanks for the advice.
Alot of dealers will try to sell the 2014 well above the invoice price for months.

My current (leased) 2011 328xi doesn't look so bad on paper with "only" 26,000 miles. Even though it is a MY 2011, I didn't take delivery until March of 2012. Either way it doesn't matter because MY 2011 was an abnormally long production year for BMW. They started building 2011s in May 2010 & Continued selling them until May of 2012, so my car isn't going to be worth anywhere near the stated residual value when I turn it in at the end of next September.

As previously reported I paid exactly $1000 below invoice for the car described above. The car was financed at .9% , 36 months in the minimum amount of $8500. Doc fees in NYS are regulated to be $75 and DMV fees are just what the state charges with no tack on fees (about $150.)
I purchased from Honda of New Rochelle. All details were handled via phone and email. They were very easy to deal with. (Most of my dealings were with "Anthony".)
I made my offer for an immediate purchase on Friday July 28. (I wanted 1000 below invoice plus $500 flex cash. ) They almost immediately came back with the $1000 off but no flex cash. I took their offer. Perhaps I could have counteroffered and gotten part or all of the $500. The deal was contingent upon financing the car, which I did not really need, but took the financing to get the best deal.
Several reasons I did not counteroffer: 1. They had the color I wanted (Champagne) which is relatively hard to get. The interior of this car is a light color with dark trim. I just did not like the black interiors offered with most of the other exterior colors. 2. I live in Rochester. I began "dealing" that morning by calling local outlets The dealers upstate in Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany were not making reasonable counteroffers. So I called a few in Boston and in the area north of NYC. By the time I talked to New Rochelle, I had talked to 10 outlets and was a bit tired and discouraged, so I grabbed the offer.
As previously discussed, I learned several things. See: #29978. In addition a simple thing: to get the best deal, one should finance. In most states the finance deal is "simple interest" which means that the loan can be paid off immediately with little to no interest charges. Saving $500 or so by the little bit of trouble entailed in filling out a loan application is worthwhile.
If and when I buy another new car, I will follow Brian's advice here: #29979
The car is beautiful and drives very well. (Driving home on the Thruway we scored 37 mpg--really great).
My thanks to all for advice and sharing their deals!!
One more question: when signing the papers in the dealership, I chatted with the manager. He claimed that flex cash came only with leases and not finance deals. This is contrary to what I have read in this group about Honda incentives. Perhaps this was the dealership policy in dispensing the flex cash they had, and not Honda's. Can anyone comment?
Phil
You may qualify for Honda Flex Cash! A great option to receive up to $500.00 cash down paid by AHM on a new 2013 Honda purchase. Must finance or lease. Please call dealer for details.
I have read some of your older and more recent posts. They are very informative.
Do you think if I wait till the end of the month, I might be able to get a deal for less than $25k on the EX-L w/o navigation with $500 Flex cash?
Invoice is $25,609, so let me know how low of a price I should start with when negotiating.
Thanks,
Mike

Anything is possible. If you dont try you will never know. Go thru dealerships web sites to find your model. Dealers that have your model on there lot will most likely be looking to sell. Experience tells us at this time of year dealers will have a hard time swapping cars with other dealers. They wont help each other due to the demand on certain 2013 models/ colors that are left knowing the 2014's Start to arrive sometime in late Sept.
A 5000 mile demo Accord is not a yr old car and most dealerships consider a demo like a New Car. If i could get that same model Accord new for 1200 to 1500 below invoice why take a chance with a demo even if The dealer sold me his demo for 2500 or more below invoice i dont want it../ You have to assume that 5000 mile demo Accord most likely was driven hard for 7, or 8 months. Look on the driver's door panel to see the production / del date.
If i'm putting down my hard earned money i want it brand new .

Prime Honda , Bernardi, Boch, Boston Honda, Herb Chambers,and dont leave out Weymouth Honda.
There should be no reason why at this time 1k below dealers invoice can't be had worst case scenario. dealers in Boston/ M.A. have doc fee's of 249 to 400 dollars take that into consideration when making your offer.
a 1500 below dealers invoice Sale puts you at 1100 to 1200 below invoice with doc fee's added onto bill.

Dont exclude high volume dealerships if you do not see your model/color they might be able to swap with another dealership.

Thanks waiting for the feed backs

the dealer called the manager who told me that he will run to his boss to discuss the numbers i was quoting them. Manager said that this was ridiculously low number and he will do it only if i give him my credit card to show that i am a serious buyer blah blah blah
36 month lease
12,000 miles
state tax % 855.75
msrp: 26 195
negotiated price 24,500
dmv fees 275
bank acquisition fee 795
they charged my credit for 500 as a deposit. i knew i should not have let them do it, i gave them my AMEX, i hope i could dispute it in case they try to pull anything
please tell me what you think about this deal, If i dont like something in the contract tomorrow whats the best way to make them return $500
thanks
One cannot judge a lease unless one has the money factor and residual value. The money factor can be converted to the interest rate by MF X 2400.
There is rarely a need to give a dealer a deposit. Certainly not without a written document assuring the deposit will be returned if the vehicle is not purchased.
When leasing a vehicle it is not a good idea to put any money down on the lease. All that should be paid is the first month's lease payment.
On a lease it is important to note if the actual lease includes GAP coverage. Acura does but I am not sure about Honda. If not it is usually better to buy such coverage from your insurance company if it is offered as dealers charge a grossly overpriced amount for GAP.
Honda has a lease deal on this vehicle with $0 down and 12,000 miles a year for $310. Check Edmunds incentives tab.
Regarding the salesman's use of the phrase "ridiculously low number," always remember it is never wise to believe anything a sales person says. A sales person is not you friend. Their sole job is to sell you a vehicle at the highest possible price. That is obviously not your objective.
Make sure you have the right residual/ Money factor and Cap cost before you go into dealership. Call your ins. and find out what gap ins. is on your model just incase honda's lease does not cover it.
One last tip
look over your lease and buyers order make sure dealer did not add your flex cash incentive money to the sale price of your vehicle to get you to that $24,500 number. You will see a 500 or 750 minus charge on that bill. Of coarse now that dealer has your deposit and you did not inquiry about flex cash first your not going to get it.
IF LIKE I SAID ITS ON YOUR BILL... Tell dealer that money is to be applied to your sale price of $24,500 or you walk.
Good luck

Doesn't seem you have reviewed recent posts regarding what people have been paying for the EX. The more you know, the more confident you can be in your negotiations.
Without any signed documents, you will get your credit card deposit back. If the dealer won't (and I'm sure he will), the bank will. In fact even if you signed something, until you execute the actual lease agreement, I would expect you to get your money back.
Price: $27142 includes destination fees and taxes
Registration, Tags and fees: About $150
Dealer Transaction fee: (whatever the thing is where they get you over a barrel) $499
Honda Finance Cash: -$500 (a credit for a 10k financing agreement at .9 able to pay off in 3 months)
Price on fully loaded 2013 4 Cyl. EX-L with navigation and appearance package (wheel locks, trunk tray, mud flaps and some other stuff)
$27, 290 OTD
What did you pay for the actual car, including the car, the destination delivery fee, any dealership-specific fees, and absolutely nothing else?
In other words, take that $27142, add $499 dealership "fee" for the privilege of selling you a car, then remove any taxes and state-related fees. That's the real price of the car your dealership sold to you.
And list out the "other stuff" you got. People price comparing would like to know.
The dealer had me get AHM financing and this deal involves getting $500 back from AHM
Not sure how good or bad this deal is but I only had the saturday to buy the car.
