All things being equal, there should be better discounting on 2017 (9th generation) Accords when the next generation rolls out. However, if the 2018's are a disappointment, that goes out the window.
A reporter is looking to talk to someone who was originally shopping for a new car, but decided to buy a CPO vehicle instead because it was a better deal. If you're willing to assist, please send an email to PR@Edmunds.com no later than Monday, January 16, 2017.
I am looking for accord 17 touring in Bay area,CA. The best quote I got is of 33K $ OTD ( 30K which includes destination fee + 10% all CA taxes). Can I expect better quote than this in Bay area?
the price before destination, doc fee and TTL would be roughly $25K
22% off MSRP on the base price
I didn't close the deal as it was 4-5 hrs away. Every other dealer (and high level people that talked internal pricing details) I ran the deal by said it was total BS - and that I wouldn't get the car.. and not in the normal way where they tell you every other quote that's lower from their quote is a thief and a liar..
Amazing deal if it was real.. but based on all my checks, someone most likely screwed up . and once I wasted 5 hours of my life getting there and they saw the loss they were taking on that model. that car would have "already been sold to someone else" or whatever BS they pull when they realize they messed up a quote
i just moved over to the Boston area and looking to purchase a 2017 Honda CR-V EX AWD. I've never purchased and was hoping I can get some advice here. What price should I target? Thanks!
besides, you have to a sunroof to make sure the leather seats are 100 degrees in the summer
don't start the pricing process too far in advance.. if you want serious offers.. you have to be closing in 1-2 days, ideally same day..
offers are really non comparable, , make sure you know what is included or better yet what all they are leaving out.. if they can't break it out in a meaningful way. you're most likely looking at base price or base price + destination..
base price
destination ($835)
dealer installed accessories. (~$1k ish) - some dealers will quote OTD prices that EXCLUDE these accessories
= subtotal
sales tax (.0625 in texas)
inventory tax (.0025 to .0035 in texas)
title/registration ($126 in texas)
Doc fees (ranges $150 to $175ish in texas, there's a large variance by state)
= true OTD price
get quotes in writing, with this level of detailed breakout.. and if anyone has any advice on how to make a written offer binding. .I'm all ears.
Bay Area (Northern California)
I was offered $27,500 for a 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L.
MSRP: $32,905
Invoice: $30,087
I am still waiting for an OTD price from the dealership. I am assuming this quote offer is good though?
My question is, is there anything I should be prepared for when walking into the dealership to sign papers? Or maybe things I should solidify/clarify before heading in?
My first time buying a car so any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
UPDATE:
OTD $30,138
Another thing I am curious about is that I would really like to add parking sensors to the front and rear. Does anyone know if Honda dealerships can make this as an optional add in? It seems like you can't do it.

My Suggestion .. Your area MD has excellent pricing... Play the game you will save more $$$...Hold out to the very end of the month , get more dealerships involved. You should be able to get another $500 to 1000 lower depending on your negotiating skills and if you buy last 2 days, last day of this month or next. Your pricing leverage comes by letting all your targeted dealers know your buying that day or tell each dealer ... meet my price of XXX I buy today. Dealers that don't have your Accord on there lot will result in a higher price.
If you need suggested md dealers let me know...............................Good luck

Rule #1 Never rush buying.... Negotiate with all above dealers that you don't mind driving to... Then letting each dealer know X price gets your business today or down the road. Then sit back and let each dealer bid for your business. decide what earns your business another $600, maybe 1k.. then take that number and negotiate the [non-permissible content removed] out of it.

I do not think so. In Northern California I was offered $22,888 before tax, fee etc via online before even entering the dealership. Let me know what you get
I've been searching my local dealers via online and have come across a low quote. This is one of the automated ones you get when you request to look at prices:
MSRP: $27,050
Invoice: $25,483
Dealer Quote: $22,950 with dest, charge
My question is can I ask for maybe $22,000, say $22,150 and see what I get? Should I contact the dealers now and get a few quotes or wait some until the end of the month? I'm also a recent graduate so there's a $500 incentive from me (also, should I hold off on that info or?) This would be my first car purchase.
Thank you!
E-mail the dealerships directly through their websites with a $22.5 offer (or whatever # you pick) and see what they say. End of the month buying gives you the most leverage.
I had better pricing success with out of the way dealers and also with some (not all) dealerships run by the Sonic Automotive Group.
If the new graduate incentive is offered directly by Honda I personally wouldn't mention it at first.
Keep us posted!

Dealer in Houston, TX
Just as a suggestion as to how I started: I got a quote from truecar.com and edmunds. It showed me a quote of $23,096 in my area. I would suggest use fremont,ca or concord, ca as an example, since the out-of-the-way dealers in the bay area were more inclined to match or beat a price versus those located in Oakland, San Jose,etc. From there various dealers will contact you to match it or (only a few) offer to beat it by a few.
Internet price: $23,096
Sale price: $22,500 (yay!)
OTD: ~24,8k
My deal didn't even have the color I wanted in stock, so they traded with another dealer at no charge to me.
I would suggest getting online quotes from these dealers located in these cities: Santa Rosa, Concord, Livermore, Fremont, Daly Cit (Serramonte), Sacramento (Mel Rapton), Fairfield (Steve Hopkins Honda, the one I finalized with). The salesmen here were more inclined to call and negotiate prices.
Good luck!
