I believe the 2013 Accord is due to arrive at dealerships in late fall. You should expect to pay quite a bit more for it than current models though. That's just the way it is. That's the reason I went ahead and purchased a 2012 Accord SE.
 
As far as your Camry/Accord question. My best advise to you would be to make sure you test drive both. I previously drove a 2003 Toyota Camry, which I absolutely loved. My husband has it now and it still drives great. I always wanted a Honda Accord, so when I saw the great deals available, plus 0.9% interest rate, I went ahead and purchased one, without soo much as test driving the Camry. I immediately had second thoughts, simply because it is a completely different feel. The Camry is soo smooth, you barely feel it shift, whereas the Accord is louder and a little jerky. I've only had my Accord for about 3 weeks, and I am slowly getting used to it, but it wasn't love at first sight, unlike my previous Camry. It's a very nice car, but for my own peace of mind, I should have test drove the Camry so I could really make a good comparison. Reliability wise, I think they are both pretty equal, and I wasn't willing to pay $1K more for the Camry, plus a higher interest rate. As long as you test drive both, you should be in a position to make the best decision for you. Everyone is different, and the same things that turn me off about my Accord, are things others actually enjoy about it, so it's important to check them out for yourself.

#26888 of 29562 Looking to buy Accord LX by hx_guy

Im in the market to buy a 2012 Accord LX sedan w/ Auto transmission by the end I this month, I figure it's the best time to buy and get a good deal.
 
I found one at a locks dealer, MSRP is 22,900 and they sent me an Internet quote of 19,187.
I actually thought that was a pretty decent initial quote but then saw people in here are getting them under 18,000? Though it does seem like east coast prices may be cheaper than here in AZ.
 
 I'm going to email some other dealers and see what the best price I can get is.

Based on several dealers in Western New York this week, getting an LX Auto at around 19,000 is a pretty good deal; desperation may increase as the summer goes on, but they seem to be holding there. I was on an LX, but may bump to an SE is I can get it under 21,000.

I have been looking for EX manual all over, and none of the dealers in the area seem to have it. I have even expanded the search to Erie and Syracuse. The 3 immediate ones, Don Davis, Lia, and West Herr all look at me like I am nuts asking for a loaded EX with a stick. They all seem to have LX's with stick.
 
But, who in their right mind wants to drive a Honda with an automatic?

I am not sure if the quotes you guys are getting in NY is just the price of the car and not the OTD price, but I am in NJ, and I just purchased an Accord SE on May 30th, and I was able to get it for $19,000. The OTD price including, tax, title, everything was about $21,668. I had also considered the LX, and for that model, the quote from the same dealership was $17,500. The dealer I used was Paul Miller in West Caldwell, NJ. I did most of the negotiating via email, then negotiated a bit more in person.

I may go for the SE as well. OTD on that in Western New York is looking around 21.8 or so. I am still working price, so may get that better.
 
Able to get LX at about 19.8 with destination, taxes fees included.

I have an exl manual. Honda manuals are sweet if you like to shift for yourself! Best manual I've ever had, and I've owned half a dozen over 30 years.
 
Hold out for what you want! Expand your search. Who cares if they think you're nuts, buy what you really want...

Wow! How did you manage to get an EX-L with a manual? I thought the highest trim they offered with the manual was EX?
 
I have a 2005 CR-V EX with the manual that my dealer had to jump through hoops for and basically ordered it from Japan. (I am friends with the dealership owner's son, but I would have to drive 400 miles to get it from them, since I moved)
 
It is really sweet. My wife has a 2010 CR-V EX with slushbox, and even though on paper, the 2010 has 20 more horses than the 2005, and if you take into account the changes in the SAE metrics, the difference is more like 30 hp at the crank, the 2005 is SIGNIFICANTLY faster and livelier than the 2010, which is not a slouch to begin with.
 
Even 8 years later, I get a smile when I drive it after a prolonged break riding the bike (Honda too) in the summer.
