Brian, you're paying $3 for a gallon of milk? Why don't you try emailing 20 dairy farmers near you

#28458 of 29871 2013 Accord LX CVT near Washington, DC by charles99

We purchased a 2013 Accord LX CVT yesterday at Sport Honda in Silver Spring. Here's the breakdown:
 
$19,000 - car
$790 - destination
$1,108.74 (6% MD tax ... amt. slightly lower due to trade in)
$134 - title (MD, plus we transferred old tags)
$189 - processing
 
$21,221.74 - OTD
 
We were very pleased with the service at Sport. We began our search process on Monday of this past week by requesting TrueCar quotes from three Maryland dealers, and by also contacting six other dealers directly for quotes. We wanted no dealer-added accessories. Whenever we spoke to someone by phone, or by email for that matter, we refused to give our target price, waiting for them to offer something first.
 
My wife and I shared a Google spreadsheet online so that as we were both at work and received updates from our dealers we could post there for each other to see. As we started receiving quotes, we would share the lowest from each round to the dealers where we were interested. Some were really high and we could tell wouldn't bend. Some were very pushy and only wanted us to come in. In the end, Anderson Honda and Criswell also offered good quotes to us by email, but we went to Sport because of their customer service, that Julius had been working there for 20 years (nice to see that sort of longevity in a salesperson), and because of their interest in matching our lowest quote.
 
We were trading in a 1998 Civic and knew we wouldn't get much for it. Their initial offer was well under what we wanted, so we countered by asking for $500 more for the trade-in and an additional $500 off the cost of the new car; they gave us the extra for the trade-in and most of what we asked for the car, which is how we ended up at the numbers above.
 
Let me know if you have any questions about our experience. We love the car so far, and were quite pleased with the price!

That's the best price so far on a LX. I am looking for the same car, would u mind sharing the quotes u got an the dealership's names.
 
Not sure about your trade, but the price and breakdown is excellent and if I am not mistaken the best one so far in this forum. Though I am saving some extra money myself, I would buy for that price sooner.
 
Now, your trade in was not included in the final numbers you posted, correct? Again, please share the price quotes u got and the dealerships u got them from, thanks and by the way good job to the 2 of u.

I think his deal included some positive trade equity. I doubt you can buy an LX for 20.0k + ttl without some other rebate/equity. Best deal I've seen on here is 21.9k otd in Ohio

I hope not, but yes the best I have seen was around that or 21.6k for someone in VA where tax are lower. That would be an ideal price for me. Depending on some stuff I might be able to wait until memorial day, but may be as soon as within the next couple of weeks. That's why I was happy to see that price, we will see.

I am looking for the exact same car. I sent out a few emails to local dealers in NoVA and this was the best quote directly from email:
 
The "out the door" price for the 2013 Accord LX Sedan is $21,456.04. We do have a large selection to choose from.
 
This was Pohanka Honda in Fredericksburg, VA. The price was without any sort of negotiation. Hope it helps somebody out.
 
I will wait till end of the month to see if they can go lower. I am trying to get to $20500 OTD inclusive of 3% taxes in VA.

#28464 of 29871 2013 Accord EX-L sedan 4-cylinder quote by jimmytulsa

Feb 17, 2013 (11:54 am)

I have received the following out-the-door quote on a Accord EX-L 4-cylinder. The dealer is Honda of Bartlesville near Tulsa, OK.
 
$28,785 MSRP
 
$26,399 Invoice
 
$25,625 OTD
 
I will pay TTL at a tag agency of my choice. It is 3.25% Excise tax and up to $140 for registration fee.
 
I received a quote of $635 by email for HondaCare from Hyannis Honda for 6years/100K mile warranty.
 
What do you fine folks think? Is there a cash incentive on the way from Honda?
 
Thanks.

We initially had a low quote from Pohanka Honda in Maryland, but it felt shady for multiple reasons. The lynchpin for us was an OTD quote of $21,869.50 from Anderson Honda, just north of Baltimore. Both Sport Honda and Criswell agreed to match that. We went with Sport for the reasons I mentioned in my original post and got them to drive down the price even lower. Our OTD was $21,221.74.
 
As for our trade-in, it was a 1998 Honda Civic EX with 108,000 miles. It ran well, but had some major problems. Their initial offer was only $1,000. We were glad we got them up to $1,500. Regardless, the trade-in didn't really count for much ... they weren't getting much in that deal, so we were glad to get a little more out of them in trade-in value.
 
Sport Honda had a fair stock when we arrived, but I know they were doing brisk business yesterday, as I imagine most places were. Having the quote from Anderson in writing (by email) was what really helped us .
