xjones75: While we haven't bought an Accord EX V7 in the Atlanta area recently we have bought 8 new Hondas from various local dealers over the last few years. Our best experiences have been at Gwinnet Place (huge inventory) and Hennessy Honda (bought a car there last Saturday).
 
Team Honda in Lithia Springs and Ed Voyles Honda are close behind.
 
We will never go back to Lanier Honda, although a few people on here have bought from there and have been satisfied. We went there before we bought our 03 coupe and they wanted a crazy amount of money for a car we purchased for invoice at Team Honda.

I purchased my Accord EX-V6 on April 30th for $23642+TTL. Mine also included the dealer "3-pack" and an environmental protection package(2 year warranty). I purchased in Dallas, Texas.

jruff> If the rebates are out there, why doesn't
jruff> Honda advertise them like everyone else
jruff> does?
 
I don't have a definitive answer for you just a guess. By offering "stealth" discounts through "Marketing Support" (same thing as Manufacturer to Dealer Cash), Honda may be seeking to keep their resale value high.
 
Typically, direct Consumer rebates lower the resale value of vehicles.
 
Also, in some parts of the country where sales are already steady or competition among Honda dealers is weak then the dealer will just keep this additional cash as profit. There is no mandate to pass it along to consumers as there would be as a customer rebate.
 
jruff> But none of those rates show up on
jruff> Honda's website. Nor do the dealer rebats
jruff> that everyone has been talking about.
 
Usually, these "Marketing Support" deals show up here on Edmunds in their Incentive and Rebate section.
 
Between March 15 and 30 it showed that Honda was offering a $400 "Marketing Support" to dealers. Since then I have checked periodically for a similar offering in April and May. I never saw any listed. However I suspect that there was "something" out there because quite a few folks reported on this board getting deals below true dealer cost (Invoice minus Holdback) in April.
 
Perhaps, Edmunds just didn't know of these offers and therefor never posted them. I don't know the answer. I too have seen various postings on these boards saying there is a $200 to $600 "Marketing Support" available at this time.
 
One person said the dealer told them that there was Mfg to Dlr cash available. Getting it from the horses mouth is probably pretty reliable. This of course is to be distinquished from any kind of "dealer discount" off MSRP which is probably just a come-on.
 
Perhaps someone who has had recent contact or is in current negotiations with a Honda dealer can ask them straght out if there are curently any Mfg to Dlr incentives and in what amount and how long they last and then post the result here.

I just read in the Washington Post the other day that Honda's sales were off by 2.4% in April.
 
"...Among Japanese automakers, Toyota rose 10 percent, Nissan Motor increased 14 percent and Honda Motor dropped 2.4 percent."

Honda finally updated their website with the current financing offers. Maybe they had to check on Edmunds to see what they were offering.

Just bought a 2004 v6 nav accord at $150.00 less than invoice in so cal. It was the cars direct price but never had a dealer attached to it. Had to jawbone the local dealer a little bit. But they agreed, no trade-in or dealer accesories. $25891.00 plus T&L. Also the salesmen was not aware of the financing from honda.

We just completed a deal at Hennessey Honda. It was simpler than I could ever imagine. We purchased a 2004 Accord EX-L for $23,000 out the door, including all fees and 7% sales tax. We gor several quotes within $200-$400 of each other- Hennessey just had the car we wanted.

We bought our Odyssey at Hennessy last weekend. They did have a nice selection of Accords.

I just checked the prices at Intellichoice
 
Honda EX V6 auto with leather and nav - 23,145
Honda EX V6 auto with leather NO nav - 21,348
 
Are these realistic prices because I am getting internet quotes from dealers 1800-2000 over these. I live in the San Fran bay area.
