First time poster, long time reader. I am in the market for a 2019 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T car with a manual transmission, which has been very difficult to find. Went to the dealer armed with the knowledge gained from this forum and was given these numbers because they are a Costco dealership so I tried to get a deal using the costco membership:
MSRP: $31,100
Price with discount: $27,300
Monthly payment: $359
Term: 36 months, 12k miles
Residual value: $17,379
Due at Signing: $814.81 which includes the first month’s payment.
Location: Lake County, Illinois
I know the rest DAS includes the docking fee (I think he said was $170) and new license plates. He did not print out anything so I do not have any other specifics. He also said that he cannot change the money factor, it is set by Honda. He says it is 53%. I did not agree to anything, I walked out saying I would think about it.
Nice car - I picked up an automatic 2.0t Sport from Valley Honda in Naperville IL the last week of August for $346/mo for 15k miles (with $500 college grad applied - works for masters programs too) with a similar DAS and MSRP. The 12k mikes a year was ~325/mo. I would recommend calling them and telling the price you want with 0 DAS except plates and fees (and first month if you want). I had to call 5-6 dealerships to even get someone to go under $350/mo for 12k miles/yr.
I’m planning on looking at the same Honda at the Naperville dealership. Is there someone you can suggest I speak with because that deal, if i could still get it, is pretty darn good.
