So, I'm helping my sister buy a car (she's getting married in August). She wants to get a car in June/July so I started researching. She really wants the new 2023 Honda Civic Sport sedan/2023 Honda Accord LX. So, I am asking dealerships in my area and Wisconsin for prices, etc, and asking for a bill of sale listing their best price and stuff.
I had a dealer not too far from me send me a bill of sale. The GM had the audacity to send me a bill of sale with a base Civic marked up $5k over sticker. I emailed him back and told him to shove that $5k up his back end. $5k over on a Civic is outrageous. Oversticker or even sticker is stupid on some new cars.
I mean, the dealer group I work for has a Honda dealer in the group (Honda City Chicago). I don't really want to ask them what kind of deal I can get from them yet. Rather see what kind of deals are out there before I hit Honda City Up. Honda pays dealers 2%~ on the holdback and stuff. Plus, bonus for units sold.
I got another quote on a base Accord. GM is giving me $2,200 off MSRP but adding a "protection package" and wheel locks I didn't ask for. So, I am back at $27,000~. Used Accord are going for roughly the price of a new one(maybe $1500 less). But, the used ones are a higher trim levels(Sport, EX, EX-L. Toruings are under $30k). Year ranging from 2019-2022. So far, the best deal I've gotten on a 2023 Honda Civic Sport Sedan is $500 off MSRP. The best deal I've gotten on a 2023 Honda Accord LX is $2,200 off Sticker. If the dealer takes off the protection package. Which, if I go in person, I am pretty sure they'll knock off. hat's a $100 difference between the Accord and the Civic
I don't really like buying the first gen of any car. Usually, there are bugs in the first gen that doesn't get taken care of until the 2nd or third model year.
