New 2013 Honda Accord Price LX

Post is an year old but... but re posting it as I had to delete an old one and recreate a new one due to some constraints.

Purchase made in Cook County Illinois. 8.24% is the cook county Tax.

Vehicle is so far good. Pandora and all can really be used only if you have a good data plan. Hands free link is cool. You need to set it up properly. Had to leave the dealer early and so couldn't use much of his assistance to set up the hands free link.

The only thing that may be I did a hurry was to enroll for a Titanium Protection Plan from Equi-Pro. I would advice that you go through the fine print and then decide if you need it. My understanding is that the fine print gives a lot of ifs and buts. Also this the dealer showed and explained to me at the last minute and so I did not get much time to review it and had to go with the gut feeling. Also I was told that this plan can be taken only on the purchase date. You can have it for 1,2,3,4 or 5 years. I went with the 2 year option. Costs around 750$ + tax which came around to be 62$. So total of 812$.

Given below are the price details from the vehicle buyer's order form provided by the dealer. All the data given below are in US Dollars. Also I made a cash purchase. The final amount paid for 2013 Honda Accord LX was $23,516.38 (Out the Door Price). MSRP on the Honda website is $23,270.00. Based on this purchase I feel that OTD should generally be some 300$ plus the MSRP.  You shouldn't pay more than this.

I used the services of http://www.truecar.com/ & edmunds.com to get some idea before the purchase. Went with Statefarm for the Insurance. Not cheap but...
