I very recently purchased a certified pre-owned 2012 Accord Coupe EX-L V6 from here. The car came loaded with every option available in the 2012 models, had a clean vehicle history and was in superb condition with only 6000 miles on it.

I am not certain of why it was priced the way it was, but the asking price was nearly $4,000 less than the KBB suggested value, and priced significantly lower than anything remotely comparable, and that includes cars with similar options and way more miles, and cars with similar miles and way fewer options.

To this end, they wouldn't budge on the purchase price, but I was okay with the asking price for what I was getting and so I went for it anyway. There was no double-talk, no hidden fees, no bait-and-switch. We agreed in principle to a price over the phone, and I did not pay a penny more. I even got what I believe was an excellent deal on my trade-in, given its condition.

I saw that Anthony Battistini had excellent reviews on a number of review sites before ever getting in touch with the dealer (you will see a number of such glowing reviews on this page), and so I called and asked specifically for him. I was pleased to find the reviews well-deserved: He was friendly, helpful, patient, and knowledgeable, and he answered all of my questions. He was never pushy, and I feel like I was treated considerately and with respect.

I have no complaints about my experience at Conicelli Honda so far. If I ever learn that my seemingly too-good-to-be-true deal was indeed too good to be true, I will update this review. However, having driven the car a lot in the past week and a half, I don't see that as a likely eventuality.

TLDR: Determine the car you want to buy, see if anyone can beat Conicelli's price, and ask for Anthony.
