If you plan on transporting newborns in this car often before trading it in, then I would say stick with something with 4 doors. Today's car seats are huge, and you are going to have a time getting them in and out of a 2-door car with the front seat flipped over. A 4 door will provide much easier access.
 
Have you considered the lone '05 EX sedan they have left? I guess that depends on if you can both drive the manual (i.e., your wife as well). If she will be the primary driver and prefers an automatic, then leave that decision up to her (Civic auto vs. Accord manual). Why the Accord sedan? Mainly because of the kid and car seat factor again. It is a bigger car, and your other car is already a Civic. Also, if you take this car for out-of-town trips, the Accord sedan will have more room for luggage and baby stuff (the trunk is slightly larger even compared to the Accord coupe: 14 cu. ft. vs. 13 cu. ft., respectively). The Civic could be cramped. Then there is always the debate: is a bigger car (Accord) safer than a smaller car (Civic)?
 
So, I'm not really sure if I helped here because I just threw in a 3rd option. You might not even get as good a deal on the Accord sedan, since they only have 1 and the dealer knows it will eventually sell, whereas they have a lot of work ahead to sell twelve '05 coupes. But do think about the future and take into consideration the "baby factors": car seat installation and removal, space for diapers and other baby essentials for road trips, safety of a larger car.

I paid 24,568 plus 550 for destination. As I understood 24,568 is invoice for 2006 V6 auto.
Tax was 6% and add to that 275 NJ DMV fee for 4 year registration. $45 for dealer doc fee.
hmin's deal is much better though, almost 1000 below invoice if I understand correctly!

I don't know what you should expect in your area, but here in Cleveland I closed a deal for 2005 Accord LX MT coupe for $2000 under invoice at $16300 (destination included) + mud guards and winter mats. I started with $16000, and seems like with some more determination I could have even got it for that price. The manager was nice, not too much hassle, after some hesitation he eventually agreed on $16300 (but I had some leverage, he had about twelve 2005 coupe left on the lot). 50min discussion after test driving a couple of cars.
Apparently Honda dealers receive a $1200 sale support from the manufacturer on 2005s (the manager was telling me that it was $1200 on the V6 and $700 on the 4 cyl, is that true???)
 
I also received an ad by email from honda of bloomfield [Detroit: www.hondaofbloomfield.com] advertising the accord EX V6 for $22488 (instead of $27365), so I would not hesitate to be very aggressive on the price.
And for those interested they have a special end of the month for this Monday for the Accord 2006 LX for $19249 (instead $21375) http://hondaofbloomfield.com/Specials-PrintAd.aspx
 
Good luck

The price before TTL and destination charge
for EX V6 auto w/o Nav is approx $23500.
The dealer is Paramus Honda, NJ.
They are very nice people to deal with. It's unfortunate that
my wife says "no". She thinks it too quick to close a deal on my
first day of car shopping

That's a real good deal, $1000 below invoice! Haven't heard anything like this this early in the season for 2006 models.

The sales person told me that this offer only good if I buy before the end of Oct.
They seem to fall short of sales target for this month and thereofore push hard.
So you may take a shot tomorrow to get a nice deal there.
Good luck!

I already bought the car a couple of weeks ago. Guess I missed out on a better deal!

2006 Accord LX SE Sedan 4-cyl Automatic @ $19,450 by va_guy

Hello All,
 
I have been "lurking" on this forum for many months now, and finally decided to purchase a Honda Accord. I received an Internet Quote from Criswell Honda in Germantown, MD (I live in Virginia across the river) for a 2006 Accord LX SE Sedan 4-cylinder Automatic for $19,450 ($72 over invoice from my calculations). The only "add-on" that I was charged for were wheel locks for another $99 when I went to pick up the car, which I didn't mind paying since this car has nice alloy rims (in my opinion ).
 
This quote was over $800 less than the local dealership in Fairfax, VA that quoted me their "Employee Only Price" special that they were advertising for the weekend, plus I save another $199 by the fact that Maryland dealerships charge a processing fee of $100 versus Virginia dealerships that seem to be charging $299. All-in-all, I was very happy with my deal and the salesman I worked with (since I can't post his name on this forum, I hope I can post his initials...A.R.). No pressure and I spent the better part of a Saturday evening with the salesman test driving the new Civics and Accords.
 
The out-the-door price I paid after the wheel locks, Standard Destination Charge, Virginia Tax (3%), Tags and Title came to approximately $20,875. I've only had the car for 2 days, but am happy with my decisions on which car to buy and on the dealership to buy from.
 
Thanks for everyone's input on this forum, too!">

Did the $22,600 include $550 destination charge. The best price quote that I have received has been $23,141 which includes a $550 destination charge.
 
What is the name of the dealer ? :
