I purchased the 06'Accord EX V6, Carbon Bronze/Ivory Interior about 3 weeks ago from Grand Honda in Elmhurst, IL for $23,995 + standard TTL and standard $55.39 Doc Fee. I am extremely happy about the whole purchase and how painless the transaction was in terms of time and meeting my expectations. Additional Details: After emailing/phoning several local dealers to get their quotes and going on a 2nd visit to a local Honda dealer to try and "work out a deal" who was only 4 miles away on a Friday afternoon. I later walked out indicating that I had to see for myself if the pricing I was trying to hit was legit or if it was as they claimed - the car I wanted would be loaded with overpriced "dealer installed extras" i.e. spoilers, dealer kits, etc...and as such, the price I was seeking would not be available. After leaving, I called Grand Honda near their closing time to confirm that they had the 2 colors/interiors on their lot (willing to take the chance that they might have something more than I bargained for on them) and I showed up around 9:30 Saturday Morning, walked the lot with the rep and sure enough they had many EX V6's all with a different level of "extras" - however the Carbon Bronze EX V6 was pimped up the least - MSRP included dealer extras of the following : outside temp gage, pinstripes, and fenderwell trim. I decided to go on another test drive to spend time with the rep - part to show my excitement in the vehicle, but also to ask general questions that might lead him to believe I was either going to finance and/or lease the vehicle vs. my actual intent of paying cash. (just in case that is a way they could roll the dice on giving me a low cash price and hope to make up part of the difference when financing) Back at the desk, he showed me some bogus financing figures on MSRP, of which I indicted I wouldn't buy the car at MSRP and we should be looking at a lower figure to calculate the payments - it was at this point he asked at what price and I showed him a print out of an email from them which indicated the 23,995 price and that they had every color in stock and pricing was good only until Monday. Sales Rep used the classic close of 23,995 will get you to buy today and I agreed as my other pricing I was getting was 1K+ or more higher..(and the next best quote was online from Open Road Honda for 24.5K via their quoting system in NJ!!!!). I fully expected he/mgr would try to haggle over the extras, which I was prepared to negotiate as best I could out of the deal - but when he came back not a thing was mentioned about why they couldn't honor the price, etc and surprisingly we had a deal at MY price. Had thoughts the deal would fade when I went to finance and explained that I was going to pay cash and I didn't need any extras in terms of extended warranties, etc.. .but the finance manager went about his duties in completing the sale and I left the dealership around 11:30 in my new Accord!! From my experience I was very happy - however I could see how others might not have the same luck if they are looking for a car w/o the extras and at the best price. I am glad I took the extra time and made the trip – in this case it appears to worked to my benefit.
