| Just got a NEW 2003 EX-V6 Coupe with 6-speed and NAVI system for $23,000. Included wheel locks and mud guards. MSRP was $28,460. Love the tranny, the GPS navi, the 17" rims etc... | |

That strikes me as being an insanely good deal. What's MSRP on that car, like $28,400? Enjoy your new car! Johnny |

Looking at your post regarding your Accord Coup, we both got close to the same deal from Henderick Honda. I worked with a salesman who is a former police officer. No pressure at all, advised me not to go for the paint and undercoating protection. He was really nice guy, I'm not sure I've ever said that about a car salesman! The service plan offer sounded interesting for $975 (all Honda maintenance for 3 years or 45,000 miles) because Landmark has charged me at least that much on my Odyssey (2000 EX), however from my location I just don't think it's convenient enough to take to them for service. They also offered me their 7 year/70,000 miles repair coverage for $1,100 with $50 deductible. I told them last year I purchased a 7 year/75,000 mile $0 deductible Honda Care Warranty (you can buy Honda Care warranty as long as your vehicle is still covered under the "new" vehicle warranty) for the Odyssey and paid only $740 - they then dropped the price to $650. I'm thinking about it, but really don't think I need to purchase a warranty for this car -- the electronic sliding doors on the Odyssey were my motivating factor. |

I'm shopping for a '04 EX V6 automatic coupe without nav system here in the SF area. One dealer quoted $24,000 including the destination fee, but not including tax and title. Does that sound like a reasonable offer? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Just bought a new accord LX automatic (no options) in FL. New tag. Price paid: $20226.23 Out the door. |

| Would anyone with fog lights care to comment if they feel the extra money was worth it? How much of a difference do they seem to make? I am looking forward to buying a new Accord sedan, and I am not sure if I want to add them or not. | |
| really make the accord look sharp. They may even help a little in foggy conditions. Some pay as much as 550-600 bucks for them (dealer installed). If you are a good negotiator you can perhaps cut the price in half if you buy them with your new accord, instead of later. | |

"They may even help a little in foggy conditions." Just a little? What's the point if they might help just a little? Can anyone elaborate on how much they actually help? Or does everyone agree that they're mostly cosmetic? How many of you think they make the car look better? I haven't seen too many with them, so I am undecided if they make the car look better or not. |

I have an 03 EX V6. After 5 months, added the fog lights. At first, I was disappointed - I didn't think they did much. My last car had such lousy headlights, that I needed the fog lights on just to see. The Accord has terrific headlights, and so the difference was minimal. And then I had the opportunity (ha!) to drive in fog and in blowing snow. The difference was amazing. They are very focused lights, and so not needed in normal conditions. But, if you have lots of fog (or blowing snow) like we do here there is a huge difference. I kept turning them off and on, and was really impressed. I'm so glad I got them, but it took fog to know that for certain. I don't think they do anything, one way or the other, in terms of how the car looks, but I didn't get them for that. At my dealer they are ~$530 installed. Since my bumper was being replaced I had the body shop install them, bought them online, and the total was under $300. Hope that helps! |

Fog hovers a foot or so above the road, with that height being the only clear area for illumination. That's why foglights need to be mounted low, and why they don't make much difference on a clear night when the headlights are lighting up everything else. Which also suggests that the foglights need to be aimed as accurately as the headlights to do their job. I'm saying what probably a lot of you already know anyway... |
