#3929 of 21758 Fog lights on line... by lawdawgfl Feb 28, 2004 (4:54 pm)
I like the look and the utility of the fog lights. I do not like the price though. I have been on ebay and saw the fog lights for anywhere from $130 to $290. The description states they are OEM parts. Any thoughts about getting them on line and having the dealer install them?
#3930 of 21758 fog lights vs outside temp reading by jmaxe Feb 28, 2004 (6:17 pm)
I've seen where fog lights can't be paired with the outside temperature gauge which is std on my EX-V6. Is this true?
#3931 of 21758 Fog Lights & Outside Temp Gauge by firemann1 Feb 28, 2004 (8:52 pm)
I installed the OEM Honda foglights on my 2003 EX V-6. Purchased on ebay for $205 late last summer. It took me about 3 hours to install the foglights and that included cutting the holes in the bumper. The biggest challenge was running the wires under the hood. This was my first experience with the wiring harness and connectors of the 2003 Accord. The wires and connectors are easy to work with - If you know or can figure out some of the tricks with removing the wiring harness connector from the fuse block under the hood. The genuine OEM Honda foglights are a well made kit.   I like the look of the foglights - but more important, I like the light provided by the foglights - in fog or blowing / drifting snow.   Regarding foglights and the outside temperature gauge - if the vehicle has the factory installed temp gauge (on an EX V-6 for example), you can add foglights (personal experience). However, my understanding is if the vehicle does not have the factory installed temp gauge (on an LX for example) the aftermarket OEM foglights and temp gauge "interfere" with one another (I'm thinking there is only one electrical circuit or plug that either the foglights or the temp gauge can be wired to, but not both).   I've noticed the OEM "style" foglights on ebay for the last month or so - note the careful use of words in the ebay listing. The OEM style foglights appear to be an aftermarket competitor to the genuine Honda OEM foglights. However, they appear to be quite similar to the genuine OEM foglights. If anybody has experience with the Honda OEM "style" foglights, available on ebay, campared to the genuine OEM foglights, please share the experience. I needed to replace one of my foglights - it took a rock and broke the glass. Cost $95 for the part.
#3932 of 21758 Help with buying a new car.. good deal or not?? by vito Feb 28, 2004 (11:11 pm)
Hello all... I went to dealer today to get a new EX-L in Redondo Red Pearl.. Tested drive one that had 51 miles on it.. No haggle price of $22,699... According to Edmunds, MSRP is $24,300, Invoice is $21,867 and TMV is $23,082 including destination charge... The sales guy showed me the Invoice for $23,300(including destination charge.. Thinking that I am closed to the TMB, bought the car... Bought it for that price $22,699 + $299 (handling fee) + $1800 (tax) = $24,800... Seems like a good deal base on the TMV.. But reading the information in here make me feel like I just got ripped off.. Is it a good deal?? John Elway will allow you to return within three days.. I will return it.. What should I offer?? What should I try to get?? I got no options on it. Is 51 miles too much for a new car?? What is reasonable? Your response is greatly appreciated.
#3933 of 21758 "Touch of class" by joefleen Feb 29, 2004 (3:20 am)
I just bought an EX V-6 automatic without navi at San Leandro Honda (California, near Oakland). The price was $23,727 including the destination charge. In general I would say they were professional and OK to deal with. I would buy a car there again.   When I was talking with the finance manager, he sold me this service called "touch of class" where they put some stuff on the exterior and some other stuff on the interior every so often for five years. It's protective or something. He seemed to REALLY want me to buy it. He kept lowering the price. Finally it got down to $350 and he threw in a year of oil changes and inspections plus some registration service so if the car gets stolen and scattered across Northern California they can identify the parts. At that point I said OK fine whatever.   Is there any value to a protective coating or is that just a bunch of nonsense?   I'm happy with the deal and I think the car totally rules but I have a sneaking suspicion the coating might not have been the most brilliant purchasing decision I've ever made.
#3934 of 21758 if you can return it.. go ahead by ral2167 Feb 29, 2004 (5:39 am)
if you can return the car within 3 days, go ahead... seems kinda high based on what i'm reading... the invoice they showed you seems out of line with what the actual invoice is... we're looking at the exact same car-- sedan ex-l 4 cylinder for 23400 + destination.... 22699 seems like a bad deal...
#3935 of 21758 Buying in California by slawenda Feb 29, 2004 (10:05 am)
Does anyone know if there are any additional taxes or fees in California, other then the higher sales tax? Are total "out-the-door" prices similar to other states, except for the higher sales tax? I am moving back to California soon, and I am debating buying the car (Accord sedan) in another state versus in California. Please no comments about California other than answering my question!
#3936 of 21758 Add on to #3929.. Wrong Invoice. Good or Bad?? by vito Feb 29, 2004 (10:33 am)
Sorry.. On Message 3929, I said Invoice was 23,300.. It was actually $22,300 which is the number of Edmunds including Destination charge.. Basically, I got it for $400 over invoice.. Good or bad deal???
#3937 of 21758 ral2167 by vito Feb 29, 2004 (10:43 am)
If you are looking at 23400+destination, that would be higher than I can get at 22699. Let me know how it turn out. thanks.
#3938 of 21758 Touch of Class Question by snarepeat Feb 29, 2004 (12:40 pm)
I bought a Ex-V6 in Marin County, CA for $24000 including destination. They had already put on a "Protective Package", mouldings around the bumpers, wheel wells and door jambs for $500? Also said that Perma-Plate i.e "Touch of Class, a coating for the paint and also interior surfaces/leather would help keep the paint perfect. Not sure of the price of Perma-Plate but as my new Honda will sit outside, I was interested if anyone had bought this protection, for how much, and if they thought this had some value. Stoked over this Accord.
