Honda Accords cheaper in California than Texas? Everything in California is usally much more expensive. My daughter can barely get by because everything cost so much. Yet, Accords are cheaper??? Anyone know what is going on? I tried several zip codes in Texas and Oklahoma and all are around $1700 more. No Logic? Jim

Howdy... just wanted to give folks a heads up on some good deals going on. I just purchased my Accord today for $17,299. ($19061 including 8.75% sales tax, dmv, tire fee). I got an internet quote from autowest for 17,399 (including destination), and Anderson Honda in Palo Alto beat it by $100. I tried several internet departments at other dealers, and only one distant dealer would match it. As long as you have a legit internet quote in writing, Anderson Honda will beat it. Anderson has the same car advertised (1 at this price) for 17,688, not so bad in itself! |

I can't understand how Edmunds came to the conclusion that the Accord has a high depreciation cost. Just to compare, I looked at the Acura TSX - Accord - total cash price 29,511. First year depreciation - 5662 which is less than 20% TSX - total cash price - 31,741. First year depreciation - 6594 - over 20% Depreciation cost is shown to be very low (the bar) for the TSX and near high for the Accord. How did Edmunds arrive at this valuation? Even the total depreciation cost as a % of the total price is lower for the Accord. The TCO numbers are completely misleading! |

Just wanted to first say thanks to everyone for their posts over the last month. I learned so much! I had been researching buying a new Accord EX V6 w/out Nav. for the last 6 weeks. I'm in Austin, TX, but got internet quotes from Temple, Waco, San Antonio, and Houston. Someone told me about Russell Smith Honda in Houston, and I'm glad they did. They gave me an internet quote of 23,619.00. I tried hard to get both Austin dealerships to at least match this, but they said they couldn't come close. I had NO Trade-In and told them I would be paying Cash. I even offered them 25,400. (Out The Door), but they said they would be losing way too much money. When I showed them the quote from Russell Smith, they said they were "Low-balling" me. They told me to get them to fax a Purchase Order (signed by the manager) with the VIN # on it. When I got home I called them, and they had no problem doing it! This was on May 30th. I drove to Houston the next day, and had not one problem. They gave me the car for exactly what the quote was. Here's how it broke down: Car Price: 23.619.00 Tax: 1,476.19 (6.25% in Texas) Inspection/Title 58.88 License Fee 72.30 Doc Fee 50.00 ---------------------------------------------- "Drive Out Price" $25,331.12 I got the Satin Silver, which comes with black leather! It's fabulous. It drives like a dream. I test drove the 4 cylinder as well, but liked the V6 MUCH better!! It had 2 miles on it when I drove it off the lot, when I got to Austin, it had 170, but well worth it, as I saved around 1,100 by buying in Houston! |

Replying to: cusafr (Jun 05, 2005 11:34 am) Yes, this is because of your government [which you elected by theway] which is service oriented [you pay more taxes] and also very compassionate [you pay more taxes] and environmentally friendly [organizations pay more to do business, reflects in higher prices to you] and quite inefficient [just like most governments] and heavily influenced by those special interest groups [so what else is new?] "Honda Accords cheaper in California than Texas? " Yes, what is at work here is Competition and volume. There are Honda dealerships at every street corner, competing to sell you an accord and try to make a dime off it. |
