Go to Open Road Honda's website (they are locatd in Edisson, NJ) and get an internet quote. Try and see if your local dealer can beat that price or at least match it.
 
The rule of thumb is NOT to pay more than $18000 including dealer fees and destination charge for an 05 Accord LX I-4 Auto.
 
Hope that helps......good luck.

I have a post on page 409 or so that rates a few of the Washington DC area Honda Dealers. I got mine from the internet department at Landmark honda (my experience is that the internet departments are better than the floor salespeople when it comes to prices and honesty).

Here's my deal by riship

2005 Accord EX V6 4 DR in Graphite Pearl. It's coming off a truck arriving in 48 hours. Price paid was 23,600 plus TTL. This included a free tint job that I wanted. Traded in an 03 EX V6 accord with 23K miles. They gave me 17,200. The car also had a dent which I got an estimate for that was $500. Otherwise the car was excellent though. So I figure they really gave me 17,700 for the car since I was going to get it fixed. KBB has trade in value of 16,200 for good condition and edmunds has 17,100. I previously only had a quote for 17,000 on the car and 2 other dealers wouldn't match it. Carmax offered 16,750. TTL was about 600. 6.5% tax rate here. Dealer was Goodson west in houston.

I did the trade. Ended up paying about 6300 to upgrade. Would have cost me 500 to fix the dent though, so that's really 5800 for the upgrade. Plus 600 for TTL. 6400 to own an EX V6 for 30 months and drive 23K miles. I'm happy with that.

Barry:
 
The info you refer to is regularly updated on sites like Edmunds and carsdirect.com etc. You can also check in to this forum regularly and see what people are finding out as they buy cars.
 
Dealer Holdback
Is a percentage of the total MSRP that the manufacturer holds and then gives back to the dealer, often at the end of the year or quarter.
 
I recently bought a car from Bernardi Honda in Natick, MA over the Internet and found that they gave very competitive quotes and were willing to beat other dealers prices. I originally sent in for a "quote from dealers in your area" via a few of the big car sites like carsdirect. I heard from multiple dealers. Some gave quotes while others asked me to come in. I told them all I only wanted quotes and eventually all did give me a quote.
 
Holdback is typically 3% of MSRP for a Honda and it is not hard to find out what it is for a certain car by researching on the Internet.
 
The equation I find that works best is
 
Dealer Invoice price + destination charge - holdback - any dealer to consumer rebates (have not seen many for the Accord to be honest) - factory to dealer incentive (harder to track down but can be guessed at or found out by monitoring this forum + titles, tax, registration, license and other dealer fees = best out the door price (OTD price) for a car.
 
Let me know if you need any more help and definitely follow this forum as it is a very good one.
 
Mike

Oh and I forgot; this is what I got as a quote for a friend from Bernardi Honda at the end of May just as a point of reference for you:
 
2005 Honda Accord LX Auto 4door
$17,370 for car (including destination fee) + 5% sales tax to the state of MA + $284 fee
($269 if transferring) that included: plates, registration, title, inspection sticker, doc fees
 
That was everything and it was a very good OTD price.
