Replying to: akkijain (Jun 18, 2005 6:13 pm) I think you are below actual dealer cost. 24673 invoice - 3% holdback - $750 maximum dealer incentive=23,183. Most dealers here seem pretty confident that they will meet their sales quota. If its the opposite there, they may be willing to take a loss in order to meet their quota. If your unaware teh dealer incentive increases if they meet their quota. So by selling cars at a loss, they meet quota which raises the incentive on all cars sold, so there is a net profit. Just make sure that the car hasn't been sitting around for 6 months. There are a few of those here. Sticker should be 27,365 not 27,215. But overall, I think your deal is excellent and I would take it. You are 2115 under Edmunds TMV of 25,115. |

| I just beat TMV by over 1600. It seems like most posters are well below TMV. I think that edmunds should start using these posts to configure a great bargain number. Most edmunds users probably just look at the TMV and figure they are getting a good deal when they could get much better. | |

Replying to: riship (Jun 18, 2005 12:12 pm) So you pulled the trigger huh????? Glad to hear it...for what you got out of your trade...and the 6300 you paid to upgrade...I would say your 03 EX V6 only cost you about 200 bucks over the 30 months...which is not bad at all! Have you seen the pics for the new 06 Accord? What do you think? Kind of looks like the Accord coupe with those tail lights right? Great Deal!!!! |

I bought from Jim Coleman in clarksville (inbetween baltimore and DC). Bought my accord: EX-L 4dr 4cyl Auto. $22,664 OTD After we negotiated the price. I was offered all these dealer options: 1) rustproofing 2) undercoating 3) some sort of coating on the paint so you will won't ahve to wax for 8 years 4) some sort of leather seat protection -auto start -proximity senors -lojack I was totally unprepared for this as i hadn't done this part of the research. I did all the price research and so I knew what i should be paying and what is a good deal. Now I will admit I would probably have refused all these options normally, but i just lost my 600 dollar Treo 650 cell phone the previous day and i didn't get the 5 dollar per month insurance on it so now i'm stuck with the rest of my 2 year contract and no way to get a discounted price on a new phone (i have to pay full price). So when they pushed hard on the lojack my fiance and I were tempted. When we said no at first and "thought about it" they came back at us and said they would throw in 2 of the 4 options (the numbered ones above) for free. we hemmed and hawed and finally said if they did 3 of the 4 we would do the lojack. they claimed that 1 of the 4 options would cost like 285, 2 of the 4 was 399, 3 of the 4 was like 550 and all four was like 695. i don't remember all the prices but that was the gist. Anyway, she agreed so fast my head spun making it seem like we got short end of the stick since she so readily agreed i felt i could have gotten more from her.... so bottom line the lojack cost $695 + tax and made the final car price $23373 out the door. Now, did i get "taken". How much is lojack really? she claimed that its normally 1000 dollars to get it. and the discount was being offered only in honda dealerships. I realize that the options numbered 1-4 probably aren't worth nearly what honda is charging but please don't tell me they are completely worthless. Please help. This is my first car purchase, and i researched alot about the price but when finally faced with these "options" i was not prepared. If some of you could give me and all the other accord buyers some insight on them I'm sure everyone would appreciate it.

Found a link for 06 Accord spy photos: http://www.autoblog.com/entry/1234000467047059/ Main change are the taillights -- they're LED for 06. Does anyone think the slightly new design will be enough to drive down the asking price for 05's due to people wanting to buy the 06's instead? If so, how much lower do you think? Anyone with fairly informed guesses please reply. In addition, has anyone had experience using car transport service for a newly purchased car that was bought far from where you live? Most estimates I've see online for transporting Accords were around $800-$1000. What risks should I be aware of? Finally, anyone else seeking to purchase an Accord in the Tucson, Az area? Share your experiene please (how you went about it, where you ended up buying, OTD price paid showing itemization, etc). I know I'm asking for several things here, but advance thanks to anyone who replies.

At least here in the Phoenix Market, the TV commercial they are airing for the Valley Honda Dealers, features the Accord in 2006 trim. Even does a close up on the rear lights. Although I dont think they are actually advertising it as a 2006, just advertising that there are "good deals" now. Like every dealre does every day of the week.

Replying to: akkijain (Jun 18, 2005 7:06 am) No this price does not include destination fees with all the charges and 6 % sales tax its costing 19281.00. Is this correct price for 05 LX Accord ? I got this quote from Acedamy Honda, Old Bridge, NJ Thanks
