Hi all! This is my first post, but I've been reading for a long time! I've been trying to get the best deal that can be had on a 2005 Accord Sedan V6 w/o navi. I've been playing the games all around the midwest region and the best deals I've gotten so far are $23,700 +TTL in Wichita, Kansas, and McDavid Honda of Irving, Texas was offering $23,500 for one without their "protection package" and $23,700 for one with. I received an email from McDavid today stating: From now until the end of June 2005, we'd like to invite you to come in and receive $1500 below invoice on all in stock V-6 Accords and 2-Door EX Accords with standard options. Customers must be present to take advantage of this special promotion. And you never know, come in and we may be able to do even better! Please email or call for an appointment. All prices are plus tax, title, license and destination and handling charges. Let's see....$24,673 - $1,500 = $23,173 not too bad I think, and they may even do better! Would someone that has a new Accord tell me if the front license plate holder can be easily removed without leaving holes or marks? The reason I ask is because in Kansas we only have a rear plate so the cars here don't have a front holder. But, I'm considering getting a car in Texas and they have both front and rear plates, so that front holder would have to come off!  Thanks to all for sharing your experiences and information! |

Replying to: tweet651983 (Jun 22, 2005 5:08 pm) I'd like to see a button on the steering wheel that would change gauge illumination from lighter to dimmer and the other way around with just one tap of a button. Now must lean forward and twist the odometer switch when headlights turned on before dark or just try to read a dim gauge cluster until it's darker outside. That's one of 3 complaints I have about my '04 Accord Sedan EX-L. The others are: the turn signal clicker is so quiet that I can hardly hear it, and the spare tire is mounted under the trunk floor with the tire valve facing down; the spare must be removed to check air pressure. I wonder who engineered that!

Replying to: richards38 (Jun 22, 2005 7:05 pm) Thanks, for a minute I thought I was crazy about the dash lights. That's my biggest problem, I have a habit of turning on the lights all the time, day or night. When I turn them on during the day the dash is too dim so I turn it up, then at night I blind myself when I get in the car. Looks like the location that is a little clockwise from the middle is the best setting for me. Only 60 miles so far, I'll adjust to dash lights, I had not noticed the other two issues you noted. I was thinking of getting the EX w/leather, but with Ohio weather extremes and two young children I decided to save the $1,500 and instead buy a couple cans of Scotchgard. George

Replying to: sundazed (Jun 22, 2005 5:50 pm) You are aware that Honda is offering 1.9% APR on a few different vehicles, specifically, all 2005 Accords. I assume you're getting a better rate from your credit union, though. This probably doesn't help you too much. But good luck, and thanks for correcting your post. The dealer I called took yesterday off, so the question was still unanswered for me.

Replying to: 0x42454e (Jun 23, 2005 6:12 am) My advice would be to get pre-approved by a non-Honda source (commercial bank, credit union, etc.) and use this as negotiating leverage. Capital One, for instance, will issue a blank check with a pre-approved limit to be completed at the dealer. Then, after the price negotiation with dealer is finalized, ask them about financing through AHFC. Choose the lower of the two, which is likely to be the AHFC financing. BTW, on a $20,000 loan the difference in monthly payment between 5.25% and 3.9% for a 60 month loan is $12.29 a month ($379.72 versus $367.43).

I am looking to buy the 05 Honda Accord Value package in Detroit. The dealers are quoting $16,170 as the invoice price. What would be a good deal for this trim level including tax and destination charges. Also, does anything think, opting for the LX works out better in the long run (while selling the car). Please respond. |

Replying to: netprofits (Jun 22, 2005 6:12 pm) The front license plate holder is put on by dealer. Simply have them not install one on a incoming unit that you like.. |

Replying to: netprofits (Jun 22, 2005 6:12 pm) About 1 minute with the right sized nut driver and the plate holder comes right off. We don't require front plates here either, but the dealers put ad plates on the cars. On the Accord the bolts go "up" into the "mouth" of the car so the holes can't be seen once you remove the plate holder. On some Hondas (S2000) you can get painted filler plugs since the plate holder bolts into the front of the car. Dennis |

Replying to: 0x42454e (Jun 23, 2005 11:15 am) Price: $20,002.56 Doc Fee: $45.00 License Fee: $190.00 Tire Fee: $8.75 Sales Tax: $1,553.69 OTD price: $21,800 As far as the internet dept. for Riverside Honda, as I said before, the only reason I purchased from them was price and convenience. I was not very impressed with their level of customer service. So, I am not surprised they haven't contacted you in a few days. Maybe the salesperson is on vacation, maybe the full service sales guys kicked him out (LOL). Good luck. |
