Replying to: d4l (Sep 19, 2005 5:11 am) Is that auto or 5-speed? I was thinking about 06' Civic. MSRP + $1,800 market adjusted price? But better Honda for less? I'm definitely considering it. I am presuming that other than minor cosmetic changes and few more horse power basically still same body with sam engine? Thanks.

just got internet quotes in Nj on the '06s. AN EX-l 4cyl/5 speed was 23,558 (off of 24,700), and an EX-L V6 6-speed was $26,388 (off of $27,850). Surprised to see a bigger discount on the 6/6 combo though. 3K is a fair bit to pay for essentially a bigger engine and another gear, although there are some other options included (I just can't remember what they are). |

For people asking about how good their deals are, I'd say a good (not necessarily the best, but still favorable) deal would be to take 91% of the total MSRP (including destination). Add to that a maximum of $50 for a "document" fee which is pure profit to the dealer--if the doc fee is higher, negotiate it away on the price of the car. Tax and license fees are extra because the dealer must remit them to government entities. This was the deal I received on an early '04 Accord EX-L sedan AT after doing plenty of research online. Maybe I could have saved a few dollars buying from an inconvenient dealer, but it would not have been worth the trouble. If you wait until Xmas week, you'll probably save another $400 to $600. In late Feb., 2006, half way through the '06 model year, you'll probably pay about $750 less. At year-end 2006, you'll pay $1,500 or more less depending on competition, state of the economy, etc. These are the approximate numbers I've seen after following Accord pricing since August, 2003. Accords do not offer factory options, so anything added on like mud flaps, wheel locks, window etching, etc. usually packs the price because most of this stuff is way overpriced and useless. If your current deal is 91% of MSRP + $50, you did just fine IMO. Hope this helps some of you..........Richard
