Got a quote for $26300 OTD. No navigation system. But need buy before the end of Oct. Is this a reasonable deal? Have to make a decision soon. Thanks

Hi Folks, I have to make a decision by tomorrow. Hope someone will have some advises for me. I got the following 2 deals and I am really hesitating on making a choice: 1. 2006 Accord Coupe LX MT $16300 (destination charge included) + TTL and taxes: $4000 below MSRP, $2000 below invoice. (mud guards and winter mats included) 2. 2006 Civic LX Sedan AT $16700 (Invoice at $16375) Well, I really had my eyes on the coupe, and as you can see I got a very good deal (thanks from all of your post guys. That's how I could shoot for so low). However, this dealer had about twelve 2005 accord coupe while only one accord sedan 2005 (an EX manual) letf on the lot!!!! Is there anything wrong with the coupe??? Are people shying away from them in favor of the sedan? I also saw plenty of those used coupe returned after 1-3 years when surfing online (maybe this is just an impression since I was putting my eyes on one). I am asking this question to those who owned a coupe and after the "initial falling in love story", they felt that it was really not practical and sold it. I just got married and we are planning to have kids in 2-3yrs... We have currently a 1999 Civic SE sedan as a second car. The other car we looked at with my wife is the sedan Civic 2006 (I was able to get decent deal given that everyone get this car at MSRP). My wife would prefer the Civic... I opted for an auto as we wouldn't have been able to get an MT within a month with the color we wanted. Hard to find. So now, my second question (maybe related to the first one) is beyond personal preference, would the resale value down the road (3yrs or 10yrs) of the accord 2005 coupe (or sedan if coupe is not really the way to go) be more than that of the Civic 2006 (given that I am paying pretty much the same price for both at this point)??? Please let me know what you think (hope someone will read that by tomorrow. The deal holds only before the end of the month) Thanks Didier

I am a first time car buyer, and I am interested in purchasing a 2006 Honda VP AT in the state of Maryland. The cheapest quote I’ve received for this model is $16,995, which does not include destination, tax, tags or any dealer options. Is this a fair price? In addition to the above price, the dealer quoted some extras: $4 tire recycling fee, $491 appearance package fee, $99 processing fee, $206 registration and what seems to be the standard $550 destination fee. I question some of these extras. Are they valid? Thanks in advance for your feedback. |

Replying to: 96hawk (Oct 28, 2005 4:04 pm) Open Road Honda has three V6 MT's in stock, two w/o Nav and the other with Nav. I asked for their best price and they replied with Sticker - $29,300 w/Nav or $2k less w/o. I told them if I wanted to pay sticker, I could choose any Honda dealership. |

Replying to: didier_all (Oct 29, 2005 4:36 pm) Have you considered the lone '05 EX sedan they have left? I guess that depends on if you can both drive the manual (i.e., your wife as well). If she will be the primary driver and prefers an automatic, then leave that decision up to her (Civic auto vs. Accord manual). Why the Accord sedan? Mainly because of the kid and car seat factor again. It is a bigger car, and your other car is already a Civic. Also, if you take this car for out-of-town trips, the Accord sedan will have more room for luggage and baby stuff (the trunk is slightly larger even compared to the Accord coupe: 14 cu. ft. vs. 13 cu. ft., respectively). The Civic could be cramped. Then there is always the debate: is a bigger car (Accord) safer than a smaller car (Civic)? So, I'm not really sure if I helped here because I just threw in a 3rd option. You might not even get as good a deal on the Accord sedan, since they only have 1 and the dealer knows it will eventually sell, whereas they have a lot of work ahead to sell twelve '05 coupes. But do think about the future and take into consideration the "baby factors": car seat installation and removal, space for diapers and other baby essentials for road trips, safety of a larger car. |

Replying to: corey2 (Oct 27, 2005 8:06 am) Apparently Honda dealers receive a $1200 sale support from the manufacturer on 2005s (the manager was telling me that it was $1200 on the V6 and $700 on the 4 cyl, is that true???) I also received an ad by email from honda of bloomfield [Detroit: www.hondaofbloomfield.com] advertising the accord EX V6 for $22488 (instead of $27365), so I would not hesitate to be very aggressive on the price. And for those interested they have a special end of the month for this Monday for the Accord 2006 LX for $19249 (instead $21375) http://hondaofbloomfield.com/Specials-PrintAd.aspx Good luck
