4 cylinder BMW 328 or 338 would kick butt off any V6 accord, I love the experience of BMW, but I can't afford having one long term so I bought 2009 Accord EX-L V6, replaced OEM tires (they were crap) on Ultra High Performance All Season Bridgestone, went plus 0 size from 225/50R17 to 235/50R17 - but believe me, I can only try to believe that it is the same handling and driving as BMW, but I know that any 4 cylinder BMW will pick up faster than Accord V6, I have same cornering and response due to my wider tires but loosing mpg because of that, and Accord still takes a second to pick up when you need to change lanes unlike BMW that does it right away, also when you have to make a stop, Accord tilts front and in BMW you seat unchanged, unless it is an emergency break. Remember, V6 will just give you a power to pick up and definitely will help to join highways, but won't give you the same acceleration as BMW. One day, when my kids will graduate a college - I'll jump back to BMW.

This is pretty savvy advice from Brian but, I would add Route 22 Honda & DCH Paramus. Weymouth gave me a slightly better price but, couple 100 miles away.
I got the best TOTAL price for our Accord Touring in our region.
Paragon??? Count your fingers afterward if you shake hands!

I agree with you about the accessories, I wouldn't take a car with $700 in add-ons unless they were free or discounted quite a bit.
 
But those protection packages or the "first place finish" is great, I don't understand why everyone thinks it's so bad...the dealer isn't always out to get the customer. If you ever do ANYTHING to your fabric/leather,spill a drink,tear or rip the fabric, etc.(and we all do it) the dealership takes care of it! The same goes for your exterior paint. I hear so many people say that they like beige or gray interior but need to get black because of coffee or what their kids spill. The "first place finish", just like a warranty is $11 a month if your term is 60, its $10 and below if your term is longer.
 
I guess I'm just saying for that price when I buy a new car, which will be soon... I want that protection package

Mar 20, 2013 (12:27 pm)

2013 Accord EX-L without Nav, with wheel locks, splash guards and edge guards
 
I only contacted two dealers via internet. I had already test drove. I negotiated an OTD price of $27,000 PERIOD with one of the two. That includes TTL (6%MD), the whole nut. the other dealer was ~$1300 higher OTD.
Went in today to do the paperwork, put up with the usual upsale stuff...protections, accessories. No, thank you. They tried to stick me for an extra $500 at the table. I replied that the deal was the deal. I pulled out a bank draft that was valid for a maximum amount of $27,000 and told them that was it (very effective tool). I was prepared to walk out and I wasn't going to budge off the number we negotiated yesterday. Here is the exact order breakdown:
Retail Price $24,207.22
Freight $790.00
Sub Total $24997.22
Titling Tax/Reg $144.00
Electronic Reg Fee $20.00
Sales and Use Tax 1511.78
License Fee $128.00
Dealer Processing $199.00
Total OTD $27,000
I was in at 11AM and out by 12:30, with a short test drive included. I'm satisfied with the deal. Hope this info helps someone.

#29013 of 29555 Purchased and EX-L today! by princessbsl

Mar 20, 2013 (1:41 pm)

Though maybe not as good of a deal as previous poster I am happy with the deal I got today. I am in a small town with small dealers and while I could drive several hours to larger dealers who offer lower prices I choose to stay local. I had previous been offered 26,500 on the 2013 Accord EX-L and that seemed to be as low as they would go but today when I dealt with them they went down to 26,300. After seeing that this was there bottom dollar and they weren't budging I asked if they would throw in the all season mats and nitrogen for the tires. They agreed. They told me they weren't really making any money off of my purchase but knew I was a loyal service customer.
MSRP $28,785
My price including destination fee & accessories added: 26,300
Dealer Doc Fee $85
TT&L 1587
Total OTD: $27,972

Geezer,
 
See my message #27892 for the deal I got on the 2013 EX-L V6 no nav at the end of December from Vandergriff Honda, salesman Danny Oestreicher. I would also try Honda of Burleson (lifetime powertrain warranty) and Huggins Honda salesman Forrest Clark. I called all the dealers in the DFW area, named my price, and only a few dealers would work with me. Most chuckled and said, “If you can get that price, buy two.” I said, “Thank you very much, here’s my number, call me if you can meet my price.”
