No zoran, the 2006 Accord sedan is a 2005 Accord sedan with a refreshed front grille and a new tailight configuration, plus a few other updates. The 2008 Accords will be of a totally new design.

Since no one was really posting here I thought it was better to post in the normal accord buying folder, but maybe I should cross post this here.
 
We just bought a Hybrid Accord w/o NAV (sorry blane, but the extra 1800 was just too much) for a little more than $500 UNDER invoice. We used the internet to talk to several dealerships in orange county, CA and some were a little slow to respond but we got the best responses from the Honda dealership in Anaheim (their internet staff was honest and attentive) and the one in Costa Mesa. We went with the Costa Mesa location.
  
I almost walked on the deal when they sprung a $249 price on splash guards and wheel locks that they "put immediately on all EX models" but we talked them down on that way too high price. We were prepared to walk at any time, but the transaction went pretty smoothly. They tried to sell me the extended warranty for a "low" price of $1350 after starting at around $2000 (god who jumps on that 2000$ warranty?)- they showed me that it costs them 950 dollars so they are only making $400. I wish I could make $400 on a 5 minute transaction. The finance guy was pretty cool though about us declining everything and we drove away more than happy. BTW this is my first car with XM radio and I'm already addicted. This is definitely not the accord of even 10 years ago. With the leather it almost feels like a luxury car.
 
Two things added here that I didn't put in my original post
 
1. The $500 under invoice included the 515$ destination charge so it was more like $1000 under invoice.
 
2. When I talked to the salesman on the phone he said they had 2 in my color. When we got to the lot he brought out the key and pointed out a nice clean one in the front. Upon further inspection I noticed tons of swirl marks on the hood and two cuts in the paint on the rear bumper- the car also had 100 miles on it. I kept looking at the paint and I was ready to walk away from the deal when the salesman left for a while- then he came back and I was ready to tell him we were leaving when he said he found another of the same color way in the back by the service area. That car was dusty, but perfect and it had only 35 miles on it!
 
The lesson is don't buy a car unless you're completely happy with it.

Don't wait for the new tax law. I understand that taking delivery in 2005 will result in a $2,000 tax DEDUCTION. At a 27% marginal tax rate, the net benefit is $540. (Use your own appropriate marginal tax rate.)
 
Based upon info from http://www.ucsusa.org/hybridcenter/incentives.cfm ,
the Honda Accord Hybrid would yield a $650 tax CREDIT.
 
The difference is only $110 benefit year-over-year by waiting for 2006 new tax law.

Hey lipitorkid,
 
I am researching a hybrid vehicle for my next car...There is not much choice in this sector and have narrowed the choice down to an Accord Hybrid. I have been looking for about a couple of weeks in NJ and am getting the following numbers:
1. HAH without navigation- $26,100 (incl. destination charges)
2. HAH with navigation- $28,000 (incl. destination charges)
 
Can you folks please elaborate on what the numbers are like on the 2005 models (with or without navigation)? If anyone from NJ, NY or PA can reply, I will appreciate it.

Those are good prices.
 
if you figure that the HAH w/o navigation retails for 27100 and that doesn't include the $500 destination charge then your savings on a quote of 26,100 (which included destination) is $1500 under invoice.
 
If you can get it in the color you like and without biting on the extra add-ins it sounds like a good deal to me.

How much did you pay for your Hybrid lipitorkid? Do you know if there are any special financing incentives going on? (like 2.9% APR for 36 mos)
 
I cannot seem to find the forum that has MORE pricing posts on the Honda Accord Hybrids? I am assuming I am looking in the right forum...Can someone please direct me?

I live in the Dallas Fort Worth Area. I about to pull the trigger on a Hybrid.
 
This from the sales rep:
The big thing for now and the next 3 days is that Honda Finance is offering 2.9% up to 36 months financing, 3.9% up to 48 months and 4.9% up to 60 months. That is as good as it ever gets with Honda and I know it is as good or better than anything out there. Of course, that would be with approved credit.
 
I presume this is nationwide. If you find a dealer who will discount off MSRP down to invoice- they are becoming rare as hen's teeth with gas prices the way they are.

Living in Dallas Fort Worth, I just bought the Accord Hybrid with NAV. Think I got a good deal considering the times:
 
MSRP $32,655
Bankston Honda of Lewisville $28,450
David McDavid Honda of Irving $31,840
David McDavid Honda of Frisco MSRP
Honda Cars of McKinney $29,994.23
Huggins Honda $30,862
The above prices include destination, but not TTL.
I did get a dealer add on Tint $499 and convenience package ($199)
With TTL, out the door for $30,809. Also the benefit of 2.9% APR.
 
For those in DFW, the internet department at Bankston Honda made this an easy purchase with minimal waiting and no hassle.

2006 Accord hybrid with Navigation by alfredfife1

I am negotiating with my dealer for a 2006 Hybrid Accord. Prices are not even available yet. I decided on the 2006 because of the changes especially the vehicle stability control feature. What should I expect to pay....MSRP or am I find that I can negotiate a deal under MSRP?? He wants a $3000 deposit to order. Is that unreasonable?
 
Thanks,
Al Fife
