As for differentiating, I was waiting for a rental car awhile back at PHX and the Hertz person told me they actually got a few Accord's. Despite everyone dissing them as fugly, she said they never sit around long before someone rents them. Actually, you don't seem to get Fusions or Malibu's much as rentals any more. The rental hangar queens seem to be Hyundai/Kia and Nissan these days.
 
It might be a regional thing...most of the Ford rental cars have SYNC, which gives you the legally required hands-free interface for phone in most places. As a bonus, it has a USB iPod connection, something Honda still can't seem to get right (although at least they have a connection now, my '07 doesn't and no decent provision to add one).

Hey all,
 
I am probably going to by a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe that I have been leasing for 3 years (lease is up in July). I put $2 grand down and have been paying about $330 a month. Most sites I search say the value should be about $16 grand and that's what the dealership is offering me as well. Anyone have any differing opinions?
 
Thanks for the help.

$330/month x 36 months = $11,880 +$2000 down = $13,880 that you have paid so far.
 
What is the residual value written into the lease? Compare that with what you are interested in paying.
 
And do the math. $13,880 + $16,000 = $29,880. It better be some loaded Accord at that price.
