deal on 2009 honda by iwantone

Can anyone tell me which month I could possibly get a deal on a 2009 sedan EXL V6? I am looking to purchase in about 5 months and just wondering if I should expect a salesperson to even offer me a decent deal. By the way I am still seeking some honda dealership advice for the Columbia, South Carolina area.

2008 G35 over both of those cars Much better value then a 09 Maxima since you can get them at about invoice and if you are buying .9% financing for up to 60 months and much better lease rates if leasing. Comparing an Accord to a G35 isn't even close. I know I was ready to get a Accord EXL V6 coupe to replace my 05 G35, but decided for the extra $40 a month it was well worth it to go with the G. I have never looked back, so much more car. Get into a high horsepower rear wheel drive car and you will never drive a front drive again.

Unless you need a back seat that can carry adult-size people (I'm 6'5"), don't want the pricey service costs for a premium-make car, or the higher insurance rates that typically go with a high-performance car, or the....
 
I'm glad you like your ride (I love the looks), but maybe there should be a thread created to comparing these cars instead of doing so here. I'd be happy to participate there!

I bought an EX-L, but have a family so appreciate the room of the Accord.
 
But, the fun factor of the G35 is unreal!!! That car put a huge smile on my face, so I know where kingpcgeek is coming from. It is just such a blast to drive.
 
The only part I'd disagree with is the cost. We can all argue how much more gas or things like maintenance will be between the cars, but there is one cost that is hidden.
 
I just won't get too many speeding tickets in my Accord. With the Infiniti, however, I'd have a very difficult time resisting temptation. Still, I'd have a smile on my face when the officer asked for my signature.

new 2009 Accord EX-L V-6 by arizbob

Hi I'm new here and along time Accord owner. We got a new 2009 about 10 days ago and have had a steering wheel shimmy since day one. We have had the front tires rebalanced twice and the car is in the shop today. The dealer says the only fix is to replace the 17" wheels with 16" wheels and Dunlop tires. Any one have a simular experience? thanks

Sounds fishy to me. Why on earth would you need to replace wheels and tires on a brand new car? Did it do this on the test drive? Stick to your guns and make them fix it right. Check into the lemon laws for your state as well.

I tend to think that's bogus too. Is Honda recalling all their vehicles to replace the wheels and tires? Uh, no....
 
It's a new car. It should be expected to perform as such. Personally, with so many Accords on the road performing fine with those tires/wheels, yours should as well.
 
I get angry when I read about customer service like this.

Just chiming in that when someone is looking at a 09 Maxima they should take a serious look at a G35. Same engine, but they squeeze a few more HP out of it and no torque steer.
 
higher insurance rates that typically go with a high-performance car
 
An FYI with regards to car insurance. My insurance quotes before I leased the new G.
 
08 G35 : $1,111 annually
08 Accord Sedan: $1,071 annually

I agree, very different car classes. How much was your 08 G35 out the door? What trim level was it? I thought he was looking at coupes, not sedans, sorry.

Thanks for your input. I thought it was totally off base that is why I was looking for other owners with the same problem. They put 16" wheels on the Accord yesterday and test drove the car. Still shakes between 60 and 70 MPH. Today they are swapping out the CV joints from another new Accord that is a LX 4 cyl that does not have the shake problem. Thanks
