Honda America Financing by Kellbone

Anyone know of any special financing for purchasing a new 2009 Accord Sedan through Honda? Will they budge off the 3.9% they tout for an excellent credit score? Thanks. Other comments I have read from other owners on other details have been very helpful.

Check your owner's manual. On my 99 CRV, it said 7yrs/105K miles to change the timing belt. That's not a maintenance item to let slide.

I am in the upper tier of credit score and got 1.9% for 36 months on 1/2/2009.
 
The car is certainly a more economical option than the 2009 Toyota Prius. Dealers would only budge $1,000 off the sticker for any car. I was able to get over $4500 off the sticker on this car. If you want to find out how my 2009 Honda Accord 2.4L EX-L is working for me view the review I published here: Epinions - 2009 Honda Accord Sedan Review

Most people I know who have disregarded replacing the timing belt at the necessary interval have regretted it. Some going over by perhaps 2000 miles. And when the belt goes, depending on the engine, so do valves, sensors, etc....
 
Like Nike, just do it!

It is not a freewheeling engine. If the timing belt breaks ppistons collide with valves, etc. and the engine is ruined. Had a Dodge Intrepid with SOHC V6 with freewheeling engine - timing belt broke at 34,000 miles - no engine damage,

2009 Accord exhaust stainless steel grade by jhrost

I was wondering if a better grade of stainless steel is standard on a 2009 Honda Accord exhaust (like a non-magnetic austenitic grade like 304), or do they just give you a ferritic grade like 409 that the muffler shops put on? I seem to remember that the original equipment on my 1995 Honda Accord exhaust lasted quite a while compared to the stuff the national muffler chains use for replacements.

It's definitely better quality than most local muffler shops use. You can buy high quality aftermarket exhaust systems, but they will cost you.

Side mirrors retractable? by jhrost
Apr 21, 2009 (9:35 am)
Reply
Just purchased a 2009 Accord LX sedan, but am also keeping my 95 LX sedan which still, for the most part, runs wonderfully. In comparing the two, I noted that, whereas the old Accord has hinged retractable side mirrors (ie which can fold inwards toward the car body when struck from the front - a possibly useful feature for a narrow garage door opening) the new Accord LX seems to lack this feature. The mirrors kind of look hinged, but I can't figure out how to fold them and the manual says nothing about this - so I'm assuming it's not possible (whereas it's easy to do in the old Accord).
 
Is that assumption correct, or I am I just doing something wrong? Any advice will be appreciated.
