Thx
Personally, I felt that the 190 hp 4 cylinder was underpowered for the size/weight of the car and didn't have as much "ooomph" as my first Honda (a 2003 Accord LX 4 cylinder with 160 hp).
The V6 is smoother, quieter, and has a fair amount more "get up an go", and, if I had it to do over again I never would have bought the 2008 Accord EX 4 cylinder and would have just bought the V6 to begin with.
I'd say you and your husband should drive both- and see which one you feel you can live with. Good luck!
I have been a Honda fan for 40+ years. Go for a V6 EX-L. You will enjoy its super smoothness, superb power, strongest AC, all bells and whistles, etc, in Georgia summers.
Trust me. I am currently owning 4 Accord V6 EX-L including a '08. Used to own Civic, Accord EX I4, etc. An Accord V6 EX-L costs you a few thousand $ more but it's worth it. MPG is about same compared to I4. You'll get 81 additional horse power. Enjoy Honda's power. :-).
$24,800 plus TTL. No doc or dealer fees.
+ $600 doc fees----i think that's way too much---
thanks for the info on the v6
-that's what we'll get---diamond white pearl--sweet!
I've told them I want the car as is, except with fog lights added. They said they didn't want to write it in the contact cause I may change my mind on the fog lights, so they just wrote in that I am entitled to any add-ons for 5% discount, that will be installed after the car arrives.
I did tell them it was my first car, but it was after we had the paperwork all signed. They even have my trade in pre-vauled at $1400 (which is honestly more than I expected) back in July. It is also written into the contract that I will get that as long as no accidents happen, etc.
Anyone know when I can get the VIN number on a new car? I need that in order to get insurance, but since the car technically isn't built yet...
The V6 does add fog lights, chrome door handles, and Homelink. If those are important to you, you might want to spend the $$$. I doubt if you are an aggressive driver, so you don't need that extra hp.
According to Wards, 85 percent of the current generation of Sonatas are built with four cylinder engines. 76 percent of Accords and 90 percent of Camrys on the market are four-bangers as well. With CAFE standards climbing rapidly, the era of the four-cylinder family sedan is clearly upon us.
Many Thanks,
One of my friend bought an EX 2009 V4 for $22000 (OTD).
I am not planning to take any finance & would be paying all in cash.
Thanks
after testing the 4 cylinder and the v-6, it was apparent that the 4 was far noisier and not as smooth a ride. i love my new honda!
If you get some extra money why not enjoying a bit extra luxury of V6. According to MSN Auto, Cars & Drivers...Accord 2010 V6 is the most valuable large sedan. The V6's gas consumption (MPG) is about same or just a little bit higher than that of I4 due to its variable cylinder management (VCM), only 3 or 4 engines run when vehicle on "ECO" mode (2,000 RPM / 40 MPH or higher), (26.6 / 31 MPG is not bad at all). It's a piece of combination of fascinating engineering and fine art. :shades: :lemon:
did 85% of negotiation via email, then finalized deal in person. they will quote competitively via emal - 2nd car we have purchased from them. good dealer and management team.
then again like in phxsuns1's case the thing that makes the deal more is the high doc, and vehicle tax fees he has to pay. but i still think phxsuns1 can do better in the car price. i hope you get a better deal phxsuns1
I think the LX-P was 800 more, but am not sure.
It's a little confusing here. Would you please make a bit clear with the break downs if you don't mind?
Does the price of $23,800 include TTL?
Thank you very much.
Kevin
The price that I paid back in June of 09 of $23,800 included the destination and the $1500 dealer incentive. This price did not include TTL or trade-in.
If you need it broken down any futher, I'll have to look at my paperwork when I get home from work.
Let me know if you need anything else.
End of the month, end of year model close-out, one day special..
Silver exterior, gray leather interior, 4 cylinder, Automatic Transmission, sun/moon roof.. NO NAV.
Sticker was a little over $27k.
Purchase Price: $23,145 + TTL (cheaper than most used 2008's I saw, and all used 2009's!)
Dealer threw in window tint if I let them finance the loan... that was my idea, of course.
This dealer offered a higher trade-in value for my old vehicle than Car Max or Howdy Honda.
Lesson learned.. buy cars on 9/30!
Oh, and I had them match bernardiwarranty.com's Honda Care extended warranty prices.. but that will likely only work until 11/2/09, when internet sales of that warranty aren't allowed anymore.
This is a very good price with Nav. I am going to pick up a car tomorrow. Check back with the forum later.
Thanks.

I went to my dealer yesterday. I left there feeling like I was going to throw up. It was a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE experience.
First, they also pushed me into a 2010, fine, I really wanted that anyways, but I did not have any numbers printed out for a 2010, so I was kind of helpless.
Then they did not have a silver LX on their lot, but they had a silver LX-P so remember all the figures are for the LX-P.
Then, he asked me what I wanted my payment to be? Um what? I do not negotiate up from the payment, lets negotiate down from the price, ok? NOPE, they would not do it, said the price is set.
So he comes back out, with a payment of 218.51+tax (234.90 after tax) monthly and 3600 down!!! Ok so what does this 3600 include? Seriously it took them 20 mins back and forth to agree to tell me, the "finance manager" actually said, why does she want to know that, I got her payments where she wants them.
UM WHAT? I can hear you!!! lol
And then they bring me a printout, showing the MSRP of 22565 and then the 62% residual, and then the initial cap cost of 21823, with the cash cap reduction of 2199.43 and my down as 3410. Ok, 20 minutes ago you said 3600, so where did the extra 190 dollars go? Did it just vanish into thin air? oh wait, you can not make up any more fee's to pull out your butt, so 3410 is as much as you can get?
But it still does not show what the 3410 is for, it just says 3410. So I again ask, show me what it goes to, all the time I'm telling them, look I know there are fee's I just want to know what they are, it is my money and I like to know what it goes for.
Finally, again, 20 minutes later, no joke, he comes out with a hand written paper, showing the follow fees
License 175
Tire fee 5
Lemon Law 2
Battery 1.50
Doc 499
Rental Surcharge (this was later explained to me as gap coverage) 60
CVR fee (later explained to me as the electronic filing fee for my tag) 24
Cap reduction tax 164.96
Tax of initial fee 44.21
Total 1210.57
PLUS the cap reduction of 2199.43
Give the total 3410.00
I left there so fast. And at first they were going to let me drive the car to my house to show my husband who has yet to see the car, sick kids, I'm the better negotiator, he gets to stay home...... but when I started asking questions, they changed their minds I guess because it was not even offered to me.
So I called 3 other dealers within an hour and a half and of course they can all do better.
I'm so confused.
Does your V6 Accord get Honda NAVI? How do you like your new car? :P :shades: :lemon:
It's a smooth sailing. Just pick up a car in the afternoon. It's nice experience for an online shopping.
The sale price for 2009 Honda Accord EX-L with a couple of accessories (window tint and pinstripe) is 23,500. The O/D price is total 25,284.
sdd.
That price may not be extremely low, but the dealer gave me $3000 for my 71k miles 1997 Civic LX which has a dead AC compressor and that would take at least $1000 to fix. So I paid $22322 for Accord.
===========================================================
Experience is not very pleasing but I am happy with the result. The long story:
I emailed 2 dealers one month ago when C4C still going and got a quote for $22699 for EX-L. Yesterday when I had my Honda van serviced at this dealership, while I was waiting for the shuttle, I took a look at Pilot. A salesman approached me and found I was looking for a new car. He show big interest on the Civic even after I told him the compressor gives noise and AC is dead. I told him I want to buy a EXL for $22.6k. He called me while I was on shuttle and said his boss agreee $22.6 "plus $3000 trade in for civic".
So when I picked up the Van, he got another salesman to help me look around. When I almost decided the color with my wife, they told me that the price is $22.6k from my pocket plus the trade in to make it $25.6k on a 09 EX-L. I was mad and decide to leave immediately. They asked me back and said they will work on $22.6k. I said give me an answer yes or no, I have already wasted an hour. They said trade in for $3000 is impossible (this should be true because one month ago the same dealership another salesman told me the best way is to sell the Civic by myself and trade in only gives me about $800). I said I never asked for trade in and you can forget about that. I will keep the Civic, that's fine.
They said they need a little while to call the owner as selling at $22.6k they would lost money. That is not totally true but their profit would be thin I agree. But I just spent $489 on maintainance and I will have my 2 Honda vehicles serviced here so I won't feel guilty.
Then they said they wanto to get the information of Civic. The real sales manager (at least in charge I guess) test drove it. He said AC is bad and it could take $3000 to fix, so he could only give me $2000, then $2200, no more than $2500. Again, fine I said I will keep it as I know trade in is low so I never planned to trade in. He said he will take it but would give the owner of dealership a private call.
10 minutes later he gave me a print out and said $23k is my OTD price. I said I need to know the net price, and found out it was $23.2. I said OK I would add $200, $22.8k. he said $23k. I said don't waste my time. When I was ready to leave with kids who had not have dinner yet, the salesman asked me to add $100. Well, the trick works finally my wife and I agree to add $300, so net price for Accord is $22.9.
I took the car at 9pm and I arrived there 5:30pm. So it took 3.5 hours which is not very long. Considering they gave me $3000 on the Civic which has a bad compressor and needs thousands to fix, I feel it is a good deal at least I won't regret. Hope this helps.
At one dealer in Memphis I looked at their website and saw an EX-L 4 cyl. with an MSRP = $27115 and an Online Price = 25194. This seems a lot higher that the deals I've seen for EX-L's.
I went to the dealer before opening hours and gathered the following information from the window sticker:
MSRP = $26405
Destination and handling = $705
Total Vehicle Price (includes pre-delivery service) = $27115
The dealer had the following price on the car on a separate sticker:
Accent Stripe = $159
Moonroof visor = $229
Splash guards (set of 4) = $249
Wheel locks = $129
Theft Protection = $179
APP - Appearance protection program = $189
Total = $28249
25194/28249 = 89% of sticker total
What should we offer for this car (or one very similar) not including TTL?
The dealer website doesn't list a contact for internet sales, it just says please call. Should I call and ask for the internet sales person before going to the dealer to talk & test drive.
Also, another dealer in town has an appearance package with ProPack, nitrogen pack, trunk tray, mud guards, wheel locks for $980, so the dealer add-ons look similar - though I don't know what propack or nitrogen pack are. I'm not quite sure what a trunk tray is either, maybe a fancy cargo net? Since the dealers have the same amound of add-ons I figure I could talk to either one first.
Thanks for any replies.

I want to know what would be the best price? I asked couple of dealers.They said they can give it to me for $18550 for LX and $19550 for LX-P. But with this price they ask for minimum of 5.99% apr. I stay at bay area, california . Can someone help me with this?
But dealer told me the invoice is $24900 ( I saw that number on print) while edmunds shows invoice is $24645/$24605.
when i got mine i also notice that the dealers had $200 over what edmunds invoice was. i thought the first dealer i went to was just trying to screw me $200 but i asked for invoice price at other dealers and they all gave me the same price. so i finally asked why it was more than edmunds and i was told it was a fee for the advertising and that they put that on the invoice.
i talked about this before and i think i asked if other people knew what their advertising fee was in their area as i wanted to find out if this is the same in all areas or different.
for an EX-L also.
I bought my Accord from Valley Honda. The buying experience was smooth and easy for me as well. I didn't take any extended warranty. It took me like 4 hours to walk out from there.
Be prepared on both the price and the financing, the dealer won't hurt you badly.

I am wondering if this price includes the $1500 dealer cash. If not, which dealer did you make your deal with? This is a great deal.
They still have 50+ Accords last weekend. For EX-L if you don't want GPS, they ran out of white, beige and light green color (I picked). They should have black, blue, red, silver and gray. If you add $1200 they might sell you a EX-L/Navi.
automatic?
