Drive the I4 Accord, if the power seems enough then buy it. If it does not seem adequate, then drive the V-6. Don't drive the V-6 unless you feel the I4 is underpowered for you - or you will spend more money and be buying more gas.

SE V6
Purchase price 19,650
service fee/doc fee 95.00
temp plates 4.00 (bought the car in different state from where it will be titled hence this fee)
Before Tax Title and Lincense 19,749 included splash guards and wheel locks.
Overall pretty happy, at the last minute had an offer from a another dealer who said he would do it fot 19,550 but never clairfied the doc/service fee. I needed to pull the trigger. Bottom line this car can be bought under 20,000 dont let dealers say otherwise. 3 of them did.
Lastly, I want to publicly thank member Dwynne he is one of the most frequent posters and his knoweledge and willingness to help is unmatched. Thank you for all your help Dennis!!! Sending emails to the internet coordinators is the way to go, drill down from their and then pick your top 2 or 3 and starting leveraging the offers against one another. Belive this car could proably be bought for 19,500 SE V6 including dest and doc fee.
If you want dealer info email me.
LX V-6
Adds to or replaces SE V-6 features:
• Power moonroof with tilt feature
• Heated power side mirrors
• Driver's seat with 8-way power adjustment
• Ambient console lighting

Unlike the i4 trim level, the LX-v6 has more features than the SE-v6, thus explaining the higher price.
Invoice is $21,754 and you paid $19,650? Yowsa, that is $2,104 under invoice. If $1,200 of that was incentive and $478.90 was hold back, that means $425.10 is MIA. So I have to assume they either made a mistake or they are getting the $1,200 plus the $750 on this car.
I hope you paid them and drove away real fast before they change their minds :confuse:
Enjoy!

Dealer quote is 26000 plus 50 doc fee. My state tax is 5% (1302.50) and title/tag transfer is another 50ish. So that would put me @ 27402.50.
Draw back being that I dont want the color they have and to get it they want another 300 for the transfer.
Also I got a quote from another dealer that was 24800 on the same car only they had a 399 processing fee and a 399 destination charge. I have to drive about 3 hours to get that one.
Are these prices coming in @ average for folks? Im in the southeast.
I think you've got much better deal on SE.
That was an odd way to say it.... "including" the trade. I wondered what that meant too. Also that person paid a $295 doc fee so you would need to add that in too.
This was an excellent buy!
Thank you in advance.
Would you make the sale if you were losing money? Me thinks they were talking out of their tushie
You might want to try South Tacoma Honda on your way down. Last time I had any contact with them, they didn't do the ADM game. Honda of Fife does but you can get around that easily enough... hard core negotiating needed with them though. Good luck!
I've had pretty good experience by just ignoring it altogether. Most salesman I've dealt with didn't bring it up, once they know they're dealing with an informed consumer.
Some still will try to stick you with it, and so you take your business elsewhere.
dealer denied vehemently that 750 incentive applied to anything under EX or V6, but doubt he would do deal without it. I'm wondering if he even had 1250 incentive for it.
Consumer Reports bottom line price for this model is 20937. Feel CR bottom line is set up too high. :mad:

I've got my financing already all set up via Costco/Capital One Auto (their blank check's on the way) with a rate even lower than on their website but am open to entertain offers from the dealers' financing if they can beat it.
Some questions:
- Looking through the figures (invoice pricing) as listed on edmunds.com and other sites, I see some discrepancy. Edmunds.com lists EX I4 or SE V6 invoice at $21,160 and LX V6 at $22,832 but when I check Yahoo! Autos, it shows invoice as $21,043 for EX I4/SE V6 and $22,706. Who is right? Autoweb.com's invoice, for the EX I4, is the same as Yahoo! Autos.
- I assume that the current marketing support incentives for EX trim levels is actually $1200 and not $750 AND $1200 (for a combined of $1950) even though edmunds.com lists both?
- For those who are in the metro VA/MD/DC) area, what kind of pricing are you getting for any of the above models? I've browsed through the threads in this forum and I'm seeing other buyers reporting $21,300 for LX V6, $19,675 for EX I4, and $19,738 for SE V6. Are these "reasonable" numbers to start the negotiation from?
- Comparing between the I4 EX and the SE V6 (both which have the same MSRP), is it better to go with the SE V6 (to gain safety features not found on I4 models like VSC, brake assist, etc.) over the extra amenities that are on the I4 EX? By the same token, would it be worthwhile to move up to the LX V6 (for moonroof, etc.)? What is the threshold $ wise as the determining factor? This is where my dilemma is right now. This car is for my wife who is coming from a '98 Accord LX V6 before it got totaled last week. She is open to the I4 but at the same time, I think she is used to the V6's characteristics and "feel."
- "Wood trim" interior; the brochure isn't very clear and neither is Honda's website but can someone clarify that the wood trim interior is only available with the Ivory interior choices?
Thanks!

David
Good luck with your search. I have a comment on the I4 vs V6. I went from a 2002 V6 to a 2007 I4. I don't notice much of a difference unless I really step on it to pass another car in a short passing zone. I'm past the days of having a "need for speed". The increased mileage with a 4 cyl was attractive as was the much lower insurance cost. I haven't driven it in the winter so don't know how much I'll miss the traction assist. Otherwise I think the I4 will be fine.

Congrats for the great deal and thanks for the postings.
I asked for a quote for Accord EX-L after seeing your post to Freeman Honda, and they quoted me for $23715 (OTD) for it. I told them about you getting a better deal on the car to which they said I need to present them your name and only then they can match me the deal.
If you don't mind can you please email me your name at my personal email id at rainingindallas@yahoo.com . I would really appreciate if you could.
Not thrill with the processing fee of $399.
The highest that I've seen so far (again, having just started the process) is $299. Which dealer is this, if you don't mind me asking? I'm assuming there is no way to get that amount waived/reduced unless it's factored into the price of the car itself?
I've just finished sending online requests for quotes from 14 dealers total tonight in VA and MD and am now sitting back and waiting for the quotes to come in.
I assume that you haven't purchased your I4 Auto EX yet? If you like, we can compare notes throughout the process as I will be purchasing within the week if not sooner. The only unknown variable is will there be a different/better incentives after 7/5?

David
selling price of Car -> $22,101.68 (roughly $511 over base cost of car)
taxes -> 1381.36
inventory tax -> 56.20
registration - > 127.05
doc fee -> 50
23716.29
Does the car have additional dealer installed accessories?
I assume you bought your I4 recently? If it's an EX, do you mind sharing what you paid for it? I realize there may be regional differences in terms of discounts/pricing, but that would give me a general idea what the baseline figures are to compare with.
Interesting comment re insurance being cheaper on a 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder as I wasn't aware it made a difference. How much cheaper was it?

David

FWIW, in southern California, I got an internet quote for $25k including $600 destination charge. That was 2 weeks ago. I bet today - well at least before the 30th, you might find better deals.
