I got my 03 Accord LX from Bernardi Honda in Natick for 17,844 plus T&T. Boch Honda in Norwood offered me invoice 17,690 but I did not like the pushy sales manager there. I was willing to go 150 over to deal with someone who I felt was more trustworthy and less pushy.
Don't know if this holds true for the EX-V6's but I wouldn't be surprised. Edmunds TMV is showing near invoice for the 03 Accords which makes me question their accuracy.
Good Luck, I have enjoyed my new Accord immensely.
I checked out the local dealer and his price was also 24,900 on an ordered blue Accord.. just got a call from a third dealer who will sell me the blue one for 24,675, about 1000 over invoice, right off the show room floor.. I've picking up this one tomorrow..
I'm still debating between the 03 Accord LX I4 5A and the 02 or 03 Camry LE. Does anyone know where I might find the best deal for either car in Baltimore?
Thanks.

Now I just have to wait 2 weeks for the car to arrive!
For those looking in the area, this deal was at Boch Honda in Norwood, MA.
Thanks!

Checked around some recent postings here, seems like I got myself a pretty nice deal.
Thx again my friend.
Prices in St. Louis are still pretty high. Best deal so far is $800 over invoice for EX-L auto. Anyone know of any good deals in St. Louis area?

$300 + $23675 = $23975
Hope this settles the record. Good luck.
Ready for an Accord,,, pricing/financing looks good. Now i just need to Unload my 2000 Passat,, awesome car, just I GET BORED!
When I was considering a CR-V, I learned that there was a dealer in the Tulsa, OK area that would sell most vehicles in the Honda line for $300.00 over invoice. Had I purchased the CR-V, rather than the Forester, I probably would have travelled to save the money.
I think that it was in Bartlesville. Inky knows the details, and has dealt with them, I believe.
ms4tune, your 1991 will bring about $500 for trade-in, or $1200-$1500 on the open private market. Ask yourself what you would pay to drive a car like yours. BTW, my sister sold her 1991 Accord EX with 99,100 miles on it, immaculate interior, and Alpine CD player radio in it for $3800 in May. The used car market is taking a huge beating due to new car sales right now, so be aware you may have it a while.
I also live in Vancouver BC, and the dealerships here are not willing to go much lower than MSRP, I'd say a maximum discount on a V6 AT Coupe would be $500CAN. Which dealership did you go to?
"Combined Honda and Acura sales for October of 14,982 represents an increase of 10.4% over last October while Honda sales were up 13.3% over last year. Sales were lead by the launch of the new Accord with a 50.4% increase over last year. Acura RSX sales were up 37.6%. "
Also, this web site has a good review on the Accord from a Canadian perspective (given our higher gas prices and more expensive cars, the test is of a four cylinder Accord). Here is a link to the review:
http://www.canadiandriver.com/testdrives/03accord_ex-l.htm
I would personally like to hear everyone's opinions on the power of the four cylinder model as I am torn with whether to purchase the four or six cylinder engine.
Cheers everyone,
from my experience, the I4 (which we bought) has more than enough power. we test drove it with 3 (my wife, myself, and salesperson) with A/C on and it had plenty of zip to get up to speed on the highway. in fact, it was pretty effortless. i would guess 0-60 time is in the mid-8 second range while reports show that the V6 is in the 6.5-7 second range. is the I4 enough? i think it's more than enough. but i think you probably need to test drive the cars yourself to make the ultimate decision.
i would have considered the previous generation accord (with 10 less hp and lb-ft peak torque) to be "adequate." (i rented one for a 1000 mile trip in the mountains) if that were my choice in the I4, i might have opted for the V6. but this generation feels significantly stronger and has some power/torque in reserve.
on the other hand, if you do a lot of mountain driving in a hot climate, and regularly have 4 adult passengers, then maybe you can justify the need for the V6. but for my wife and my mostly flat land driving [no kids yet], its fine. we had 5 people in the car this weekend and i had to punch it on a short onramp and it was up to 65 mph promptly. [no a/c on though]
to me, earning SULEV status and higher mileage (we already have seen 35 mpg on a highway trip...BTW, all my numbers are US-based gallons) were well worth trading off for the the luxury of near-lethal, IMHO, power.
hope this helps

Ooops, sorry everyone !!
"I need an absolutely no-haggle price."
"Then let's work from the invoice. Invoice plus how much - do you want to pay?"
"Invoice plus how much can you still have enough to eat? 300?"
"Let me talk to my manager."
Can you provide an email address? I would hesitate to publish it on the forum. As you can guess, the sales guy didn’t do it without making it sound like I hit the jackpot. Worse, I kind of believed it :-) I know it could be a lie, but it’s win-win type of lie.
Also, recently test drove the new '03 Accord EX, which goes for $600 more. Great, impressive ride......Toy-Camry, plus 25% in overall quality of ride!
For those trying to get deals on older trade-ins, consider donating your car to a charity. You reduce dealer profit, give a charity a good donation, and can take a tax write-off of the highest price for your car that you can justify. Besides, it is less hassle.
And the whole financing rate game seems like the hardest work left to do on a sale. I've heard of people getting APR's on honda's everywhere from 3-6%. Assuming I have perfect credit, is there anything I can do to help myself get the lowest rate? You keep hearing dealers say "I've got some pull with the finance guy." Well if that were so, in what situation can I get them to use it?
btw, rainbow, private owners are listing their '91 Accords anywhere from $2800-$3900 in my area. So to sell for $1250 on my '91 while someone else is marketing their ride for twice that makes no sense. Appreciate the feedback though.
