I haven't test driven the 06 Accord yet, but the only reason I'd consider the 06 Accord LX V6 is that is has the Electronic Stability Control (or as Honda calls it Vehicle Stability Assist). It's just a matter of wanting to spend $4K to trade my 05 Accord for this 06 Accord safety feature.
Your thoughts are always appreciated!
Good Luck

05' Accord LX AT 17,900 including destination.
Except for the styling and 6 extra horses am I missing anything by not going for the '06? Price is a major concern.
Thanks for all of your help.
05' Accord LX MT 4DR 4cyl $17,115 including destination.
And, since yours is $800 more than mine it seems reasonable to me since yours is the automatic. But, I have yet to close the deal although I am about to make a deal.
In October they had a "Strive for Five" sale....trying to become the first dealer to sell 500 new cars in a month....
They fell a little short though...final sales number....
489....and mine was one of those deals....Good Luck!!!
Car rides really smooth....and yes, it has plenty of power...I don't really take to much stock in any types of promotions Honda does...or the dealership for that matter...most of the time I just come in and offer a fair price and have not been turned away yet....the promotion they had in October was a typical one....I have bought from these guys before....so they know who I am, a well informed buyer....if you really want a good deal....wait until around July time frame...that's when the deals are flying....no matter what model of Honda's....just this last July they were running big deals as low as $1500 below invoice (on 05 Accords)....the only thing I can tell you is to do your homework, request as many quotes as possible (depending how far you are willing to travel), take the best three offers you have and go to work! If you offer a fair deal, most dealers will take it....some won't, but that's okay.....I have heard the word "NO" plenty of times...doesn't bother me...someone will say yes....and so that's how I got a great deal on my car!!!
Good Luck!
I decided to go with the Accrd V6 with nav. I was planning to get the Acura TL with nav but heard about two problems. One, many people have said that the Acura rattles under the hood and is very annoying. Secondly, the 06 Accord has the new advanced navigation system, which is not even in the Acura TL. Do you find a rattle problem in your Honda? I decided to switch over to the Accord V6 for the above two reasons.

Additional Details:
After emailing/phoning several local dealers to get their quotes and going on a 2nd visit to a local Honda dealer to try and "work out a deal" who was only 4 miles away on a Friday afternoon. I later walked out indicating that I had to see for myself if the pricing I was trying to hit was legit or if it was as they claimed - the car I wanted would be loaded with overpriced "dealer installed extras" i.e. spoilers, dealer kits, etc...and as such, the price I was seeking would not be available. After leaving, I called Grand Honda near their closing time to confirm that they had the 2 colors/interiors on their lot (willing to take the chance that they might have something more than I bargained for on them) and I showed up around 9:30 Saturday Morning, walked the lot with the rep and sure enough they had many EX V6's all with a different level of "extras" - however the Carbon Bronze EX V6 was pimped up the least - MSRP included dealer extras of the following : outside temp gage, pinstripes, and fenderwell trim.
I decided to go on another test drive to spend time with the rep - part to show my excitement in the vehicle, but also to ask general questions that might lead him to believe I was either going to finance and/or lease the vehicle vs. my actual intent of paying cash. (just in case that is a way they could roll the dice on giving me a low cash price and hope to make up part of the difference when financing) Back at the desk, he showed me some bogus financing figures on MSRP, of which I indicted I wouldn't buy the car at MSRP and we should be looking at a lower figure to calculate the payments - it was at this point he asked at what price and I showed him a print out of an email from them which indicated the 23,995 price and that they had every color in stock and pricing was good only until Monday. Sales Rep used the classic close of 23,995 will get you to buy today and I agreed as my other pricing I was getting was 1K+ or more higher..(and the next best quote was online from Open Road Honda for 24.5K via their quoting system in NJ!!!!). I fully expected he/mgr would try to haggle over the extras, which I was prepared to negotiate as best I could out of the deal - but when he came back not a thing was mentioned about why they couldn't honor the price, etc and surprisingly we had a deal at MY price. Had thoughts the deal would fade when I went to finance and explained that I was going to pay cash and I didn't need any extras in terms of extended warranties, etc.. .but the finance manager went about his duties in completing the sale and I left the dealership around 11:30 in my new Accord!!
From my experience I was very happy - however I could see how others might not have the same luck if they are looking for a car w/o the extras and at the best price. I am glad I took the extra time and made the trip – in this case it appears to worked to my benefit.
The MSRP on this car is $25500, so I paid $2800 under that. I added a deck lid spoiler (great accessory!) for $390 installed and the front fog lights for $400 installed.
I paid roughly $150 for a document (or service fee). That was a little higher than other nearby dealerships but I paid a good chunk less for the 2 above accessories than that I would have paid almost anywhere else that I checked. I researched pricing for this car for almost 2 months. I checked all over Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and Eastern Minnesota. Roughly 15 to 20 dealerships. After all my research and much thought I finally made my purchase at Lakeland Honda in Sheboygan, WI. The internet sales person was excellent to work with. They also found me great interest rate of 4.8%, slighly better than what I could have gotten at my credit union (5.19%)
I highly recommend this dealership. I drove about 80 extra miles but it was well worth it to save $300-$500 compared to dealerships closer to my home.
I also would maybe recommend checking out Russ Darrow in Milwaukee. They claim that they match any price by 110%, however they would not give me an actual figure via email. I didnt feel like driving to Milwaukee to save an extra $100, but it may be worth a thought.
I'm looking for 2006 Honda Accord LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A). Can anybody having recent buying experience on this model or EX model share your experience? Thank.
