    That's correct. No navigation in the car. I imagine that would have increased my quote by $1500-$2000 more.

    That's a pretty sweet deal! Any special financing offers?
  • robinmdrobinmd Member Posts: 21
    The dealership offered me a rate of 5.74% for 4 years. I turned it down in lieu of my Credit Union's rate of 5.25%. The difference between the two rates would have cost me about $4 or $5 a month more with the amount I financed over the 4 years. Unfortunately I don't think Honda is offering any special finance options currently on the Accord.

    I forgot to mention that the price also included some accessories: wheel locks, cargo net, trunk tray, and splash guards.

    Congratulations for your new car...
    It has Black interior or Gray? Just curious as I did not find Gray interior with them....

    Also does it come with wheel locks??

    Why oh why do the updated 06 coupe tail lights look like the ones on the Ford Taurs?? For 06 they "squared" off the top of the tail light. It looks hideous to me :cry:

    Just bought a 06 accord SE. since it doesnt come with a security system, i am think about adding one on. Is it worth the $350? thx

    Looks like a pretty good deal. I am thinking of buying the same model. Was that the royal blue one? Did they throw in any accessories? How do you like your new ride?
  • kyjelly225kyjelly225 Member Posts: 6
    My best offer out the door price is around 25,800, which is not a bad price considering the invoice price according to intellichoice.com is $24,577. Anyone think this is a good or decent deal?

    It appears that Honda never has 0.0 financing offers, is this true?

    Lastly, this is my first car purchase so I am unsure when dealerships have sales. I know they have one in July every year but do they also have one at the end of the year?

    thanks for the input all.

    True. The best I think I've ever seen for Hondas is 3.9% for 36 months, 4.9% for 48 months, and 5.9% for 60 months.
  • kyjelly225kyjelly225 Member Posts: 6
    Ah. thanks for the quick reply. I should probably then look for one of those credit cards that offer 0.0% purchases for a year and finance the car that way.

    Hmm... or maybe I should just go for the Subaru Legacy, they have 0.0% financing and cash rebate. But their gas mileage isn't that great.
  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    We got a better rate than Honda could offer us through our local bank...you probably could too. Just a thought, since our rate was more than .6% lower by using AmSouth Bank as opposed to Honda.
  • kyjelly225kyjelly225 Member Posts: 6
    yeah, I was told to use credit unions as well.

    Maybe I will hold out for the end of the year sale, this way I can save more and put more down.
  • robinmdrobinmd Member Posts: 21
    The car has a black interior. Not sure if you can get a grey interior with that color. The car came with zero options. No wheel locks, pin stripes or even mud guards.

    there was an ad in our local paper today from Stevenson Honda in Wilmington, NC that has 2.9% for 36 months and 4.9 for 60 months.
  • kyjelly225kyjelly225 Member Posts: 6
    That might be special to the state of NC. I live in California and the dealers told me the last time I checked, rates start at around 5.6%
  • louisnlouisn Member Posts: 110
    Does that price include taxes?. That model Accord is going for 23,600 to 24,600 depending on location including transportation (550) but not taxes and title costs. Do a search too. There are 750-1000 dealer incentives.
  • stachedstached Member Posts: 20
    Yes, I got the Royal Blue one off the show floor. Floor mats were standard and I didn't press for any accessories as I was happy with the price. We LOVE the new car and couldn't be happier....just trying to keep my lead foot off the pedal so we can break it in gently. :)
  • radioative2006radioative2006 Member Posts: 15
    I am offering $24500 for a EX v6 4 door. Is this good price for accord (Incl Destination) in chicago land area? I looked at the forum and looks like they are going for that price in other states.. this is a 2006 model
  • bugs22bugs22 Member Posts: 10
    Needanicecar, regarding the Accord EX-L, 4 Dr, Automatic. Making any progress? I'm down to 23,200 and other dealers are saying take it, they can't beat it. Haven't talked to everyone yet.
  • traumertraumer Member Posts: 19
    Did you visit any other Minneapolis area Honda dealers? I'm thinking about looking at Mpls. area Honda dealers for a Accord EX I-4 and wondering if all dealers in area are ok to deal with or if thre are any I should stay away from. How was your dealing with Hopkins Honda?
  • nynewcarnynewcar Member Posts: 89
    Congrats, I think you got a great deal! Check out HondaAcuraWorld for accessories like the wheel locks, etc. That's what I'm planning to do.

    Also, if you're interested in an extended warranty from Honda, you can get it online from a different dealer than the one who sold you the car. I'm not sure who is recommended specifically for Honda, but for Acura, the name that came up was Curry Acura - maybe there is a Curry Honda as well with competitive prices.

    May you take many happy and safe journeys in your new car!

    Different strokes for different folks.
  • needanicecarneedanicecar Member Posts: 10
    I got 23500 from one dealer, I called a couple others but they said they couldn't really price it till down you still down with them.

    did you have your conversations on the phone?
  • needanicecarneedanicecar Member Posts: 10
    If I got a car without I would go for the an aftermarket one like the viper alarm system...maybe more expensive but worth it.
  • kcrossleykcrossley Member Posts: 182
    What options does that include?
  • cwalticwalti Member Posts: 185
    I never quite understood why someone would buy a car because of the available financing... or cash back which is money off the financed amount... Can someone enlighten me??
  • askquestion123askquestion123 Member Posts: 1
    It only shows "Accord", no "LX" on the rear. Is this normal?

    Thanks
  • bye98civicbye98civic Member Posts: 4
    mine has the same.. no LX badging.. maybe that is a good thing.. sleeper car heh. j/k.
  • stachedstached Member Posts: 20
    Hopkins Honda is easily the closest to my place, they were the only dealer in town with Manual SE's, they have a large brand new dealership and service center, and they gave me a first quote that was right in the ballpark to what others were getting on these forums.....so it was a no brainer for me to buy it from them.

    Good luck.
  • illaznillazn Member Posts: 3
    I think Honda may have done away with the whole trim badge deal.

    My EX-L is the same, only the Accord badge on the left side.
    My sister's '06 Civic is the same deal, only the Civic badge to the left.

    The only other badge available is the little V6 badge from what I've seen on dealer lots.
  • bugs22bugs22 Member Posts: 10
    I've gone as far as the phone. Plan was to canvas all dealers in the state via email first. I've done that; about half I sent an offer in my first contact, and half I just asked for a quote. I haven't heard from any that I sent an offer to other than one who said he "couldn't even get close ($22,500 - Accord EX-L, 4sp, auto). All dealers seem unified on the initial offer. I'm just going to have to look them in the eye. Keep in touch
  • rbaker5rbaker5 Member Posts: 1
    I've done the same, just asking for quotes though. I would check with honda of seattle, they offered me $22,600 for a Accord EX-L, with no accessories though.
  • dgoldb1dgoldb1 Member Posts: 11
    I am interested in trading in my 2006 Accord SE for a 2006 Accord Coupe LX V6. Does anyone have any idea how much additional I would need to put in for a trade-in for my current SE Accord?

    Thanks.
  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    Yes...Honda has done away with trim badging for their cars (for 2006)...I kind of wish they hadn't, but it's not a deal killer or anything. Don't worry though, they don't have them on ANY Accords, just emblems signifying "V6".
  • kyjelly225kyjelly225 Member Posts: 6
    23599 was the price I was offered prior to tax, licensing fees, etc.
  • kyjelly225kyjelly225 Member Posts: 6
    Personally, I am waiting for a deal where there I can get a good price for the car and 0.0 APR because I don't really need the car right now. I already have one available for use but would replace it ONLY if a good deal came along, otherwise I would wait.

    People who want low or 0 APR's don't want to pay interest for the money they borrow. Honda, however, I have been told, never offers a very low APR. The only way you can get it is if you buy down the rate, which means you pay more for the car to get the low APR. Not worth it in my opinion as the extra amount you paid for the low APR is realized right away but the higher interest dollars you would have had to pay is taken monthly (plus you also get the opportunity to pay off the principal earlier if you come across some extra cash saving you further interest payments)
  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    If you can wait, then, might I suggest putting the money aside (that you seem to have) for a car payment...put it in your savings account, so that when a good deal comes around, you will finance very little (b/c your down payment will be bigger), or no financing at all if you wait long enough. This is the only way my grandmother will buy a car...She puts aside a set amount ($250 a month), and when that amount hits a certain number (usually around $20k since she buys Accord LXs always), she stops putting money in the account. Then she's earning interest while she waits on a good deal on her next car...So, in essence, she's making car payments, but only to herself...when the time comes she can just write a check and pay no finance charges.

    Well I was offered 22406 out the door for an automatic EXL sedan, and of course the place that offered this rock bottom price doesn't seem to have the color in stock. Everyone else has sent me emails trying to convince me that there's "something wrong" with the price even though its just a few hundred below invoice - incentive. One salesman chided me on "forgetting to add" destination. Yeah, sure babe.

    So its friday, I'm going into the dealership tomorrow where they offered me the lowest amount and see what can be done, if they'll order me a car or what. It just seems like such a hassle, buying cars playing email and phone tag trying to save money while people are lying to me (Ma'am, we can't even order a car from Honda for the 22406 price you quoted me) and trying to convince me to show up at their place and pay more. For cars they don't have on the lot.

    Depressing.
  • ravanipravanip Member Posts: 25
    you can..
    Actually thats what I got for my car...
    I wanted Silver with Gray interior and only Herson Honda had it and also they had only one left. So i bought it.
    I paid $60 more than Ellicot City dealer offer but I also got wheel locks and good thing is I am really close to Herson;s..
  • gonein60secgonein60sec Member Posts: 56
    I was just on the Acura site doing a comparison with the TL and notice they had the 2007 Accord Sedan in the drop down box. Featurewise, everything seemed the same as the 2006 Accord in the comparison chart but noticed that MSRP has been bumped up by $100, not that anyone pays MSRP. This also DOES NOT confirm that there are no added features in the 2007 Accord, just that none were listed in the chart. I thought I would just pass this info along.
  • thegraduatethegraduate Member Posts: 9,731
    That's good to know anyway...thanks for sharing the info!
  • smiling2smiling2 Member Posts: 12
    You will need about $2000.00 more plus your Accord SE. Whay are you trading you SE in?
  • accordkateaccordkate Member Posts: 5
    Please help.... my brain is scrambled from reading emails from various salesmen. Im not even sure what a good deal is right now - but they all think they have the best! I know MSRP is 27,500 and Dealer invoice is 24,803 and there is the $750 marketing thing... but seems like there are lots of folks finding lower pricing with clearance of the 2006s? What would constitute a reasonable deal? Would like a rear wing spoiler added on - how best to negotiate that piece?

    Thanks Kate in Seattle Tacoma area
  • drobideadrobidea Member Posts: 2
    I just took delivery of a new 2006 Honda Accord LX with manual transmission for $15,986 which included documentation fees and destination charges. State Tax and registration fee was extra. The price was advertised off their website so no haggling was required. Edmunds list invoice as $18,580.
  • kcrossleykcrossley Member Posts: 182
    Well I was just about to buy a Honda Accord EX-L when I came across this video about Vehicle Stability Control, which is ONLY offered on the V6. Not sure what to do now.

    plus TTL and $57 doc. fee totaling $19,849 from Grand Honda in Elmhurst, Illinois. Transaction was very smooth. Trunk tray ($110) is also included in that price. Do you guys think this is a good deal? They also offered me the 2007 LX Special Edition for $1200 more, but i got the 2006.
  • kcrossleykcrossley Member Posts: 182
    I didn't know the 2007's were out. What's the difference?
