4-dr 2.3 SE
Carsdirect price: $17,950
Invoice: $19,226
True Invoice Price : $18767

4-dr 3.0 V6 LX
Carsdirect price: $19,471
Invoice: $20,799
True Invoice Price : $20339

4-dr 2.3 EX
Carsdirect price: $18,575
Invoice: $19,810
True Invoice Price : $19351

Carsdirect's invoice includes Destination Charge, so there is no diff.

Faint, the Accord SE here (Atlanta) is only $17,726, almost $3k cheaper than 1997 SE. :|

I finally give in and order a Odyssey EX this weekend, only $400 below the sticker price (MSRP)=26800. They only throw in 2 options: mud guard and cargo cover. It will not be here until July...

I never thought I'd like a minivan until I started driving our Odyssey. Its one of the sharpest looking MVs as well, i think. That cargo cover is a POC. Good luck.

i think i can get better price here for accessories than from dealer.

There are a number of great resources for cheaper Honda accessories, I seem to remember someplace called hondaparts4you.com, as the cheapest discussed at odyclub. Nothing like saving money from the dealer, like $1295 for a trailer hitch.

About the Accord, the official product announcement is slated for June 19th I believe, so wait to see the true resulting product.

Too bad CarsDirect isn't available in Texas (Well, I tried Houston, Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth, and none of them worked). It's a good deal for an Accord, but I'll have to stick to being a vdubber. Keep on dubbin!

When I had my '98 Accord V6-EX (sigh.....what a sweet, fun car) I ordered a bunch of stuff from Manchester Honda.

http://www.manchesterhonda.com/

They were more than 50% off of the prices that the dealers wanted. I had one of my motorcycle batteries tip over and pretty much demolished the whole front passengers carpet. I ordered the carpet replacement from this place and they saved me a bunch of $$ over the local honda places. Wasn't too bad install, either. Car looked funny with the middle console and all of the seats out, though.

The main ones that I can think of are moonroof and aluminum allow wheels.

Ody's rock. I knew mine rocked just from owning one, then I rode in a slightly used Chevy Venture, man, no wonder dealers can't keep stock on the Ody, looking at some of the competition

is the deal still alive?

The Honda Accord, the MOST boring car on the planet.

Opinion please on cheap, reasonable or not.

I just bought a brand new Green Honda Accord 4Dr V6 EX for $22500.00 out the door on June 22, 2002. Basically, the car was (rounded) $20000.00 + $500 destination + $2000 tax. This price is even lowered than the dealer invoice of $22,765. I am in the Bay Area. No hassle or negotiation required. All i did was look in the newspaper for deals (Honda Accord V6 EX $21500), call other dealer if they give me at a lower price ($19,5 - $21K), i would come down. Two dealership offers $20K, reasonable, and down i went to test drive, pick my car with less than 10 miles, fill the damn paper works and out the door i went. Less than 3 hours, i was gone.

The only missing "needed" accessories not included was mud guards.

I recently purchased a brand new 2002 Honda Accord SE for $17,244 which is $2,000 UNDER factory-to-dealer invoice. There are actually 4 differences between the LX and SE, the SE has:

1) Alloy wheels.
2) Power moonroof.
3) Power drivers side seat.
4) Keyless entry.

If you want to know how I saved $2,000 UNDER invoice, read this thread scroll down to the post dated 06/08/2002 9:27 PM.
