Question OT: Honda forum?

Off topic, sorry.
anyone know a Honda Accord forum that would be a good resource for getting info on 2012 Accord EX-L V6 sedan pricing?

I 've searched a few but found no pricing help, like there is on this MB forum.

Thanks

My wife is looking. I've heard there are some great deals as the all new 2013 Accord will be out soon.

I would try Edmunds. They have a list of incentives/rebates per manufacturer/dealer and they have a forum where people who have purchased their vehicles get to write about how much they paid!

I actually helped some friends purchase a 2012 Accord LX earlier today. Did everything through email and got all the pricing squared away before we ever went in, then went in and were out of there in 1:30 including the test drive, filling out all the paperwork, waiting for the car to get cleaned up and all that.

Sticker price on the car was $23,349 and was able to negotiate to $19,141 + tax/TTL/Doc.

does it have to be an Accord? I know there are great other choices for similar prices. Two of my friends bought cars recently one an Accord and the other the Optima and I thought the Optima was nicer compared to the Accord IMHO

Cool thanks

Thanks,
Edmunds site was helpful.

It's my wife's purchase and she wants another Honda so an Optima is not
going to work for her.

Cool Honda

Thanks all,

wife bought an Accord V6 on Saturday. Love the V6 that runs on 6,4, or 3 cylinders.
Take delivery Monday.

FYI, Honda has some cheap money (0.9 %) and some sweet deals if you're willing to put in the hours of negotiating. On Saturday the salesman from the closest dealer (I was there on Friday) called me and I told him our best deal. He immediately said, "well go buy it from that dealer"........
Two minutes later, guess who calls back.....we can match that deal....

?? $30K Honda has leather, $60K E----for $1600 it will.

Look at that Honda's leather in 5-10 years (or less) than look at the E's vinyl in that time, and you'll see why M-B puts vinyl in its cars with the option of leather.

I think you have to look at a lot more than the upholstery if you are going to compare prices between an Accord and an E.

For sure. Just sayin' that if Honda can put leather on a $30K car, MB not having it standard on the $68K E I have on order doesn't give me a fuzzy feeling
Or if MB sweetened the P2 package with leather being a part of it.... that would be a step in the right direction

I'm buying an E but you do pay a premium, over twice the price to buy and I'm guessing 2.5 to 3X on the cost of ownership (depreciation, maintenance, financing, etc). MB certainly makes you pay to play.

We need our resident photo comparison expert to post pictures of the Accord next to the E350 - exterior and interior.

Thanks for your contribution pal
Well, I like A-W 207 interiors but they need more wood , as I have tried to illustrate in here
Another thing, they need leather covered dashboard as well

Actually, the C COUPE and Accord COUPE look disconcertingly alike. IMO the C-Coupe, with that fat singular B-Pillar door frame usually reserved for cheap Coupes (Accord, Sunfire, etc.) just looks low-end and weirdly proportioned for a Benz.

Sedan wise, I don't think there's any likeness or comparison, no matter how much cow hide they throw in.
