The Edmunds invoice does not include the destination charge. If the $25995 includes the destination charge, then it's a good deal.

Doesn't include destination charge. That means I need to squeeze another $635 out of them.

Nice. Did you get Navi in it? Are the new models still touchscreen, or do you have to use the joystick control only now. My 2004 Accord Coupe has a touchscreen navi, and the new models look like there's some clear plastic in front of the screen due to it's position.

Why do people like touchscreens? Fingerprints visible in sunlight are horrible. Not to mention you have to reach and look exactly where you're pointing while you're driving, assuming it's not locked out while driving.

seems just so muchb diffrent then this version

http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/e...nt/hondaFrontRight.jpg

the older ones look more like sports cars

now this version

http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/3154/dsc05720kn2.jpg

looks more like a higher class car?

maybe its mee and im weird but with all the versions of this acorrd over the years are so damn different)

lol, the first two pics are from the same car... the 8th gen accords look nice, they are a little bit bigger. in the end i ended up getting hte 7th gen because i thought it looked nicer, and getting it for $2000 below invoice did nudge me to getting the 07 a little too :). back then the 08's were going for at least MSRP, so it was a good buy. its really just a personal preference to which is nicer, they are great cars.

a lot has changed in 20 years. ;)

Hahaha, a friend of mines bought a 1983 Honda Accord last year with only 65000 miles on it, from an old ass lady who couldn't drive it anymore. I never seen such an old car with such a perfect interior, with everything working in it. lol

To the OP: WHY DID YOU GET RID OF YOUR TL? :(

it was lease...since the lease was with Honda Finance, I figured I would stick with a Honda product so they wouldn't give me too much hassle for the wear and tear (which they didn't)...I am also in an IT shop that provide mortgage service systems to lenders, so I wouldn't mind have a cheaper payment in case anything 'happened' in the next few years...
I don't want to be like that lady who has a $2500 interest only mortgage payment and then lost her job (thread is in OFF TOPIC)....

Pic with new spoiler :)

$400 shipped from HandAaccessories.com...the dealer price was $479 plus tax (around $520).

Dealer charged $150 to install (the dealer closest to me wanted to charge $200 for two hours of work, but the dealer I bought it from quoted $150 for 1.5 hours of work).

College Hills Honda is also a great great great place to order Honda parts from. They have great service and ship fast. (In case you were looking for another place to compare prices with.)

Man, I miss my Civic. :)
