What are we driving now?
I mentioned in an earlier post that we had traded our 2010 Accord EXL V6(VCM) for a 2008 Lexus ES350 with 41K miles on it. We could NOT be more pleased with the swap. The Lexus is a "dream car" compared to the Accord. We drove the Lexus R/T to Las Vegas last month and both of us felt much more relaxed & less fatigued after the 500+ mile drive that ... Read More

Re: 2012 EXL-V6 Coupe - So far so good! [michael0137]
Same here. After Honda's for 20 years, we're now Honda free after putting up with the 2008 Accord with VCM. Great looking car, ran like a piece of crap.

Re: 2013 Honda Accord Coupe [temj12]
So far, I have only seen photos, but I agree with cars.com that the styling is outdated. In fact, the entire car is outdated, as it's just the current (2008-2012) car with a few very minor changes. Honda's "new" generation Civic was exactly the same thing: the old generation with a few minor changes (and several deletions) and so far it has bombed in the showroom. Consumer Reports has stopped recommending ... Read More

Re: Still Fine [tmk53]
I wish you the best of luck. Our 2008 Accord EXL V6 smoothed out after about 3000 miles. I was never impressed with the VCM V6 for power, but accepted the car for what it was - until at 28K all hell broke loose one day while cruiing at about 50 MPH - car downshifted 2 gears, VSA light came on and D light started flashing. Stopped - read manual about ... Read More

Re: 2008 accord lx -p for $19,500 [wayne21]
Hay, car dealers as other business people work to make money. They are not a charity. They are not left wing give everyone everything for free, Democrats. You have to expect that the dealer is in business to make money, PERIOD. If he didn't make money the dealer and his building would not be there. Yes, the dealer does make money on every aspect of buying the car, on your loan, ... Read More

Re: invoice pricing [bug4]
The INVOICE price on Edmunds is accurate but does every dealer pay that price? NO! The final price paid by a dealer depends upon how much the factory gives back to the dealer each month, called HOLD BACK. The more cars sold the more HOLD BACK MONEY the dealer gets and that results in the dealer actually paying a price a lot lower then the EDMUND's indicated INVOICE. This is commonly ... Read More

Re: 2008 accord lx -p for $19,500 [japs]
Seems here in NC they are willing to deal. I did buy my Accord (2005 LX auto 4-cyl) in July and they were willing to take less then what their lowest offer was to me so it may take some months to lower that price. Right now it seems like they are quoting at MSRP but I believe they will take invoice. Remember invoice price does not really mean invoice price. ... Read More

12/31/11 Update: Dumped our Accord too!
In case you didn't see my post on the VCM thread, we also sent our 2010 Accord down the road. About three weeks ago we traded it for a 2008 Lexus ES350 (Camry drive train). The Lexus has 41k miles on it, but is smoother, quieter, more comfortable and has a better sound system than the Accord. NO VIBRATIONS OR VCM TRANSITIONS! All-in-all, a MUCH nicer car than the Accord. In ... Read More

Re: 2008 accord lx -p for $19,500 [skoretsk]
below invoice pricing on the 08 accord coupe is pure fiction. Around summertime you will see very liberal pricing. Since my posts are being deleated on this subject, and numbers are just being tossed around, I'll just say that a family friend owns a Honda dealership, and I know what these things are selling for in most every market. Just like the Sedan was not intially discounted, so it goes with ... Read More

Re: Oil consumption [michael0137]
I'm climbing into your boat--sorta. Today we bought a lightly used 2008 Lexus ES250 with most of the factory bells & whistles. Gas mileage ought to be about the same as the Accord. Although we haven't experienced some of the disasters some VCM-equipped Accord owners have suffered through, we are tired of all the road noise, the overly harsh ride and the clunky poor-shifting transmission. Unless Honda makes some major improvements ... Read More

Re: 2008 Accord EX Sedan (Automatic) [japs]
It is nothing unusual that there are few coupes on the lots. I'm sure the dealership would love to tell you that there aren't many coupes because there is such an incredible demand. However, there are few coupes because Honda makes few and they make few because the demand is much less than sedans. If they made a 50/50 mix of coupes and sedans, the lots would start to fill with ... Read More

Re: Oil consumption [indydriver]
My 2008 Accord VCM has been using about a quarter of oil every 2,000 miles. The torque converter went out and was replaced a couple of months ago. The number 1 cylinder began misfiring a couple of weeks ago and the coil needed replaced (40,000 miles). The rear brakes went out at 12,000. In all honesty, I could not recommend the current model of Accords to anyone and would recommend that ... Read More

Re: Honda Accord 2012 vs Acura TSX 2009 vs Lexus IS250 2008? (Sort of Urgent) [backy]
Agree with the '08 TSX...better than the current model with it's more compact size. Would trade my Civic for a low miled one in a heartbeat if wife would let me. TSX does use premium fuel, but am sure 8 octane could be used.

Re: Honda Accord 2012 vs Acura TSX 2009 vs Lexus IS250 2008? (Sort of Urgent) [halflegend]
First, you should realize how lucky you are to have parents who would buy you such a nice car while you are still in high school. Be thankful for that (especially today) and tell them "Thank you!" and give them a big hug. Then honor them and their generosity by taking very good care of the car and driving it safely. As to the car... I think you realize the Accord ... Read More

Re: Honda Accord 2012 vs Acura TSX 2009 vs Lexus IS250 2008? (Sort of Urgent) [halflegend]
My advice to you (even though you probably don't want to hear it as I wouldn't at your age) is to get something a bit older as you will likely dent the heck out of it by you or someone else. Unless your parents are super rich, you are better saving that money for a nice car when you graduate college. I would suggest going for a 06 or 07 Accord ... Read More

A new Honda will have a 3-year warranty that neither of your other options will have, plus you will know the history of the car since you will have owned it since new. Hondas are fun to drive as long as you realize that the Honda is not & will never be a hot rod or rice rocket. You may like the looks of an Accord coupe over the sedan--be sure ... Read More

Yep. The Spoiler, lights, and camera were about $1500 installed. The HONDA WARRANTY is what I purchased (actually a service contract) for 699 (Platinum, not the Gold Plus). The rest was the protection package for glass (works like rain-x also protects against breakage from road debis- guaranteed replacement), paint, undercoating, leather, and carpet protection - all for $750. And a free umbrella... LOL ( I'm sure I paid for that as ... Read More

Indeed, the Valve Pause System may indeed be the problem that caused (or contributed) the plug fowling detailed in 10-033.

This is definitely one of the areas that the seat lacks in. In my thread where I gave the directions to fix this problem I added foam to the upper part of the seat to fix this problem. You are correct, this area needs attention also.

Re: 2008 Accord Sedan V6 ENGINE PROBLEM [burningedge]
burningedge- I also say give them the opportunity to fix it. It is highly uncommon for even first year, early production Hondas to have "teething problems". As cars become more and more technically advanced, the probability of malfunctions also increase. Were you provided with a loaner vehicle while yours is out of service? If not, I would INSIST that the dealer do so. I'd also let American Honda know that the ... Read More

Re: NOT BUDGING AT ALL ON 2008 ACCORD COUPE V6! [iandeleon]
Did you ask for a certain amount OR did you ask to see what is the most that you could get approved for? I asked for $17,000 at first because I was planning on buying used. When I found out I could get a new Accord for just a little more than what I was planning to pay for used, I asked for more money. B of A was the first ... Read More

Re: Honda Accord 2008 Seats [parviz]
I played with the seat adjustment and finally found a position that is comfortable for me. I find that the seat lacks support above the shoulder blade area. If you try to place your upper back against the seat it forces you to arch your lower back. This may be causing some peoples discomfort.

Re: NOT BUDGING AT ALL ON 2008 ACCORD COUPE V6! [iandeleon]
You're not really paying off your credit cards, you're just shifting debt from one form to another. Yes you've paid off credit with probably a high interest rate, but you've shifted into making payments on a depreciating asset. Will you still be as excited about the car 3 or 4 years from now, knowing your payments have been higher for years because you couldn't wait a few months? I paid $1000 ... Read More

Re: NOT BUDGING AT ALL ON 2008 ACCORD COUPE V6! [iandeleon]
iandeleonm, Consider yourself lucky that they want to sell it at MSRP. I visited Gillman Honda here in Houston, they marked up 08 sedan by $2000 and coupe by $3000 above MSRP. I saw a guy here post that he got it at invoice for a EXLV6 sedan in Dallas. Maybe we should go there.

Re: NOT BUDGING AT ALL ON 2008 ACCORD COUPE V6! [iandeleon]
But, you know, I don't even know if I'll get approved for even that amount anyway, because when I did an online pre-qualification for a loan with Bank of America, the pre-qualification came back with a MAX of only $26,000! I asked for $32,000 when I went on to the actual APPLICATION... so we'll see. I was prequalified by Bank of America for $17,000 @ 7.69% for 60 months. I then ... Read More

Re: 2005 vs 2006 -- which to pick? [mr_gone]
I agree with you about Honda styles. I have an '05 Accord EX-L Coupe which I really love. However, I don't think the style is that great. After I saw the new 2012 Civic four door, I posted a comment in that forum about Honda's lousy designs. I was "blasted" for saying anything negative about Honda. I do think Honda's styles are in the negative. The 2008+ Accord Couple looks awful. ... Read More

Re: NOT BUDGING AT ALL ON 2008 ACCORD COUPE V6! [iandeleon]
Demand will not always be higher than supply on the coupes. If Honda believes they are losing sales on the coupes because they aren't building enough for demand, they will build more once they determine this. The reason they build way less coupes than sedans is because the demand for coupes is way less. They could have made a 50/50 mix of produced coupes and sedans if that's what was selling. ...

Re: 2008 Honda Accord EX V6 [jb_turner]
He did not say OTD. Out the door prices are not useful quotes except people buying in that city at that exact dealer. People need to know the breakdown of where the price came from, not the price including their local taxes and license fees.

Re: 2008 Honda Accord EX V6 [jb_turner]
$28039 is the exact invoice price for a EXL w/navi. You can't get much lower than that! The dealer is probably counting on making money off of the lease. see invoice link here: http://www.kbb.com/KBB/NewCars/PricingReport.aspx?VehicleId=223871&PCFVehicles=&- ManufacturerId=18&VehicleClass=NewCar&ModelId=122&YearId=2008 -Nano

Re: 2005 vs 2006 -- which to pick? [stickguy]
Have any of you with a manual transmission started using a synthetic transmission fluid/oil instead of the conventional type? The only issue I ever experienced prior to 100k with any Honda 5-speed was a aversion to shifting easily into Reverse. Around 200k, my '93 Accord started balking at quick shifts into 3rd, but double-clutching did the trick when necessary. In 2006, I jumped ship and bought my first non-Honda vehicle, a ... Read More

2008 Honda Accord EX V6
Currently looking at purchasing a 2008 EX V6. Assuming I have to pay, Dest.-$635, Processing-$100,and Taxes and Tags, what is a fair price (for dealer and me) to offer over invoice? I know various dealerships may have different criteria, but is $500 over invoice (Nada Invoice) a fair offer for most dealers?

My experience on buying 08 EXL V6 without Navi
Went to the local dealer in Indianapolis, Invoice: $25,415 Destination: $635 Total: $26,050 But the dealer asked for $26,595(before 6% tax and $155 title), the difference of $545. I am very puzzeled here as I compare the price I paid for my 07 Oddyssey EXL. The 07 Oddyssey EXL is for $26,158(please check Oddysey Paid Experience). I got VCM(3 and 6 cylinders) and 25 MPG on this minivan. Why should I ... Read More

Re: Honda Accord 2008 Ex V6 Nav/PZEV NO 2 AND 5 PLUGS Malfuctioning [guudboi]
We have almost the same vehicle, less NAV... We just had our car repaired for some weird engine misfiring at 48,000 miles (orange engine light on). The dealer found 4/6 cracked factory spark plugs. When the computer codes were read, most were "misfire on cylinder X" where X = cylinder #. When I asked what caused the problem, the service manager told me "s**tty plugs" (read: cheap parts).

But your description of the advantages of the 2006 do make it seem worth holding out for. I totally agree about the tail lights looking better, although I think the car overall doesn't look as ...

2005 Honda Accord Harmonic Drone/Noise

My only problem is the DRONE when in eco mode at around 50 to 65 mph. This ... Read More

We also assume readers here have access to another car and/or airline tickets. If dealers in YOUR area will not deal then find one that will and go get your car. Or wait until your local dealers are hungrier for sales and lower the prices. Dennis

It's irrelevant what you said you paid as the market for this vehicle is not the same nationwide. What!? Over 460 discussions in the Prices Paid forums... We think it's very relevant.. They sell 400K Accords each year.. In Alaska or Hawaii, the price may be a little higher, but I don't think it varies that much, otherwise... Of course, you may find certain dealers that won't give a good price... ... Read More
