| Price of the Honda Accord: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
a great value for the money - it compares to BMW 3 series, Nissan Maxima, Saab, or Volvo all much more $ |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The car had 5K miles on it; the price for a loaded EX-L (no navi) was $19,400. It now has 12K & is very nice especially for the price. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
its cheap! It is a great bang for the buck. I could not find a better car for 22K |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Best car for the price. Unable to obtain any like american car for the same monthly payments and we have leased for 12 years. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Got 2.9 APR for 5 Years (0.9 APR was also available for 3 Years) |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Got 2.9APR for five Years(.9 APR was also available for 3 Years) |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
I bought in December 2007 in Woodbridge, VA. I got a great deal. All said and done after all taxes and fees: Less than $21,500. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
price was significantly lower than list |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
The Accord is priced at a very reasonable price point for the different models. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
$22K out the door; 3.9% for 36 months |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
about $1500 less than the same Camry |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Got a good deal on my vehicle, which I purchased at the end of the model year. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Paid cash. |
| 2006 | 2dr Coupe 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
I received a $3500 incentive for buying a "left-over" car. I purchased a new 2006 Accord in Jan/2007. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
I must have hit the dealer at the right time because I am paying less for the V6 6SP than I was paying for a 2003 EX-L 4 cyl w/5SP and with no money down, only first months payment due at signing. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Price was 19 out the door including tax for me new in MT. Dealership cost may be high, but the chances your car is going to break down is nil, so thats even more thirft. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
We bought a DX with dealer-installed AC. $13,000 plus a Plymouth Breeze with a blown head gasket. Not bad for a brand new car with 11 miles on the odometer. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
Using CarsDirect, my price was 23.4 exclussive of TTL |
| 2002 | 2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
In 2001, I bought a fully-equipped Honda Accord Coupe brand new for less than $21,000. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 150-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The dealer was terrible. No price break offered or given upon my request. I walked. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
See above. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The car is expensive, lets hope the resale stays up long enough. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
If your replacing an Accord with an older Accord, say 4 to 6 years older you will reap the benefits of their resale value, otherwise nearing $30,000 your first one can bring some steep payments and rhey expect much larger downpayments going into a lease. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The new car prices are over rated for what you get because the value loss in the first 3 years. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
In my area used Accords cost more year by year than Camrys do. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Year for year used Accord prices in my area are higher than Camry prices. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The low deprciation is a double edged sword and V6 Accords were about $3000-4000 more than any of the Maximas I was looking at. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Pricey to buy both new and used, but worth it for the reliability and resale. |
| 2000 | 2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
It was simply too expensive. |

| 2008 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
You get a full size class interior and quality materials at a reasonable (for european vehicle) price. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
You get(LUXE) MUCH more for the same as a base A4. VW also has incentives rarely matched. |
| 2007 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Found price to be $3000 to $4000 less than comparable wagon with comparable room. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
lease payments are low |
| 2007 | 4dr Wagon 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
optimal price/features ratio |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This car was three years old. It was near the cutoff mileage where VW’s CPO would not cover the car. And it was priced to sell at 3K less than similar cars on the lot. If it had not sold that week it would have been sent to auction. |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
too expensive |
| 2008 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Passat is a little more expensive than other cars. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
My turbo four cost $26,000 with just rear side air bags, heated seats and floor mats as options. About $3500 over a similar Camry and Honda four. |
| 2007 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Price is higher than a comparable Japanese car like an Accord or Camry, although the Passat does pack way more features and the base Passat is much better equipped than the base Accord or Camry. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
4 motion is very $$$ |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
Price a little on the high side becasue dealer does not compete in the Canadian market, it was sort of buy it or leave it. No incentaives like the US. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
so many options that add to sticker price |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Passats just got too expensive for the common folk Handling was good but everything else was a joke. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The Passat is more expensive than other cars when new but you are paying for quality. |
