2006 accord? difference between EX and LX?
Hi,
I am in the market for a new/used(2004-2005) Honda Accord and was wondering what is the difference between the EX and the LX models? Also, when would the 2006 Accord be coming out? If anyone has been closeley following the cars previews is it something to wait for or better to get the '05 instead? What are the good/bad things in the new accord? Lastly I am sure that there would be a unanimous agreement in that the Accord is wayyy better then the camry (in this group at least), but am wondering if someone could offer and unbiased opinion as to why is it better and what (if any) are the drawbacks? Thank you for your help. |

You will still be in the current generation. Expect only minor
changes. I have never seen a good reason to upgrade within a generation. The 2006 should be out next month +/-. In my opinion, now is the time to buy a 2005, not wait for a 2006. There are significant differences between the LX and EX versions, but it's all bells and whistles. The basic car is the same. Go to Edmunds http://www.edmunds.com/ for a complete explanation of the differences. You can also go to the Honda website http://automobiles.honda.com/ , but I like the way Edmunds explains it. I don't think you will find unanimous agreement that the Accord is much better than the Camry. Depends on what you are looking for. Both are very reliable cars, and both hold their value well. The Honda has a more sporting suspension, and many like its looks better. The Camry is often described as being more like a Buick in the way it rides and performs. Either car is an excellent choice.

Virtually no differences with the 2006 model compared to 2005.
The 2007's will have a revised rear end. The 2008's will be all new. |

I'm pretty sure both have 4 wheel discs. The EX has alloy wheels, the moonroof, and climate control. You should check out edmunds.com They have a bottomless pit of information. Really good site, but you have to poke around a bit. Cheers, --N |

The LX 4-cylinder has front discs and rear drums, but the LX V6 has discs on all 4 wheels. |

If the new Hondas are due to come out in Fall does that mean that the
'05s would be on sale at that time? In which case is it advisable to buy it right now or wait till the new models come out? - What percent discount from the blue book invoice value would be a "good price" to buy it for? For example if I am getting a car 5% less then the listed invoice price on the blue book is that a good deal? |

You need to keep lookin' at the Edmunds web-site. Sometimes, dealers
will be given an incentive of $500 to $1000 to get rid-off older models etc., You need to know this, before you go. Also, watch the newspapers. Sometimes they advertise the sale price -- sometimes, absolute minimum. Invoice price is one thing, but you need to look at dealer's incentive, too. |

Hi,
A couple of questions: - So I like the 2006 Accord.. the question being again, when the new cars come out would their MSRP be the same as the '05 Accords right now? and would the '05 Accords go down in price? or would the '05 Accords be about the same price as now and the '06 Accord be at a higher price? - I found a 2004 Accord that I like with the lucrative reason being that whoever bought the car had bought a 10 year bumper-to-bumpuer warranty with it. Its a 2004 Accord EXL. When I am factoring in the pric I want to know approximately how much would the 10 year warranty cost? Also, when I purchase a used car how do I pay tax on it? (I am in New York City). Thanks again for all your help.. much appreciated. |
