Used Accord pricing question - Honda Pilot

ESUguy · 09-29-2006, 09:39 AM

I'm going tomorrow to look at an Accord that sounds pretty much exactly what I want. It's a 2003 EX-L Sedan, with a 4 cylinder engine and a manual transmission. The list from their website is below. The price they have listed is $16,199. KBB has the retail listed as $18,010. Trade-in value is $14,225(excellent condition), and$13,385(good condition). Private party is listed as $16,085(excellen), and $15,145(good). What price should I be aiming/hoping for?

Thanks for your help,

Have you gotten a copy of the Carfax report? You will want to get your hands on that first.

I haven't seen the carfax yet. Most dealerships that I've been to have already pulled it, and if I doubt them I'll pull it myself after the testdrive.

Also, they had an ad in the paper today for $15,999.

I am in a similar situation. Wife's 2000 Chevy Malibu with 130K is have lots of problems. Need some better reliability. Looking at either Civic or Accord. When we looked at a Raleigh dealer's Internet listings and at CarMax, it seems that it is not much more to buy a new Accord than to buy a used 05! Am wondering if we could pick up a new 06 cheaper than a used? (Know we won't but the price difference may not be that great.)

Example 05 Accord LX with automatic and 16K miles for $19988. 07 Accord LX with auto is $20,925 for Blue. Green with 19,700 miles is $19,988.

04 Civic LX Galapogos Green Metallic with 18,857 miles for $16,488. Not sure the wife will be happy with Civic.

For these prices, might as well try to get a new 06 for a good price.

Am I missing something? Comments?
