I was looking at the 6 speed V6 coupe... if the prices listed DON'T include destination, that means that prices have gone up!

including the dest chg... If you get suckered into it...lol

Do you guys think HOnda will give a discount on the old 08 accord coupe v6? Since they need to get rid of the old 08's

if you can find one but odds are probably not they cant keep the coupe's in stock as it is let alone, a v6

including the dest chg... If you get suckered into it...lolI'm not sure what your inferring to!

Destination charge is like death & taxes, no way around it. People often go by the MSRP/invoice of a particular vehicle w/o including it, then are shocked at the end of the dealing session to see it.

Best thing to do is always add the destination charge to the MSRP & invoice, and then begin negotiating from there. . .

I thought destination charges were unavoidable too... unless the car was used.

How much below invoice did you get your Accord? I'm assuming the destination charge was already factored in.

Trust me, whether the dealer tells you or not, you pay it. Why? Because the dealer has to pay it. It's a Honda North America thing, no way around it. . .

But, it could be a lot worse... the destination charge for a Ferrari or Lamborghini is a few grand, lolz. . .

Yep, destination charge is always built into MSRP and invoice. Don't know why it's even listed separately on the MSRP. Just like tires, it's going to be part of the price, no matter what.

So how much did it go up? Later.

Taking 3% inflation rate per year into account, that's actually about right. In that sense, the new Accord has actually gotten a tiny bit cheaper.

25000 * 1.03 = 25750

3% inflation of 25000 is $750.

why would the inflation rate be 3 percent per year. That is too much, wouldn't accords be like 10,000 dollars more now than they were in like 1990 if that were true?

*edit it looks like a 1990 Accord was an average of about 6-7k less per trim than the current Accord. HOWEVER, most of this is probably due to size and features right. So where is all of the inflation?

I read somewhere that the 08 accords are worth 500 more than they're being sold for... maybe Honda took note of that.

3% inflation is the generally agreed upon figure for purchasing power of a dollar. For example, you put $10,000 in a bank account with no interest. A year later, you still have $10,000, but the buying power of that $10,000 is 3% less than a year ago. This is economy 101...

You cannot use old cars for this example. Automobiles are horrible investing goods. Heck, driving a new car off the lot and you lose 20% of its value. Automobiles does not appreciate, only depreciate, with the exception of collector cars.

The Euro version looks alot like the new acura. I didnt know Accord had a wagon version.

The 2009 Euro Accord is the same as the 2009 Acura TSX here, I believe (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). The Acuras here aren't station wagons though.
