2008 Honda Accord - How much did u pay driveaway? (pics added)

[doosra]

I went to the dealership with the missus today and she ended up purchasing a new 2008 Honda Accord VTI.

It is a white in colour with the following:


Honda floor mats
Window Tints
Parking Sensors
Paint Protection
12 months rego & ctp
5 years warranty
5 years road side assistance


The price was $31.2k driveaway.

I'm just curious on whether this is a good price and what you fellow accord owners have picked up your car driveaway for?

[oz_accord]

Thats a pretty good price and looks like they havent dropped much yet.

I got my Silver accord VTI back in March when it just came out. $31K drive away
- tint window
- fog light
- rear parking sensor
- mats

[hotout]

ouch! with the market the way it is, I reckon $30k with all above (except paint protection) is achievable. Why'd you want paint protection anyway? It's an expensive dealer option.

I picked up my Polished metal 08 Accord with Floormats, Tinted windows for $29500 driveaway

[dyljoy]

my new car purchase at Larke Hoskins (Homebush) near P'matta was pretty good. Good price upfront but you still need to haggle a bit.

First thing that's going to be done is to lower the car, i'd like to get coilovers for it, however not sure there are coilovers for these yet. May even just change the springs. If anyone has lowered their Accord or knows where to get the gear, let me know.

[dyljoy]

brand "D2" seems release the coilover for new accord, have a check on ebay. cheers

Your serious ? What would you think ? If it were your business would you honour it as warranty ? I don't think so.

[eternityz]

you should be able to. the isnt here at the moment i'll go check on the warranty later.

just make up some bullshit to them

[Zimp13]

wat do i think???? i only know 1 thing for sure... if the warranty does cover against scratches.... it means the business have put this potential cost into consideration for its pricing.... if the business didnt consider the warranty potential cost and didnt test its own product beforehand, would the business give such warranty???????

[Zimp13]

thank u... i ll check mine as well.... :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[VTECACCORD]

Let me know if they cover it.

I don't know anyone that would think up such a warranty policy that would cover a child scratching it.

Of course u can lie about it, but then karma's a bitch isn't it.

i think u missed the point...... if the warranty does warrant against any scratches, then it does not really matter who scratches it....... it makes no difference whether the kids scratch it or the adult scratch it cos both are not done on purpose.....

i ll check the warranty tomorrow and post it up here.....

:)

[Zimp13]

ok.... warranty does not cover scratches.... damn!!!!!!

window tints life time warranty.... what does that mean???

A warranty is only as good as the company that backs it and even then only until it goes out of business.

I don't think much of "lifetime warranties". The scenario is you make a claim because of a failure and the business says "Oh, the warranty only covers the life of the product" and you say "but it has failed" and they say "well, that's the end of its life then so there is no further warranty cover because it was only for the lifetime of the product".


PS Only joking! But you're right. What does "lifetime warranty" mean?
