[nickxau]

Just for future reference for other people, I sealed the deal this arvo for $37,500 driveaway. Specs are Euro standard, Honda specials (i.e. free rego & CTP, 5yrs Honda warranty, 5yrs Honda roadside assist), tints, mats, bootliner and reverse parking sensors.

Got my new Honda Accord Euro Luxury Black Auto yesterday for $42500 drive away with:-

Premium white plates
Honda carpet mats
Window Tint
Ipod interface (Honda)

I was excited and looking forward to the genuine Honda Ipod interface but it's control of the Ipod is only useful if you create playlists. It works pretty much like the controls for the incar 6 CD changer where you scroll from song to song on each CD with no direct zoom in on the song you want. Aside from that it's still great to have a direct connection from your Ipod to the stereo..great sound from the original Euro 10 speakers stereo btw but it wouldn't be long before I start thinking about putting in amplifiers and good speakers..and a removable sub hehe.

and while I'm here just wanted to say hi to everyone...great forum.

I found an old receipt today for an Accord VTI (mid range spec) I purchased new in Dec. 1994. $41,990. When you consider how much The Accord has improved over the years there really is really no comparison as we get so much more car for our money these days.
I know money is tight for most of us, but the CU2 is twice the car that the 94 Accord was & much better equipped. This leads me to believe that we get a lot more car for our money these days.

Not only that mate, my base CU2 is a lot safer and better equipped than my old base CL9. All for cheaper too!

From what i know is that price increases are not just for Honda but is for most other car makers as well. It was the same for when my friends who bought the Audi, BMW, Mazda 6 and so on..

December was the best time to by MY08 model as the lowest price i heard was $44K for A/T CU2 Navi model.. with Mats/Tint/Weather shields/Wheel locks..

But At the end of the day i think MY09 model was a good deal ..
