I've been interested in purchasing the new 2008 Accord coupe. But, it seems like most dealers only have one or two coupes on their lot and they are holding them like gold.

They say Honda can't keep up with supply. I'm saying it's BS, they are just doing that so they can keep a premium on the sticker price.

What do you guys think? It's cheaper and easier to negotiate for a sedan than a coupe.

 

I think the coupes sell VERY quickly. Our's sat on the lot for exactly 1 day before we bought it. There are very few coupes at the dealer's lots here. LOTS of four doors, but few coupes.

 

I think that if you see one and it's the right color that you'd better just snap it up

don't you think they'll eventually have more stock and prices will be more negotiable?

 

why is it that coupe's are harder to find....

welcome to the site calexico888
im was born on that side of town on mexicali across the border...lmao

 

i remember reading in an article in USA Today not too long ago they quoted Honda North America as saying the production of the coupe is pegged at about 50k units annually right now for North America... not alot when you consider that, i believe, Honda sells about 400k Accords in NA in a typical year

the dealer i bought mine at had 7 coupes at the time, and 100+ sedans

 

In my opinion, the new '08 coupes look like Mercedes Benz. They are really a work of art and Honda did alot of things to improve on such an iconic vehicle. So my thoughts are why not buy a car that looks like a Benz, when you pay half the price. Just something to think about.

 

so this is where i'm at.
should i get an 08 Accord Sedan EX or 08 Accord Coupe LXS

Basically I can get both of these at the same price (23k OTD). And i'm currently on the fence not knowing which one to get. I like both of them, but i do know that the coupe is way prettier.

Which one would you get?

 

Wow, that sucks....the lot a couple miles from here has about 5-6 coupes--I looked at em all last weekend.

 

if you dont need the added room of the sedan, i'd go for the coupe... even though it's the LX-S, you get the slightly larger 4cyl (190bhp, 162lb-ft) that comes in the EX sedan (LX/LX-P sedan has 177bhp, 161lb-ft)...not a huge difference but every little bitcounts... obviously by going with the LX-S you forgoe some ofthecreature comforts like theimprovedstereo, sunroof, power seats, etc... but youget a nicer looking car too, in my opinion. dont know if you'd want a stick but if you can source it, i'd get the 5spd MT. a 4cyl LX 5spd MThas got to bethe hardest model coupe to find, but ifthatswhat you're in themarket for, i'd get that. either way, i dontthink you'll bedisappointed...the rear seats in the coupe fold down as well to give you more room, but even without that, im able to fit2 golf bags in the trunk with some space left over for bags and what not.
