at 23k, its a pretty good deal, but prices a lot higher then it did 5 years ago. No longer just an economy car anymore… I did see one at work today that was a NEW EX navigation with auto tranny for 21k, but it didn’t have leather. 2 door is a lot hotter though. ---

ehhh… dont get me wrong… nice car and all, but not 30K nice (IMHO) has some nice features but can be done cheeper I’d think. For 30K I think I’d be looking at some luxo cruisers ---

For 30K I think I’d be looking at some luxo cruisers ok - I’ll bite. What would you consider buying for 30k that is comparable to what you would get in an accord (ie same features and similar size). and what price point do you believe the accord should be at if you don’t think its worth 30k? ---

Like I said… I think it’s a nice car and has some nice options but I guess I should have stated, that I personally wouldnt buy one for 30K. yeah, so it has a nav. system… its cool and all, but now a days almost everything can be had with a nav. system. I dont know… 30K is alot of money and Accord doesnt jump out at me as something I’d like to spend that much cash on (no offense to honda peeps). I mean, it’s like a polished up/hyped up economy car… there are alot of cars out there that can be had in the same price range and size that that are similarly equipped. hell, look at a car and driver (or the interweb for that matter)… I dont know, everyone has their opinions and thats mine 🙂 ---

jaguar x-types start at 32k Infiniti G35’s start at 31K Fully loaded Camry’s are under 30K My dad picked up an 06’ grandprix GT (which now has the GTP motor), loaded with leather, moonroof, naviagiton, premium sound, bling rims, etc for under 30k THe A4 is in there too I think montego / fusion THere are others, but lots of options. ---

X-Type - More money less features and a worse performer G35 - More money, when loaded comparably to the accord your close to 40k Camry - less features and well, its not a “luxo cruiser” Grandprix- well we know thats not a “luxo cruiser” and well its got a GM interior A4 - At the same price range it has NO FEATURES! I didn’t say there weren’t options at that price range, just not “luxo cruiser” options. 10 years ago 30g got you into a decently equipped luxury brand car. It doesn’t now. ---

“I didn’t say there weren’t options at that price range, just not “luxo cruiser” options. 10 years ago 30g got you into a decently equipped luxury brand car. It doesn’t now.” I agree Point noted I guess just for the sake of comparing, the accord isn’t a luxury car either, so lets compare with that in mind. I’m only comparing on a competitive level of what car you’re getting for the money… > [@JettaX](#): > > X-Type - More money less features and a worse performer > Much better looking car, interior is of higher quality and design, All wheel drive, better sound system. > > G35 - More money, when loaded comparably to the accord your close to 40k > Probably about 5k more then the accord when fully loaded, i’ll give you that, but pretty much the same as i listed for the jag. > > Camry - less features and well, its not a “luxo cruiser” I dont see how you’re at less features? It has just as many for about 4k less > > Grandprix- well we know thats not a “luxo cruiser” and well its got a GM interior Not what I would consider a luxry car, but def on the same level as the accord. > > A4 - At the same price range it has NO FEATURES! might be true…prob the same catagory as the G35 These are cars that are in the same competitive market as the Accord for one reason or another. Which I guess brings it down to what the driver is looking for. For me personally, I would pick up a 1-2 year old hot luxury car over a new accord. Someone else may want the accord. However all that being said, there are a lot of different directions you can go for 30K ---

yeah you might be able to get something simular for $30k But How many times to I have to mention RESALE VALUE if you buy a ford, for $30k it will only be worth 15 in 2 years after 5 years it wont be worth anywhere near what a 5 year old accord will be Honda reliability + RESALE = Honda FTW [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-fully-loaded-accord-is-a-good-deal/6939.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-fully-loaded-accord-is-a-good-deal/6939.md?page=5)
