I got my new car this past Sunday
previous was a 2000 honda accord EX dark green
09 Honda Accord Coupe LX (wanted EX but left with this)
Polished Metal Metallic
Wanted to buy it before the nationwide special APR financing ended on the 5th
Went to Goudy Honda, stayed for 5 hours with my mom
The price the dealer gave me over the phone was $21,900
Originally wanted the EX, but then the dealer didn't have a black interior, ugly two toned instead
The LX they had there had it. Decided I didn't need a sun roof nor did we want to go to another dealer, so went with the LX
though in the middle, my mom and the dealer were saying that sedan is more practical and convenient and stuff like that
I even reluctantly agreed to get a sedan. but right when the dealer brought out the papers i quickly yelled NOOOO and changed it back. I figured that this car is more practical than other coupes out there and the other cars i was thinking about. I am not going to have a kid soon and baby seats getting in the way (one of my mom's excuses) and hey...im likely not going to drive a coupe in the future, better now than later.
my mom haggled, dealed, negotiated, walked out twice till finally it was whittle down to $20,500
OTD was $22,200 with no accessories tongue2.gif fury.gif

future plans so far:
alarm system (shhhhhh >_<)tints, spoiler, rims, change the headlights, interior lights, leather sweatingbullets.gif

pics (everything stocked)

i knowwww
it is
to me...it's the perfect car
23/31 190hp
look sexy as hell and pricey but actually isn't
reliable company
makes heads turn tongue.gif
drives pretty much like my old accord, cept more power and more responsive
great choice of color

i am and will baby it
i park further awy from others to lessen the chance of idiots hitting hte sides with their doors
and constantly check it to make sure there aren't any marks
also, im not gonna punish the sh!t out of it by speeding like crazy and end up crashing it

Yayyy another Accord Coupe on Soompi! biggrin.gif So far I count 3, you, me, and kYu. I have the LX-S, too, except I went with Taffeta White w/ Tan Interior. And it seems that you got a better deal than me, I paid (and still paying) $24k after everything (mudflaps and cargo net were included). You're so lucky your mom helped you out, too! I got mine from Honda of Pasadena, maybe I should've went to Alhambra.

Uhh, and I'm glad to see you're not leaving it stock.
As for the alarm, the coupe has a generic one, it just doesn't have the "beep" sound when you lock/unlock it.
Tint will definitely make this car look way better. I went 23/17 at California Tint (across Rosemead High).

Not sure if you're on there already, but have you joined DriveAccord.net or v6performance.net?
There's a bunch of information on there for us 8th gens.

I think I'll post up my own Car-411 soon and include links to your page and kYu's!
Sorta like a Soompi Accord Coupe family HAHA cool.gif

Man, why am I so enthusiastic today...?

mine's a LX-P....i think
i was thinking about getting white but then after seeing this pic i changed my mind


i put $2000 down
going to pay $500 or so each month for 36 months
i was going to go to the one in Pasadena, but goudy was closer to my mom's work place
im located in 818
the tint place i found is a place called solar eclipse and $120 for all around windows
so im gonna do that sooon!

nooo mine still beeps when you lock it
i have NO alarm system on it, cause the dealer was going to keep the car till thurs to install it, instead of finishing it on mon for my mom to pick up. So she decided to just take it back and get someone she knows to instal one for a cheaper price
=____=

i have looked at the driveaccord.net one
i was browsing it before sunday to see what the polished metal metallic looked like in un-PSed photos
the taffeta white i already know how it looks cause my neighbor's got an EX-L V6 and i practically drooled whenever i passed by it
i'll drop in again and see. But im not planning on any performance mods. So pretty much i just need help with spoilers and rims
haha
but thanks for the info

hahaha
fasho
the soompi accord coupe family
we should get others to join with different colors

Yea, I saw that PMM Coupe concept too. Shame there's nothing in the real world that matches it. Led fog lights, yikes.
Good deal with the tint too, I did $120 for 5 windows. As for the alarm, I see what you mean, hahah.
There's not much performance mods out anyways, but you don't care about those, so it doesn't matter biggrin.gif.

i knew there was no way i could get my car to look like that
but the color hooked me in
the spoiler kinda caught my eye, but don't know about that yet

i also might want to get the tail lights smoked out but still not sure
and the place charge $80 extra
not sure if that's normal or what mellow.gif

nooo

That concept looks really nice. After the front 1/3, the rest reminds me of a Bimmer. I doubt you can make it look anywhere near that without some big $$$. I really dislike the sharp lines on the grille, but un-chroming it as shown on the concept makes it look alright.

Congrats on the new car beats! Alarm and tints! My first two upgrades for all my cars. cool.gif

Toyota had 0% APR for AWHILE. I wonder what happened to it.

Maybe a few years back, they were. The Accord has stepped up its game and has reached 30k for its highest trim.

As for your tinted taillights, you can do that yourself.

soo a little update
windy days = dirty car mad.gif
got tints yesterday on mon
30 on the front passanger and driver
20 on the back side windows and back window
$135 and loooove my new tints >=]
and the other addition....well you'll see ^.~
i decided not to get a spoiler till months later or a year or two later

and a side note
Goudy Honda is such a shady dealership =/
turns out they lied about the car not having a alarm already installed on it
and they lied to my mom when she asked for those nifty honda key chains cause they're useful
the salesperson was telling her he never promised her any key chains and the dealership didn't have any
we told the manager how much we hate the service there when he called us for a followup review
and now he's promising us to send extra keychains to us and allweather mats tongue.gif

yeaaah i know
big $$ is something i don't have =/
even paying for the tints left me crying TT.TT
unchroming it?
sorry im a newb when it comes to stuff like this
there's a way to change the shape of the chrome? cause i also don't like the shape of it. I wish it was smoother like a G35
speaking of which saw a G37 type S in front of me today tears.gif

well the special honda was offering was 1.9% for 36 months and afterwards, 3.8% for 72 months i believe
we decided on the 36 months plan
are you planning to get the coupe next year when you can get a new car then?

i guess i have to look online or osmething to buy those then
but im not sure i'll be tinting the tailights anymore....
btw
saw your thread hahaha
i'll leave a comment soon

i LOVE the color i choose =]
white is sexy but im too lazy to clean it
black looks nice, but i didn't want an all black car
and the color i choose isn't seen on cars too much, easy to maintain, sexy =]

good thing i got a friend who knows a lot about cars to install stuff for me plus teach me

were you in a rush to get what you wanted? o well. good luck with your car!


well i kind of was because i had no idea when the special financing was going ot end. I found out 4 days before it would've ended, and after informing my mom, i spent the following day reseachign and finding prices. I was already pretty much sold on getting the accord coupe before all this. I spent the last few months of 2008 looking at cars, because my younger brother was going to take my old car once he started to drive. That's how I went from wanting a Acura TL, to a TSX (because we could've gotten great low prices from a family friend), to a Mazda6, to a accord. So for the past 2-3 months i knew what i wanted, but wasn't sure when I was going to get it, just before May or when my bro gets his license. My mindset when we arrive at the dealership was ''Im getting my car no matter what!'' If the price was right, then my mom and i were prepared to get it. If the price wasn't right, well we would've gone back the next day (monday) or gone to a different dealership. So I suppose I was in a rush to get it because of the nice deal, but i wasn't desperate either.

thanks
i wouldn't have gotten a nice price on the car if it wasn't for my mom
the dealer we had actually told me when my mom went to go to the bathroom, '' you're mom is so fierce.'' Cause she literally made the guy go like ''wtfffff....it's hopeless TT.TT ''

out of the price range?
there's always used 08's and finance it
