I was checking around on Edmunds.com for the price
of a 03 v6 coupe 6m.. They quoted the invoice
at 23,765 which is not bad,
What are the chances of ever it that cheap ?

 

The TMV is based off of the automatic's TMV, since the 6MT isn't available yet. I would say you're an idiot if you pay over MSRP for the 6 speed, and a good negotiator if you pay under.

 

I agree, but good luck getting under MSRP, at least for the intial batch. Hold out for some goodies, ie: wings, fogs, etc....

 

my friends dad is a sales manager at honda and was looking to ebay it for over 30k.

 

Your friend's dad is an idiot, as you can get a CL-S 6 speed for that price I would say, at most, someone will pay $1500 over MSRP.

 

Anyone who pays anything over sticker is an idiot. MSRP has enough profit built in to it for the dealer and the mfg. to be happy. Anything more is pure dealer profit only. They've already paid for the car, so whatever they make on top of what the MSRP is goes directly into the shnook's pockets. There's only one car on the planet I might be willing to pay over sticker for, and that would be a Lamborghini Murcielago. For the only reason that it's one of the the few cars that will appreciate the second you drive it off the lot. And it's the only car I would trade my girlfriend for.

 

Actually, Lamborghinis have one of the worst residual values. Go check the price of Diablos...you can get an early 90's version for under 90 grand. If you want residual value in an exotic car, you need to find something that they only produce a few of...such as a Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari F50, Ferrari F40, Saleen S7, McLaren F1, etc etc...but, then again, a Murcielago will probably begin to appreciate when it is 20 or 30 years old. Wow, that was severely off topic h:

 

More off topic - A friend has a Ferrarri 355 Spyder and it's value is going south, just like anything else. You need EXTREMELY low production and a lot of time to make it an investment.

 

You ruined it man..... my point was that the only car I would ever pay more than MSRP is one that you can have serious fantasies about. Be it Ferrari or what ever. Ah, you missed my point, it was supposed to be tongue-in-cheeck (with the reference to my gf) and now we're waaay off topic. Jeeze, thanks alot. :fawk:

So, how much for an Accord again?

 

I'll sell you my 6MT on order for $32,000! I'll even throw in a Lamborghini badge to put on it.
