I'm looking at purchasing a 2005 V6 6-Spd Coupe in the very near future and just had a few questions:

(yes I tried searching and I read the forum faqs but didn't see what I was looking for)

Does anyone know the invoice price on that car for Canada (Ontario specifically)?

The MSRP is $34,300.

Also when looking at options on this car I may decide to keep it mostly stock (except maybe bolt ons like CAI and rims) - so I was looking at the "upgraded sport suspension" on the honda website. Not sure if this is worth the money or if the gains are very minimal and I should just save the $$$.

I'd love to learn more about this car if anyone knows anything - I've seen that it gets top marks for safety and reliability and looks like a damn good value as well. Unfortunately I'm looking at making a deal in the next few days before the rates go up (I'm thinking of leasing) and residuals go down (I was quoted 45% now but maybe 40% next month but it could stay the same). Also they have a good gas offer which I would put towards the car as cash which I was told was good until April (but the Honda site says May I believe). Like I said I wish I had more time to read everything I can find about this car but I am looking to deal soon so I would greatly appreciate any info or tips you guys have.

thanks a bunch!

 

Well, here's what I can tell you... Using 2004 prices (2005 invoice isn't listed on KBB):

Retail - $26,990
Invoice - $24,333

That's about a 10% less than retail. It should be roughly the same %, so around $31,000.

The HFP suspension only slightly lowers the car, with slightly stiffer springs and struts. The good thing is that it's covered under warranty. The bad thing is it's overpriced, in my opinion.
