that is not a bad deal, new accords retail around 20k (give or take couple Gs). A/C from factory install is about 1500 i think so u got urself a brand new accord for about 17gs. good deal imo

Wouldn't you rather have a lx or ex civic instead for around the same price?

Since you live in SoCal, you should think twice about not having A/C. If you want basic comfortable transportation then this Accord is a good choice. The Civic LX is also worth considering, with more features at similar price.

the ac is 1500 but i think i can bargain down the price, cause i can get a 2004 Honda Civic lx for 12,652 out the door.

Get the LX and buy a turbo with the extra $3,500 you saved.

I'm bored, so I put together a list of what you get with the LX over the DX, to help you make an educated decision.

Standard A/C
Power Mirrors
Power Locks
Cruise Control
Painted Door Handles
Chrome Window Trim
2 additional Cup Holders lease:
Lighted Vanity Mirrors lease:
Variable Delay Wipers
Electronic Trunk Release
Remote entry w/power window control
Manual Seat Height Adjustment
Map Lights
Sunglasses Holder
Audio: DX-2 speakers LX-6 speakers
Rear Seat Armrest and passthrough
Optional Side Airbags
Michelin Tires vs standard Firestones
14mm Rear Sway Bar

Weights. DX-3053 lbs LX-3109 lbs. No big difference there.
I say spend the extra money and get the LX or get an older model LX/EX.

i have a dx coupe no ac... never minded once.... and i live in FLORIDA... central florida at that no beach breeze and even in july its bearable just roll down your windows... as long as your not sitting in hours of traffic its worth the trade off for gas/power/weight i have no ac no power anything no pwr steering just engine and chassis and this is my favorite car ive owned.

however if your buying an accord your probly going for family/comfort so i would say no go for the ac and power all

ah I duno i dont dig the 4 door's look.

although thats a different car than a civic.

anyone that drives an accord can feel the difference right away. i'm not talking about speed or anything, although that car is faster... its just a nicer ride..

when I drive an accord, I dont care what it looks like on the outside though.

personally there's better cars out there than honda.

14k? grab a mazda 3

or something else *shrug*

I think it all depends on your financial situation. As for myself, I realized I got a lot with an lx civic over the dx. Might be the same situation with the accord. No AC? I think I would die--I'm a warm person so I gotta have it, even though I only use it for a few months up here in Boston.

No a/c and only two speakers? Damn! I was unaware that car makers still pulled this crap. Oh, well...I'd say go with the LX Accord, you'll be happy for it.
