Hello:

About to purchase an Accord LX , and am trying to get all my ducks in order
re pricing before I go to dealership.
Very confusing.

Edmunds is a great site, but for some reason does not have
any prices for the options. Just says options aren't available for this
model, but
I know there are. Such as side air bags, auto trans., etc.

a. is there a "better" site with more complete pricing, especially
regarding options pricing ?

b. also, Edmunds uses a descriptor of SRS, which I assume is supplemental
restraint
system, but what is PZEV ?

c. also curious about what your opinions might be re 4 vs 6 cyl ?
e.g., reliability, and potential life ? Can I expect them both to
last as long ?

d. the LX comes with 15" tires. Is it worth the hassle to go for the 16 "
ones which their upscale Accords come with as st'd. ?
better handling, or... with the 16" ?

any thoughts on Acords vs Camry would also be appreciated.

Much thanks,
Bob

Bob; I just went to Edmunds and found the problem. You need to scroll
down further on the Accord listings. You will come to prices on
Coupes, 4 doors, Sticks, LX's, Ex's, LX Autos, LX Autos with Side Air
Bags, etc. It's there but I almost missed it too. Everyone I've talked
to says the 4cyl. is plenty powerful and so does all the magazine
reviews. Personally, if I had the choice of the 4 or a FREE V-6, I'd
take the 4cyl. in a heartbeat! Both engines are very reliable. I think
an Accord with a 5 speed Automatic and side air bags would be an
absolutely awesome vehicle. I have a 99 Accord LX, 4cyl.Auto and it's
great. I've heard the 2004's are outstanding! Good luck ed
