Someone lied to you if you were told you could get a 2005 Accord EX-L 4 door sedan automatic for $30K on the road. If you can get that price please buy me a couple of them while you are at it. Even with the current Honda credit of $1350 on all Accord sedans except the Hybrid (it is $2350 on Accord coupes) you are going to be looking somewhere north of $32,350 which would be dead nuts cost including all taxes and freight.
The car lists out at $36,288.25, less the $1350 after tax credit bringing it down to $34,938.25. With a $2250 margin to work with, and assuming even a GTA dealer has to keep some gross prfit, you will likely be looking at somewhere in the vicinity of $33,000 all in.
2006s will not land untl very late September, by then if Honda Canada has cleared most of their 2005 Accords they may take the $1350 credit away. Or they may increase it, you won't know until it's basically too late. If you bought this car at $33K, I'd be satisfied that I saved over $3000 from list price, and the dealer isn't getting rich selling it to you at that price.
