2006 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6

2008 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 If your replacing an Accord with an older Accord, say 4 to 6 years older you will reap the benefits of their resale value, otherwise nearing $30,000 your first one can bring some steep payments and rhey expect much larger downpayments going into a lease.
2006 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 The new car prices are over rated for what you get because the value loss in the first 3 years.

2003 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Pricey to buy both new and used, but worth it for the reliability and resale.
