I guess alot of people didn't see my post....U can buy a 2014 or 15 for $22 k fully loaded with less than 10 k miles. Why pay $30k?
"I just typed up 2014 and 2015 accords on auto trader with less than 15 k miles, with leather, under $26k price, and came up with 28 cars within 200 miles of me. a good percentage of them were around $22 k for either 4 or 2 door and most of them had less than 10 k miles. Some with less than 2 k miles. Buy a year old one and save huge and keep the warranty. "

You do know they make more than one model with leather right?

4 cyl EX-L, EX-L w/ Nav
6 cyl EX-L, EX-L w/Nav, Touring

That varies the price quite a bit. The "$30k" Accord is at minimum a V6. Nav MSRP is about 32k, Touring 34k.

Your post is useless without that information. My V6 EX-L w/ Nav was purchased for about $28k, brand new. I even totaled one 9 months after purchase and made money through the insurance valuation.

You may be able to find a better slightly better deal on a 10k Miles used car, but a Honda is not going to depreciate as much as you imply.
