My local honda dealers have a few HCH MT's in stock that I am going to look at this week, I'm in Maryland. Are there two versions of the 2005 HCH? I've been reading about CA and a couple of other states that get one with a smaller tank and no lean-burn functions. Any way to tell at the dealer?
Pricing so far seems to be decent in this area, with dealers offering around invoice or lower, I'll have to see what options they are adding to the car. Any thoughts on this?
Also, anyone go for an extended warranty and would you mind sharing what you paid? Thanks and looking forward to hearing from everyone!
Two weeks ago I paid $17,800 for my 2004 HCH CVT with 14k miles. It was like new.

If you don't like the smell of diesel fuel, then by all means get biodiese! Go totally no-perto! My truck is a diesel and I wish I could do that but supply is limited here. the only place that sells it is a commercial fuel outfit open 9-5 and located in an industral part of town I never go to. :-(
