2004 Accord

[allies]

I'm looknig long and hard at a 2004 Accord. EX, V6, 6 speed. 26,000 miles, clean record, regularly serviced.. Price: $16,500. I think it's a pretty good deal, anyone say otherwise? Thanks in advance

I payed 9,000 for a 2004 Sentra with a 1.8 that had 70,000 miles on it....so if you put it in that perspective, it's a fair deal.

i think the best place to see if you're getting a deal is to check out kbb or edmunds.


edit: i'm prepared to get flamed @_@, but for someone that knows little about cars i think it's a good start

Gets about 20 city and 30 highway. The difference in manual/auto is 1 more mpg in the city. Good value if you like manual for that extra MPG but i'd rather have a free hand when it doesnt make that much of a difference. If i had the money, then i'd buy it.

But if i was looking into gas milage/manual car i'd get a civic with vtec-e.

That's about what the dealers were posting the '04 accords at when I looked (edit, 3 weeks ago). So you should be able to massage it down a bit. Avoid an '03 though.

Really? I was checking some prices around here and most were 20K+. Were the accords you were looking at V6 EXs?

Seems good, Accords have really low depreciation. I bought my 2003 EX V6 (auto) 25k miles 2 years ago for $19,500 in SoCal (where Hondas command a premium.) Dealers ask outragous prices for pretty much all late model used cars (espeically imports.)

that's a good deal. the car cost over $10K more than that new and it's only 2 years old. also, the mileage indicates it was a commute car, so that means the miles were easy on the car and the person probably took care of it.

just want to mention the 6 speed actually adds a lot of hardware over the automatic V6, including better wheels/tires, suspension, strut bar, bigger brakes, double stage intake manifold and different intake.
