Dude - I always wanted an 96/97 Accord Coupe EX for my first car, only in Eucolyptus (sp?) green, with a 5-speed. Good car :)

It was $5500. It's not super-cheap, but I think it was pretty fair, considering the condition of the car. It's also harder to find a decent used Accord than one would think.

Edmunds TMV places the car at 6.5K for private party - although, it will depend on the mileage......

that car isn't that old. my buddy bought a 91 mr2 for 8K. although its comparing apples to oranges (toyota sports car to honda econo car), the age difference is what I am going for.

My son paid $7K for a 95 Ex 5 speed coupe in 2002. It's got over 150,000 miles on it now and still runs great.

"Gatsby" has repeatedly proven himself to be an incompetent moron and a jackass, so I'm not sure what difference his opinion makes.
