should i sell my honda accord 2003?

[johnjosh]

I currently drive honda accord 2003 and have 19500 miles on my car right now. Do you guys think it would be good idea for me to sell this car buy a new one as if i wait to long the price for how much i can sell this car will go down alot.

Why do you want to sell it?

No matter what you do, you are going to end up in the negative trying to sell the car. This is the single worst contributor to debt - kids ( and young adults) get all antsy to buy a new car, and they want to do it over and over again. You bought the car for a reason, now use it.

Save your money, drive the Accord, enjoy your trouble free vehicle, and don't waste any more money. Spend your money where it's needed most, typing and English lessons (sorry, the truth hurts).

Unless you put down a chunk, you are too upside down in it to come out ahead.

Then what you want is a LEASE.

Then you sir, are an idiot if succumb to such an irrational desire. Grow up a little and stop thinking like a child. Why would you drop that kind of money on a car only to loose that much the second the title is transfered into your name?

As stated above - leasing sounds like a much better option.

Hey, it's his money, he can spend it as he wishes. However, it's not a very financially sound desire. Some people can afford to purchase like this. However, they usually don't drive Honda Accords.

Personally, I like to have a car long enough so I get to know it and feel like it's mine. By the time I get rid of a car, I know every part of it, all of the subtleties of handling, etc.

But he's asking my opinion and I shall give it. I agree 100% with the rest of your reply.

[johnjosh]

thx for everyone reply i see most people are saying no as for lease option i would love to do that but the option is lease for 3 years with 12000 miles a year and then you pay 20c for every mile u go over, my problem i don't even have a car a year yet i got in may and i already have 19500.

I was JUST about to post something like that

It's a never ending game, you will never come out on top. You're paying over the roof on depreciation if all you're going to do is own it for a year and let it go.

But if money doesn't play a big factor in your decision, then what the hay

 

[Mermaidman]

I answered "No" to your poll, but now I'm having second thoughts. Go to Edmunds.com and compare the used 2002/3 Honda prices with prices of NEW Hondas--they're almost the same!

If johnjosh can break even or lose just a few hundred, it might not be a bad idea for him to sell and satisfy his desire for new cars! He'll have to sell to private party and not do a trade-in though.

i know what you mean but i used to have 1995 nissan altima and keep it till this year and ended up giving it to donation as it didn't worth alot, i had over 100,000 on it. So that is why i am looking when i can sell this one and not loose to much money.

Pleast suggest a more manly vehicle then.

 

[Miramonti]

my car is a 2k and has less miles than that. thats low but almost 20k in a year is quite a bit.

Why on earth would you want to buy a new Accord, the 04 is the same style as the 03. If you want to spend your money wisely wait until the next restyle of the car and then buy.
