I will be selling my 93 honda accord when it starts warming up due to the fact that it will cost over 500 bucks fix the AC.

My stereo system is nothing impressive; 2 Dual 12" subs in a box, Dual amp and Dual MP3/CD player with some infiniti 6x9s and front speakers. It sounds pretty good for what I payed, but it wont win any competitions.

I am wondering if I should take it out and sell it on ebay or should I just jack up the price on the car a little more. Car currently has 175k miles on it, and by April it will have around 182-185k miles.

IMO sell audio on ebay. I was looking at these cars as my first car (already drove thousands of miles in parents' cars) when I have $$, and for me, it can look fugly and be without audio -- just be reliable and as cheap as possible.

If they're buying an old Accord with 182k, they won't be willing to pay the premium for that audio system that you'd get selling it seperately. Trust me on this, I've bought a LOT of cheap cars.

you didn't, by chance, save the OEM radio to reinstall? may have to knock down the price of the car with out one.

Considering what you paid. you may want to install the system in a new car when you by it. Exspecially if it has an oem installed.

I already have an 05 mustang, I have just been using my Honda to drive on sales calls. Getting payed 50.5 cents a mile on a car that cant depreciate any more is great.

Anyways, I dont have the original OEM Deck. At the very least I could just take the amp and subs out and sell em, they wont fit in the trunk of my mustang.

sell your deck on ebay and grab a cassette deck from a junk yard and throw it in there.

Leave the CD player and speakers, pull the sub and amps. The sub will just narrow your buyer pool because older folks will really be turned off by it. The CD player will appeal to everyone.
