would you buy a 98 accord ex in great condition...

[Mark]

inside and out, that had 175k miles on it, and would only drive it 2-3 miles a day total, for $5500?

 

[JDrake]

Eeek on mileage to price ratio

 

[tweakmm]

Seeing as I have an Acura...no.

It's also alota miles for the price.

 

[Aimster]

5500 is too much

$2000 bought

 

[mugs]

No way

 

[spaceman]

u can do better for $5500 if it were 75k i could see paying it, but 175? hell no.

 

[jtvang125]

yes and be sure to drop in a H22 into it.

 

[FoBoT]

that is too expensive for that high of miles

i have a 1990 with 193K miles and i seriously doubt i could get $1000 for it, more like $500

 

[mugs]

Edmunds says it's worth ~$4000. I still don't think I'd do it.

 

[mb]

bwahahahha hell no!

Well, not unless it has a lot of stickers on it. Then maybe I'd offer $6k.

If its in good condition you could easily get $1000 for it.

KBB said 5800 :shocked:

 

[NutBucket]

Yeah. Its high mileage but face it, $5500 for an Accord with "normal" mileage would mean you're buying a 94-97.

KBB said $4,930* to me for that car.. but hell if you look hard enough you can get one for a lot less than that.

*assuming 4door, 2.3l 4cyl w/ 5 speed manual. OP did not specify.

Who cares what they say? I bought a used car (previous model year with 5000 miles) and KBB said it was worth MORE than a brand new '06 of the same model. Bunch of crackheads they are.

 

[Mark]

Thx for everyones responses.

 

[mercanucaribe]

Ride a bike - $300 for a decent bike
Walk - free

 

[VirginiaDonkey]

I bought a 98 accord ex coupe just last month for 5000. Has 147K miles.

deciding factor- 1 owner with service records

I bet you would be hard pressed to find another 98 accord for 5000....or even 5500 within driving distance from you. even though book value is less

 

[lrad50]

BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA


(no)

 

[vrbaba]

whoah, u guys are really underestimating an accord huh.
there is a reason they have a good resale value.

The price seems normal, not a 'hot deal'. if u can get it to under 5k, should be ok. Plus, looks like its only been highway miles going on long drives cus 175k on a 98 is a lot in 7 years.

theres more to a car than something that drives on 4 wheels. Accord is A GOOD car.
and KBB is used by everyone (except some, i guess). Usually car sells below KBB value.

 

[Caesar]

I would buy an older model with lesser miles than a newer model with higher miles

I own a Honda. And an Acura. But I wouldn't pay $5500 for a car with 175k miles on it.

Cars sell below KBB because KBB prices are higher than market value.

 

[sniperruff]

$5500? crazy. more like $2500.
