Well, new to me anyway. It's a 99 Accord coupe. Silver, 5 speed, 4 cyl. 42.5K miles on it. It's in nice shape. My mechanic checked it out and he said everything looked good, car has been well taken care of.

got it for 11.5, which is less than Edmunds Clean rating on the car. We both felt like we got a good deal.

Here's the only picture I have of it right now, got it from the guy who sold it to me. It's too dark to take any pictures now.

It looks like the door is discolored, it's not, it's dirt/dust.

Pic, I'll take more pictures tomorrow
 
11.5?

hm...what kinda gas does it run on, 89?91? any idea on fuel economy?

<---is looking for daily driver
 
runs on 87, afaik

I think fuel economy is somewhere around 25 city, not sure highway. Just got it today. Ask me in two weeks, and I'll tell you how far I get on one tank. I don't go very far to work, takes me > 10 days to go 250 miles in my 15mpg blazer. This one, I might have to fill up ever 3, 3.5 weeks. 🙂

From everything I've read, it's a pretty sold car. Accords are reliable to begin with. I like it because I do like the lines and it's fun to drive. Interior space is pretty good in front, not bad in back, sure better than an Integra or Celica.

no mods. Maybe tint, and maybe a different set of Honda rims. I don't like these because they protude out the plane of the tire, They're the first thing to hit the curb when parallel parking, (previous owner left marks from doing it a couple of times) . I'll probably get an MP3 capable Head unit, and maybe some upgraded speakers, but no mods.

yep, like isekii said, the manual is only available in the 4 cyl. Plus with gas prices like they are, I didn't want the added cost of the 6cyl.

yep Ex. It's cloth, and doesn't have power seats. Single CD player, which plays burned CDs. Moonroof - whoh most people say is worthless, but I love them. Every time I drive my sister's car that has one, I always use it.

Thanks for the offer d33pt - I ran this one when I first looked at it a month ago, everything checked out 🙂


I'm pretty excited.
