Looking at cars in the ~$6k range. Been looking at accords, camrys, altimas, looked at a few civics....

Is there any reason not to buy a 98 or 99 accord with around 150k on it?

Any other suggestions? I think a 4 door automatic would be best.

thanks

I'm selling my 98 Camry for $6800 if you're interested. Nothing wrong with it, has 69K miles.

Avalons are pretty sweet and that's a lot less than 150k.



My bro has a 98 Accord with 178k that I'm very impressed with. We drove it to Asheville last weekend and I personally put about a thousand miles on it a couple of months ago. Runs like new and the interior is in great shape. I'm definately impressed with the way those older Hondas hold up. It's for sale, but I think he wants ~$5k for it. The Avalon that I posted looks like a better deal to me.

If anyone is interested in it I'll put you in touch with him and y'all can talk price. Just PM me your e-mail address.

^just curious, is sunroof a must-have feature for you? I'm asking this because it's not that important for me. When I drive cars with sunroof, I rarely ever open it.

no, its not a must have, not really important either. I doubt my mom would use it much anyway

like I said, I don't pay attention much to the sunroof. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have one though.
