yup, I got an almost new car.

It started with my dads '94 Accord that spun a main baring (it has 227K miles) on it and he decided to just scrap it and get a beater car or somehting. I told him he can take over my '03 EX civc coupe (5 speed) and I'll find somehting. This could get me out of my payment and I could have a payed off car to play with... but that didn't happen.

After searching for a few days, I found an '04 Accord that was turned in on a lease because the girl that was leasing it was transfered to Canada, so it was a used certified Accord with 6,000 miles, that means I got a 95K mile warranty!!!

So the specs on my car are:
EX model
I4
auto (5speed auto though)
4 door
6-disk CD changer
6 speakers
leahter heated seats
and the really nice key/remote all in one with the trunk poper

Over all this car rides so much nicer than the civic, and it still has the double wishbone suspension.

I think this car is just as fast as my civic IMO (the 5 speed auto is nice for that) and it makes the commute to work so nice.

Well, if the ice/snow ever let up I''l take some pictures to post, but right now it's covered by about an inch of ice. And I have tree on my house and on the propane tank

My dad like the Neuspeed sway bar. Infact he's talking about getting springs and struts for it... But if he decides he doesn't want it, I'll let know you know ASAP.

I would, but they are kinda dead over there...

What is the best Accord forum though?

Excellent. I always reccommend an Accord to those who can afford it.


I found a 7thgen Accord forum (it doesn't work yet)... but I think some other forums are better.

I was drewling over a 2 door accord at the dealership last week.

accords are built far better then our cars too

the new accords are crazy, and definently are built better than our civics. but then again they cost much more so that extra cash better be for something better...

The LX Accord coupe is only about $2,500 more than the EX civic coupe, or when I got my civic in '03 the Accord LX was actually only $1,800 more, wish I had bought that to start with... oh well

thats cool. it is a nice mod, just surprised your dad cares about it. haha, if he wants full coilovers i might be selling my tein ss, very light use, lemme know.

 
Rep Power: 320

Yeah, he used to be into drag racing and all that stuff, more Muscle cars from the 70's, from when he was growing up, but he like the Honda pocket rockets too.

Those are nice coilovers. anyway, I'll let him know, but he's probably straped for cash right now, being that's it's just after the Holiday's and all. But I'll let know.
