    Figure I'll try to sell my favorite car here first before anywhere
    else.

    1997 Honda Accord LX, "Bordeux" red, Grey interior.
    5-speed Transmisson
    New tint, New battery, new timing belt, new water pump (Got the big,
    fat 100,000 mile work done on it)
    17 inch wheels, 5 star design, brushed metal look, with a Honda "H" in
    the middle, so they look semi-stock, not a "ghetto" look at all. On
    the wheels are Yokohama Avids, about 6 months old (H rated, work GREAT
    in rain, and they have even seen some snow, never miss a beat), TONS
    of tread still on them.
    Perfoamance exhaust, and performance intake, strut bar, magnacore
    spark plug wires.
    Lowered only 1.5 inches, Koni shocks and Eiback spring bought and
    installed at the same time.
    100,700 miles, still runs like a dream. Taken care of like a baby, oil
    changed every 3000, tires rotated every 6000, radiator flushed every
    365 days (I have the journals and reciepts to prove it all). The AC is
    the coldest! And despite many accords having power window issues, this
    one still rocks. And gets a solid 32 mpg on the hwy.

    I have lots of pictures I would be more than happy to email you should
    you be interested, seeing these pictures will help you appreciate this
    car more. I am in the state of Alabama (Montgomery).

    Asking $6,300. As much as it would break my heart to sell this car
    that I do so love, my wife is having a baby, need a van. If seriously
    interested, please email me at
    (you know the routine, remove the word NOSPAM from my address, the
    yahoo address is not legitimate) Or call me at 334-314-9421, that is
    just voicemail, so be sure to leave your number. I can email you as
    many pics as you wish.

    Im sure ive left out some details that arent coming to mind right now,
    if so, just email me, I'll probably not check posts to this posting,
    so dont bother posting a responce here.
    thanks!

    I wish you were in L.A. Sounds like a nice car.

    Talk about your day late! I quenched my thirst for a manual tranny
    yesterday. It was a strange day. I didn't wake up thinking I would be
    buying a car, but there it sits in front of the house.

    What I bought was a '99 Infiniti G20T Touring model with high freeway
    miles (we live in Santa Clarita, so commute is a part of
    driving...preaching to the choir, I know.) of 98,000. One owner, recent
    clutch, tune up, _the owner's manual_, in good shape. Price: $7000. For
    people not familiar with this car, its features rival my Lexus. Auto
    climate control, *nice* leather seats, power driver seat, Bose stereo,
    _a_nice_car.

    What blows me away is the resale value of a Honda Civic-- my son's '99
    Civic EX coupe with 80K miles has a higher book resale value than this
    Infiniti!

    Edmunds consumers gave the G20T a 9.3 rating with positive feedback on
    its reliability, so I'm confident it will not let us down. It amazes me
    that the Civic's resale value exceeds the value of this really cool car.
    Granted there's the difference in the Civic having auto tranny vs.
    manual in the G20, but since we wanted manual, it was a no brainer to
    trade up to the Infinity for the same price as the Honda.

    Honda's resale value is definitely something to consider when buying a
    car.

    I admit that I considered your car when you mentioned a while back that
    you might sell it. But this deal yesterday was something I had to move
    on or someone else would see the value and snatch it up. My husband
    thought I was nuts until I brought the car home. He loves it too!

    Mike, I have total confidence that when you go to sell your car, it will
    be grabbed up by someone who knows the value of one ownership and a low
    mile L.A. car. (How do you do that? Work 2 minutes from home?!) Our
    model Civics are hot Hot HOT resale.

    8 miles from home, and i ride a suzuki burgman400 to work. so the car is
    only used on long trips or for shopping :)

    extrapolating the data, this could very well be the last car i have
    until i retire.

    Did you get to see the History Channel's special on Motorcycles this
    weekend? It was really interesting and to stay on topic, spoke of how
    important the Honda motorcycle was to the overall industry.

    I want a Honda 50! That looks like so much fun!
