Both cars are good, and will last you way beyond 2 years.You need to find out more information about each of the cars. Some simple information would be what "trim" are they. The Accord has 4 or 5 different trims (DX, LX, EX, SE...). Plus are they automatic or manual (automatics cost a little more). Are they 2-door or 4-door? What condition are they in? If you go look at the cars, the Altima might be a little rusty, but the Accord is in great condition. All those things affect it, as well as many more things. Go buy a copy of Consumer Reports Used Car Buying Guide ($10). It will tell you lots of helpful things on what to look at visually on the car, and what to pay attention to when you're test-driving it.From what info you gave, the Altima is a slightly better value. The Accord is overpriced by about $200. But as I said earlier, the Altima might be banged up a little and that's why it's cheaper.
