Not to start a religious war but just wanted some feedback from people
more experienced than me. I own a 2000 Accord that has no ABS. I
bought it in FL and didn't feel the need for one. Needless to say,
now that I am in MA, I regret that decision. A lot.

Recently I came across this ad for a used Toyota Camry 2002 LE with
ABS selling for about 13k (private party). Now, granted the history
of that car maybe suspect and my car's is known to me, but barring
that aspect, is there anything else that I should keep in mind?

I can see all the goodies, like it has a premium JBL 8 speakers (as
mentioned in the ad) sound, CD *and* cassette, 2002 vs 2000 model, and
of course, ABS. But what about power and handling and stuff like
that? How do people here compare a Camry LE to an Accord LX? (I
always thought the Hondas had a little more snob value. So both me
and my wife don't like the idea of downgrading our ride in that
sense.) :-)

Also, if the car was bought from the dealer with 5000 miles on it (it
was a "loaner" at the dealership) is that necessarily a very bad
thing? Or should it just discount the book value by a grand or so?

TIA.
