IT SURE IS PRETTY. BUT IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. I MEAN THE STYLE ISNT EVERYTHING. IF ITS YOUR FIRST CAR, THEN GO AHEAD.MY HUSBAND TOLD ME IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TOO EXPENSIVE, ON THE COUNT OF THE MILES AND MODEL. BUT HONDAS ARE REAL GOOD CARS...SO, IF ITS NOT A FAMILY CAR, I WOULD SAY GO AHEAD! JUST TRY TO TALK THEM DOWN A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS. GOOD LUCK!

depends on how the previous owners took care of it. if the previous owners maintained it properly, then it should be okay.since its from a dealership, i'd get a mechanic to inspect it since you probably can't contact the previous owner.and just to tell you, dealerships will genearly be more expensive than private sales

This is my husbands answer>>>I am a factory trained Honda tech, and have owned 7 Honda's, all which had over 180,000 miles on them and have sold them for mid to high blue book, as long as the car was taken care of it will go for 300,000 miles easy, i would ask them if the transmission has ever been replaced or serviced, due to the fact that Honda had extended the factory warranty on the transmissions in later model accords, Honda builds one of the best cars on the road. Also, if buying from a car lot, get a Carfax from them on the car this will tell you if its ever had any accidents
