Ok, so I got the new junkyard job! I'm going to be driving a hella lot. What should I do:

Currently:
1990 Honda Accord -180K, ok condition, no note or anything, 30 mpg
1996 2.5 TL 135K, $5,500 note, awesome condition, 23mpg
estimate driving 500 miles a week or more
gas 1.69 reg, 1.89 premium in St. Louis
Insurance, cheaper for the Acura

Mileage income from the job is $.345 a mile
I can easily sell the Accord for $1000.
I can sell the Acura for $6,000

So would you:
keep and drive the accord to the ground and make money, sell the acura
keep and drive the acrua, sell the accord, make some money
sell both, get a new car that I can drive and not worry about maintenance (probably something like a civic)

 

I would Keep the Acura and sell the Accord. You'll have the better of the 2 cars, and put some cash in your pocket. You're Acura has plenty of life left in her...she's barely broken in. Plus, could you really see going from a TL to a Civic??

 

so then the next question is, where can i get an xm sat radio installed for the acura.

 

I would have too agree with supercoupe.. youll just be a whole lot more confortable in the acura than the accord. Plus while driving around youll get a better look in the acura than the accord.

PS. I need some parts for my acura.. can you hook some up???

ya, i'll look in our system for acura stuff. Def trannys from 3.2 legends and stuff. If it comes avail, i will post for sure.

 

5 or 6 speed manual conversions

 

im not really looking for engine mods..

i would really like to have the wood accent pieces that are on the window switches and the center console. I dont have the wood grain on their.

 

I'm assuming you don't have the 2.5 premium ?

 

i don't know what we have, i go to akron, OH next week to get training on the parts system. At auctions in the Midwest, I'll keep an eye out of all of us.

 

i guess not. what is the difference between the premium and non premium....????

 

I don't think 2.5s ever had wood accents......as least mine didn't, but it had leather seats moonroof option.

 

mine does have the moonroof and leather seats. i think only the 3.2 had ALL the wood trim on the doors. i like the way they look.

 

I have wood on my doors and on the center console. I have a 2.5 premium.

I think that the base 2.5's had cloth, regular mirrors, and no extra wood accents (kinda reminds me of the civic dx). The regular 2.5's had leather and moonroof. And the 2.5 premium had heated mirrors, leather, wood trim, and moonroof.
