Good trade? Accord for TSX
I have a 1998 Honda Accord EX-L sedan 4-cyl, 176k all original. New paint (full body) last summer 2012. Besides a flex pipe and maybe a catalytic converter (already bought), the car needs nothing else.
Someone wants my car + $2500 for their 04 TSX non-nav 6MT w/tech package, 209k body, 87k engine. Some body work seems to have been done on the pass rear door/quarter panel that existed before his ownership. The door sill is a bit wavy, and the trunk lid bottom doesn't line up perfectly on that side. Some scratches/nicks here and there, and a recent scrape on the front bumper. The rear deck was cut for 4 speakers which he took out and returned to stock, but the cut metal still exists.
A CEL is on that he claims is for the air filter, which I have never heard of in my life (an air filter setting off a CEL, but what do I know, I have an old ass accord).
He wants an auto car, I want a manual. Seems like a decent upgrade for me and he gets what he wants. Question is, do you all think its good for me? And are there any issues or things I should look out for/check upon a second look at the car? He seems to be getting a lot of hits so I wanna make a decision fairl soon.

Clutch was recently done, and I was guessing about the tech packages, it has a 6-cd unit. So I guess that was standard. My mistake.
I've just been putting way too much into my Accord and want to move on from it before it really tanks in resale value. I've been getting lowball offers of $2k and under for it, and while I know I won't get a lot for it, I was looking around $3k for it, and I know I won't get that, so I thought this trade was decent.
