Talking Price

It was 14,999 and I traded my 04 Accord in on it, they gave me 7,500 for it, and good ridance, On base there are honestly, no eggageration, there are 4 other silver Honda Accords I see them EVERYWHERE, Silver accords must make love and reproduce somewhere! It ran great, never had 1 problem, great gas milage, not a scratch but for some reason..... I hated it!!!!!!

And 1 question I have, Im am overwhelmed by the MODS, is there a thread for just relevant "most useful popular" mods? I think I may need to take out another loan for all things I can do with this car!!!!!!!!

I put wider tires on mine. Not sure if I'm at 240 or 245 though (parked it already for the winter).

Looks awesome - nice and beefy, not like some ten speed tires. Only thing some people may not like (but I do) - the tires want to track the road pretty bad. If the road is uneven, or if I'm on a crack - the car wants to steer back and forth with the crack. I like this, as it seems to bring me closer to the road, rather than just floating over everything.

Congrats either way though.
