Next car maybe??

http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ca...=en&cardist=13

Is this a good deal? I am selling my 2.2 CL soon and need something used. I figure I cant go wron g with an Accord. Question: Does anyone know what that keypad is for under the radio?

Have no idea...I had a 97 Ex and it didn't have that thing. I actually liked the 97 EX better than my CL..

It looks clean but that car must have a shit load of miles on it since they said they drive 100 miles each day to work.

I think the chart is wrong. It's my understanding the Accord used the same 2.7l V6 from 95-97 (C27A4) then went with the 3.0 (J30A1) starting in 98.

My beater is a 97 Accord EX V6 with 165,000 miles on it and it's still running strong. I think it's a good choice for the money. (obviously, check on the miles, it may have 400,000 for all we know)

My wife had a 97 4 cyl, it was an F22 non v-tec in there.

Like I said, I have 165,000 on my V6 and it runs fine. I've just had to deal with replacing breaks and rotors and the like lately...you know..."old car" stuff.

have an accord of that gen. 94 lx coupe with about 125k and running strong. I would strongly recommend that you go with a four cylinder instead (with a 5 spd possibly), for better gas mileage and more fun. Not to mention that the four cylinder vtec (ex) model is actually a hair quicker than the V6 off the line because of the weight of the six cylinder - which itself dates back to the six cuylinder used in the 87-90 legend which in turn was borrowed off MG rover (i think). Basically, its an older engine, and I dont think it truly provides the benefits of a V6.

BTW, an EX VTEC with a 5 spd would get around 25 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the hwy.

That car looks to be in excellent condition. The leather looks great as well as the rest of the car. I don't think I'd be worried about the mileage since it is highway..for $3500 that's not a bad beater at all.
