hello folks..........i am looking for a 4dr AT for the family- either an LX, EX , or Special Edition...... while looking for one in various classifieds/ online, i noticed many 2000 model year accords are labeled as "Special Edition" or "SE". However.......my understanding was that Honda only produces special editions in the last model year of any given generation ( ie: 93, 97, 02) BUT... after having seen more than a few '00 models for sale as special edition or "SE".........i had to seek assistance....so here are the questions:
- WAS THERE A SPECIAL EDITION IN 2000?
- is there any difference between a "special edition" and an "SE", or is one just an abbreviation of the other?
- i know that special edition basically means an LX with EX, or "bonus" features.....if so, the how is a special edition any different than a regular EX? (besides the wheels......)

thanks for the help.............i just wanna empower myself with this info knowing that many accords (especially in CA) are salvaged or re- built....i only buy clean title, non accidental cars......and alot of idiots sell re- built cars with mixed up badging/ trim level designations.
