which is fine and great ... but ...
Honda rolls out the new model year around October. This 98 Accord could have been orginally purchased in 1997. 2005 - 1997 = 8 years, no warranty.
2005 - 1998 = 7 years. IF this car was certified during any time of its life ... there almost no warranty left on it. At most, we're talking 3 months.
If anyone purchases a used Honda, don't assume it's certified. It's gotta be clear and in writing.
