yeah, thinking about this one in particular in order to get the monthly$$ down. i actually dunno if its a lx or dx what's the diff? it's got pdl,pw cassette no sunroff unfortunately...must be a dx i think. as for the colour its kind of a silvery finish, dunno the exact term but i'm sure it's cheesey -my 4runner is desert dune!
my second choice is a 98 sedan with avg kms on it and upgraded headers, exhaust ,upgraded anti sway bar etc. he is only asking $3000 more than the coupe! haven't driven it yet, it could be in need of some work, if he has done all the upgrades and is selling it at a decent price...
anyway i don't want to get stuck with a high maintenance coupe (although i love the look) when a damn fine sedan (black) is a pretty close second -guess i'll have the mechanic check it out sometime this week, now all i have to do is learn to drive a 5spd!
They don't make DX for the Coupes. LX has cloth seats, EX has leather optional and has a CD changer, automatic climate control, power seats, moonroof. So what you have is an LX. The color is called Satin Silver Metallic...not cheesy at all
You can get a 6CD Change from Honda on
www.handaaccessories.com for like $450. I had a finlandia moonroof on my old Accord installed for only like $400...it was very nice.
I'm confused as to why you think the Coupe will be high maintenance. It has the same engine as the sedan you listed. I tend to steer away from modified cars...odds are the owner wasn't nice to it. As I said, the F23 in the Accord Coupe you're looking at should run to 200k without requiring major maintenance. Personally, I would get the Coupe, especially if you like the look of it better.
