And yes, her SE was a 4 banger. The V6 is obviously much stronger & hopefully just as reliable as the Honda 4 cyclinders they are so famous for. I would like to drive the price even lower, but about $13K is about all he's going to go down to, they are asking $13.9K. Retail value according to NADA & Edmunds looks like at least $16K so I don't want to push my luck.
She is also looking at a certified '00 Infinity G20 with 26K miles for about $14.5 (asking $16K+) that will be warranteed due to the certification up to 5 years or 72K miles which will give her peace of mind. The G20 is a 4 Cycl. aout 145HP similiar to the Honda 4 before the new '03 model. Tough decision....
You don't want the G20...it's dead reliable and all, but it's slow, bland, and really was not a very good car for Infiniti. Just because it says 'Infiniti' on it don't mean it's better, I'd take the EX-V6 Coupe over it in a second. The J30 (the V6) is extremely reliable, with only a minor transmission issue (that occurs in less than 3% of all Accords, TLs, and CLs) that Honda will cover under an extended warranty. Get the EX-V6, you'll be very happy :thumbup:
What color is the Accord you're looking at? Mine is San Marino red, I love that color
