As I promised, I have come back to post when the Accord was sold. The new owner took possession of it today for $5,500. I turned down a lot of offers in the $5k range because I knew someone right would come along. I found a real knowledgeable buyer who had the car inspected by a Honda expert, who of course gave it a clean bill of health.
After driving the car for the past month I am going to say that I will miss it. Ever since I owned an Integra GS-R when I lived in Tokyo a few years back I have been impressed with Honda quality. I am glad that this little Accord is going to a good home but I am sorry to see it go. If only I had another bay in my garage to save it for a future child or nephew or niece!
