Hey Guys
Whatup.... Im new to this forum... Im 15 and im gonna get my permit soon and i am starting to realize how good honda is and im wondering what a good year accord to get is? I like the 4th generation i believe it is. My uncle has one and he took me for a ride and i like it. So im wondering what a average price for a good accord would be?
Please help me guys. I go to forums for all my hobbies so hopefully i can keep coming here and learn.

Welcome to the forum young buck!
In terms of good Accords, pretty much every generation is a good one. I do own a 4th gen. Accord and I love my car. It has over 207k miles on it and still runs strong and with the upgrades that I slowly make to it, it keeps getting better.
In terms of finding a good Accord at a good price I suggest you start off by finding out the values of generation Accords you are interested in. http://www.KelleyBlueBook.com tells you the blue book values of all Makes and Models for private sales and dealerships. Of course if the price of the car being offered is much lower than the blue book value then be careful when checking over the car, and if possible get a mechanic (preferably that you already know) to look the car over before buying it.
Good luck with that license and finding a ride!

Yay for newbies!!! 4th gens rock hardcore...315K on the body and it only had VERY minor rust. Engine has 120K and it runs like a champ. I bought mine for $2,000. I'd expectto pay somewhere between $3,000 and $3,500. That'd be a reasonable price...not to say you couldn't know them down a little...

Welcome to the board I personally own a 5th gen. lots of goodies for this gen.. But get the gen. you want so it will be all your own ideas I hate seeing the same thing over and over do something radical but all your own. Post pics later on.
