i think that is a good price for a nicely kept accord. however, i am against buying used cars with over 70,000 let alone 100,000 so i might want to check the engine out first.

"Year-to-Year Changes
1999 Honda Accord: An antitheft system went into all '99 Accords. In LX V6 models, the power driver's seat gained a power recliner. EX models added a standard remote keyless entry system. "

Hmmm... what exactly was the antitheft system? I got the LX Model (no keyless entry system)

I think the anti theft is an audible alarm when the doors are opened from the inside without being locked; I remember way back reading something about this... but I am not certain. Maybe check it out in your car?

Lock the doors from the outside, and open it up from the inside.

I just found out its an immobilizer, the key has a resistor and if the key doesn't match up w/ the car the system would disable. But it'll also cost some $$ to duplicate these kind of keys

Seems like a pretty good deal for $2700.

I don't think you can beat $2700. The miles are a little high but if it's well taken care of, 166K on an accord isn't even past it's half-life. Make sure it had the 105K timing belt replacement and keep the paint job waxed. Dark colors like that one look like crap if the clear coat starts fading. And once it starts, it's near impossible to stop. Good find :goodjob:
