Default Buy new.....used car

Was wondering if you guys thought a 98 v6 accord w/ 122000 miles for 9,499 was good, or should i keep looking?
heres the link to the car in question.

yeah, well before there was thie integra gsr for sale, dood said it was 275 hp, and 200 at the crank (imma noob so dont ask me what he had besides a supercharger) and that shit got sold. Then i thought i want something that looks good, and has a decent amount of power, so now im looking for a accord. Only thing is, the damn v6's dont have sticks (WHY DID THEY DO THAT!) and i really love having the control a stick give you in a car. so i dunno, help a brutha out, what would you guys look for if you were in my shoes?

The two door 5gen ex 5 speed i believe is just as fast, if not slightly faster, than its 5gen v6 counterpart probably due to the weight difference. Not to mention the 4 cyl is going to handle much better because the front won't be as weighed down. Id go for the 5gen Ex coupe 5 speed for those reasons plus they are much cheaper and easier to find.

5th gens are 97 and below right? if so, i think they're ugly and not a choice for me.

I think thats just the AV6's.

I was a little worried about this as well. I REALLY wanted a manual V6 coupe, but obviously they didn't make em (drool, '03 6spd) I got a used I-4 5spd instead.
