Good news gentlemen!

Post by Yummy »

My dad's friend owns a used car dealship/repair shop, so we visited there to check cars for me. I looked at this '99 Accord 5-speed and liked it right away, it's in pretty good condition, clean engine, clean interior, etc.

What's cool is that all the guys there (my dad's friends) and my dad himself really like the idea of me driving a manual, soo cool, Unlike my mom haha

I'm no racer or anything, and don't really want to race, so an Accord is fine, a car that can take me to school, work, etc. I am so unbelievably psyched.


Sorry about this thread, just needed a place to vent my excitement.

Accords are reliable cars anyway, and decent power I think.

What engine and body style does it have?

Embarassingly, I don't know the distinguishing factors between the different types. Sorry!

I'll try to learn more about the car.

Ok well here's a list of things you should return to us:

Is it a coupe 2-door or a sedan 4-door?

I4 or V6 engine?

Trim?

I'm pretty sure it's not a V6, kind of a bummer, but that's okay! And, it is a four door sedan.

I think it's an EX.

The Honda Accord may be many things, but I wouldn't say "little" was one of them. :)
